Jan 31st - 33rd Storm Obs and Disco like it's 1979
Bob Chill replied to Bob Chill's topic in Mid Atlantic
If you really think about it and be honest with yourself, this event has evolved (or devolved) in a very typical and common fashion. I for one am the opposite of surprised. Once guidance centered the jack up in NJ/PA it fit the mold perfectly. This is an overplayed re-run and exaclty why I was "hoping" I would at least crack 6" if things take a turn. -

A ruler with a built in math equation adjustment? Yea, that's pretty idiotic with a side order of dum. -

Don't worry about that MG. Even if the mix line arrives earlier, all the good front side precip will be over. Depth of mid level cold is really good starting off. -

You just gave me my next million $ idea. Weenie breakfast cereal will be on the shelves in 3 months. -

Anytime decent green returns "cloud up" the beam shadow, I know it's still going to be good for a time. -

Dude, that ruler is waaaay too vertical. Have you learned nothing since joining amwx? -

Radarscope for apps and CoD nexrad for websites are fan faves unless something new has come along -

Yellows in gtown/gburg. Weenies' second favorite color behind orange. -

Mini band #2 setting in. Should crack 2.5cms with this one. My new strategy when my yard is obviously not getting jacked is switching to metric. Coping mechanism. Working brilliantly right now. Should easily crack 5cms before noon. -

Oh, it was pretty cold at the surface but as soon as I saw problems in the mids inching closer I knew it was over for me. At least for a big storm. I invested very little time in that storm. Literally less than an hour over however many days I looked at it. I'm not a retired weenie or anything. I'm just not investing jack squat into anything unless it's substantial and practically a lock. My life is too short to keep wasting so much time on something that finds every way possible to disappoint -

I've already said "this is the way" to several people so I won't repeat myself verbatim. THIS IS THE FOOKIN WAY MAN! -

Damn dudes. Did not expect this quality so quickly. Folks just north of me ( @WxUSAF) will be all jacked up here shortly. It's kinda dumpin for just after onset -

Ah! Your wife does the heavy lifting and you take credit publicly. When did you start running for office? -

First area of decent lift/snowgrowth overhead. Classic scene with legit flakes and lowering viz -

This is awesome. I had the most random image of you standing there in the kitchen with glasses on next to a dry erase board holding a laser pointer. -

Typically with waa snow, peak rates/snowgrowth hits when warmer mid level air is getting close to messing things up so my brain says final 2 hours before tapering off. This is a complex event though so that rule of thumb may not apply. This is a very technical way of me saying I have no idea. I'll guess 12-2pm -

Random pocket of dry air probably and it will be gone pretty quickly -

Nightmare #1 scenario off the table. Woke up, ground wasn't bare, and radar matches expectations. Must have started early here. Somewhere around a half inch already. I'm rooting for @CAPE. If anyone deserves a deform boom in a regionwide storm, it's him. Not that wx cares but I do Eta: you'll notice I totally contradicted myself from the first post in this thread. Seeing snow fall laying in bed is like drugs and makes me a little emotional. If the snow suddenly shuts off in my yard, I no longer care about CAPE -

Storm blew its load and occluded by that panel. All the good stuff happens during the deepening phase. By hr 72 it's a tired old man ready for bed. Kinda like me right now -

I'm not even looking at the panels. Lol. Saw matt's post and the replay button was pressed in my memory banks. 6-8" storm works just fine. I'd like the purple dingleberry on the snowmap matt posted to oooze down our way but good enough as is -

Just add another nina ns hybrid to the list that somehow hits south and north far better than in the middle. This is the big worry scenario but I wont let it ruin the cold snow snow tomorrow -

It was a really strange storm. I ended up with 11" but the way it happened wasnt really something I considered until it was happening. Not a big sized storm or anything classic with how it went down. Just a very rare reverse bust for the lucky people. -

No doubt. And a hilarious avatar to go with it. I did run into one on a different interest forum that killed me. Dude's name was AmishRakeFights and had an avatar of 2 Amish dudes in a standoff holding rakes. Maybe it's a reference to something and I don't know it but for reasons I dont really understand, I literally cracked up whenever he posted -

Have you been in this sub during winters before? There's a long history of people dropping in to tell us how it works in these parts. Especially when their yard is an obvious crush zone. You popping in from harlem telling someome how it is who's been around this board for like 20 years is looked at as being disrespectful. It's not nefarious or mean. It's just calling people out and letting them know to knock it off out of respect and courtesy
