I can speak from firsthand experience that winter headlines make all the difference not just to individuals but to businesses that rely on them. Just because your mom doesn't know or care about the difference between 1" and 4" in the forecast doesn't mean that the difference doesn't have a major impact on society as a whole. An argument that all of this nuance doesn't matter is seriously riddled with naivete. Anyone who thinks this year's Christmas storm didn't deserve a warning definitely did not drive around in it. I lost a fuel injector about half way through the 20 minute drive to my SO's apartment, and I barely managed to limp the car there the rest of the way. Thank fuck it's a short drive in a fairly populated area, idk what I would've done out in the middle of bumfuck.

I'll do any weather except hurricanes. Idk how mfers post up a kilometer from the ocean knowing it's basically a matter of time till their house gets swept away. Summer derechos do the trick for me. Edit: One day I'd love to chase a hurricane tho

If we get that clipper behind it to wring out an inch or something this would be basically the only snowy stretch of the winter no? As in multiple snowfalls in semi close order?

Cringe

I literally had the fucking thread creating window open and was about to look at naming conventions when this popped up Bit of a jog south across the board this morning, I'm hoping that we get another one or two of those. Even if it ends up being a marginal kind of deal looks like a decent front end thump type of thing. Right?

We gonna make a thread for the 9th-10th or...

I'm actually so excited for popcorn t-storm season. And Afternoon/evening squall season. Really hope we get a couple nader opportunities too.

It's okay we'll bag the next one. Lol.

Like Baum said, I'm ready to chase the next ball kicker. This looks like a much more interesting setup no?

Nice little maximum (close to) in your backyard huh

Coping hard but we got an interesting sunset out of it at least over here. The edge of the cloud deck is visible to the west with blood orange skies beyond. It's the little things

You and me both. Probably just a few miles away from you rn, been watching the edge of the precip just slowly edge closer and then stop in its tracks.

Band of heavy returns about to pivot over dupage like molasses taking a shit.

The system around 180 hours out catches my eye because it looks like if it happens, it might be a less thermally marginal setup (right?). I guess if it isn't a shitter sludge storm then I'd be more open to one last chance.

Yeah true fuck all of you /s

I must concede of course that this is going to be just another painfully close mess for the Chi-Town crew, but I hope it overproduces somewhere at least instead of bitching out at the last minute.

Still like where I'm at, this is totally gonna be one of those now casting north western shifters

Lays down the white stuff imby like coke on a hooker's back Edit: so about four sleet pellets worth

The HRRR is bumping north slowly too if anyone cares

RAP with a jump north if anyone cares.

Come on homie join the fun club, the correct response is "Final call >8 inches"

Yes, with the wind blowing away from you

Sure the NAM may have shifted SE but it's still on a different plane of reality than the lame models.

"Impossible"
