Spring has arrived in the
Eastern Sierra and Mammoth
Lakes. We had great weather
on Saturday, with a high
near 50 at 8000 feet.
Today Sunday is going to be
cooler with some gusty
winds. A weak system is
sitting off the coast and
that will be our wind
kicker. We had winds up to
47 up top early this am.
You can also expect some
high clouds at times as you
can see on the satellite
image to the right.
Highs look to be near 44 on
Sunday and 40 Monday/
Tuesday at the Main Lodge.
Expect highs 4-7 degrees
warmer in town. Night time
lows will be in the 20s.
This
Spring weather in the Mammoth
Lakes area and up on Mammoth
Mountain will continue for at
least a week and possibly
longer. Things will be cooler
the next few days then they have
been over the weekend with highs
around 40/44. Weather models
become very unreliable as we
move into the spring season.
So we will stick with an outlook
in a 7-10 day time period.
The extended outlook offers us up some
possible spring snow late in the
period. This could take
place as early as the day 8/9
period. For now we will wait and
see before getting excited about
any more powder days. We have
seen winters in the past just
turn off in mid march, so lets
pray this in not one of those
years.
Enjoy today's weather here in the
Mammoth Lakes and Eastern Sierra
areas.
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...

Outlook
Bio: Always fascinated with
the weather, skiing was just a
natural extension of my love for
snow and rain.
Snowfall forecast are
for the Sesame snow
course (Main Lodge) As
reported in the 7 AM
daily snow report for
new snow.
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.

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

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!
