Pineapple express

DOD, you're cleared ... looks like the train of storms coming through your area and mine (and heading on east) are zooming toward us from the north Pacific islands. So no culpability lol.

The screenshot here shows Flagstaff inside the yellow circle looking into the eyes of a stampeding weather system heading our way (indicated by arrow, which was the direction of the precipitation when I took this screenshot).

This is second in a series of three substantial snow-makers. The first was predicted to lay 12 inches on the ground, but we ended up with 6, although it was a very heavy, moisture-laded content. Not the usual fluff.

Tonight's may mimic the first, perhaps add a few more inches. Then on Wednesday night and Thursday the mama goose is supposed to fly in. We're all hoping for a day or two of class (and work) cancellations! If not, then it surely succeeded in giving all of us here in the high country something to talk about!
