Not going to be a big snow event in our neck of the woods as of this morning's NWS CP. If the back end proves stronger we could get a few additional inches on top of the slop pile they say we are getting,3 to 5 inches.Damian and Hyde will do a little better than us.This is a classic "areas N and W of the City" type storm that frequently hit this area in the 60's and 70's.Maybe a slight tick east can give us an inch or two more but time is running out now, almost nowcast.

Hunga Tonga erupted to 63K and is still ongoing. VEI 4/5 and tsunamis affected the entire pac rim basin

Tonga tsunami, quite impressive that it propagated all the way to stations in the coast of Mexico (Manzanillo over 1.4m) and California... Here is a order one attempt to model this tsunami @geosmx #geoclaw pic.twitter.com/drzz5GMHJK

The world's highest concentration of sulfur dioxide (SO2) is currently located in the South Pacific, near the Tongan volcano.

This toxic gas will cause acid rain in the region

It looks unlikely that enough SO2 will reach the stratosphere to cause a global cooling effect. pic.twitter.com/h26mEWqaCM

Interesting

Big earthquakes cause the solid earth to ring like a bell, what seismologists call normal modes. Looks like the Tonga eruption rang the atmosphere. https://t.co/Zq5C8oX8yn

This same day last year i was at 8.75" of snow
Today I have measured 8.7".
Next few weeks need a few more storms to keep the pace!

Over 6 inches of snowpack, cold temps and more snow threats on the board.We are not even in the dead of winter, last two weeks of January and first two of February.What a difference. one month makes.

I just hope this doesn't become the winter of missed opportunities.

Every winter is a winter of missed opportunities. Sometimes we just get lucky and enough of them come together.

It’s so frustrating to get a good old fashioned snowstorm .we have heatwaves in the summer ,tornadoes,hurricane
Tropical storms and more .all we want is a snowstorm and blizzard

Yep, the most likely scenario is usually not sig snow unfortunately. It's an anomaly when it occurs...
