It's not like they've never had a "monster" blizzard before. Happens every year.
I don’t believe 190mph either
Probably in some passes that imposed the Venturi Effect - where they know they will get incredible numbers that don’t match up with straight winds...
>> 190 MPH.....don’t believe it...
Truth. It gets windy in those parts of CA, but not anywhere near 190MPH.
The National Weather Service revealed that gusts reached a dramatic 190mph at an elevation of 8,700 feet in Palisades Tahoe.
Mt. Washington in NH is 6,288.2 ft. And they've recorded gusts of 171 mph there in 2019. 190 mph gusts are certainly possible at 8700 ft.
Yep, I just looked it up and seems every year they get storms with 10 or more feet of snow. A few years ago it was dozens of feet after the towns got hit with storm after storm htere. I remember seeing videos of the massive snowblower trying to Clear the directs and driveways there, and seeing the snow literally up to and over the roofline. People were stranded in their homes for days in cases. Course they coulda walked out a second story window onto the snow, but if they sunk down, it woulda been a nightmare trying to get back out.
I’m sure the Sierras are beautiful and all, but the amount of snow they get there is jusy insane
“190 MPH.....don’t believe it...”
Me either.
Mount Washington had a recording of 231 mph in 1934. It’s possible in higher elevations.
