    This is one of the most widespread winter storms for the nation period. The guy on Fox Weather (Ari something) said yesterday that he's never covered a system this expansive (in terms of frozen/freezing precipitation) in his 20 year career.

    The fact that Beavis of all people is trying to play peacemaker is sending me...

    They're from the Cincinnati area. A lot of OH folks either don't post often or stay in the OH-specific thread since they tend to have such bad luck with snowstorms compared to the rest of the subforum. But this is their moment, and I can completely understand them being eager to let the whole world know about it.

    lol...

    All I'm saying is that it could always be worse. There's been quite a bit of quibbling over the exact total amounts, but at least folks in this sub are going to have an all-snow event regardless (and for some, their biggest in a long while).

    It could also be worse. Poor guys on the east coast are now sweating mixing issues that will significantly cut down on their originally projected big dog numbers.

    For what little it's worth, snow amounts are busting on the low end so far in OKC and Tulsa. NWS has already lowered their totals. Not because of temps mind you, but because there's just too much dry air. It's causing the opposite issue (which michsnowfreak alluded to earlier) of the snow being that sugary type, which is very inefficient for accumulatiom. It may or may not have any bearing on the eventual outcome for you guys upstream, but just something to be aware of.

    Believe it or not, there are reports of LES in parts of DFW right now. It has to be forming in the lowest 5,000ft (not impossible given how warm the local lakes are and how dense the low-level cold air is), because temps between 850mb and 700mb are still solidly above freezing. The synoptic precip is predominately sleet. Fortunately, we've mostly avoided the freezing rain thus far.

    Hit dogs will holler...

    It teased us as well (along with the GEM). But it would be wild if Baton Rouge gets 2 big snowstorms in back-to-back winters. Unlikely of course, but not impossible as the pattern does support it...

    Embrace your destiny...

    There is plenty of time left climatologically-speaking for some big storms, but the pattern simply isn't looking favorable for y'all up there in the forseeable future (down here in the South & the East Coast are a different story) once this storm passes. It's just looking cold and dry, with perhaps more nickel & dime events.

    This winter definitely has the markings of one that would make you happy but leave others wanting more. No big storms and possibly not even a Winter Storm headline for Wayne County, but constannt cold, almost daily flurries or nickel/dime events and increasingly deep snowcover.

    Yep. Your body acclimates to the warm climate after so long with your blood thinning. I'll wear sweatpants even when it's in the 80s now, and will be freezing to death when it's in the 50s.

    In modern times, 1988, 1995, 2011 and the first 2/3rds of 2012 would compare...
  16. Powerball
    I just take solace knowing that y'all suffer the opposite way when there's an unusual summer heatwave...
  17. Powerball
    It certainly won't feel like it for the next few days (or even week). And yes, I'm extremely salty about it....
  18. Powerball
    Oh yes we would...
  19. Powerball
    Definitely jealous...

    12z NAM was pretty close to being well-phased and amped up. 1005mb low got all the way to Lexington before being shunted eastward. Unfortunately, it seems there isn't going to be enough separation of the PV, nor digging of the Baja low, to prevent a quick transfer (which is good for the OV). Still, the NAM was strong enough that it ended up being a nice run for the Detroit area (there's plenty more snow beyond 84hr).

    I know you said this somewhat in jest, but it's actually really happening...
  22. Powerball
    Don't make 'em like they used to!
  23. Powerball
    They say you have to manifest it to receive it, lol...
  24. Powerball
    What's going to be really funny is if the data from the RECON just makes a bigger mess of things with the model outputs, at least initiially... Nothing would surprise me any more...

    18z NAM's coming back SE.
