Early feeling is that this weekend will probably end up one of those “city east” specials we see once a winter. After the hell of trying to shovel out what happened Sunday, would like a small break, then get on with the rest of winter.
Either way, getting an increasing feeling that somewhere right around where I’m at is the jack zone. My 3rd 20+ storm of the past nine winters may be in order.
BGM says “hold your horses” and may even get sleet to me.
weirdly sleet might be beneficial to some degree. Encases the 8-12+ that would still happen first and make it practically bulletproof. Given the persistent cold that’s ahead this pack will not go anywhere.
on the other hand, sleet at…checks notes…10f? is always baffling when it happens
To take things out of our backyards for a moment, I get the feeling an impending disaster awaits a good portion of the south. Those ice totals = very much not good
Closing on 30” for the season after this weekend’s 1-2 punch, MSV airport approaching 3 feet for the season. Hoping for an answer as to what might unfold this weekend soonish.
Gearing up for between .1-.25 of ZR before any rain, well up north might be in for a legitimate ice storm. Doubt we see 50 tomorrow but 40s sounds more realistic
Main thread degenerating as usual, so either way still look good for a reasonable snow event.
The warmer models (NAM) popping up the suggestion of sleet bombs scares me. Sleet is up the totem pole from snow for how much I despise clearing it away.
Ended the storm with plenty of areas around here ending up with 6-8”. Second big overperformer storm of the past two winters, and I push past 20” for the season. Onto Friday.
Tomorrow could be a legitimate 2-4” event here. That, coupled with the potential this weekend, could push me close to 30” for the season and it isn’t even January yet.
