Congrats homie, that's awesome!

Isn't there definitely an unwarned nader or potential for one on that cell north of Peoria

Bout to thread some major needle up in this bih

I get that the average Joe might not really remember it just for amounts but imo weenies should think back fondly simply for the impressively good trends up until start time. I can really only recall like one other event IMBY since (the 10.X" of concrete we got in early February 2021) that kept looking better and better up to h0, or at least not worse.

I forgot to ask the other day... Isn't president's day the 19th?

I can already feel my sack shriveling

Long Range Pattern February 10th Onward: While the first 9-10 days of February may be one of the warmest if not the warmest on record, a mid month pattern change after February 10th to a colder (seasonable or colder) and at least somewhat active pattern is favored. The passage of the aforementioned cold front toward the end of next week will be the first signs of the impending pattern change. Toward and after Valentine`s Day, mid and upper level ridging will develop and establish itself near the west coast and extend up to or just north of Alaska. The western ridging is known as a +PNA (positive Pacific North American) teleconnections pattern, and the ridging near Alaska is known as a -EPO (negative East Pacific Oscillation). In response to the upstream mid and upper level ridging (think a rise or bump in the jet stream), downstream troughing (think of a dip or buckle in the jet stream) will develop and establish over central and eastern North America. Meanwhile, high latitude blocking in the Arctic and North Atlantic (generally near Greenland) is expected to develop, leading to a -AO (negative Arctic Oscillation) and -NAO (negative North Atlantic Oscillation) teleconnections. As troughing develops across the central and eastern US and ridging manifests to the west and over Greenland, a seasonably cold air mass from interior Canada should discharge into the Midwest and potentially get "locked" in place. Meanwhile, depending on the exact positioning and amplitude of western ridging, an active El Nino subtropical jet (STJ) may continue to cut underneath the ridging and feature associated disturbances tracking eastward toward the Lower Great Lakes. Taken together, the return of seasonably cold or colder air masses should bring an attendant return of more regular occurrences of precipitation to the general region, including the wintry variety, toward and during the 2nd half of February. Stay tuned! Castro

Guess we're gonna have to thread that needle

My birthday is the eleventh. If we get blue balled again precisely around then it would be pretty funny tbh cause from my perspective, you know it has to happen

I can't wait for this weekend

Lmao hopefully you have better luck out there cause I think I'm SOL

Literally couldn't get my 2wd stick shitbox out of the neighborhood. Main roads were okay. Pull up to point B and the second my feet hit the ground I fall out of my car onto the ice-covered ground.

Curious to see how well our snowpack can hold up. To my understanding it looks like past Wednesday, there isn't much in the way of rain coming this way and we look to dodge a serious torch. I can't really recall how quickly 30-40F thaws things out.

I almost ate shit about five times so far today

This is the knowledge I've been searching for for years. Thanks king

Keeping it $1.50 with yall if I had to choose between another couple weeks of actual winter or getting the lake comfortably swimmable ASAP... I think unless the former actually delivers something historic, I'd have to choose the latter. Just feeling a little blue-balled still like @Baum said.

Crazy how 23° feels like 65° after having to wear my dad's old army-issued snow onesie that I finessed years ago on dog walks the last few days

If we could just keep a bit of the snowpack somehow that would be swagallicous but alas

Consider this a bonus round if it actually pans out decently. Just please not the fgen close miss north then south or some shit like LOT mentions

It's snowing pretty decently here (albeit with smaller flake size) under the tiniest queef of a radar return so I can only imagine that it's coming down decently out west

That's exactly what I'm saying. I have only fond memories of them

That's my fear too. Just enough to dust everything is satisfactory in my book.

Shit, I would be giddy with a wind-whipled inch, let alone two, to freshen things up again real quick before the hard freeze. I'd take that and runnn

Looks like if we're lucky, maybe someone gets a chance at squeezing something out of a clipperish thang next Thursdayish. Hopefully no mixing issues with that

Unless I'm missing something, precip looks to end mostly around here within the next two hours. Maybe some backside snow overnight, and it's a wrap. It's nice that the morning thump actually delivered; it's the only thing keeping this storm from being an L instead of just an L.
