Looks to be eyeing on stronger lift within the DGZ zone. I don't totally buy an all snow-event for Portland though given some onshore flow and temps spiking up a bit, however, during bursts of stronger lift there could be flips to heavy snow or at least a mix. I think though rain could quickly flip to snow moving into evening as winds become more NE.

Appreciate the explanation!

Trying to figure out when, and how incessantly, I need to be watching for changes to snow Friday evening for official obs purposes.

What's it locking onto that the others aren't?

Still on the razor's edge here. This could be one of those deals where you can see the gradient driving from one side of town to the other.

Definitely.  2" of glop at one end of Broadturn and 6" of paste on the other.

His area has had it rough for years so he’s jaded. Amazing the difference 10 miles of latitude has made in the lake region over the past 7-8 years. 

It's been BN for everyone up here, but by comparison I'm 10/30/20" +/- BN the past 3 years, respectively.  I'm obviously a different climo than you guys, but he'd be jaded and complain with those amount AN.

I would think lava rock should have his pants around his ankles at 700-750’

we could have total consensus and a forecast from GYX for a 20 burger and he'd still 'meh' it through the first 6 hours of the event.

60 hrs out for Maine I could see another tic or two 

I would definitely like another tick or two on the coast here, just for some reassurance.

Picked up 0.2" in that squall.  Up to a solid 0.5" on the season.

Certainly a shift SE from 00z and even 6z. I guess question is strength as at least the Messenger ticks have started .

 

Those are two different models so I feel like you can't really say they shifted.  Compare apples to apples.

They had Wormtown, Voodoo Ranger and Pulp Daddy. Not great , not awful. I had one of each, but knowing I had 45 minute drive home switched to lightweight Guinness 

Always a good practice to admit to drinking and driving on a public internet forum.

@tunafishWere you by chance rooting for Iran today?

I genuinely have no idea what you're talking about.

My 'confused' reaction was because you're randomly chanting USA in the December thread.  Did the NAM show something you liked?

You’re out of your mind. My backyard in nj has looked like this for a month. I’ve seen flakes already and had multiple mornings below zero. But yeah, just like august.



.

Below 0?

Just hearing about the tragedy with the hiker today.  I think NoPoles and PF nail it:

- She was set on a goal, stubborn to a fault

- Only experienced in non-hostile conditions

- Perception is that 4K is NBD

- No responsible adult thought about prepardness

Sad.  Hopefully a lesson to others down the road.

Sure, There's still a lot of growers but many are switching to Hemp to make CBD.

Not much of a black market left up here at all.  Hasn't been for about 10 years.  Everyone either started growing, or is friends with a hobbyist grower.  Or just went and got their med card.  Anyone who uses regularly and goes to the rec dispensaries is foolish or just has a enough money to not care.

Let's face it....for many, it doesn't matter what the ensembles show. The snowfall is the only thing that matters and ensembles won't tell you a lot about that more than a week into the future. They can just tell us if the pattern is more or less favorable for snow than the baseline.

 

While cumbersome at times, there was value in having the pattern and models broken out into different threads a few years back.

This is me, I wear shorts pretty much year round unless it’s like 0 degrees out. I’m never outside long enough that it’s an issue 

A supposed weenie who's never outside long?  Hmmm

This is, essentially, what we're working towards here.  As little grass as possible/as much food or native flowers/shrubs as possible.

We've had 3 growing seasons of transformations and have reduced about 1/3 of our lawn (a 0.25ish acre lot).  Goal is for 2/3 of the lawn to be replaced by growing space, the rest retained (untreated, of course) for recreation in the warm months.

Materials to turn the lawn via sheet-mulching are mostly free.  In the fall, we cover the desired area in cardboard from package deliveries or the city recycling center, followed by compost (as much as we can source on our own), and topped with wood chips delivered for free by the city.  By the spring, the area is ready for planting.  Compost/Mulch/Soil mix for top dressing as desired.  

You can be bound to your lawn or turn it into something that benefits you and the environment - I know what I'm choosing.

Could only muster a Trace here last night.  Seeing some pooling of the rain in various spots.  Made me wonder if the top layer of the ground had frozen this week.  

Yep.  Definitely frozen.

Haven't been paying attention here on the coast.  Noticed I'm at 31°F.  Not prepared for flakeage.  Guess I need to set an alarm.
