Snows? For Real? Like Shut-up! Srsly! OMG Get outta here….Ok maybe not. (UPDATED)

Filed on: September 28th, 2011 By: Lionel Hutz

UPDATE:
Looks we are going to stay just too warm for this to produce any snows. System is going to take in a lot of maritime air, and the trough isn’t developing as it was previously modeled. Oh well. …

And We’re Back….F(lake)-KNA (UPDATED)

Filed on: September 12th, 2011 By: Lionel Hutz

Hot-Damn! It feels like it’s been a long time since I wrote about freezing weather and frankly I’ve started to miss you guys. It’s been quite a ride since we last talked and you know what….I’m ready for the …

A First Step

Filed on: September 4th, 2011 By: Greg

Among many first steps towards winter to be made this September, there’s this one that Christian took into the abyss.

Getting off this party line, was no fun at all. Zero fun.

Lionel Hutz took the first step too. He’s supposedly going …

I hear Irene (Updated)

Filed on: August 25th, 2011 By: Lionel Hutz

UPDATE:
By now we’ve all seen the terrible damage brought by Irene’s rains. I’m not going to dwell on that. 5 to 10 inches of rain is a terribly destructive amount of water. We’ll recover but it’s going …

Ain’t Nothing Gonna Break My Stride

Filed on: May 20th, 2011 By: Porter Haney

The snow’s always light in the Wasatch.  We never get the quagmire that Tahoe calls snow.  Definitely not.
At least that’s what we thought.  40 inches of snow and 5 inches of water later, we’re neck deep in the quick snow. The …

More Snow in the Wasatch (!)

Filed on: May 18th, 2011 By: Ben

When yet another mid-May storm drops 13″ of new snow and brings LCC’s season total to 731″, you can bet the FIS were out there to sample the storm skiing. After all, the powder isn’t going to ski itself!

Cinco Pow Mayo (or: Combo Number Five)

Filed on: May 11th, 2011 By: Greg

Mother’s Day, Cinco de Mayo, May Snow Plowers… however you want to make a joke about it, it snowed schuss-worthy amounts in the first week of May (again) this year in two different jurisdictions of the FIS. The Utah and …

The Wasatch Sanction

Filed on: April 12th, 2011 By: Porter Haney

Lionel Hutz doesn’t just do weather, he completes sanctions too.  Words by Lionel.
I was retired. I was out of the game.  I had seen too much, lost too many friends and been a nobody too long to go on any …

Spring Skiing is Fun!

Filed on: April 9th, 2011 By: Ben

L_H came to visit Porter and I at the Wasatch bureau of FIS on Thursday. We’re not sure exactly what kind of dealing he’s had with Ullr, but it seems to have worked! It’s been nuking pretty much non-stop since …

March: In like a Slob and out like a Coastal Storm? Updated Friday PM

Filed on: March 30th, 2011 By: Lionel Hutz

Friday PM Update:
Eh…storm blooming a bit with some radar returns snowing light snows along the Green spine and Catskills.  Not a very well organized system by any means.  Wasn’t feeling my snowfall totals a few hours ago and though they …

Shane Day 2011

Filed on: March 26th, 2011 By: Greg

In honor of Shane McConkey, the east coast bureau of FIS did some naked pow skiing today.

KC got mostly naked too… we need to keep this SFW after all.

Win.

Who are the best skiers on the mountain? That’s right. These FamousInternetSkiers.

Spring will start with a snow storm.  Throughout today, northern stream energy will swing into the Northeast.  With below freezing temps this storm will bring snow over the next 24 hours.  High resolution modeling indicates that the High Peaks and …

The Ides of March… Whatever that Means

Filed on: March 15th, 2011 By: Lionel Hutz

So the way I see it, the start of the NCAA tourney and the  move to daylight saving time is the start of spring.  While that doesn’t mean we will not get some great powder from now until the end of the …

Cleaning Up After The Slob

Filed on: March 9th, 2011 By: Greg

With The Slob in the history books (or at least in an entry in the FIS archive), we decided it was time to get out there and do some cleanup work. None of us could make it to the mountain …

UPDATED TOTALS

Wasatch Weather: March Madness Begins Sunday

Filed on: March 4th, 2011 By: Lionel Hutz

Actually it doesn’t. But old man Ullr (PRAISE!) doesn’t care. He’s ready now for the drama, the excitement, the passion and the heartbreak that only March can bring. So what’s he to do? How about conjur up a doozy of …

TR: Cold Town, Winter in the City

Filed on: March 1st, 2011 By: Porter Haney

Utah, Vermont, and everywhere in between was slated to get POW’d upon this weekend.  L_H had it nailed in the forecast – Utah was replete with waist, to chest, to face deep powder.

Cold Town, Winter in the City

Filed on: February 28th, 2011 By: Porter Haney

As eloquent as the Lovin’ Spoonful put it in summer of ’66,  we took it upon ourselves to adjust their classic tune for another season – Cold Town, Winter in the City.   Not just any cold town either, but the cold …

Look…either the collins plot is messed up or something seriously magical just went down up at Alta.
What am I talking about? Well look at these precip totals for the last two hours:

As advertised, the winds are howling in the mountains and valleys alike, dust is widespread, the pre-frontal orographic snow has commenced, and the heavy snowfall is on the doorstep. The cold front is expected to crash into the Wasatch …

February Thaw: A taste of spring or the intermission?

Filed on: February 15th, 2011 By: Lionel Hutz

I was going to call this post “Roller Coaster of Love” in honor of Valentine’s Day and the fact that temps over the next 5 days will indeed be on a roller coaster.  However, I hate roller coasters, don’t celebrate …
