Definitely some big time ridging coming following this short period of troughing.

It's called clown range for a reason.

The icon still says no, although next week looks pretty damn awesome on all the mountains. Might try Seymour on Wednesday.

In the mountains, sure.

In Seattle or Portland or the Oregon Coast or Redding or Chico or maybe even a little in Sacramento, possibly.

IMBY? No chance whatsoever of anything significant.

Fkn useless POS month.

Snow forecast is by no means perfect but as of now, it's calling for 60 cm on Seymour next Tuesday/Wednesday. Looks like about 100 cm for sasquatch, and 50-60 cm for Manning.

You’ve got the ICON on your side which I’m not betting against.

The 12Z GEM has a major Atmospheric River stalling over the LM/FV/Whatcom regions next week. Thankfully, it's highly unlikely to verify. :lol: :wave:
