Scarlet Pimpernel

Thanks...I didn't realize they ran an ensemble as well.

RPS? Is that their ensemble suite?

Cute photo!!! Dec. 26, 2010, correct? That's the "storm that nobody names" here in the DC area, we got zip from that while areas south of here and not far north got anywhere from a good amount of snow to a near HECS! I was actually visiting my parents up in Philly at that time for Christmas in 2010, and left the morning of the 26th because Philly was looking at getting pretty well hammered and I wanted to avoid driving in that. I think you all got 12"+ in the Philly area? (Depending on where in the city...my parents are in the Society Hill area, near South St.).

Actually I think the CRAS sort of got that Jan. 30, 2010 event right, pushing some of the heavier snow farther north? I think that's what gave it some undue "fame" back then. Oh and you're not supposed to state that day after Christmas storm by name...like Voldemort, you can't call it out directly in these parts!! LOL!!!!

We need to bring the DGEX (REJEX??? LOL!!) back!!! Which was essentially an extrapolated NAM!

Hahaha, no, not quite! Yeah, we overanalyze every model, even the NAM at its far ranges! But then I just saw @psuhoffman starting to extrapolate it. WTF is the world coming to?!?!?! We need snow!

True...and honestly with so much other crap going on I've almost lost track of time, and the fact that this event would actually start here sometime later Wednesday.

Well in that case, God help us all!

I really, really, really...really! want to see @stormtracker have a reason to show the "Shocked Beethoven" image again!!!

Wait...we're seriously analyzing the NAM now for this event??

So I come back in here, see the Euro results and think "Wow...it held, this is looking more locked in overall". And what do I read? Several comments complaining and tearing of hair that it's not a 20" monster here like it was at 00Z or whatever. Jesus people, get a grip (or a $138 steak served by Jesus, hahaha!). I couldn't believe how many downer and over-concerned posts there were after that run. Do we still have 5-posting in here at all? Fact is, at this point every major model is showing at least a warning level event area-wide. Even the "low end" CMC had ~6" or so. I'm speaking in general round terms here, not specific locations. It's looking more likely that we should all be in for a forum-wide 6-10" or 8-12" event, maybe with some more upside if things work out just right. Even if the phasing doesn't quite work out or is a bit messy. And we're talking cold powder here, people!! When's the last time we had anything like this? I'd say the 2016 blizzard. /end rant!

That's what kids are for!!! At least once they're old enough. I had to shovel our driveway every winter in northeast Ohio, and believe me that was pretty darned often! Not that I minded since I've always loved snow. Of course, as soon as I went to college, my parents then got a snowblower!

Haha, right! The GFS was more drunk than you and you had much better booze than what it was drinking!!! Glad you're feeling OK after that! The 06Z looked notably better, hopefully we have a convergence to something good here. And yes...LFG, FOLKS, JAWS!!

So...stayed up until near midnight last night. Got @stormtracker's buzzed/drunken PBP for the GFS (F the GFS!!), which did it's usual sucking...@Ralph Wiggum's 15-yard personal foul penalty and red card call on the CMC, which then looked like a bomb. Decided not to stay up for the Euro. Come in this morning expecting pages of ugh!, only to find the Euro bombs us again at both 00Z and 06Z, and now the 06Z GFS is coming more in line with a good storm! Nice surprise to wake up to! Let's bring this MF-er FOLKS storm home!

Hahaha! I definitely remember those days, counting each word to make sure I got at least the minimum in those 500 or 1000 word essay type assignments! And they'd always tell you that short words didn't count (like "a", "and", "the", "or"...)!!

You can always call @Jebman, he'll come by with his shovel to dig you out!

And serves $138 steaks!

Don't tell us that you abandoned Jesus for the GFS!!

As long as you can still say "F the GFS!!" and "FOLKS!!!"

Ate them all during the Super Bowl???

C'mon man! You need the DGEX for that at this range!

I think many people forget that the 06Z GFS last Saturday was dumping 40"+ over the area for this storm.
