0z AI north for next week 18z vs 0z

should be a min number of posts before you can dole those out.

The 30-0 run against Illinois was probably the best UConn men’s basketball I’ve ever seen.

EURO AI good. Dunno if I’ll make it to the normal one. Stormtracker is on his own

Euro has it- 12z looked pretty damn good. 18z weaker and a bit too far south.

CMC / GFS seeing something the euro isn’t? Ooooor How far out is this thing?

Models are pretty dry moving forward for the Northeast.

0z GEFS a bit drier but fine.

I'd give them their gold back for this

Yeah, that's why you gotta stay close when I do pbp. Looking at SV maps is like looking at a child's coloring book

Its a thread the needle deal for sure, but as advertised the timing of that digging NS vorticity is such that there is surface HP in a favorable position, and just enough energy sliding underneath for potentially a moderate storm. Not buying the idea of 10", but 3-6 seems achievable.

CMC similar. Models are pretty locked in this far out.

The problem is that pesky clipper is trending stronger on sunday which of course suppresses the main wave. We need that clipper to die. Still time but not great trends as of now.

Stone fruit killer.

The trends are't good but still 4+ days away.

That’s my worry with this storm. It’s relying so much on so little energy getting amplified by a NS wave playing nice.

Solid coating from the squall to whiten things up.

CMC did go south compared to the 12z run though. It keeps the significant snow down in southern Jersey and brushes us with 1 to 2 inches up here. Still a long way to go with this one though. We have a shot. At least we know it will be plenty cold for accumulating snow Monday, but hopefully it won't get pushed too far south.

Who the fuck is wspresto? Adds nothing of value but loves to dole out the weenies. Worthless.

The self-listing of accolades under the Youtube bio tells the whole story by the way, those 4 "TED Talks" are a subset called TedX talks. Basically anyone can apply for one of those so long as they have an interesting story, no accolades or anything required. Someone could probably do one on the ups and downs of being on this board lmao

CMCs a pretty big hit. Foot plus jack showing up east of DC on Kuchera

I think that a lot of people are still sore over the fact that they had the rug pulled on them at the last minute and they can't accept the outcome. I get it...it sucks and I would've been disappointed too if I missed out on a 1978 redux. But trying to invalidate the official measurements just to make yourself feel like you didn't miss out on it is not the solution either.

Keep in mind also that even the day after the storm we had a lot of direct sun and it was also very warm. It nearly cracked 40 degrees around here! So you have to take into account not only natural compaction but also the relatively warm temperatures and bright sunshine the next day. Is it possible that some people measured drifts and/or old snow? Of course. But I feel like the people who do the official measurements at TF Green know how to avoid those issues? Considering the fact that their measurements affect the official records you would think that they know what they're doing. For what's its worth, I measured a relatively flat area on my sidewalks with no drifts and no old snow and it was 31", and I wasn't even in the area of the absolute heaviest snow! That was from like Providence to the Fall River area. So I could see people getting around 36" since they were in that band of very heavy snow for longer than me.

I must say this was an off run anyway - def a lot less put together of a storm. Little precarious
