My bday is the 11th. I will reel one in.

Are we like so  back again right now or something?

Just about two weeks away from the end of malackalogical winter, so either we get a nw trend sometime next week or 

Happy to see the bleeding kind of seem to stop on the next next (weekend) system

My bday is the 11th. I will reel one in.

It definitely helps that the entire region has been snowless this winter.  It would be much worse if I was sitting at 7" and Waterloo and Dubuque were at 35".

100%. It's like this winter just didn't take at all so far.

How's it going @cyclone77? Top event of the season in progress?

Believe me gang I've learned that lesson. Just found it funky fresh that two separate models actually depict something similar at that range, because even with long range OP guidance being what it is, I don't remember that happening yet this season strictly from a statistical standpoint (even if it means nothing)

Unfavorable pattern plus lots of persistent cutoff which occasionally time their way into fantasy range mirages

Alright idk if I've misled but did you see 12z today?

Has there been a single run yet this entire season where the GFS in Euro actually depicted roughly the same evolution for a storm at more than 200 hours out?

counterpoint: riding it

Love this new optimistic Alek bro

Think about it, the experience and memories this storm will give them down there probably just seeded thousands of potential weather nerds for the future

Ope here comes the GHD-ish episode of the season, can't believe it's already that time

Obligatory pls lmk if this is nonsense. Y'all know I'm the premier climate change believer ofc, but the one vibe this winter in isolation hasn't given me yet is that it's suddenly that much harder to get snow at our latitude. It's a bad winter for meteorological reasons far beyond my understanding, but it's not like it's been torching the entire time and only snowing up north. There just really hasn't been shit anywhere. For that reason -and please don't take this as me trying to sugarcoat a shit winter- this season's L's aren't quite as depressing as last year's were (again, in isolation) where we kept being just a bit too warm every time or something.

I think any snow melting weather is gross lol. I loathed seeing the sun today haha. 

I agreed completely, especially considering the upcoming cool down. But with the snowpack damage done  yesterday already, I can't let myself be a downer today

At the risk of sounding like a shitposter like the rest of yall, this warm spell kind of just ruined me because I realized I literally dgaf about getting snow momentarily. The warmth feels so nice

I think I'd rather suffer like we have been than endure three storms back to back missing somehow, which seems to be the plan over there as of now

I've been really hesitant to talk about the upcoming potential pattern change.

For one, the can has been getting kicked down the road as to when when it will occur. But also, when it does occur, there like three different directions it may go.

Are two and a half of them shit?

u get buried down there?

Regrettably I just woke up now and it's hard to say, definitely not more than an inch. But it's fresh again out, which is already an over performance for this one. What more can you ask for these days

Time to see if at least the city can reel the next Michigan special in a lil

Hoping the mini event moving through tonight over performs a little. Looks like definitely north 

Lol global warming who hurrdurr

Looks like a quick 0.5-1" of snow this aftrn with a front moving through. Hopefully that weekend clipper will give me a couple more. Any Lake bands would be welcome as winds turn E to NE. Very brown still after the warmer end to Dec, along with the rain we had here in town. 

Is it at all normal for you to have bare ground going into mid-January?

Grass will be covered. Final call.
