Rip! And Storm Field was a really good weatherman and personality.

It was *never* going to be anywhere close to "cheap" to hedge, at any point. You're fighting not only physics, but politics and human nature. It would require not only taking a huge hit to our prosperity - but convincing all the other countries in the world to take that same hit. Good luck with that. I don't think you understand just *how* much of our prosperity is based on the foundation of fossil fuel use. It's literally been the basis for the industrial revolution. The big inflection point was 150 years ago - not 20 years ago. But if we somehow had managed to avoid that inflection point - we wouldn't have anything close to the prosperity we do today. We perhaps had a smidgen of a chance decades ago, with the advent of nuclear power. But then the clueless anti-nuke lobby, led by the likes of Ralph Nader, ensured that wasn't going to happen*. Even still that would have only gotten us so far; even with all-nuclear electricity we still would have other fossil fuel uses in transportation and industry to deal with. (*Edit: In his defense - he didn't know about MMGW back then. He might have a difference stance today if so. Nevertheless - he and others like him were responsible for the extreme over-reactive risk aversion that killed nuclear.)

By by early buds. Temp down to 32 degrees already.

Son of a bi... Not only did I screwed again up here in Northern MD with no snow but I got screwed with the contest too. Lol.

Yes. I will do so.

Because it’s not a winter month down there

Not really but I think it’s supposed to be funny

I miss the days of sand, salt is terrible for the vehicles but more effective in treating the roads

Gotta make sure they use it all to prevent those budget cuts

This was around 9am this morning at 2600 feet at my cousin's house. It snowed pretty hard here but didn't stick. It was 33 here, probably 30 or 31 up there.

Winnipeg

It is a joke. There is literally no way considering I was around that area this afternoon and everything, non-pavement, was covered.

N.IL snow totals

DPW crapped on all the main roads with salt here. What a nasty stupid waste

I had felt like i had a stroke reading this. Costalwx figured it out though, went over my head

78mph wind gust in Fort Collins

light coating so far. doubt we get much more than a quarter inch

Amen brother .

Question is how much further north this thing can trend, because we may not be done yet…

Yeah but wasn't it being modeled much closer earlier in the week? Better timing snd it coulda gotten up here...but I guess I define miss a little differently (like Dec 2018...technically not our region but it was a miss south to NC, and SoVa got some of it, I think).

It had big potential with the cold air. March has sucked for years.

A common theme in our Climo in spring is for heavy snow events to our north with pretty nuisance 1-3” backside defo hits. As I alluded to how we’ll end up with normal totals a week ago. That’s essentially what’s on the table and has been. Euro runs were always a bit of an outlier but it looks like it’s falling in line. Let’s hope we’re still not doing this in May.

Lake response looks impressive. I think we can manage at least a Wind Advisory/WWA Advisory combo in N IN/SW MI. Maybe a WSW if things go well.

who’s denying the north trend?
