    I guess not a total surprise that it wouldn't appear on the mean. What do individual members look like around then...any that show any kind of hit? I thought the GEFS members earlier showed some good activity at that time with some hits.

    Hey Bob...I know this is an old thread now but of course today is the 12th anniversary of Snowmageddon (hard to believe that long now!!). I wasn't here for PD-I but do recall hearing about it in the news even in Ohio. So mostly I'm responding to agree that there are those sort of "life changing" storms that just stick with you and become the benchmark. Even if other storms since have been snowier, etc. For me, it was the Ohio blizzard of 1978 (Jan. 26-27). Yeah, we didn't get a ton of snow, though hard to measure with winds. KCLE officially put down like 7" in their records (on top of a fair bit of existing old snow). But it was so incredibly severe, in a winter that was severe. Sustained winds over 40MPH, reported gusts of 80-100MPH. Complete whiteout. The center of the storm went right through northeast Ohio with a pressure recorded at KCLE of 28.28 inches (~957 mb). Temperatures dropped 30 degrees within two hours from the mid-40s at 4AM, and it hovered in the single digits the remainder of the day. The Ohio Turnpike was closed from gate to gate for the first and only time ever, from what I read. The storm itself, as I recall, bombed out by over 40 mb in a 24 hour period as it moved north...all over land. A pretty unique occurrence.

    This is very true. While Pres. Day might be about the time limit for a big HECS event, there have been several solid moderate events in late Feb through mid-March or so. More recently off the top of my head (and giving the amount I recorded at my location)... Feb 27-28, 2003...~5" Feb 25, 2007...5-6" March 3, 2009...6" March 25, 2013...4" March 2-3, 2014...5-6" March 17, 2014...8" March 25, 2014...3" Feb 20, 2015...6" (unusual cold at the start, later turned to sleet and drizzle) March 5, 2015...6-7" March 20, 2018...~5" May have missed some but those are the ones I most recall.

    I don't believe it did at 18Z offhand (but too lazy to go back and verify)...

    Haha! Yeah and Peter Schickele, of the "University of Southern North Dakota"! ETA... My parents sure twisted my mind by occasionally playing records (yes RECORDS!) of PDQ Bach shows!

    So I gather it will be kinda dull in here for awhile until something halfway trackable shows up!

    The Wurst of PDQ Bach! @Maestrobjwamight appreciate the reference!

    Well, here's a cat's-ass-trophy for ya!

    Does the icon suck or does our winter the last 2 weeks suck? Why not both? LOL!
  10. Scarlet Pimpernel
    But tell us what you really think of that model?!

    I'd agree maybe "Commanders" is meh. But I would hardly argue that "Redskins" was the coolest name in all of sports. Unless you meant WFT was coolest, hahaha! The Cleveland Indians changed their name to the "Guardians", which at least has a local reference...to the '30s art deco "Guardian" statues that adorn the Lorain-Carnegie bridge which opens up near the stadium.

    Is the NAM love-child then the CRAS, or perhaps the DGEX?
  13. Scarlet Pimpernel
    OK thanks. I think that's kinda similar to what it had before at 12Z, but haven't looked at its details. Not a step back at any rate.
  14. Scarlet Pimpernel
    So is the NAM actually slightly colder and farther along with the freezing line compared to its own 12Z? (ETA: I'm referring to Friday).

    Hard to kick cute bunnies when you're sliding around!

    Holy cow...if that actually comes close to happening. What are the surface temps like through the time the DC area is getting ice? Surprised in a way the GFS doubled down and triple dog dared on this run. I don't know what to make of it now. I mean, we're getting around 84h when this supposedly would begin.

    Lot of ice solutions in there...

    Sometimes, a broken model is right twice a day!

    Your plea for such sanity and optimism won't work here. It almost never does. Historically, we just don't do positive vibes for such rare sparks of reason. I mean, you could go back to several years ago, but the setup for that run of sanity was not the same as this one. Now, it's all despair and we don't fare well with those setups! I'll see myself out into the street now!

    LOL! So on Groundhog's Day no less! I suppose they'll keep picking a team name again and again until they get the right one??
  25. Scarlet Pimpernel
    Really? So WFT is actually to decide on a name? Yeah, I kinda think it would be funny to stick with the WTFs!!
