Wow that Pacific couldn't be more different. It'll be an interesting test. I took a Quick Look back at February 2006, the February that looks most similar to this year - Temperatures were slightly above average with one big snow https://www.extremeweatherwatch.com/cities/baltimore/year-2006#february

They got rid of the blizzard watch a few years before the pandemic. Blizzard warnings can still be issued but only when blizzard conditions are imminent, i.e., within 12-24 hours. Winter storm warnings can be issued before blizzard warnings or simultaneously.

Yes, very 1993-like with respect to how solid the snow/sleet/glaze is. I was able to walk the dogs on 4" of sleet this morning without falling through or leaving an imprint. However, we did fall through in places where there was 4" of sleet on top of 6" of snow. We haven't seen any plows on our street yet - and we're not on a cul de sac. I could try to guess when schools will open, but I wouldn't laugh at a guess of February 12th. I grew up in northeast Iowa and my dad always talked about January 1936, when schools were closed all month.

Please read more carefully - especially before criticizing someone.

My partner is at the grocery store and the only fruit options are zucchini spirals, cantaloupe or watermelon chunks, golden berries, a mango berry medley, and mirepoix.

According to AI, table salt is too fine, dissolves too fast, and contains additives that create a sharp, unpleasant flavor. So perhaps they would work better than table salt - but kosher salt recommended.

AI overview of the effectiveness of salt as a function of temperature. "Different salts work for different temperatures, with calcium chloride best for extreme cold (down to -25°F), magnesium chloride for moderate cold (around 10°F), and standard sodium chloride (rock salt) effective only above 15°F, making blends or specialized products better for deep freezes. Salt types by temperature Above 15°F: Sodium Chloride (rock salt) is affordable and works for light cold. 10°F to 20°F: Magnesium Chloride handles teens and regular cold, absorbing moisture. Below 10°F: Calcium Chloride is best for extreme cold, melting quickly and working down to -25°F. Blends: Many commercial ice melts use blends (like calcium chloride/magnesium chloride) for broader effectiveness. Key considerations Speed: Calcium chloride melts ice faster than sodium chloride. Pet/Plant Safety: Magnesium chloride is a less harmful option for pets and plants, while calcium chloride can damage lawns if overused. Application: Use ice melt before snow to prevent bonding, and apply sparingly to avoid damage. "

So assuming 10:1 and throwing out the extrema - 6 - 9" before changeover and assuming 3:1 afterwards we're talking 8-11 - can't complain about that. Hope it holds.

Not if we don't have power ...

TMIN biases are seen in the eastern U.S. with the operational ECMWF forecasts’ largest low biases occurring in DJF (between 1.6–2.7 °C). The low bias is exacerbated when snow is present and the boundary layer is stable. See Lopes et al. 2024. ECMWF newsletter (2018) - Increasing the physical realism of surface processes in a model to reduce systematic biases may increase the root-mean-square error (RMSE) because different kinds of errors may no longer partially cancel each other. For example, 2-metre temperature (T2m) is computed diagnostically in the IFS from the temperature at the lowest model level and the skin temperature. There is a limiter in the computation of T2m which becomes active in very stable, low wind situations, and which prevents the T2m from deviating too strongly from the temperature at the lowest model level. Removing this limiter would be physically desirable, but tests have shown that doing so in the current model setup increases the RMSE.

Thanks for the post. As some of you are aware, MOGREPS-G is the global ensemble system run by the UK Met Office. A quick check shows that it is run every 6 hours for 7 days and has 18 members. The snow map mean is an average of 36 members (the last two cycles). To increase dispersion, additive inflation is used, i.e., flow-dependent perturbations, with a structure similar to what has been observed in the past, are added to the members as they are running. Additive inflation is one of the techniques being used to add diversity to ensemble results.
