Thunderstorms are far more rare than snowstorms over here.

I wouldn’t want the ridge axis much farther west than that anyway

I know I was just joking around. Its fun. Now I know why Nito likes it so much. :lol:

I don't know where anybody is getting the idea of a +PNA. There must be enough ensembles members showing a -PNA given the mean has consistently shown solid NP/GOA blocking.

Just to clarify I was referring to that Twitter guy. He must be blind because PNA is tanking on all ensembles. Please have all the fun you want :thumbup:

I wouldn't call him an idiot. Its not respectful to name call. However, I do agree with you that its rather strange that anyone would suggest ensemble support for a +PNA in the long range. :thumbup:

I'll delete that. I'm just tired of seeing some people play with other people's emotions when what it is, is essentially misinformation. I'm as amateur as it gets and even I can see he's trying to mess with people.

Pretty good at the ski area base elevation. The wall of snow driving in at one point is higher than the car for sure. The only spot where the snow was thin was on Benny's run, which is typical. Looking at some Creek openings near the bottom it looked like at least 1.5 m base.

I appreciate that. I hope it didn't come across preachy. I just don't think we should be name calling. :thumbup:

It is perplexing that anybody would suggest that there is ensemble support for a +PNA in the long range. I mean look at the ensembles. Where is it?

+EPO and +PNA. Beauty isnt it? We could see some very warm weather if that ridge pivots a bit further east.
