When ops runs drop 2 years worth of snow and end up here on Feb 20th, you can feel pretty good saying we're not done for a while. Yea yea, it's the gfs d15+. I know this. But look where it ends up. This would be the beginning of ANOTHER hot streak. Reading between the lines, the 18z gfs loves us SO MUCH that it even shaped the -NAO like a heart.

It's all MBY perspective. If I had an inch of snow for every time I rained or slopped while you shoveled and posted green envy pics, I could open a ski area in my backyard. If I lived where you lived I would feel the same as you do. If you lived in my hood you would feel the same as me. But since far more people here live in temp worryland, you'll hear my perspective repeated constantly for MBY reasons alone and nothing else

Jan 2011 was a big upper level bowling ball overnight. Not even close imo. Maybe temps and such. Dynamics/features? It's like comparing a ford mustang gt to a ford focus. They're both cars but kinda stops there

Was a senior in HS and Feb was the greatest snow month for fun I've ever had. Bumper skiing all over the neighbornood. Bonfire midnight sledding parties with cases of OE800 tall boys packed in the snow at Strathmore. Cops came a few times to hang out and talk. Not to break it up. Life was so different back then but too many people did too many dumb thing in general and the party has been over since.

At this late stage in my weenieism, only 6-12" of ice will scratch the itch. Kinda like a cat 5 up the bay with a left turn at point lookout. I'm no spring chicken and time is running out on apocalyptic epicness to hit b4 I'm gone. I'd be honored at this point for winter wx to take me out. Heck, I had to come to grips with the same thing in the colorado backcountry and avalanches. You can mitigate but not remove the risk. So you either accept that every descent could be your last or dont make the first turn. I always said "this could be your final run of your life. Is it worth it?". The answer was always resounding F YEA!

Oh man, I had the funniest reply ever but I just couldn't hit post... it crossed a line that even I wont cross here. I'll drop a hint tho. My post included the word mayonnaise. We'll stop right here.

Love the map but even if it showed a 163% chance, the chance of 0% is still much greater than 0%. Kinds like casino odds, MA weenies live in a world where odds are perpetually stacked against. One thing I've noticed since I dropped back in this year is there are some seriously f'd up people who like playing this game and they feel completely normal here. It gets almost too obvious when you take a hiatus. I'm no different. No throwing rocks at glass houses here. But I would NEVER disucss this place or what I post anywhere with anyone for any reason where normal people hang out. Good thing my wife has known there are some things seriously wrong with me before we even got married. She even joked about snow wx being my secret girlfriend. I told her she's the only one for me forever but to hang on until the 0z euro finishes before I prove it. Which makes complete sense with an imminent threat but I was waiting for hr216.

You havent lived until 2-3' of heavy kielbasa has trapped you inside your house for a couple days.

Pretty sure there was a similar event in San Fran recently

The main reason it wont stick to the roads is because weenies have been huffin and puffin and pantin all day. All that hot air has to be accounted for somewhere. Aint nothin free in wx.

Lotteries are 50/50 anyway. You either win or you dont. Just like 12" tomorrow is 50/50. Math is only as complicated as you make it. I'm 100% sure nobody on this planet knows exactly how tomorrow goes. THAT is confidence I can stand behind. This stuff isnt hard people. Sheesh

Tell your friend to get some extra rest and tune up their shovels over the next 5 days. Cuz they gonna need both bigly maybe possibly kinda sorta cuz it's a lock unless it unlocks.

Yea man, I'm diggin the mid range period. Def not expecting clean snow. That's for sure. But the next best thing is a snow/sleet/ice/more snow/sleet/ice followed by deep freeze. I've had a glacier fetish ever since Feb 2007

Now were talkin! Boom

Rain. Sorry mappy mapperton. Maybe next year

I got a $500 christmas bonus and I'm so upset it wasn't $1k that I dont even want the lame 500 anymore.

Sure, if dew points were high and evap cooling already took place. Neither of those apply to the cherry picked panels you posted. I get it. You want it to rain. And it might for a little while before the flip. Make sure you set your alarm to catch the rain before it's gone

True, I like casual fun even in the face of adversity. My ears cant take much more blackboards and fingernails and stuff tho. Chips fall now. Goal posts are practically cemented.

How come nobody is looking at soundings on the nams? If you did you'd realize that the only temp prob is right at the surface when it counts. It's cold right off the deck on up. Not just a little cold either. Mid levels look great. Column is in good shape. It's usually not when the surface is dicey. Does anybody look at soundings anymore?

Now that light rain showers are a lock for tomorrow we can move on to thext one

Yea, I'm with you. I was never one to try my hardest to will the storm away. We clearly insulted the storm since last night so it should be no surprise it wants to take its ball and go home. Insulting NWS is just an added bonus so they can stop hoisting warnings completely

Just dont lose sight that earlier this week there was no storm and now there is one. That's the most important trend because without it, discussing totals is as productive as the majority of washington football team's first round draft picks

I'm waiting for Ji to bring up Dec 2018 (i think that was the year) when we went from a multi-day sw flow firehose on the models that magically morphed into cool/dry.

Like always, it just wants to snow here. Dime a dozen run right there

All localized droughts end up breaking out of it with a boom. That's a fact. Problem is, wx is cruel and it can outlast your life expectancy then dump 3' at your funeral
