Hey Mike – I was disappointed last year when your forecasts missed (as in made no mention of) a couple of whopper storms for Tahoe.
Our current storm also did not make your list of predictions.
Can you run us through why you may have missed this biggest of storm of the year?
Also, do you see it making a return next month, will it still have enough juice left for some April pow?
Thanks!
Hello Andy, Tahoe has been a hard place for me to forecast, so I have missed storms there because I have been burned too many times. However, I have a solution that I have just come up with beginning this cycle. I am going to forecast storms with a 3-day variance for Lake Tahoe, that is not Ideal, but Tahoe storms are a harder to predict because they have a lot to do with teleconnection help, from the MJO and AO.
This storm was on our spreadsheet but has had hit on 3 different cycle days the last 3 cycles. I had already picked two Tahoe storms Feb 1 and 15th and was too afraid to gamble on this storm, for fear of busts. Both of those storms came thru so I’ll be more inclined to add all of the possibilities. I will write a blog about this question. Thanks Andy!
