Hoco closed again tomorrow

Vort maps are the best depiction of upper level energy and how it progresses. Vorticity is where all the good stuff is born.

False. I don't mind winter. I hate what y'all are about to go through weeks of tundra and flurries. Enjoy it. You will never see me complaining about a double digit snow. You will see me complain about a storm that just occurred. 20 hours to get 5 inches when it took others 5 hours.

we are damn close - low 30s here. upper 20s DCA

Is there a reason you guys prefer 500mb vort maps over 500mb wind isotachs?

Anyone in GA unless on the border of SC/NC lol Atlanta misses out yet again… .

In the news

New WPC discussion is a fantastic read

Temp is 12 and our next round of snow has begun. Nice to hopefully add a few more inches to our tally. Wind chill this morning was as low as -28 so I am absolutely loving this deep winter. Now, if we can pull that weekend storm west, that would put the exclamation point on this beautiful stretch of winter.

I'm getting there

Haywood emc still has over 700 outages in Transylvania county.

I mean if nothing, it's a good emotional hedge. Either you make money or you get snow.

If I can get 2 inches from this, I'll be happy at this point. The Euro being a complete whiffer is a sadly decent chance to happen too.

I've always wondered if I will ever see a blizzard in my life that beats 1978 totals. With climate change it seems less likely but we've still had some massive storms the last couple of decades so I guess anything is possible. But it goes to show you just how rare and special that storm really was. 1996 came close but that was six months before I was born. 2005 was the biggest of my life and that was fun. 2013, 2015, and 2022 were amazing also.

Jan 2016 I can't remember if anything was showing a hit prior like it is not right now. All I remember is the NAM locked in on our area getting destroyed and slowly but surely everything else trended towards it.

This sounds like an easy way for old pro model watchers like us to print money on the backs of newbie apple weather app watchers placing long bets ten days out. They all be placing bets for the next storm of the century and we just have to open short positions for expiry four days before the progged storm.

Getting some stray flurries, 20F.

someone extrapolate the NAM

There really aren't huge differences between the EUro and GFS, wouldn't take much to trend towards a big storm or towards nothing: EURO GFS

Finally melted the core I took, 1.28"....

I'm trying to reel it in...And the latest run just lost it... JMA a no also.. I'm scrambling. Latest DGEX anybody...This is about the time there were big changes for Sundays storm.. If it doesn't happen by 0z, as Bob Prince used to say, "You can kiss it goodbye"

Just flurries

Jan 2016 is the best comparison 96 was a differnent animal as it dug in more with the trough and sucked up the GOA moisture too
