Yeah i just recently read through NWS' 14 page COOP snow measurement guidelines PDF. On the surface you wouldn't think that it's that complicated, but theres so many different variables and things to consider. I guarantee the average person who sends a public report thinks, "how can that be? you just stick a ruler in the ground after it snows and thats it" We have all these different programs with different standards with CoCoRaHs, CO-OP, Skywarn..etc. It would be nice if there was just one umbrella for everything I ran across this other program when looking at old PNS from the late 90s and early 00s that i can't figure out what it is. Something called SWIN observers? I tried searching but couldn't find anything. I was thinking maybe it was an acronym for SkyWarn Independent Network or something like that? Or it's something completely different that's obsolete.

Can’t convince me grey beard is some former poster that was run off and is back under a new username.

February 25-26 2010

I know everyone here just seems to have mood swings with each op model run but the look on the ensembles in late February doesn’t look bad to me at all. You have Canada filled with Arctic air, a -PNA and the seasonal warming in the south as we head toward March. The ingredients are there for interesting stuff IMO.

We’ve been saying this for quite sometime.

He’s become a poster of other folks output. A “Repost-err!.”

Exactly. Just because recent years have admittedly been hard for the majority of the sub they act like they are "owed" snow as if they don't get 4-8" while I sit under 40 degree rain 90% of the time historically. The hat man is a troll, shit may not even be from fucking DE. put his ass on ignore like ji and 50 others and move the fuck on.

Frozen main line even with the water dripping last night. Been a fun day. Apparently I've heard there's 1000s like us out there.

I might consider this secession and send in federal troops.

Yeah NAM is snowy . Kind of looks like that right before the big dog a few weeks ago that dropped 3-6 most places

That’s some funny S right there

Yes it will. Even a week of normal temps will feel very warm considering the last 3 weeks.

18z NAM is still aggressive. Prob advisory amounts for eastern SNE and up into CNE/NNE

Thank you for your service.

Yeah why denigrate a nice area because some rando ass lives there. Love Slower Lower DE. And recent winters have been pretty fruitful there. The 2 chases I did in Rehoboth were a blast, esp da Bomb Cyclone.

He's in Felton. That is NOT Southern Delaware. The Delaware hate on here gets extremely fucking old. Been going on for 20 fucking years. As if any other sate in the subforum doesn't produce shitty posters. Do I need to compile a list? Wouldn't take long...

Was this your window from a couple days ago?

If we're rating this winter I have two very different takes. From the meteorological/winter being cold angle this has been a solid B+ or A- considering its the longest I've seen snow OTG. We also have been brutally cold and had a really dynamic storm to kick off the stretch. Not to forget December also felt like a winter month again with some minor snowfalls! Really helped sell a solid three months of classic winter. One more major synoptic event and I think the winter hits solid A territory from a purely weather perspective. Now, from my personal perspective for why I enjoy winter... I cannot really but this above B tier. I think I lean B- or C+ because frankly this snow/sleet combination has sucked for all my usual winter activities. I can't go on my hikes, go out on drives to take pictures, or even move around college easily. Add onto that at college the only way to really get where I want to go (without relying on UVA's questionable bus service) is walking as the ice took my bike out of the picture and its been a somewhat miserable stretch of weather. A very unique and interesting experience but man I would kill for some 60 degree days and the ability to go on a hike or play tennis without dying on an ice rink! That said, I cannot rate it much lower than maybe C because it has delivered snow with some interesting events. I loved the December storms and our January artic squall. My hikes out to WV were great too and helped fill in the gaps but at this point I'm done with out snowcrete and looking forward to either a warmup or legitimate snowstorm. Additionally, how the Jan 25th storm shook out just sorta was a bummer and probably alters forever how I will interact with the hobby which is unfortunate but needed.

Started out as rain in NYC in morning, around 35-36 degrees too. Then started slushy snow/sleet mix around 1 PM, and light snow through evening. Moderate snow around 9 pm or so, then heavy snow all night and wind gusts to 40 mph all night. Solid 12-13” blizzard over here. Only time in my life I’ve seen a rain to snow storm produce so much. There have been a few early season rain to snow storm, but usually only a few slushy inches here. This one was moderate rain to an all out blizzard. Amazing

@csnavywx is there any point to tracking the next threat at all? Seems like even best case scenario is a rainer for the coastal plain...

I’d extend that to May 15th but no later.

Tread carefully, friends. Attitudes like this are why you had the Boxing Day storm I already disowned his ass, so please stop using him as a representative of the First State.

January 24-February 8, 2026 is on track to record a 16-day mean temperature below 20° in Central Park. The last time that happened was outside the life span of many AmWx members: January 11-26, 1982.

The storm after the storm potential is looking a bit better on the 12z EPS. Miller B-ish but further south. Not a strong signal at this point but a long way to go. Just something to keep an eye on, especially if next weekend fails.
