Things to work into posts I’ve decided…-
kiddo
bucco
friendo
”stop fantasizing about a SSW, bucco, it ain’t your savior”
”hey kiddo, rates not good enough to overcome midday sun angle”
”ok friendo, this ain’t 1993 and that isn’t a superstorm”
12/7/23: T (maybe a T on 12/6/23 too but I was not home to see it/verify it)
12.11.23: .8"
1/6/24: T (two hours of winter storm watch - yay! - rapidly converted to winter weather advisory - still ok... - then -- a little sleet and snow and a LOT of rain...sigh)
1/14/24 - T
1/15/24 (a little into the early AM on 1/16 too) - 4"
1/19/24 - 3"
2/13/24 - .7" I guess - slushy hard to measure
Season total - 8.5"
Gonna be pretty - probably won’t accumulate much on roads around me in Monkton.
Raised surfaces have a slushy quarter inch. Got to walk the dogs on the ncr trail in the falling snow - that was a win…
I usually mentally toss the HRRRRRRRRR in the trash but, clearly, it is 100% accurate.
I will be taking no questions at this time re: my previous position on the HRRRRRRRRR. Thank you.
Saw a Talking Heads cover band (Psycho Killers) at Union Craft and they were absolute fire. So damn good. If you ever get a chance to see them, grab it. Skilled jam band too. Unreal set and evening.
WTAF - second time in two weeks I have pulled small, very live, very hopeful tick off my person. It is early effin' February. This is a terrible sign for the spring. Not been near cold enough to help even a little with cutting back on insects.
I mean...it is pretty clear that all the other guidance made a major move to the GFS. Obviously them meeting in the middle even now wouldn't be great, but I don't see any reason to think this thing has no chance based on the 12z suite, looks to me like a good argument to be made that the GFS is leading the way.
Right? It's five days away - given where we were 24 hours ago when everyone was dunking on the idea of the event/thread (and, with reason, really) - this is a delightful turn of events - been like 18 hours of being able to hope a little - and given that we are in a fallow tracking period - that's a fookin' great thing.
On balance, it is a TON more fun to have one of the majors doing this five days from an event even if it is on an island - just fun to dream a bit - especially given that this is still the period before THE PERIOD OF INTEREST.
