Here is one of the videos I shot on FRIDAY Feb 16th for posting on the SNOWEST FORUMS FB Page.

This is the 2nd video on shot on FRIDAY Feb 16th, just a few hours later as the weather changed and it went from Good to EXCELLENT!
And we are into a few days of DRY now.
Next good snow should roll in on SUNDAY
TUESDAY and WEDS should be GOOD days for riding!

So, how accurate do you feel these forecast maps have been this winter? Just curious, not being snarky. I am due into West on Mon 26. Would be nice to see some fresh.
They tend to be HIGHLY altitude Specific.
I have been pleasently SURPRISED on several of my journeys this winter, finding BETTER SNOW then I was expecting.
I still think the Time-Map program is OVERLY OPTOMISTIC, in total snowfall accumulation for the selected time frame, but the snow has always been there when I arried.
I think the numbers really seem to settle down 24-48hrs out.
Much more than that is wishful thinking.
Several times this season we have seem the storm tracks simply MOVE SOUTH stealing ALL of the predicted big snowfalls and seeing them land in Southern Idaho or Northern Utah.
I also watch this EVERY SINGLE DAY

"Pocatello just went above our average snowfall for the season. This is the first time since 1985 & 1986 that we've seen back to back above normal snow years at Pocatello"
Pretty amazing considering the beginning of the season.

THREE DAYS TO GO TILL FRESH SNOW!
Damn!
remember, those are always HIGHLY OPTIMISTIC predictions.
we will likely get somewhere between 2-3ft total over the 7 day period.

Made a 57 mile ride / loop with my son and 2 nephews today. Made our way to Black Canyon and although tracked up, we found a few pockets of fun. They had to break out the shovels in the end.

Raise them YOUNG into the best sport in the world!
Still the highest one I've seen you post this year. The last 2 storms have delivered pretty well for us, hopefully this one does too!

Forecast still HOLDING...
The forecast just keeps getting better! Planning to be out there Fri/Sat...visibility should be interesting...
LOTS and LOTS of wind coming.
Yeah, closer to midweek would probably be smarter, but not sure if I can swing it with work. We shall see. The weatherman can't even get tomorrow right half the time, so we'll see how it changes this week and then make a call.
Snow maybe, wind never fails.
