Scarlet Pimpernel

Mmmmm. Too impulsive you were! Clouded your mind was!

The whiplash and cognitive dissonance is almost amusing. "NO, don't start a thread, it will jinx it!!!"..."When the hell are they going to issue a watch?!"

We're one tick from being in the gray Wish some people were one tick from being five-posted!

You can go all-out Panic Room meltdown, it might even scare the Reaper if that's possible!!

I seem to recall hearing that for whatever reason, the ICON only shows rain/snow for precip type and doesn't depict freezing or sleet. Maybe that's what's happening here, where some of that "rain" is actually ice.

Yes, agree. I haven't been too "big" on any real snow for Thu-Fri, really, though of course it would be nice if we can be on that side of the boundary. However, models have been honking what could be a prolific ice event around here during that time for a little while. Not something you normally see so consistently like this. As for snow, seems our better chances for that would be after Thu-Fri, when there are some indications the Arctic air will be pressing more and we'll perhaps be into deeper cold. Though that's gone back and forth out at this range of course. GFS for next weekend would be the weeniest chance of all, LOL!

This would be a nice follow-up after some ice Thu-Fri (quite cold, too)...

Hey Bob...is this sort of what you were looking for, at 850mb? This is one image at 12Z Thursday after we lose the 850s...winds were out of the southwest through that time. The 10 meter streamlines @Weather Will put up definitely show the CAD near the surface below this, and 2-m temperatures reflect that as well.

From a little earlier this morning. Simplicity of black and white works so well with snow!

Moderate snow, very large flakes right now. About 0.5", and some roads/paved areas are coated. Very pretty out the way the snow lines all the trees!

You'll personally bring them down??

It's all about the baro...the baro...the baro!

Yup, I hear ya! I used to be able to do those double-loops, corkscrews, etc. and loved it. Not anymore!! And the crazy coasters now are even more dramatic. All I can say is to those who can do that, more power to ya! But I'll just sit and watch and admire, thank you! Now, I will say, I do still like and can do the occasional "regular" or "traditional" coaster. I did a couple at Disney World a couple of years ago (Expedition Everest and Space Mountain, but just couldn't bring myself to do the Aerosmith Rock-and-Roller!)...but sudden drops of 1000 feet or upside down? Nahhhh, I'll pass now!

Stampede!!!

Nope, never done that. But honestly, last time I was there was probably like the late 1980s!

Agree! Haven't been back there in a lot of years, but have been there a few times long ago, in another dimension of time when I lived in Ohio! ETA: At my age now, not sure I'd much care for or be able to handle a lot of these roller coasters anymore!! LOL!!

Looks tasty, I have to say!!

I'm going to call this the cedar point storm because the Rollercoaster ride for this event has been off the chart Been to Cedar Point a few times years ago, fun place if you've ever been there. Grew up in northeast Ohio and it wasn't a far drive to go out to Sandusky. Great park, and yeah, the roller coaster capitol of the world LOL!!

But regardless, just make sure you slant-stick!

Maybe they'll cry out for help before melting. Horton Hears a Who?

Made me think of this book...

C'mon man, like Clark Griswold in "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation", you were secretly wishing for the lifetime membership in the Jelly of the Month Club!!

It does look that way, indeed. Can't take any one deterministic outlook at face value at this range (of course!). But there have been some wacky looking scenarios thrown out there starting about next Wednesday or so.

But it is true that some people's keyboard puke is better than other's!!
