SphincterGirl is a good friend of mine from work. (Yes, ‘friend’ is the correct term.) She also doubles as a climbing partner. She is a cool chick even though she is from SoCal. She is also one of the chief protagonists of the hut tour (coming up in 3 weeks), stay tuned.

She does not like to be called SG. So suggestions for alternate nicknames are welcome.

Schell Creek Range? Isn’t that like 350 miles away? Man, you guys are hardcore.

Four feet scheduled for Colorado this coming weekend, but I think it’s gonna miss the northern Front Range. So I might be required to roadtrip shortly as well.

ooo, ooo, ooo!

so it’s highly probably that the Schell Creek Range will have Ample snow by MLK day. any chance, fleeting or otherwise, that a hasty trip could be organized? perhaps all the fluffy stuff will be settled by then.

I am not getting much work done today - too busy looking out the window at the wave clouds and at forecast products. I feel like the chorus on Primus’ Sailing the Seas of Cheese… “here they come… here they come… here they come…”

check out this accumulated precip forecast from UCAR. I’m wondering if that’s the pineapple express lining up in the extended forecast, or an artifact of the model operating too far out from it’s initial conditions.

let’s just hope some of that 5 to 10 feet of predicted snowfall in the alpine stays put through the 80 to 140 mph winds also predicted.
