The Weather Thread

Also to keep them from being frozen to the windshield in thaw-freeze cycles like we often get up there. Took alot of work today to break the ice so I could get the rear hatch open.

 

Big Snow event tonight in the PNW! Everyone is freaking out! it snowed hard last Sunday and schools were cancelled Monday and Tuesday. Snow is still on the ground and more in the forecast. This apparently is very unusual. Generally it will snow and then melt and not snow for a month or two after.....

My Buds and I are planning a ride tomorrow in some fresh powder hopefully!!

By 10 PM tonight, there is a lot of snow as stage 2 revs up ...4-6 inches around Seattle and more to the east. There is going to be a region of heaviest snow where the moist flow off the Pacific converges with the cold flow coming out of the north.

 

My son lives in Klickitat. He says the grandkids are going crazy though it doesn't look like they are going to get as much as you.

 

Nice! Yeah the kids are loving this. Its crazy just a couple of weeks ago it was in the 50's and it seemed like winter would never come! It's here now.

 

What site or app is everyone using for local riding area weather? Santa Ana Mts. , San Gabs, etc. Thanks

 

I use the Nasty Weather Service. They do an acceptable job of forecasting down to the zip code or map pinpoint "clicked-on" location. But you will not get a long range forecast (more than 5 days) for any area.

There is no other. Everything else is just fake news.

@rossage posted this one up the other night.....

I tend to look at Weather.com for Silverado and Trabuco. I know that temps up on Main Divide are usually about 10* cooler than those posted.

 

Keep an eye on mountain-forecast and let me know how it compare to your known sources. It seem to be pretty accurate for my uses.

 

A perfect amount of light rain has fallen and ended in my zone. The hero dirt has been renewed.

 

It's weathering in Laguna right now. Local trails still closed.

East ski area at Mt. High now open for the first time in five years. 1600' vertical per run on a high speed quad lift.

 

I saw a report on the news last night about this. They said that the runs are steeper and longer on that side.

 

Yet again! But I know we really need it.

 

It was just pouring here..

 

Sheesh... much easier running in the rain than biking in it - at least until Holy Jim and Trabuco are opened up. Even Harding is getting a little mucky (at least at the bottom). Guess Maple Springs is the only game in town?

 

Real slow lift, but go check out Mt. Baldy... that's the goods! Once every decade they have some good snow there!

 

I love the Weather Underground 10 day. It is pretty accurate with good visuals: https://www.wunderground.com/forecast/us/ca/redlands/92373

 

Truth. When baldy is deep there is nothing close in all of so cal. Maybe even all of California. Steep chutes, nice rock faces and long runs especially if you go to the bottom. Just gotta now how to get to them.

 

Agree totally,...most skiers/snowboarders are quick to dismiss baldy but if we have enough snow and the right conditions those chutes to the parking lot are world class!!

 

Hmmmmm....

My only hesitation (other than the slow lift) is the access road. I've never been there, but I've heard stories. Even the website says "the roads are a mess."

 

Weather? What weather?

 

A few hours later...

 

Much nicer weather around here...

 

Geez, that owl don't care what the weather is.

 

How was the ride between coffee shops?

The Mountains are Calling...

 

So jealous.. nice work

 

It was beautiful in Pismo Beach earlier, in SLO now and still sunny around 60 degrees.

 

Snowmaggedon happened! Well it’s not as bad as it sounds and it’s actually perfect. Beautiful day out today navigating the powder!

 

Where's that?
