Good morning!

Oh. My. God. You thought this past week was good? Read this forecast (and ignore the wind part).

Today looks clear and frigid. Winds start of NE 15-20, buidling to NE 15-25mph by 1pm and building to NE 25-30mph, maybe stronger, by 7pm. No precip.

Tomorrow starts off clear and cold with NE wind at 25-35. Winds go to N 20-30 midday, swinging around to NW 25-30 by about 1pm, bringing some clouds to the sky. We’ll see snow start by 1am, for 2-3” overnight. the snow level will be at the surface.

Sunday looks snowy and windy, possibly problematically windy. Winds will be WNW 35-40 early, building to WSW 45-50 by 10am, going to WSW 50-60 by 1pm, building more to WSW 60 by 4pm. Dumping snow returns on Sunday morning, with total precip of 1.25-1.5” with the snow level around 1500’-2000’ for 12-18” of new.

Think that sounds like a lot of snow? Nope. The snow level holds around 2000’ on Monday, when we’ll see 1.5-2” of water value for 18-26” of new snow. No, seriously. Winds are going to be an issue. We’ll start off with WSW 50-60, dropping to WSW 45-55 by 1pm.

Everybody smile for little Skibowl and Cooper Spur. Cooper Spur opens at noon today and will be open all weekend.

We’ll see a ton more snow on Tuesday. On Tuesday night, we’ll see a brief period of warming, with temperatures rising to near freezing at 5000’. Cross your fingers.

Want to go windsurfing or kiting in the desert in big wind? Sunday afternoon and next Wednesday are your days.

2/24 forecast

Good morning.

Skiing and snowboarding don’t get no more bettah than this.

We’ll see moderate to heavy snowfall on Mt. Hood today with the snow level at 0’. Snow will taper off after 1pm, remaining light to moderate through midnight. Winds will be nearly calm today. Total precip will be around .5”, for 6-8” more light and dry and fluffy blower powder.

Tomorrow starts off cloudy, but clears rapidly for a cold, dry, sunny day with the freezing level at 0’. Winds will be light until 4pm, building to E 20-30 late in the day.

Saturday starts off clear, with clouds moving in late in the afternoon. Winds start off light, building to NW 15-20 by 1pm and picking up again after 10pm. The freezing level will be at the surface.

By Sunday morning, we’ll have some wind issues. Early morning winds will be WNW 40-45, building to W 45-50 by 1pm. Models are all over the place with the snowfall on Sunday. One shows less than .25” and one shows nearly 1” of precip. Because I’m an optimist, I’m going with snow all day long for 8-10” of new. But we’ll have to wait 48 hours to see the real forecast.

It looks like we’ll see warmer temps next week, with the potential for icky-style warming on Wednesday, but that’s a long, long way out.

Yippee! Have a great day today!
