It was sunny all day and Tuesday looks the same. Doesn't look like we'll return to winter weather till Sunday. Cross your fingers that we don't have to start building base all over again.
I found our snow. it is on Yosemite. they measure by the foot :) URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Hanford CA 1145 AM PST Mon Feb 5 2024
CAZ323-326>331-060345- /O.CON.KHNX.WS.W.0006.000000T0000Z-240206T1200Z/ Yosemite NP outside of the valley-Upper San Joaquin River- Kaiser to Rodgers Ridge-Kings Canyon NP-Grant Grove Area- Sequoia NP-South End of the Upper Sierra- Including the cities of Tuolumne Meadows, Wawona, Devils Postpile, Florence Lake, Lake Thomas Edison, Lake Wishon, Huntington Lake, Shaver Lake, Cedar Grove, Grant Grove, Hume Lake, Giant Forest, Lodgepole, and Johnsondale 1145 AM PST Mon Feb 5 2024
...WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 AM PST TUESDAY ABOVE 5000 FEET...
* WHAT...Heavy snow expected above 5000 feet. Additional snow accumulations of 3 to 5 feet. Additional snow accumulations as high as 7 feet are possible at elevations above 8,000 feet. Winds gusting as high as 50 mph.
* WHERE...The Sierra Nevada above 5000 feet.
* WHEN...Valid through 4 AM PST Tuesday.
* IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult to impossible. Widespread blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility. Very strong winds could cause extensive tree damage.
I'm coming up with the son, tail end of this week, we'd love to shove some snow under the sleds but that doesn't look too promising. Coming up just the same, fine for some R&R. Moose River and kayak, anyone?
Looks like another weekend down the drain I will keep hoping whatever happened to lake effect snow I know it would be two feet of it to get in shape but I would take a dusting on the fire pit out in front Steve.
That's the problem, we haven't been getting lake effect like we did years ago. All we need is a few inches a day to replenish the snow the sleds ate up.
Time will tell,don't look good.

This time in the season, if the base waves goodbye we've pretty much taken a hit below the waterline.
ReplyDeleteYou never know February and March can bring storms. Can’t throw in the towel yet!
ReplyDeleteWinter will return! Don’t give up! Been coming up here since 1976! Change your reservations accordingly…
