We are just too south of this little band so far. Had dippin dots in the am. Better stuff now but it struggles to accumulate. 8 hours of snow in one form or another, and we have just under an inch.

The "sufficiency" of the rate is related to the ground temp. If you want a reduction to the absurd, go stick a griddle outside.

Yes, of course the antecedent temperatures matter, and the snow rate matter. It is a variable. It's not a switch. I'm just saying their casually applying it with a broad stroke is as silly as claiming the phenomenon doesn't exist.

How could it be a myth? It's basic physics. We have liminal temps, it didn't get below freezing until recently, and when I laser temp a surface it's well above freezing. There's no snow accumulating on anything that retains heat. Yes, snow falling at decent rates would overwhelm that, but that makes a significant difference, since we don't have remarkable rates even in the bands right now, and it's a long duration low intensity event with lots of breaks for melting. There is a large break between this batch and any further sustained snow tonight. Road conditions would be more of a concern if antecedent temperatures were cold. Would they magically melt poundage? No, of course not.

From biking up the east bay bike path in a t-shirt to cross country skiing the next day? I'd love it.

Stealing mid Atlantic snow.

No.

Some of the models show modest snow but over a long period of time, with some down time in between. That would tend to make actual effects fairly minimal impact. Like, I could see getting 3 inches of snow but never really having much of anything on the road. Plus there's no commute. I can see them expanding wwa west just a bit for that last pulse, esp given timing.

Yes. Though it went from some snow showers to maybe a wwa confined to the south east, which is kindof already within the envelope of plausible.

I wondered why I didn't remember this event. Look at that. 2.5 in a 6-12, and people have the temerity to bitch about a foot.

Yes, that too.

See now this is actually irony, people... Calling someone autistic for making fun of the blind.

My kid has been out of daycare so much due to positive cases , and it has been so disruptive, that I'm feeling like if there's a storm its a win, and if there isn't it's a win too.

No, I don't think. You can't casually foretell irony. That's rather the point of irony.

Newark wasn't available.

Snow doesn't want to live there. It just can't afford to live elsewhere.

Sometimes the farts are liquid.

The gfs is still trending better. The depiction is still an odd strung out scraper without much organization, but any more trending and it's something of significance for the SE and it's already something for the cape. No support from the euro.

There isn't a storm of any relevance, except on some models. The only reason you have introduced the narrative of "the storm" and instantiated it is because of your reading of these models. Irony. It would be more accurate to say, "Let's confirm, yet again, how awful humans are with probabilistic thinking." Still, its something to hold our desperate interest for at least a couple days. Unless lest we continue bickering about who had to walk uphill both ways further in LESS snow than the other guy." Ok, that's wordy, but its a jumping off point.

It's definitely trending better, but good lord I'm picking through the trash looking at this.

Freezing rain coming down nicely. Encasing.

My snow is gone, grass everywhere. Snow up north. Are we sure they didn't steal my snow?

A for me. The past three winters have left me with similar snowfall totals on the season as I got in one day. The rest of the winter has been pure unadulterated garbage. 3.5 inches. But I'll take the highlight. 9 hours of blizzard and record snowfall makes it all worth it. The radar I screenshotted is like a negative of every radar I've seen in every storm for a decade.

We had the snow eating fog today. It was fun while it lasted!

I don't know, I didn't glance up, because that area is just used for canoeing?
