All Activity

Lol. And the 1993 superstorm since 1994

Good point Of course they typically happen at 35 degrees. maybe 33 SLOP

That's my understanding. FAA requires airport observers to measure and report every 6 hours and then start over. All others pay cash.

~10" if you include the sleet but the depth ended up around 8 after compaction. I know technically that gets recorded as 10" but it feels cheap since the depth never got above around 8.

Even with 40 yesterday there was little melting. Too cold too long too much hard pack

@mappy Norrisvillle only reported a T. Not even Norrisville could slant stick my weak ass wave

Most of you all missed out on when EasternWx / AmWx had conferences. Amazing memories. The confrence threads are likely still around somewhere.

Although highly unlikely in any one winter, RDU’s largest concentration of 6”+ snowfalls since 1950 over any 6-7 day period isn’t til way out during the interval 2/26-3/3 with 5 of the 21 RDU storms. Also, 3 of the 16 GSO 6”+ storms since 1950 that weren’t also at RDU were during a portion of the same period.

You boyfriend won't be able to find his umbrella after leaving here lol. I'll throw down 500mg and smoke him out lol. That would be great. I'm available whenever until March.

Gfs no bowl of cherries

Taking the kids skiing this weekend...right now leaning towards Snowshoe. Has to be an Ikon pass resort and the New England options look too brutally cold this weekend for the little ones. And the PA options (blue and camelback) are too dangerous. BTW....sidebar... I know its probably because its so close to NYC and NJ but my god those pocono resorts....I won't go anymore... they don't even attempt to stop aggressive out of control dangerous skiers. One almost ran over my 7 year old going full speed straight down the slow skiing beginner run and when I yelled slow down gave me the finger and yelled F you...a ski patroller was 50 feet away and I went to him and he said "what do you want me to do"....how about your fucking job! They don't see to care. Maybe, unfortunately, someone needs to get seriously hurt and the mountain get sued...I know they have some liability protection but not if it can be proven they were guilty of neglect.

My Central NC daffodils started sprouting in this past December's late warm up They are still alive-about 5 inches Despite the cold ,ice, snow the last couple weeks I have several tulip sprouts this morning

Heaviest snow in some spots since December 1989.

Soil temps ahead of the warmup

cc @Torch Tiger 12z AIGFS isn't quite 1-3" anymore for 2/11

at the time you said that I was thinking..."one of these upcoming weak arse waves will probably get us at least an inch" but I was wrong it looks like. I just thought...no way we go 2 weeks this cold and don't get any snow at all but that looks likely now. You were right! Even going back before my time up here using the local coop data...looking at past 10+ day periods of consistent cold like this we always saw at least some days with minor snow accumulations... multiple days with like .5, .8, 1.1 things like that...I can't find a single stretch with below freezing temps like this and zero snowfall for 10 days.

A lot of confluence to our northeast next week so any system that tries to cut will have to redevelop off the coast. Could be sneaky active next week

Anyone know where to buy an actual metal grain shovel? Maybe grain shovel isn’t the right term - a flat shovel I can use for chopping ice and all. I have a pole that’s good for braking up ice but I’d love a real metal shovel to make it a bit easier. All I see is fiberglas nonsense.

Ya that brings the core overhead

The bar can be in the conference room.

Just looking at the 12z NAM, RGEM, and GFS....I think 0.5-1" of now over NE TN tonight is plausible.

Idk did you ? Today was the first day I programmed outdoor running in the gym workouts since early January and they didn’t complain.

You mentioned "it was the 24 hour method"? How are you measuring these days, do you clear the board ever 6 hours? It's the constant debate whether we should clear every 6 or 24 hours and in the last NWS guidance @NorthShoreWx and I have found the 6 hour method is out for hobbiests like ourselves.

Warmest departures to our north as has been the theme for a while

One addition.....Come on; this is AmWx.
