^ it's snowing here, but not a whole lot. Not that my hopes were all that high given the depression fest this thread has been anyway but it kind of sucks to watch my chance of maybe, possibly, getting to warning criteria go to either side
Flake size is garbunkle now but the roads are turning entirely white slowly, I guess temps are finally low enough now. Should rip nicely when better synoptic snows move into the vicinity. Love the wind.
Got a nice four or five inch drift on a little roof alcove on the ol humble abode
I'm just happy we're not counting every day of the new snow drought record anymore. Cheers to a hopefully good year of chasing and model-whoring gang! Life wouldn't be the same without you
This is one of those treat events where things get better and better in the close range. We locked it in, now it's time to build it up.
If somebody replies with some realist bullshit I swear my soul will evaporate instantly
I thought that's the whole point? I mean there's the final call, and then there's like the real final call. I'm talking about the preliminary guess that is at least semi-informed
I don't get why everyone's tweaking right now. Even the strung out runs were good by this year's standards and we're backing away from that. Look at the CMC and tell me you wouldn't be satisfied with something like that. There's still time to work our way back a little too.
Fwiw 06z GFS looks a lot better again than 00z. Maybe at some point things can start trending up again in a GHD II fashion; not to compare this event to that one by any means
Just a day or two away from thread making time, no matter where this thang ends up. I wonder how the two systems that are coming up this week might influence the track of the bigger dog.
This is a dumb question even by my standards, but what is the fourth of the big four? Euro, GFS, CMC are no brainers but I'm blanking on the last one for some reason
Aren't airborne debris a major part of this type of metal deformation? Or does that not even matter unless you're talking a tornado strong enough to do it manually?
substance-lacking post but this stuff is seriously just nuts to think about. I wonder how much energy is required to tear apart reinforced concrete like that... Or move two hundred ton rail cars and stuff. It is actually insane to think that the atmosphere is capable of producing such a concentrated release of energy
