Now that I got my vent out, idc what happens with this Friday system as long as it doesn't end up being another balloon knot-puckeringly close miss, which certainly seems a strong possibility.

Personally I get the vibe that we in N IL need to stop being so pessimistic right about now because like Alek says, the clippers are coming, and like Cyclone said, there's a lurking sign for something around the 18th through the 20th. Yea yea obviously it can all go to shit and ensembles this ensembles that, but like guys just shelf the pessimism for a few days and let's turn into real assholes if it doesn't pan out and/or things go straight back to shit afterwards for February (which some might consider a W at that point, again like others have said). I'm not even saying that the upcoming stretch is in any way more remarkable than the ones that have mostly not materialized or not produced so far this year (y'all know I'm not qualified to make that judgement), but ffs at this point this board is depressing me more than my actual life is. And ofc shit weather is shit weather, don't polish turds etc. etc., but just stfu for three days and if it still looks like ass then we can be sad again. Deal?

Just so you know, the ukmet is available for free on pivotal weather complete with at least 10:1 snowfall products https://www.pivotalweather.com/model.php?m=ukmo_global

That's my hope. Finesse enough to cover the grass and then build on it with a clipper or two or something.

Yeah dude you've really been getting boned this year right? Hopefully we'll cash in soon

Here's to hoping I can eek out a half inch before another week of boredom

Not even fucking cold yet and my car battery still died overnight. I'm definitely due to get a new one though so I can't be mad. Nothing will beat losing a fuel injector right after the glorified Christmas fropa of '22

Dude that guy faded from memory completely holy cow

Somebody please lmk how the 18z Euro looks my broke ass does not feel like waiting until Tropical tidbits roles out

Is the NAM even that much of a northerly outlier? Seems like basically every model gets the snow shield *about* that far north

I get the vibe too tbh

Can someone pretty please explain to me what our expectations should be like regarding wind with this system? My understanding is limited essentially to "bigger pressure gradient = more wind" but I got no idea about the nuances.

We could always just jump for a timeshare up in snow belt

I'm so glad I'm not the only one ❤️

06z did, 12z is a couple steps back again. One can hope tho for sure

So what do you think is going to happen?

If it makes any of us feel better, I think our NE counterparts are going through a pretty similar situation with this storm

Lighting that fire within me™

What zero snow does to mfs

Since 2015, there's been that one huge LE event that I understand was well up into the double digits downtown, but have there been any other events that I forgor about? Ik that's already at least three in the last 15 years but I'm curious if I'm missing any

Yeah, that's definitely a big dependency. My enjoyment of any subsequent clippers and ability to tolerate the cold both hinge significantly on having at least a half decent opener, otherwise it's just more dog shite.

Is it useless cold if there's a solid snowpack laid down before it? Also obviously idk shit about fuck but surely a couple of clippers would pop up here and there to get us through it, right? Looks to me like the models suggest at least one or two small refreshers might drift through at some point after this weekend, even if CAD is definitely the theme

Not to suggest that it matters, but didn't GHDII spend most of the medium range chilling largely south of where it ended up in reality?

Okay guys we've been validated, get your weenie on

Selfishly, I know I'd be sitting here pissing and shitting myself about that miss south stank but true, this storm really will be a huge waste.
