Well, that came out of nowhere.   Unfortunately, not sure it's believable with all the shit flying around on every model with each different run.

lol. 989 off the VA capes.  

Hour 100 or 240?

BrooklynWX: "There will be highly amplified shortwaves rolling S off of the western ridging that will be able to phase with cutoff lows and other pieces of energy from the southern stream. This is accomplished by the W ridging being a bit more poleward than usual: it allows for significant cross-polar flow, but it also keeps the STJ open. This is often how we get our largest storms.

There is also an immense cold supply here, as our air will be sourced from Siberia. Hints of transient -NAO blocking have also been showing up on the OP runs, and there's some on the ENS means as well. Transient blocks are really all you need when it comes to large storms, as we've seen in the past.

Overall, this is just a loaded pattern and I would honestly be quite surprised if there isn't a MECS (or two!) between the 15th and the end of the month. "

Precip being delayed even more on the NAM’s. Delayed probably will mean denied on this threat

Hopefully it doesn't delay the school closing announcement

Storm of the century?  

I'd feel better about it if was hour 300

Every model that has run so far has ice in our area Sunday morning. Timing could make things dicey for a bit.

Schools have already closed for next week

They just announced schools are closed here tomorrow in Jefferson County, WV. I've never seen such an early call for a possible couple of inches. 

"Living" has become zero risk for many

.2 of frozen fluff would be basically better than the entirety of 20-21 winter for MBY, so I'll be happy.

Agreed.. looking out the window at midnight and not seeing the light snow falling is a win compared to last year

Dude that's all the way at the 22nd...why post even pay attention to that? Lol

Because regardless of date, its the most ridiculous model solution I've ever seen and thought it was hilarious?

LOL! can't make this up

Taking this to banter, but can anyone explain or justify this man’s maps? Why are they habitually very bullish and (perhaps more importantly) why does his constituency not skewer him for constantly busting? Maybe it’s just MBY, but I usually see 2” less than is on these things. I just don’t get it. 

That storm really was fast.. when did it end?

Here's the map on pivotal 

Considering it's already 40 degrees at 9am that doesn't seem unrealistic

This is actually true. Many roads are still not plowed and walkways are treacherous. My husband took a picture of the driveway leading into one of our elementary schools and it was a thick sheet of ice.  I’m sure we will be closed on Friday too. It looks like a couple of inches is at good bet.  Regarding Covid numbers, I appreciate Mother Nature giving us a reason to stay home the week after everyone has been traveling. 

Don't forget about the UV index.. we don't want Oliver getting a sunburn

Better be cold smoke

Very very good stuff and I agree with all of it except the “overreaction” characterization.  Don’t start in on me and you won’t hear a peep in response.

I mailed  this last storm well in advance and that really irritates some because, as you stated perfectly, my analysis methods involved decades of record keeping diaries from the 60s into 80’s before models were readily available. It has served me well and kept me engaged with many weather services businesses outside of this board.  So a piss ass pot shot taker .will be responded   to by me .  Or his jollies can be sought  elsewhere and not at my expense nor thus boards expense unless you all enjoy this shit. 

So I will simply be a continued non tradition forecaster and enjoy it until the barbs fly again. I won’t slink off to the “ignore ” Like I’ve said, the ball is in a court that’s not mine. I fully desire amicable exchange of information and opinion. I don’t find juvenile jerk “fun making” of any use here . 

 

Howard, what you quoted from me about the moon angle had nothing to do with you in the slightest.. I can't help that you appear to be so insecure you think every joke is cracked at your expense. 

If I'm important enough to you to go on long, rambling posts about me instead of pressing the ignore button, so be it. I know this weather forum is serious business with life or death consequences, but believe it or not a lot of people have fun reading a joke or making fun of each other on occasion.. If not, Randy is welcome to boot me if he wants..

Discerning minds, which yours  isn’t,  have discussed for years the idea of full and no moon having proven effects on tides and the possible effects on atmospheric storm systems   The “amplification” aspects are scientific in nature.  Otherwise you can shove your snotty ass derision up your simpleton ass as you try and make fun of a forecaster who is Way Better than your limp dick  wishy  washy ass. 

Spicy!! I like it..

Unfortunately you're confusing me with someone who cares about your nonsense posts.. I was making a joke - sun angle vs moon angle given this is happening at night.

Don't forget to take your Geritol!

Moon angle isn't ideal.. too bad I'll be asleep for this one.

It's fine.  Expectations.  1 to 3.  Even if you don't like it, accept it, sleep on it and tomorrow you'll wake up giddy that you're gonna see snow!

bah.. unfortunately it will be dark and I'lll be asleep

Did school systems not just invest hundreds of millions in tax money to support virtual learning? Why is that not being used in these situations? I don't get it..
