Radar is looking tasty though

I am surprised they went 4-8 for the storm warning for my area. Bullish call imo. 

GFS is game on.

I'm not really posting this about this system, but I was reminded of it and have to give it another moment in the spotlight ...one of the best posts of the winter perhaps ever

No way anyone is panicking about the HRRR. And even still it has a 2-5 storm for everyone. 

0Z HRRR slightly drier. But it will be different every run for the next 18 hours.

in the mountains, sure—the winter storm warnings will go live tonight. but most of us don’t live there and will get 2-3”.

Nah. I think you will do better than that. 

My Final call:

3-5 for everyone in this subforum with 8 inch jacks in elevated areas. Maybe double digits up around Deep Creek.

Don't stop drinking until Sat AM.....

Apparently the NAM has been partaking as well. 

Boom. Winchester pummeled.

You start drinking already?

Of course. Its thirsty Thursday man. 

This bad boy has the classic region wide 4-6 with 8 inch lolli's written all over it. Old school snowstorm coming. 

Its slightly better for some to the east than the 6z run. But really just noise imo. 

Gfs dews are 5 degrees colder than the NAM's heading into the event. 

Dewpoints at onset out here in the Valley. It's close but fine.

Or a hamburger with regular ass bread.   Our parents traumatized us.

Haha. My mom used to roll up hotdogs in a damn slice of wonder bread and call it a bun. I cant stand hotdogs to this day.

I like that my total is higher on the Kuchera. 

Yes sir. Not a cold air problem with this one. 

Euro kind of similar to the ICON?

They may change things but we have had frosts here almost every year for the past 5 or 6 at or after May 10

Yeah. It kind of surprised me as well. I havent noticed an earlier planting cycle at all.

Was in Lowe's yesterday looking around and picked up some starter mix. We already had all the seeds needed to get started. Probably get going as soon as we return from CA 1st weekend in March. 

I have already started celery, eggplants, peppers and shallots. Peas went in the ground last weekend. Brassicas will get started early March. And everything else late March. I love this time of year. Gardening while the snow can still fall. 

I didnt see Matt had started the garden thread already. I posted this in the banter thread. I will copy it here as well:

I dont how many are gardeners in here. But the USDA updated their zone maps this year. I was moved into a warmer zone here. I was moved from a 6B to a 7A. That is a pretty major difference in planting schedule. And basically ends their thoughts of me getting frosts here into mid May. I was actually kind of shocked. Because we had a really cold spring last year. And I had my last frost on May 7th. Type your zip code into this map and you can see what the temperature change for your area has been since 2012. Mine was 4 degrees.
