  1. Measuring snow on PAVED surfaces is about as wrong as it gets. Paved surfaces retain heat. I don't think I've ever seen snowfall qualified in an official measurement as "slushy" or any other descriptor.
  2. Looks like most guidance is 45-55mph gusts. Euro oddly enough seems to be on the lower side of the range.
  3. the 6z NAM has 80-90kt winds at 850mb overnight Thur into Fri. Imagine having something like that in the warm season with beefy CAPE. It even places a little pocket of 1-2 supercell compositive paramter in the area - but at 12z Fri AM. Timing sucks.
  4. As shown...the timing sucks in terms of the diurnal cycle on the 6z GFS. But timing I feel is less important in these cool season events since we can still advect in warm temps even at night. It's going to be a marginal CAPE environment no matter how you look at it (even during the day). GFS still gets 850mb winds into the 70-80kt range for a time Thur PM into Fri.
  5. Some of the CFS and CanSIPS stuff seem to have a bit of a ring of fire style pattern possible in the warm season.
  6. Mid February is usually when the early peeks at severe can sometimes start showing up. Judging by the models and the long range thread, looks like maybe a marginal threat for Thur night? General severe discussion, remembering past events, and all that usual stuff that goes in here each year can go in here again. Hopefully we get some good thunderstorms this spring and summer. Looking forward to plenty of copy and pasting from @yoda, downer posts from @Eskimo Joe, great analysis by @high risk, and plenty of sun obs that turn into nothing. Giddy up! And for humor sake - see below
  7. This is around when I make the severe thread every year
  8. It's all the angles that are murdering us. F angles. The cold air angle, the sun angle - we can't catch a break.
  9. The blazing sun angle will kill this threat before it even starts
  10. Normally I'd say maybe it's the increased resolution - but the HRRR being in line with the other guidance tells me maybe the 3km NAM is smoking something.
  11. You should switch to doing pbp of the 250mb level without telling anyone. Would be some confused weenies in here.
  12. @Maestrobjwa - Definitely want to echo what others have said. You do seem to honestly want to work on it - and that's great!. But if weather makes you legitimately want to throw things in anger it might be crossing from being a hobby to being something unhealthy. I don't mean to sound funny - but what @Ji has sort of turned into his "thing" on the board - you genuinely seem to be experiencing for real on your side. Of course everyone has different interests/hobbies etc - but I've picked up a bunch of new stuff to occupy time between various weather events. It makes things way more tolerable. Anything from fossil hunting at Calvert Cliffs to getting a board game group together. Just things to bridge the gap. Get yourself into astronomy events or something - that way things like the Perseids meteor showers or cool eclipse events get you excited as well. Weather as a hobby should be fun - sure there's some disappointment built in - but it's like seeing your favorite team lose in playoffs. It stings and you keep moving to the next hobby or season. I hope snow/weather can go from being a stressful hobby for you to being one that you enjoy more wholly.
  13. It almost sounds like some rain mixed in here in Colesville. BUT it's 31.8. Thinking it may just be water dripping off of trees and branches. Definitely not as pretty as the snow earlier in this lighter stuff.
  14. Radar shows that deathband cycling up again. Down to 33.5 here now. Could start to see accumulation soon!
  15. Steady light snow here now in Colesville, MD. Temp right around 35.
  16. Should help destabilize for the thunderstorms later. 36.7 here now after getting up to around 39 a little while ago.
  17. Some of it is exactly what he said about it being "what I grew up with" - so a little of the "Texas Sharpshooter" phenomena. If I shoot at the side of a barn 10 times and circle the 3 closest shots to the center and call myself a Texas Sharpshooter - doesn't make it true. Biases of course exist.
  18. I think we are mostly on the same page to be honest. I forget how old you are. Ultimately I'm hoping we'll score something during the upcoming pattern that won't be so much of a subforum divider.
