    It would be funny and sad if I somehow got more snow out of this storm than Chicago...

    GHD 2011 was the last time there was a major snowstorm that held serve for an entire week.

    I would definitely have to plan a trip home if the 00z GGEM happened on Christmas day. About as perfect of a blizzard setup for Detroit as you can get.

    Although Philadelphia only saw a general 3-6", it was literally puking snow during that front-end thump (lasted about 2 hours). Cotton ball sized flakes too.

    No plans on moving back to Michigan. I'll probably be in Texas for a little bit, then move someplace else for a different experience. The 2nd biggest perk for me with WFH is that you don't have to anchor yourself down to any one location.

    Thanks! It was really luck (right place, right time). I had fully expected to be out of work for several months or longer.

    I was WFH (temporarily) since March at my last job. Got laid off in October and 1.5 months later managed to land a permanent WFH job.

    I'm going off the model trends. Just 48 hours ago, they were expected to see at least a foot of snow. But if you buy the latest model runs (which have been trending warmer and NW), they'll be lucky to get a couple of inches. Meanwhile, areas 60 - 80 miles NW of the city could be pushing 2 feet.

    Things could be worse though. As bad as your situation is, I would be pissed if I were a weenie in Philly right now.

    You should have left yesterday, definitely a $$$$ move. Now that I'm WFH as well, I might start doing the same thing for big/historic storms.

    00z NAM suggests the bleeding at least may have stopped, as it's inched towards an earlier phase and shifted westward.

    It's true. Even the Mid-Atlantic can go several years without seeing much (if any snow), and then they get hit with those massive Nor'easters. Seeing 1-3" or even 3-6" of snow is pretty "meh" for much of the Midwest since it happens frequently. It's when you get the double digit amounts that excitement levels shoot through the roof.

    It's all relative. Down south, they get thrilled about seeing any amount of snow.

    They have been plenty of apps runners in November. They were just glorified cold rain storms. That said, I'm hedging my bets on the near-miss phase and strung out POS to the east. .

    You can't fight fate.

    The NHC upgraded Michael to a Cat 5 post-mortem. No reason why they wouldn't do the same for Zeta if conditions were met.

    Nothing severe here, although looking at the radar, the line of storms definitely exploded SW-ward like ripping off a band-aid.
  18. Powerball
    Looks like storms are already firing up in West Central MI and over Lake Michigan. Definitely something to watch for the afternoon hours.

    Point being, saying that higher education is "less essential" than K-12 education is ridiculous.

    If you had the choice between hiring 2 people for an administrative role with the same exact experience (clean background, can pass a drug test, etc.), except one has a HS Diploma and the other has a Bachelor's Degree, which person would you choose?

    FWIW, this was the original Day 1 outlook...

    Looking at recent frames on the infrared satellite, there is a bit of warming with the cloud tops

    It'll probably dive more SE when it crosses Lake Michigan. We'll have better luck with whatever activity pops up in Northern / Central WI.

    Their leaders are finally admitting what those protests in Michigan with the confederate flags were all about... Michigan Commissioner Blames Black People For Virus, Uses N-Word "When asked by a colleague why he wasn’t wearing a mask before the meeting on Tuesday, Leelanau County road commissioner Tom Eckerle said “well this whole thing is because of them (racial slur) down in Detroit,"

    Well, it is exurban Georgia...
