FYI: Weather Guy just pointed out to us that we just had 3 straight 100 inches snowfall months.  The last time that happened was in 92-93.  Nice...
The Weather Guy's Snowfall Outlook...
Light snow showers develop late tonight and early Wednesday followed by dry weather on Wednesday afternoon through Friday morning.  Snowfall then returns on Friday late afternoon and night with clearing expected on Saturday morning.  

Amounts with tonight's storm shouldn't exceed a couple of inches with close to 10" possible from the storm on Friday night. 

Dry and warmer weather is then expected on Sunday and into next Tuesday followed by the next chance for snow around St. Patty's Day, probably just a minor storm if it happens at all.   A more active storm pattern is then forecast for after March 19th.

High over Alaska
We picked up this image from Ken Clark over at AccuWeather.com.

This was the forecast from the first week of December... The big old high over Alaska and a westerly flow into California.

One would expect to see more and more of this pattern over the next 100 days.

Weather & Video Links

If you are a weather nut like The Snowman and friends you try to take in as much content as you can.  Below are some links to some great Video Content.  The web is moving forward fast and video is in.  Try the links below, you will learn much!

Over the last 20+ years, My Snow Bum Friends and I have enjoyed learning about the weather.  It all started with Doctor George Fishback from ABC Channel 7.  We would wait up till 11:20 every night in the winter and fall to hear the weather news and talk.  

When we moved to Mammoth in 1985 Don Marcelin was the man.  He knew more about local weather then anyone I had ever met.  Around that time Howard Sheckter started the Famous Snow Phone 760-934-snow.  When you called in, you got a  detailed discussion on Mammoth Mountains weather and snowfall forecast.       

Now it's 2010 and we have hundreds of weather links and detailed discussion Blogs.  The best part is most of it you can get access to for free.   I still think the best two forecasts are The Window Cast and The Vermont Weather Stick.  You will never go wrong with those!
