we took another L

without question. And the morning thump, which is now a pile of slop maybe a frozen crusty reminder until April.

Pouring Rain. What a mess.

LOT threw in the towel. Morning burst was nice, but in the end looks  like event will come up well short of expectations.

Short term guidance is definitely giving that indication

LOT already making those adjustments with downing totals

For real. I was playing Storm Chaser on the playground in first grade with my friends... Idk when I started caring about winter weather too but now it's honestly my favorite. Can't really justify chasing quite yet after I got myself hit last year so this is all I've got. It had better fucking snow tomorrow.

stared at snow in the lights for hours as a kid. Best Christmas gift at 5 was a weather radio. checked out every tornado/hurricane book in the library in grade school-at once. They came looking for me. By college I was calling and talking to skilling about every incoming storm. Dude, took about every call. By early adulthood I despised the late great Jerry Taft and his 1-3" storm calls....than the internet came and I discovered this chaotic lunacy.

You're right, we're definitely all a little neurodivergent in here 

I'm figuring 6" easy. Not going to sweat it. In RC I trust.

Why 

obv looking for a laugh, but heck it could be cloudy  and 35 like the last 30 days. And of course, if this is your hobby my assertion is correct.

you people are nuts.

Suspect it'll be my biggest most "real" winter storm in a number of years.In excess of 6" with bitter cold air funneling in after. It'll look as January should.

The euro is going hard on a 2-3 hour period of rain in the immediate metro between 18-21z tomorrow. 

LOT AFD:

IN FACT, WARMING TEMPERATURES INTO THE MID TO   
UPPER 30S SOUTH OF I-80 DURING THE DAY FRIDAY SHOULD SUPPORT A   
TRANSITION OVER TO JUST RAIN FOR A SEVERAL HOUR PERIOD. WE COULD   
EVEN SEE RAIN AT LEAST BRIEFLY MIX IN WITH THE SNOW AS FAR NORTH   
AS THE I-80 TO I-88 CORRIDORS INTO MIDDAY FRIDAY AS TEMPERATURES   
BRIEFLY WARM A BIT ABOVE FREEZING.

06z euro a little drier. Wonder if it will be like last system where after it occludes deformation zone starts to lose steam. 

it did do that. Got a solid 3" in a few hours and expected several more hours of heavy snow and defo band collapsed like a cheap suit.

Comments in this thread don’t make sense. 75% saying it’s great. 25% saying it’s terrible.

 

zero snow fall maps posted 

it's called fear.

Sad, congrats palmguy

your 6" call still in place?

Going to be an all time glacier once the snowpack freezes solid in a 7:1 ratio mass. 

for those that complain snow doesn't stay on the ground for long periods of time anymore

RC's PM AFD and WSW across the LOT CWA will soothe the pain
