  1. Looks like temps on Thursday will be well into the 60s, possibly 70 in a few places. Spring feva.
  2. Good to hear! Enjoy. Currently drinking a 90 min IPA in a frosted mug.
  3. He doesn't approve because it actually exists lol. Just think, we all could have been on the verge of saving our winter had it not been for the fucking jinx.
  4. Some hopium in the LR on the 12z GEFS. As mentioned in a previous post, a weak signal for frozen next Friday-Saturday period, then a somewhat stronger signal around the 24th-25th for something. The advertised pattern on the GEFS looks like it may be going places. EPS and CMC ens look somewhat different at h5, but still a notably colder look for the east the end of the month. Time will tell; we just can't know yet.
  5. Love me some drought from now until early April, since it can't snow. Might keep the seasonal wetland on the dry side, thus I won't have to put the knee boots on and trudge around in the muck seeding it with larvicide($200 dolla).
  6. One thing of note- the weeklies initialized off the 0z run, which had a more promising look at the end in the HL and hinted at a -NAO developing. The 12z run today took a step back, looking like more of the same rather than some sort of a meaningful pattern change getting underway. Not sure I would put much faith in this edition of the weeklies. Need to see more persistent hints of a favorable shift in the pattern towards the end of the month over the next few ensemble model cycles.
  7. There is a pretty strong signal on the ensembles for yet another storm cutting NW for the 16- 17th. Just beyond that there may be the possibility for a wave along the boundary around the 18th or so with colder air in its wake. Something to keep an eye on as we try again lol.
  8. Always fun when randos from other subs pop in here to tell us all how things are.
  9. It was 60 today and I didn't hate it at all. Really tired of moderately chilly and dry, followed by mild rain though.
  10. The terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but that doesn't make it technically correct.
  11. They aren't necessarily the same. A cutoff low is completely separated from the general westerly flow. A cutoff will tend to stall/meander around for a period of time in a particular region. This particular situation is not that.
  12. Winter is coming. Delayed but not denied. March is our time.
  13. Quality trolling. Wonder where she gets that from.
  14. Don't blame the creation of this thread for the apparent death of this wretched 'threat'. Was on life support the instant it showed up on guidance.
  15. It's fun to track this because there isn't anything else, but it has always looked like an inland/at elevation deal for snow imo.
  16. 0z EPS has a better h5 look at the end of the run. The big blob of +heights south of the Aleutians weakens and the ridge axis shifts eastward, with a broader trough over the central US.
  17. Probably more likely to shift the other way given the progressive nature of the flow and the ridge behind.
  18. Agreed. The depiction of the actual mean I think is probably close to the best outcome in this case. It would get good precip into the favored areas for frozen. The scenarios that keep the better precip more southeastward or have a weaker system overall would likely just produce rain/slop.
  19. The 0z EPS offers the most workable scenario for snow in our general region. The evolution and track would place significant precip in the higher terrain where it could actually snow given the lack of cold. Verbatim the mean is not bad for the NW burbs either, but again, those temps. This has always been a very low probability period for frozen in the lowlands.
  20. Nah. Still locked in the perpetual 'we completely suck for snow' portion.
  21. Ends as light rain on WB. TT ptype is awful for a snow weenie lol.
