Cooler Storms On Tap

We have another series of more promising storms slated to hit our area on the 3rd, 6th and 10th of January. All of these storms are much cooler and will bring all snow to all Tahoe Resorts and snow to some valley locations and lake shore locations. 

Unfortunately, these are still not the storms we are looking for as they will enter and exit our area in a relatively short period of time as these are all fast moving storms.

This storm looks to be the best of the bunch. It will begin to effect our area on the 2nd (Tomorrow) but the heavy stuff looks to be coming early on the 3rd. All the weather models are in good agreement. We see around a foot of snow for Mt. Rose and possibly slightly more. Again, this is a much cooler storm.

The models are not in total agreement on this one. The above image is the forecast by the ECMWF model, which has been the most reliable of the bunch. This will again be a colder storm and will begin to effect the area in the late afternoon of the 6th  (Saturday).

This is a ways out. The above forecast comes from the Canadian model. Since the storm is originating in Canada we figured, what the heck! All of the models are showing some disturbance, the Canadian is the most aggressive.

Finally, here is the total precip forecast by the European Model for the next 10 days. If all goes well we could be looking at an additional 3 feet of light, dry powder to work with. That should greatly aid all the area operations in opening more terrain.

Despite the slow start to the season, we are still very optimistic for above average precip. We are in a strong El Nino and sooner or later the Jet will align and bring stronger and more frequent storms to the area. Hopefully, we do not have to wait until March for this to happen.

Happy New Year ... Stay Tuned ...
