HIPPYVALLEY

I’ve been below zero at least eight mornings this winter.

I just did the pot of boiling water into the air trick for my wife and teenager. I could tell they were somewhat impressed, but also annoyed by my enthusiasm.

-9° in my yard.

Something different from what the models are showing right now is going to happen for sure. I’m not convinced it will be big for us, but they are definitely going to be some surprises over the next 48 hours.

Verbatim, would get some accumulating snow pretty far west.

Thanks, just spit my beverage all over the keyboard.

Bring it on, if we can stay a bit BN with Feb temps, overrunning events will rock the interior.

I measured at 4-5 hour intervals and came up with a very conservative 16" in Greenfield.

The whole evolution is weird and we won't really have better sampling until at least tomorrow night. The GFS still has the energy diving down, trying to snort a line off a bar in Miami and then blow a low up off the Georgia coast.

Yes, I would take some refresher inches. Unless this can pull dramatically further NW as a dynamic system we might be better off with an occluded storm but an expanded precipitation field out this way. Get a 2"- 4" over 10 hours type deal.

Yeah, I'll have to look back, it was probably closer to 6" but still a maddening disappointment relative to forecasts.

The best part of the Boxing Day storm was Ryan having a Scooter worthy melt.

Oh good, let me lock in my 4" of baking powder now.

Quite a cold snap. We won’t get as impressive pond ice with the amount of snow that’s insulating the top but still should be adding on another inch or two of ice over the next few weeks.

We need good trends moving forward, and I wouldn’t buy or sell anything until at least 36 hours from now.
