More snow? Personally, I’m getting a little tired of this Global Warming...

Didn’t they call this pattern El Niño once upon a time?

We barely had 1/2" of new accumulation today in Pocatello. I pushed it off the driveway anyway. Left alone, it melts slightly and turns into a sheet of ice. I really want the streets clear, clean and dry again.

Skiers, farmers welcome Sierra storms*********************EXCERPT*********************
By MARTIN GRIFFITH, The Associated Press
2:08 p.m. February 14, 2009
RENO, Nev. — Skiers and farmers rejoiced after another storm dropped more than 2 feet of snow in portions of the Sierra Nevada, but the range's snowpack still is below average so far this winter.
The latest snowfall was just in time for the Presidents Day weekend, traditionally one of the busiest periods of the season for Lake Tahoe ski resorts.
Skiers and snowboarders packed the slopes Saturday after a string of storms left up to 6 feet of snow at Tahoe since Sunday and the best ski conditions this year.
"I haven't seen this many people with powder up to their waist in a very long time," said Rachael Woods, spokeswoman for the Alpine Meadows resort just north of Tahoe. "Our parking lots are at capacity today."
Her resort reported 27 inches of snow at its mid-mountain at 7,500 feet elevation over a 24-hour period ending Saturday morning.
While the recent storms have been good news for the region's water outlook, they still aren't enough to erase a dry January, said Dan Greenlee, a hydrologist with the U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service.
The Sierra would have to see snowfall of 185 percent of average for nearly two months in order to meet an average year's snowpack, he said.

Climate Change which man has created. Why aren't they explaining previous ice ages and (cough cough) "warming" periods? Could it be Mother Nature and God given climate adjustments? Nope, the money exchangers want infamous "carbon credits" and our money in cash, all denominations acceptable.

I , for one, am sure glad this breaks some of the drought in northern Northern California and builds up our snow pack as well as Socal getting some of their own water due to rains replenishing their local reservoirs.
To: FlingWingFlyer
It seems they have actually stepped up the doom and gloom rhetoric... funny that we continue to have no sun spot activity and extremely cold weather... and the doomers refuse to even discuss this fact.
To: lainie
El Nino is when the water is warmer than normal, La Nina colder than normal.. when storms come in one after the other it’s a pineapple express. We had a huge pineapple express back in the early 80’s that flooded the entire Colorado River/Dam system... and until it started it had been a below normal winter, the lakes were not prepared for so much rain and we almost lost our dam system.

Coast to Coast? Hope no more planes drop from the sky
To: NormsRevenge
Here is a question for my fellow Freepers:
The state of Kentucky was slammed by ice storms so severe and damaging that the Governor declared an emergency and called out the National Guard to help rescue people and restore power etc.
WHERE IS FEMA??
WHERE IS PRESIDENT OBAMA??

I thought it had to do with the jet stream dipping further south than usual. I can't remember it all anymore. :-)
As for precipitation...this system has all the ingredients to produce significant rainfall across the area...including strong southeast winds and good jet dynamics. Current quantitative precipitation forecast forecasts of 1-3 inches for coasts/valleys...and 2-5 inches in the foothills/mountains looks fine at this time. Locally higher amounts will be possible in the more favored south-facing slopes tonight and Monday.
Sounds like a good soaker is heading our way down here.
