Well shit.   0.7 QPF???  Dafuq?? Seems better than 6z?

my point and click on pivotal went up about .20" QPF between 6z and 12z

One more south shift for I-95 peeps would get that gradient further away.  And that would be comforting.  4" is still gooder

It truly is model roulette man.  Now watch the RGEM bury us and the GFS  has rain to Erie.

I don’t know why either.  I woke up and things looked great at 6z.  I don’t get all the fuss and worry. 

Because of these silly snow maps.  All it takes is one run that shows a 86" hit and THATS what people hold onto for the entire time.  We could see a nice 3-4" snow from this but if the GFS-AIasapbbq shows 12 one time then thats what people expect.

QPF totals for each model IMBY

06z GFS .3   00z Euro AI .55   06z Euro .29   00z GEM .97   06z Icon .27   06z Ukie .39   06z NAM .08

Hoping those Canadians have the right idea 

Avg .30 or so across the models. 1” per tenth and it can be a nice little snow. More QPF the better tho. Go Maple syrup!!  Good for crafting

33.7/24 and sunny

Hear me out, and this may sound crazy.   I don't think my mom in NE South Carolina is going to get 24"

I think its 86" looking at QPF maps

Sharp cutoff with the maple syrup model.  It has moved SE so I will hope that it continues.

If it’s there at 12z, I’ll make you a moderator for 12 hours. If it’s not, you send me $5.  Deal? 

I want in on this. If it’s there for 12, 18, 0z I will never mention the best Superman movie ever again to troll you. If not I want $10

17.1° currently. Too lazy to check low temp

This storm is hilarious. Models have no clue. A magic 8 ball has better answers on if it will snow

day 7 storms and y'all still haven't learned.  Those gifs encapsulate everything.  There is no consistency in things that far out

yeah VDOT is pretty bad with snow.  That's one of the differences between living in a city vs county in VA.  In our city, the city was responsible for clearing snow (and did an OK job).  The county roads were always terrible lol.

Its the disparity thats the problem.  My cul de sac was plowed 5 times and its not anywhere near an important road.  Yet 1/2 mile away a neighborhood with hills was never touched.  The groups contracted to plow are just not efficient or doing their job.  I don't know if favoritism is playing a role but i suspect it is.  

ah the age ol gripe fest over schools.  All I know is that based off pics and what people have told me, VDOT has done a shitty job with this storm.  There are streets near me that are total ice.  Never plowed.  So while yours might have been not all have.  

I know there’s a lull right now with storms but can we knock off the trips down memory lane. Take it to banter.  Please
