Scarlet Pimpernel

Sometimes the obs thread seems the same as the banter thread which seems the same as the obs thread!

Sigh...whelp, back to the longer range mindset now! On to the ensembles and various other globals. Until anything gets into NAM range, of course!

Yup. I was hopeful for some good snow rates at least for a little while before flipping, but woke up to nothing but sleet from beginning. But...at least it might be cool to experience a bit of a "sleet bomb" if some heavier rates come through, and then turn that into a block of ice!

Yeah, and some were the same people who were all freaking out yesterday that the models looked like they were getting "too dry" for them, etc. But whatever. I don't mind too much seeing the photos and seeing some reports though. I was surprised, honestly, to wake up to nothing but sleet. I really thought we should get a few hours of good snow before flipping, but I don't think I've even seen a flake here thus far. Sleet hasn't been overly heavy, but at times I can definitely hear it hitting the windows, and there's a decent coating. I'm not even sure if we'll see a "sleet bomb" and a 2" layer of concrete. Is what it is, I suppose. I'm actually a bit worried about ice later on (freezing rain), so will see how that evolves.

Well, at least your phone is fully charged!

So...I suppose all banter is a gift then!!

Notably wetter than 18Z, if I recall correctly?

I have no clue what the F he's talking about. But apparently you're an aviator??

PSA: Divide by 2.54 to get 'Murcan units!!

The back edge of your refrigerator??

Thanks for this. And my apologies for stepping into the "fray" with my response a little earlier. Probably shouldn't have done so. Anyhow, totally agree with you here. Especially about Ji's posts! LOL!

The NAM took our snow away, that's what went wrong!

I thought we have been since 00Z last night!!

A couple of photos of the sky late this afternoon and early this evening (note the moon visible in the 1st one)...

Damn, that's too bad! I always envision you as a cloaked skeleton Reaper! ETA: Wait a minute...that probably makes me weird to think that!! LOL!!

What about Pacino??

Totally agree, and I'm more or less on the same page as you...I find him tedious. It is kind of sad in a way, because I have seen some really good and insightful posts he has made. But yeah, that's overtaken by the vast majority of the time when he's insufferable; maybe that's his "thing", but nobody needs the model or storm threads taken up with it.

Why thank you! I have always appreciated bad puns (the only sort that are good!). And yeah, my screen name comes from chess, and is a German word (I enjoy chess though haven't played as much of late, sadly). I took German for 2 years in high school and a couple of years in college, really liked it! I actually got halfway decent at being able to read it reasonably well and even carry on an OK conversation. But that was MANY years ago, I've forgotten a lot of that by now!

Probably much better for the blood pressure, I'm sure!

But perhaps you are Falstaff (false staff)!! OK, exiting the elevator quickly while the odor of that particularly lousy pun percolates!

Thanks. Yeah, something looks a little odd. And sorry @Deck Pic, didn't see you had already posted the total QPF just before I asked my question, but thanks!

What's the total QPF look like...is it just as pock-marked looking as this?

Sorry to hear she's getting up there in years and has had cardiac issues. Hope you'll be OK when "that time" comes...it's never easy really to prepare ones self for that, I know.

Overcome by overexposure to pure CUTENESS!! Thanks for sharing...

Or the Panic Room...
