18-22 August 2013

Ok, a touch late, but there’s obviously another very similar series of fronts passing through over this interval, for perhaps 40 cm total gain — which would neatly take us up to our season peak prediction…

[I see the ECMWF sampler is off-line.  I hope they haven’t finally noticed they’ve been providing it for free and turned it off.]

Update (22/8):  Both Spag and ECMWF are back up; joy.  And, err, and 169.9 cm measured on Tuesday … what a delightful round number (hands off that data Tony).  Unfortunately today’s reading will likely mess it up.

Outcome:  More like 60 cm than 40, but the Hydro neatly saved the day by measuring Tuesday and avoiding the Thursday fall.  Score: 7/10

    Noted that your deep creek graph has not moved much in the latest reading. Think while Spencer Creek may reach close to an average top base for a season both deep creek and 3 mile dam may be much below average, these readings are largely forgotten by the skiing public

    Deep Creek only updated last night, while Spencers was measured Tuesday for some reason (I’m taking it — right on my peak prediction). But you’re right. Spencers is actually above average now, while the two lower altitude records languish. Still, however you look at it, it’s been a good three weeks.
