    I’m not. Same range of possibilities as the current storm at similar range.
  2. TimB
    Probably. Also, we will be hitting the middle of the month with 0.01” of precip so far at PIT, which is a record for the first half of February. Previous record for that time period was 0.07”.

    On the GFS yeah. The others have suppressed garbage sliding harmlessly south. Unless you count the 0z ICON. It showed a direct hit of warning type snow. Point being there’s still hope for a middle ground solution where it snows here, but I’m just tired of watching models with no results.

    And if we’re looking to long-term snow averages at the end of the decade, we’ll already be replacing the 72.1 of 1992-93 with the 17.6 of 2022-23, and now we might be replacing the 76.8 of 1993-94 with like 12-15” in 2023-24. So that’s like a 4” drop in the calculated normals in and of itself, even if the rest of the decade is similar to its 90s counterparts.

    It’d almost be better if those elitist NYC fucks didn’t get a win out of this storm while we suffered through two snowless winters in a row.

    Afraid so. After a cold and dry weekend, a ridge next week looks very likely, then maybe another trough, then another ridge on the ensembles toward the end of their run and by then it’s a day away from March. This absolutely fucking blows. I can’t believe we had the two worst winters back to back.

    Not a drop of precip. Impressive really. Looks like there were even periods of clear skies observed at PIT through the night.
  8. TimB
    True. This isn’t 1/19/19.

    Imagine a scenario where you and your wife haven’t, well, you know, for two years. You elaborately prepare a fancy date night, buy her a beautiful bouquet of flowers, take her out to a nice restaurant, order and drink a bottle of the finest wine on the menu, then come home and hit the sack. All of a sudden, just as you’re getting ready to do the deed, your drunken neighbor barges through the front door thinking he’s at his house but he’s at yours. That’s what happened with this storm.

    Today is day 21 of what will be the warmest 3 week period starting in January that has ever been recorded at Pittsburgh International, and it’s not particularly close. In fact, even if you include the last day or two of the January cold snap in there, it’s still a full degree or two ahead of the 40.3 recorded in 1974. Today should bring the 21-day average to 42.9 or 43.0.

    I like how they kept the watch active for 2-4” in the ridges. How can you even justify that?
  12. TimB
    It’s official. 12z HRRR pitched a shutout. Not a flake of snow for the northern half of the county.
  13. TimB
    Guess we stay 2.9” behind last year, the worst winter in the modern record, to date.
  14. TimB
    Waiting at least another 10-11 months for an advisory level snowfall when it’s already been two goddamn years simply isn’t palatable to me.
  15. TimB
    And let’s take a moment to recognize how bad the models are these days, even at very close range. Is that because we’ve rendered our atmosphere unrecognizable by allowing billionaires to take 13 minute private jet flights and pump megatons of carbon into the atmosphere?
  16. TimB
    Worse yet, NYC gets a win out of these new shifts. Why do the least deserving people always get the good trends when they need them?
  17. TimB
    All 0z guidance so far pretty much ends the dream. Fuck this hobby.
  18. TimB
    Yep. Looking like we’re losing the NAM too. Entire precip shield misses us SE.
  19. TimB
    0z HRRR is a buzzkill.
  20. TimB
    Calendar day in and of itself can be misleading, but comparing calendar day records at one location vs another will give you a good idea of which location has better storm climo, which I think is what he was going for.
  21. TimB
    Outside of lake enhancement in NW flow, we have upper south/lower midwest snow climo but northeast advisory/warning criteria.
  22. TimB
    21z RAP is still a beaut.
  23. TimB
    Not sure how much stock anyone puts into the ICON, but improvement to 2-3” at 18z after it had been very consistent in less than an inch for several runs.
  24. TimB
    18z GFS trended back to decent. 3 hours of good snow to get us a low end advisory type event.
  25. TimB
    NAMs also slid SE.
