#StokeLevelPinned - SNOW, SNOW, SNOW



Buenos dìas, my friends Cup'O'Joe in hand with the #StokeLevel @11.9 as I read the NWS forecast discussions and review the models. NorCal is about to get a #Refresh of #MaNatural with Bear Valley, Dodge Ridge, and China Peak all in the 10" to 12" zones on the low end, with some forecasters lining up a 21" to 32" clean sweep! Now, I am a little more on the conservative end of the spectrum, and this is all about #MotherNature and the track she will take across Norcal. As of 0400, the models below show a solid hit to the region, with a southerly tact that was not in the cards three days ago. Hence, it can change, and as fickled a #MotherNature is, she just might, my friends... However, let's take a look at the NAM 3km models to get an idea of impacts and timing, as you want to get ready for a weekend of POWHunt'n ahead!

NAM-3km model - 6hr Precip (inches) - Storm approaches Norcal, tail drops impacting BV/DR and CP resorts!

As you can see from the 3km models above and below here, we are in the #Zone and will see measurable precip at all three(3) Norcal resorts, and if these models hold, there is a chance < 30% as this model stands for Mtn High to see its first measurable snowfall in December.

NAM-3km model - 12hr Precipitation (inches) - The first(1) wave of two(2) exits

Now let's look at the NAM 3km 2m Temperature models

NAM- 3km 6hr MAX 2m Temperature (ºf) - NWS teams forecasting snow levels 5k-5.5k possible #ColdSmoke?
NAM-3km - MIN 2m Temperatures (ºf) - NWS teams forecasting snow levels 5k-5.5k
NAM-3km 6hr Precip, MSLP, 850mb - #StokeLevelPinned

Now let's wrap up the morning report - Here is the NAM-3km Total snowfall model for Norcal and Socal - This is a 10:1 Ratio (inches) through December 13, 2024, @1600 PST.

NAM-3km Total Snow (10:1 ratio) (in) - Dec 11-13, 2024

Let's be clear: this is a model and not the radar, so stay tuned and thirsty, my friends; if I see any crazy swings or adjustments, I will repost tonight before 2200. If not, I'll see you all out here tomorrow morning, bright and early, get'n fired up for a POWHunt'n session at any one of our Cali Pass resorts... Stay'nThirsty for POW Coop
