Wow that was impressive -- that's the fastest onset I've seen in a while.
Moderate to heavy SN, went from a stray flake or two straight to snow globe. Just like a thunderstorm in the summer where you can see the rain line coming and watch it hit you in the face.
32/25
I think you're missing the caveat that PSU was talking about the -NAO being mandatory to counteract the -PNA and huge central PAC ridge if they remained locked in place.
However, get the pig ridge out of the way and then there are other paths to success that don't mandate a -NAO.
Everyone want to keep rolling with obs in this thread or start another around game time?
I'm liking my luck so far, first thread I've created and I started it with the dumbest title ever, which seems to be working out OK for now.
Every bit earlier that we can start will help cap the daytime temp rise and take better advantage of the overnight ground temps....and for the coastal plain a good solid thump (even if short-lived) is probably the best shot at getting more than snow TV.
The point was to try some reverse psychology on the snow gods....if you can't find it, maybe they can't either. Although I suppose I could change it to "Cleveland Park PUMMELED".....
I know, we're cursed.
Maybe they are going to give it a little more time -- this was around 5AM. OTOH, maybe they are betting on a phased stronger storm cutting west.....
