    Putting this in banter, but it's going to be very difficult if not impossible to see sensible, sustained improvements in American NWP for the next decade or so. The current Federal climate is extremely hostile to meteorology and earth science right now. Both operational and research efforts across the country are being gleefully decimated. Meanwhile, the Euro-AI is schooling us on a weekly basis. This is the end result of years of doing lots of little things consistently well across the pond.

    Falling at night with still reasonably cold ground. Oh man.
  3. Eskimo Joe
    RIP, regional power grid. This would be a legit disaster.

    I remember that. Was up in Lancaster for that event and the Euro blew chunks on that storm. The 00z Euro on 2/9/10 only had us around 0.5" QPF (I was the lead forecaster for campus weather service that night). Everyone rightfully saw that as a red flag for the event, but the UKMET, GFS, Canadian, and NAM were all in lock step. We ended up with 18" - 22" in Lancaster from that. The night before, the NWS had us at 6" - 12".

    Shame this is happening at the end of February during the day. Wish this could be an overnight storm.

    We are definitely in sun angle season. Even with the clouds and fog the mesonet sites are pushing a couple hundred watts of solar radiation.

    We have 11 other months of the year for rain. Maximize snow.
  9. Eskimo Joe
    Let's make it two more days so it's a clear #2.
  10. Eskimo Joe
    Always.

    I've only lost about two inches of my sleetcrete in the past two weeks. It's going to take a warm rain to bust this up.
  12. Eskimo Joe
    The 12z Euro would bring me to climo snowfall for the year. Yes please.

    I just don't want to hit 60° this month. It can start March 1st, but my Co-Op site is just 16 days away from having it's first winter in a decade with no 60°+ readings. This is a meaningless stat that only matters to me, but it's important to my sanity for some reason. Just give me this.

    Months of work to get a normal to below normal winter and we're could lose it in the last two weeks of winter.

    Are you referring to 2"+ liquid events in DJF? What airport are you looking for, just DCA< or BWI, DCA, and IAD?
  16. Eskimo Joe
    Ferry Cove & Easton mesonet sites: 51 mph Berlin mesonet site: 50 mph

    So many cool mesoscale features at play. I'm quite envious of y'all right now.
  18. Eskimo Joe
    Was hoping for a few 60mph+, wonder if we can get some better mixing during the solar maximum.

    M0.3" at my house. About a mile east of where you were.
  23. Eskimo Joe
    Yes. More snow. Lock in the cold. LFG.
  24. Eskimo Joe
    I'm going to net a half inch of snow out of this. Yes!
  25. Eskimo Joe
    Weak. Guidance consistently overdoes wind.
