Quite the finale with this heavy rain. 

Get this shit outta here. Glad to see it about to end.

37F and pissing down rain in Burke.

Silver lining: the rain could be colder. 

Nice cold rain in Burke at 36 degrees. Almost can’t ask for a nicer early-January Saturday.

Yep that lull killed us. It was all snow even under lightest returns. One flake per 10 cubic feet lol

We’ve barely had any precip here in Burke. Not gonna work for even an initial dusting if you can’t get rates in a marginal situation.

If I flip from rain to rain does that count?

Wait…so you’re saying we don’t need an Obs Deb today? If that’s the case, then I’ll put my feet up and relax.

Good luck on putting a dent in the drought today, everyone!

Too many elephants down there

But what about Arkansas?

Can I be the Deb to inform everyone of the approaching warmer temps and precip flip?

Build the world's smallest snowman??? 

What is this…a snowman for ants?!

What are you gonna do with your 0”? I think I’m gonna watch the Steelers and Ravens play

Not a bad day!

I’ll watch FA Cup soccer in the morning. I’ll also rest to get over this cold and then take my daughter out for a birthday dinner!

Might steer clear of any obs thread tomorrow, though!

Edit: 29 degrees - right on my forecast low.

No…if there is an explanation other than “the elephant” I’m open to hearing it. 
 

You should probably take a break.

Would hate to be a weenie living in NYC. Classic early season fall line setup for that area shaping up. No advisory or anything for NYC with a warning for 6-10” of snow 20+ miles NNW of the city. That cutoff can be pretty damn brutal.

Not sure anyone here cares about NYC, to be honest.

5pm obs: 80° and 100% humidity

currently in a rec center for my kid’s high school swim meet.  3 hours to go. 
 

Looks like I might mix with ice cubes and coke. And 3 fingers of rum

Those places are absolute saunas.

Yes, that storm track and area covered would be a dream come true for New England.  It's been a brutal winter for the nordic resorts.  Many of which have been closed since just before XMAS.  Some never opened.  Bretton Woods hasn't opened yet.   Bolton Valley had early storms but never got around to laying down tracks and then ... Jackson, Mt. Van Hoevenberg, and Craftsbury have a few kms open - all man-made snow. 

Congrats, New England.

I am following the Arkansas updates closely because almost time to start compiling the now annual list of places with more snow than our area on the season...

If this storm had happened 50 years ago, northern Louisiana would be getting pasted. Let THAT sink in.

Just now, vastateofmind said:

LOL...yeah. There's a part of me that just wants to skip ahead to severe spring/summer season.   

Can't say I haven't had similar thoughts recently.

Honestly though...once the Holidays are done, I need some sort of hope that the weather will be interesting during the remainder of the winter. If I don't have that, then I really do start pining for warmer weather (after the inevitable chilly March/early April).

Just now, MacChump said:

lol, howard again? 

Haha...yup. Referred to ers-wxman as "douche boy" and "sonny boy."

So much for a dry Ohio Valley/Upper Midwest during a Nino. They're in line for some beneficial rains just like we are!

First time I've seen someone referred to as "douche boy" on here.

Damn...the post got nuked?!

It’d be even sweeter if most of that qpf that falls along I-95 as the gfs depicts falls when temps are still cold enough for frozen. Sucks not having everyone anyone in on the fun for this one.

FTFY

Okay but being able to enjoy outdoor activities is exactly what I'm talking about? short vs long term gains. 2-3 weeks of real cold to not worry about coming home with 10 ticks every time you go hiking for the next 12 months

Buy some opossums and let them loose in your yard.

How this storm plays out greatly affects Tuesday

So...rain on rain?

So many straws are being grasped at in the January 6-7 storm thread right now. I threw in the towel 24-36 hours ago, but now the many of the other miserable sods around here are staring relative failure in the face.
