Models underestimate cold press + NAM often sees the mid level warmth = more sleet and zr? I just can’t picture a ton of snow for this one near the front. Gonna be a fun on to nowcast! Probs lots of surprises. .
Albany at 13.8". 18" below average. We have had snow cover since MLK though. XC skiing was great today with a solid 4.5" of tough stuff underneath 1.5" of powda!
Steady light snow out here on the western frontier. 1” on ground. Light winds. 5F / 1F. Haven’t seen snow with it this cold in a while!! Radar looks decent. Glad to be in the game…..barely [emoji851] .
My son just skied ABasin and said it was great although they still need more snow to cover some of the rocks but he said the mountain was skiing great! I’m heading out there in Feb. I’ll probs hit Stratton or Windham Sunday. Hope they get some snow. Need a mountain dumper!!!
Good luck to all you SNE Weenies! Hope you guys have the storm of a lifetime! I’m excited to track this one and watch from the sidelines! Gonna be some sweet GOES-16 images!
72 Ford Torino here. Put that thing in reverse going 40 and it shifted better than ever after that lol. #cantkillit. My dad had an alligator clip lead to ground the am radio and it gave me a little shock when I tried to put it back on after it fell off while driving. Knocked my hand into the shifter thingamajig. Put 9 people in once in college and fried the wheel bearings. Loved that car. Drove another the faster you went. .
Wise words. The models probably make some off us worse at forecasting lol. They’re just one collection of tools in a tool box with many collections of tools. Some want to think that the models are screwdrivers that keep trying to screw us. Perhaps we should be using more wrenches and pliers so we can grab onto the weather weenie gods nuts. .
If models got too accurate, weather prediction would be boring and these threads would not be any fun. The more the models suck, the more fun forecasting is! People think they want perfect models……be careful what you wish for. .
