He really doesn't know what he's talking about lol he's legitimately a professional wish caster.

No, Snow Wiz is an amateur wishcaster. He is just a weather enthusiast, not a professional meteorologist.

Tyler Hamilton is a professional wishcaster.

You think you'll hit 75/3" for the day?

Called it!

No more since this morning, so 84.0 mm storm total it is.

Tyler Hamilton is a professional wishcaster.

How would you define a professional wishcaster? I don't believe any professional meteorologist wishcasts. Personally, I think Tyler Hamilton does a very good job at forecasting the PNW region.

He’s gotten better, but a few years ago he could be very wishcast-y in his snow forecasts (i.e. playing up the chances of it).

I don't frequent that forum anymore but I imagine Wiz will do his annual meltdown soon and take a hiatus.

Rains like this are precursors to a little snow n December.

Models trending drier. Small AR this weekend but most action to our South. Then ridging. Maybe a return to a rainy pattern in about 10 days but this looks like it could be a feast or famine year. Where we get several days of dry weather in a row, followed by an AR, back to several days of dry weather, then a quick deluge, rinse and repeat. If this happens this will be a disaster for the ski season. So let's hope it doesn't happen.

^^February 2015... that's one winter we all won't forget anytime soon.

1976-77 was similar with nearly no snow all the way up at the peak of Grouse at the same time of year.
