Next time I pod, I expect to have actual snow to talk about.
In the latest episode of The Flakes Podcast, @TahoeWeather and @WasatchSnow discuss the lack of snow and open terrain in the Western US, chasing snow in the Northeast, and more. https://opensnow.com/news/post/chasing-snow-in-the-northeast
Utah: Main Chute is open.
Also Utah: There is literally no snow on most of the mountains.
Indeed a strange start to the season.

A good early-season base made it possible to open Main Chute today. Not bad for week one.

(4/17/20) Heads up - East winds are making wind slab avalanches reactive in the central Wasatch. The forecast didn’t mention winds this morning but reports of wind slabs mean you can now likely trigger wind drifted slopes at the upper elevations. Pic: East Silver Fork 4/15 (fink)
As winds continue to decrease and our most recent Wasatch downslope windstorm ends, here are some answers and insights into the recent increase in downslope windstorms over the past 8 months.

New snow amounts are approaching a foot and new snow avalanches are being triggered as loose snow and as some soft slab avys. #utwx #utavy
#RoadUpdate 👋 Early morning travelers, light road snow in upper canyons & areas of patchy ice. A few light 🌨 continue through day, mostly in AM, with a dusting to 1" of road snow possible in mid/upper canyon. Plows are out in both canyons, travel with caution. #SR210 #SR190
