  1. late 70's early 80's fun period.
  2. remember '83 well. What was the high on Christmas 1982?
  3. IZZI itchin to throw up the watch: COMING OUT OF THE BRUTAL COLD SPELL MEANS THAT PAVEMENT TEMPS WILL BE WELL BELOW FREEZING AND AIR TEMPS DURING THE SNOW SHOULD BE IN THE TEENS, SO SNOW WILL ACCUMULATE IMMEDIATELY ON PAVEMENT AND LIKELY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS. SOME OF THE HIGHEST TRAVEL IMPACT EVENTS EACH WINTER ARE SUB-ADVISORY AND OFTEN LESS THAN 1 INCH SNOWFALLS WITH VERY COLD TEMPS AND THIS SYSTEM DEFINITELY HAS THAT LOOK TO IT.
  4. I'd issue a watch with this afternoons package to be on the safe side. All kidding aside, given the wind and cold with this event you can see why the early watches were issued. If we had a foot with this thing...good luck.
  5. The Euro is solely responsible for many NWS offices wearing a bag over their head tonight.
  6. this argument was not helped overnight, i see. Good news is they can run with a WWA and most folks won't think much about it.
  7. oddly, i still think this will be a memorable event and NWS offices will have been justified in the early lead time watches.
  8. it would only be fitting to happen to Alek's rig in 5" of snow and a spot on call.
  9. reduced to looking for table scraps from the 18Z NAM
  10. LOT with another nice write up. If you get bummed with the back and forth of the model hugger crowd it provides a nice reality check when deciphering all the information used to hone in on a forecast with an event like this.
  11. I tend to think you'll be spot on or bust badly low. Either way,
  12. Of course it's a risk. But given the potential and the time of year you need to get the word out. It was a concerted effort to make the public aware. The normal tom,dick, and jenny isn't looking at the 18Z European model. Let's face it a widespread 2-5" event with below zero wind chills and 45mph winds the days before Christmas is a major hazard for joe public.
