Wow. The high moved 100+ mph from Indiana to Lake Ontario, water boy 

Wow it did. And the barometer says your posts suck

That is a near perfect location. Who was dummy posting earlier about high being over Indiana?

This was the surface analysis from 3 hours ago.  When I made that post.  So go eat a fat one, gramps.

I mean I guess for a 5yr old those kind of things are important but my goodness the meltdown over it lol

But it’s a clip!!!!  The importance of a clip cannot be understood 

Not that it means anYthing or to get hopes up but the HP that was supposed to be up in NY by now is still out west over Indiana. 

Just sayin

Radar looks meh

41.2/27. That will be a cold rain

42.5. One full degree since I got home 20 min ago. I’m so stoked!!!!

ask Dave.  I had white rain all day and anyone above 250' ASL got 5".   I'm shaking my fists as i think of it now.  How did I type this with fists of rage?

this is about 99% all the time. northern/western folks get the snow, while everyone else gives them **** for it. and then we have Jan 2016 where we all cashed in and we were all lovey with rainbows and unicorns. 

mention Dec 5th 2009 and I will cut you.

Jan 2016 was like the Skins 2012 season where RG3 was magical and life was like a bed of puppies and kittens

When the CMC can't even show much snow you know its an omen.

sorry to hear of your mom's passing.  May she rest in peace.

Hey at least Louisiana and Arkansas got some snow

They always luck out.  they don't have to deal with the warm Atlantic ocean like we do.  They are too far south for that.

Nothing makes sense anymore. 

Need to consult the magic 8 ball. It knows.

I worry because there are things to worry about.  Like will it be cold enough for frozen, will Tom Wilson manage to not get suspended again, will the Skins lay an egg Sunday, what do I bring for a pot luck lunch at work tomorrow.  These are all pressing matters.

We were oh so close though. Little better cooperation at 500 mbs and we would have probably seen our snowstorm especially in the burbs.

500 and the HP up north.  A sliding high over NE that gets to Maine won't cut it in Nov.  If it got stuck in NY/Canada then I'd trust the colder model runs.  But getting east of us lets too much Atl air in upstairs which is not so good for I95 dwellers

This storm will make or break a lot of people for this winter.  A Nov storm.

The pollution of snow maps that just show too much white stuff gets everyone going to the higher sides of possible amounts.  Its Nov.  Its anomalous cold air that even gets us the chance of that.  Highs in the low 30s in mid Nov isn't common.  Its still about climo and that more help is needed to get really good snows in Nov.  Some pingers and mangled fatties will be a win for me.  Its a good storm for atmospheric memory for DJF

Overall, I’d say a step back but the positives are quicker precip and cooler 850s at onset.  Precip starts in DC by 12z (0.1” already fallen by 12z in DC in the 18z run vs the 0.1” line SW of Manass at 12z run)..  850s slightly colder at the start.  Surface starts a touch colder in places but its a warmer run at the surface overall than 12z.  Looking at the verbatim 10:1 snowfall maps, definitely cut back...2.5” runs through DC vs 4.5” at 12z.  

Euro temps have always been a lot more spot on for MBY than most others so warmer isn’t better for me
