0.9” of snow last evening at MSP. 48.5” season to date

I do not remember that even though I was a senior in high school. What did he say about the storm? .

Down to 23-24 this morning.

Unpopular opinion: SPC was correct with the initial forecast. They should have trimmed the tornado risk back but not the wind. We were an hour of partly sunny skies away from having that second line get enough juice to wreck a lot of stuff. I worked this event. We rarely get calls in western portions of Montgomery County where it's very rural. Our 911 calls were coming in just minutes after that linenwas racing through, which is an indication to us that bad things are inbound. We got lucky it trended down towards the Potomac River over a largely unpopulated section of the county.

Solid A here. Near continual snow cover after Christmas, relentless cold, two big events and way above climo snowfall. If we can somehow squeeze in one more warning event to make Morch memorable I'll bump it to A+.

20 when I left the house and a T of snow last evening.

You love to see it. We have quite a few in Westfield

I'm not a big caffeine guy, but man.. extra sleep and it feels worse than nap hangover. Probably woke up in a different phase of sleep. I've heard of the headache when quitting caffeine. Have you had a chance to test the BP? Funny how some are effected by it. Me, if I wanted could pound a pot of coffee and fall asleep an hour later

That's cool you and your son are doing that. I've been wanting to build one for my dad so he can play stuff like Red Dead Redemption 2 since he's been interested in that. He hasn't really played much stuff in decades but he used to play stuff with me as a kid all the time growing up. It just sucks so hard that prices are out of control right now due to AI datacenters so ram sticks and soon nvme SSD prices are insane right now. I did tell him it's probably best to do it now rather than later

Quite coffee cold couple wks ago mainly as an experiment to see if I'm less anxious, lower bp. I'm a 2 cup per day drinker. Headache set in about 5 days after I stopped, everyday till this week. Been doing decaf for now Sent from my SM-S921U using Tapatalk

I feel like the emi raccoon should be working on my cellphone. That would be a great tool for radar image and velocity signature comparison.

We talk about weathers fraud 5... how about life's? Go to bed early so you can feel extra refreshed in the morning... and wake up feeling like shit. Seems to happen every time! Where's the caffeine!?

I learnfrom my vacation tech friend that many forced air systems are installed totally wrong. We spent a day adding returns, and a supply. Made all the difference... and so did removing any air intrusion into the basement and insulating rim joist are and walls above grade. Made a huge difference, and we see it in our gas/electric bills. I think mini splits are cool... but there's no way I'll have one of those indoor units on the walls of multiple rooms

23° useless expensive degrees.

@Jns2183 I should have mentioned that I don't have a computer or laptop at the moment. My son and I are building ourselves Pc's for gaming and editing as a father son project, but not for a few more weeks. While playing around with stuff last night I realized that don't have the capabilities to open those files, or use the tools you recommend at the moment.

Looks like Montague had a microburst

My night shift truck partner had a fear of God moment last night. She was north bound, empty, on 309, just about to the base of the Blue Mountain when all hell broke loose. Blinding rain and wind so strong that she thought our taker truck was going to lay over on its side. She parked and waited. After it passed, she managed to get up over the mountain, but she said it looked like a war zone with trees and wires down up the entire Lehigh County side. End result of that was a 16 hour closure of 309 going over the mountain for clean up and utility repairs.

28 degrees here

0z GFS has the goods! Fri into Sat, 3/27 into 3/28. Eye on the ball people lol

Here is what a typical El Nino Summer looks like in the 1948-2020 dataset

I had no idea it was supposed to snow tonight, but we just had a snow shower and now I see the forecast says it will snow some in the morning.

Crazy graphic posted by the NWS. A 60 degree day with over 6 inches of snow. Has never happened before.

March SSW's have not coincided with lagging -NAO's the last few times.

I see the potential but I just can't shake that this doesn't quite get to those levels. Now that things are starting to shine some light on the potential of at least an El Nino im happy to take my weak stance to a moderate level coming up here for the summer and fall with a chance to strong. Super is a stretch for now but also have to see how things progress past the spring barrier. I know I have shared this countless times in comparison and of course not all Nino's will form the same way but I can't help but notice that this setup is different in approach than the 23-24 season with westerly anomalies not as strong in the eastern Pac. I think this has role in maybe limiting the potential of how strong it can get and potentially placement as well but again plenty of time to watch things unfold. I only have what I have saved so forgive me when they dont show a similar time period. Also notice the lack of a full rotation like we saw in the 2023 example (upper image), maybe this is still to come?
