Hahaha! I would have never thought that post by @Deck Pic would be a RR bat signal, but there ya go! But I guess it's like anything else, it's in the eye of the beholder what one sees! There's a Tom Lehrer song called "Smut", and one line goes "When correctly viewed...everything ls lewd!" -
Meh...DCA will only measure 17.8"!!

Wait...I thought one is supposed to sacrifice and give something up for Lent. Not engage in further "sin"!!! As for tequila, not normally a fan of it straight-up, generally prefer it in something like a margarita. Though I've had a couple several years ago that were remarkably smooth. Personally, I prefer a fine single malt Scotch. Straight-up, not on the rocks. <ScottishBastardVoice>Aye, Laddie! Get yerself a REAL drink, a nice dram, will ya!</ScottishBastardVoice> -

OK Kyrie, we have absolute definitive proof that the earth CANNOT be flat. Proven by none other than our feline friends millennia ago! -

Also, that's for...November! Can't be overly concerned about whether or not something can "work" in that pattern that early in the season. And it's like 8 months away, what's the point in hashing out details at this point? -

Very true...probably still enough left behind for his agents to "take care of!" -

Even though @WxWatcher007 is in retirement, I heard the Reaper still has his agents standing by the phones now to assist those in dire need... -

Yeah, I think after the epic-looking pattern disappeared about a week ago, we definitely needed the Beethoven with the tear! That pretty well crushed everything. -

LOL!!!! OK, c'mon now...I love Beethoven and he's still my favorite composer. Unfortunately, I was unable to find an image or a gif with him doing an eyeroll!! So I settled for the Austrian dude...but don't diss his music TOO much! (ETA: I await a lecture from @Maestrobjwa on the merits of Beethoven vs. Mozart and his harpsichord using ass!) -
The Panic Room is still going?? Even when things are already done? C'mon!!!

Mozart says...to that 46 day ensemble control snow map: -
Good points here, Bob. I'll say that despite wanting to be optimistic about the highly favorable "holy grail" looks that showed up for mid-February to mid-March is that once things got a bit more into range, there really were no storms popping up. I know one cannot take those silly snow maps at face value, but typically when we see an approaching good pattern, crazy stuff starts to appear on the horizon in the ops and ensembles. That happened maybe a couple of times, I think, but it was basically "blah" looking and even kind of warm. That's the other thing, I didn't see a consistent "trend" or whatever toward colder, at least near the surface. Despite some good 850-mb cold looks. I was thinking to myself several times how nice 850 looked but shook my head at the BL temps.
