ROOSTA

Just arrived back home after a stop in GA. Probably a perfect trip. The Eclipse was out-of-this-world. It took about a minute and realized...start taking pictures, IDIOT! Ended up with only 5 or 6 and only (1) good close-up. Etched in a memory for a lifetime.

Not a cloud in the sky throughout the event, not even a wisp of cirrus.Snapped a few pics. Truly spectacular. To pick a location on Friday night and play out as it did, I'm shocked. Might have been the best place to observe the event outside of New England

A Total Solar Eclipse is A MUST SEE! Not 99%, need to get into center of 100% totality. Experienced the one in '17 so for seven years I've been waiting for this one. Leaving tonight and driving to AR., MO., IL., IN. Should be enough time to chase clear skies in a 200-mile area starting at sunrise. It doesn't look good presently. I put 0% confidence in a Cld Cvr prediction. Looking at 700MB humidity combined with surface Td... OUCH.

Any snow is good snow. I'm pleased to see many cashing in, many more disappointed, bummer. Oh, what could (should) have been. How many times must I learn to start conservative, setting the amount and effects to high and then only to pull back? In the Winter of little still nice to track.

For a majority of posters in the Forum this is a hobby! THANK THE GOOD LORD!!! NEXT.....

The obligatory map. I'm all mapped out. There are to many maps, they all show the same thing! Should be a separate thread just for maps. Still going with an overachiever.

Devils in the details. Goalposts have shifted. I get it, happens every single snow event. Oh, my goodness which model is "less wrong" and choose your poison. Think about the trends and bias of each. Stick to your guns, there should be no emotional invest, no control just go with the trend and blend. Yea, TREND AND BLEND A killer CCB FTW

Looking good.

Just look up CIPS.

First things first. FOOTBALL It's annoying and often forgotten how bad the IMBY posts seem to overwelm the "good" posts. To those watch the game, come back and maybe by 00z things will have changed.

These many models depicting a good snow dump 8-12 inches can't be all wrong. A strong signal. The usual BL issues can't be known until nowcasting. A deepening system with an almost perfect track. Go with the gut feeling, mine is telling of an overachiever. --------------- Oh, I'm sitting at 82F with a dew of 68F.

So you say there's a chance? This looks pretty accurate! ******50%*******

Yes. My bad not ID'ing

MESO's coming in juiced. SW PA 12-18" end of the 12z run. I know...out-of-range. Just something to watch...

Just sitting back relaxing. Doesn't get any better, tracking a storm, Super-duper Superbowl Sunday! Soundings with QPF., blend 'em. you'll get a reasonable amount to forecast for a given location. Max SF amounts creeping up. Sometimes these events are over analyzed. In the forum it should be. A good handle on what is going to transpire. IT GONNA SNOW...BOMBS AWAY.
