I’m in camp “I don’t give a shit what camp people are in and wish they would stop declaring that crap in the model thread”

Also, holy hell, but WELL DONE to everyone for so quickly and efficiently assuming their various weenie super-identities in the long range thread.

Glad you and the kiddo are ok, @mappy . Also, gold star parenting that she knew exactly the right expression to fit the moment.

Counterpoint - for those not in the highlands like you and those out west most of us need modeled big storms just to eek out a few inches…

My favorite sub-genre of posts in what is supposed to be the discussion threads are the “I would just be happy with an inch of snow and brisk cold winds” posts… you ain’t fooling no one, bargainer. You would be dying inside.

fringed? we are fringed after that excitement? booooo.

"that's all fine and well, General, but are you aware of the potential if a piece of the PV gets caught under the block?"

30/20 wet bulb 25

already 32/21 here at my roof in monkton.

didn't realize we are forecast tonite in the overnite to drop off to around 26 up this way. That's plenty cold for icing issues when rain arrives around 3 or 4.

So, a cold front and some snow as it passes. That is…pretty underwhelming if it goes down like that. I guess better than a toaster bath but still…

I’ve added that to my mythical family crest.

oh hey. the claw. swell.

it's an upper decker, as it were, alright

Also, my post was hopefully helpful in pointing to where non-meteo obs that are really panic attacks seeking re-assurance should go. Banter.

meh. Everyone should just shut down now and check back in on March 12 for the excitement over possibility of a snow on March 15 that will melt by mid-afternoon

Today looks like a real low point

I was jokingly making the same point / hard to get snow - I almost need to see three feet close by to hope for mood flakes.

Counterpoint- need ridic snow maps just to yield mood flakes in our area 9 times out of 10…

I wouldn't stress over the details, but I am just a rank amateur. Is there a strong block? Is there cold air available to go with the block? If there is, how will systems react to that? And how will models show those potential reactions? That's basically it, right, for now? So maybe people can take heart in seeing the long-awaited "OMG WHAT A PATTERN FOR A BLOCK" actually get to within 7 days and enjoy seeing how the models play with that in their runs. The idea that a strong block and waves would generate some good maps is not crazy. Sensible weather would likely result in a primary around KY/TN and then a jump to cash us in, but I am heartened to see the modeling starting to "see" the block and jump a system, even if its not gonna likely go from Chicago to the Carolinas. Probably screaming into the void, but...don't sweat that at range, maybe?

Someone moving in on Jay’s Wintry Mix business model…

All jokes aside, what matters is starting to see ways to win. If the block is as advertised, feels like rather than primary cutting to chicago and re-developing off the Carolinas that maybe a primary into KY and then a jump to the coast would start to show up on some of the modeling as within the envelope of solutions…

You with your facts and what not

At least Ji's heart is sorta in the right place. The lbud guy is just a craptacular troll.
