While waiting for the WB 12Z frames to load I was thinking if I was a weather service I would invest a ton of money on computing power and brag in advertisements that my maps loaded quickest so if you subscribed to my service you would be the first weenie to be able to show the maps in tweets and on the boards. Seems like a legit strategy.
I'm always skeptical during these arctic blasts. Seems like they usually end up cold, dry and windy. They're more impressive from an energy use perspective but the big snow events around here seem to be when things are marginal. At least in my area.
Today I learned the word Toricity on the weather forums. Apparently it's a real thing in eyeballs.

Man when it comes to weather there are few things more depressing than a cold heavy rain on top of a dwindling snowpack. All that's missing is the shitty fog.
