When do you guys think they will issue warnings?

Blizzard ones right?

Just a 2’x2’ piece of plywood and paint it white. Try to place it in the open away from obstructions and places that would drift. Measure up the hourly and wipe the board every 6 hours.

Thanks, do I place it on the ground or elevated held up by some supports?

Since we might have our first snow board worthy event could anyone recommend how to set one up for my backyard? Just using basic materials and household items.

maybe we should just look at the short range models...not the GFS

After the 12z GFS I agree we should all look at the RGEM

RGEM holds steady

With the RGEM on our side what can go wrong?

@WxUSAF here you go 

We know it will be a non event but still warrants a thread just because. This is for discussion, banter and obs. Just yeah, even with it being a non event we should have a thread so the normal ones don’t get flooded with reports of flurries and whining. Mods can delete if they want. Got the idea from @WxUSAF

Where is the north friend when we need it?

we need to have the south trend stabilize by Monday then the north trend to bring us back into the spot where the GFS is right now, what can go wrong?

Just tell me when, I got you covered.

12z GFS keeps it all snow for the area and still has the storm be moderately juicy. I’m other words about the best outcome for this system.

lol no. Sorry friend, give it another day or so 

Thank you for actual feedback instead of just saying I should be banned. 

With there now being a possible storm mid week and end week I thought I would make a thread to differentiate the two discussions.

GFS not caving tonight

Moving this here -- I like having one sooner (like 3 days out) rather than later just to better archive discussion. It's fun reading back on old events/seeing old model runs and that's hard when it's all in one LR thread.

That said, it's a proven jinx so it should've be done until the short-range, which we aren't in yet.

If the shorter range models like the NAM look good tomorrow I think we can start a thread. I do like starting them earlier so you can look back at events. 

GFS has a big step in the right direction. Still is rain for mostly everyone south of the mason dixon line but moves the snow line central PA (12z) to the mason dixon line. Might be time to start a thread?

Pretty sure you swim club - if you haven’t figured it out yet, unless you are like truly exceptional, you are probably gonna be dropping time maybe 4x a year in your best events. Being close to your time at a high school meet is all you can really ask for, lol. Conditions are not ideal and you aren’t close to tapered.

Yeah swim club 5 days a week but when I got out of the pool I knew I could of gone faster for my 500 and 200 which sucks.

Maybe your coach is working on your endurance in race situations? Also sounds like you did really well, especially considering this was your first meet on the team, right?

Yeah I placed well but my times were off, I still don't know why he put me in the 500 free. He knows Im a sprinter and can do the 200 free but still put me in the 500.

how did your other events go?  Hopefully your coach doesn't put you there again.  :-)

I did fine I guess. I got second and third in my individual events but did not go the times I wanted. In my relays (swam 50 and 100 free) or short course events I did very well and was on the B relay. So it was fine but a little upset I missed my times that I know I can go physically but have sort of a mental block where I am so afraid of dying by the end of the 500 or 200 I just don't give it my all.

A distance swimmer, that is.  The highlight didn't quote properly. 

I can confirm that I am not a distance swimmer after the meet.

If the Euro is good should we start a thread, or wait till tomorrow we are only 5 days out.

*Insert its happening gif

I'll stop posting individual shots of the GEFS after this, but it's fair to say that most members look very different than the 12z OP run --- generally weaker and more suppressed + earlier with the storm but wintrier as a result. Happens pretty rarely that there is such disagreement from what I've seen, so consider me invested. 

Similar with the Euro members, the main looked fine but a lot of the members had a much snowier solution than I expected.
