Ugh I got my first spurt of adrenaline when I saw the pbp maps. I guess I'm invested now.

We haven't really had much big snow anywhere in the NE in recent years, or even major cold outbreaks like this so people have probably gotten soft. At least we don't have major ZOMG POLAR VORTEX BOMB CYCLONE hysteria....yet.

Here we go again...

Well taken literally I guess the headline is technically correct. Fails to mention that likely only the fish are likely to experience the snow...but technically it is "along East Coast". But clicks....

This sounds like an easy way for old pro model watchers like us to print money on the backs of newbie apple weather app watchers placing long bets ten days out. They all be placing bets for the next storm of the century and we just have to open short positions for expiry four days before the progged storm.

WTF, is this like a polymarket to trade weather forecasting?

Bruh we've gone 360 weeks with no snow....we can go hours.

Bastardi is hyping the more western solution of the AIs. We're in good company.

On Saturday we just need the whole board to go outside and point their vacuum cleaners east and turn them on full blast. We can pull it in.

Congrats Houston?

What's the latest from Uccellini?

"there is equally if not higher odds it just skirts out to see as..." Hmmmm

I'd settle for three feet.

I feel like it's statistically unlikely that the GFS can just be wrong every single time this winter. Eventually it has to luck its way into a correct solution. Hopefully this is it.

Monster SoMD blizzard on the GFS. I hope it can finally be right.

Try Lisbon

They could save money and processing power and just ask Bastardi how much snow. Would probably actually be more conservative in totals.

I might need to switch from Android to Apple their weather app always gives weenie snow totals.

Congrats Des Moines.

Feel bad for all the folks that failed to shove/snowblower their driveways last night. Solid glacier down in Calvert this morning. I can even walk on top of the snowpack at 190lbs. One of my neighbors didn't heed my call to shovel last night and is hopelessly iced in, I don't know how they're going to get out without professional help.

bUt tHe HaDLeY cELL!!!

What a day. We drove back from DCL to Calvert this afternoon. It was a surreal drive, like mad max. All the way from DCL to the beltway I encountered less than ten cars on my side of the interstate. It was like some nuclear winter or something. Nobody anywhere. Roads were slick but whatever it was worth it to have zero traffic. ...and then came the beltway. Traffic was minimal but then we got stuck behind a plow train that I kid you not had at least 25 plows in it. No joke. So that was 90min of 5mph torture being stuck behind it. Then they all went North on I-95 and it was free sailing the rest of the way. Got home to moderate rain and a solid 10" of slush and snow in Calvert. I decided to snow blow the driveway before it had a chance to turn into a glacier tonight, and tomorrow I have to prep for a Tuesday colonoscopy so I figure I wouldnt be up for much physical work tomorrow. Going to sleep well tonight.

7F right now and seems like it's mostly flipped over to sleet. Hard to tell, very windy. I was out snowblowing around the cabin and it seems like maybe 10-12" of snow? Very hard to tell because there's a ton of drifting up here and almost nowhere that's good to measure on. We're gonna eat breakfast and then go 4WD'ing in the snow!

I've got two oil lamps burning right now. I swear I have gallon jugs of shabbos lamp oil all over the place.

First flakes on top of Meadow Mountain! Actually picking up in a little intensity. 5F.
