    So this is like a folks(!!!) then!! Very low-key! At any rate, that was an interesting development and progression on the GFS. Looked like a wave forming along a front that passes through, perhaps similar to what happened in March 2015, sort of?

    What was the famous "snowplow game" where the grounds crew came out during a snowstorm and plowed the field that allowed the game-winning field goal? New England vs. ??? I think? Can't recall details offhand but it caused a controversy.

    Oh my, that's like a blatant @ravensrule bat signal right there!!!

    Actually in all fairness, that's not really true. We had a cold clipper go through in early January 2010, before a bit of a thaw over the following couple of weeks. But even before that was over, indications were pretty clear we were heading back to a cold/blocky pattern.

    It'll be enough of a disaster as it stands now, no matter the weather! (skating the political line there, I know!). But on a weather-related note for the medium range, one does have to like how the overall setup looks as advertised right now. No, we may not get the first wave (is that the one near the 20th?), but after that...looks like possibilities are good!

    Wow...that's a beautiful scene and shot, Bob!! Love the transition from the blue sky, to the whiteish-gray snow/ice, to the green more in the foreground! And yeah, I see that hawk! Hope you score some good snow from this event.

    Yup...that kind of reminds me of an event in Feb. 2015. It was extremely cold that whole month, there was an event around mid-month that everyone "assumed" would be high ratio fluff (so lots of excitement). But it wasn't. The growth rates and growth zone weren't ideal. We still got a solid amount to be sure, but it was more like thin ice crystals or pixie dust, not the huge flakes like we saw last night.

    Actually, in all seriousness, I don't even know what method is used to compute the Kuchera ratios. Maybe it's good in some situations, but I've heard so many mixed things about it. Seems almost better to show 10:1 and go from there, fudge as needed.
  10. Scarlet Pimpernel
    Can't hate that, really! Though I though the use of Kuchera ratios was perhaps not the best. Still, that is a nice advisory-level event in these parts (warning level in some others).
  11. Scarlet Pimpernel
    Damn. Was hoping you'd be at the bar drinking complimentary tequila shots again, while doing the PBP!
  12. Scarlet Pimpernel
    Thank you...so kind! I actually really like that one as well. As I said, black and white just works so well with snow scenes many times!
  13. Scarlet Pimpernel
    Eats, shoots, and leaves... Eats shoots, and leaves... Eats shoots and leaves!
  14. Scarlet Pimpernel
    And...one more (file sizes required multiple posts)...

    Photos (continued)...
  16. Scarlet Pimpernel
    Photos from today's snow (a couple are black and white...snow just facilitates itself to good B&W shots!)
  17. Scarlet Pimpernel
    Always good to hear from you, Bob! I hope the new digs are working out well...those photos you've sent over the past few months are amazing! Agree...another winter weather event is likely going to affect us this upcoming weekend. Details, as you say, TBD (as always!). I feel reasonably confident or at least hopeful that a decent event for many of us is a good possibility. Doesn't even have to be a bomb, really.
  18. Scarlet Pimpernel
    Rippin' pretty good out here now, nice flakes. They may even be chunky (that's for you @diatae!! ). Just measured, now up to 6.5".
  19. Scarlet Pimpernel
    So...Papal approval then!
  20. Scarlet Pimpernel
    Actually I wonder that too. I know it stands for "Historic East Coast Snowstorm", but how is that defined? I guess something that would make the Kocin-Uccellini list, perhaps.
  21. Scarlet Pimpernel
    And I take it JAWS would be a HECS...however one defines that (> 12", I'd guess, in that ballpark).
  22. Scarlet Pimpernel
    It's still a solid pants tent level event for this area!!
  23. Scarlet Pimpernel
    Yeah definitely. Like I said above a little earlier, not expecting a HECS per se (but would take one!). But I have to like how things look to be shaping up in terms of chances for a pretty decent event next weekend, in a broad sense.
  24. Scarlet Pimpernel
    Are we getting into Folks, Jaws, @Bob Chill OMG surprise face territory?
  25. Scarlet Pimpernel
    Gotta love chunky flakes!!!
