[QUOTE="Allen, post: 147792, member: 389"] While taking the "under" would indeed seem like a good bet, this is called the "pineapple express" by some. Lots of warm and moist air streaming into that area over the coming days. As it lifts over the mountain range it's obviously going to dump a metric crap ton of snow. The preferred blend of models suggests 40-50 inches of snow as more reasonable than what's shown in this image though. I guess it's possible some valley or backside of a peak will get drifting, but that's not modeled amounts. Then again, you already know this. As a hydrologist, I say good for them. This is one of the areas that has been under the most extreme of droughts the past few years. They've even gone so far as to dump millions of plastic balls into their drinking water reservoirs to help slow evaporation. Which is a pretty novel idea that they will regret when they need to pick all of them up.
