definitely aligns with our new climatologically favored time of the year...right near GHD. 22% chance of verification this far out.

start the thread: call it a hybrid clipper.

for the record it was not Bo who fired the first shot. Though he did say the thread was boring. For the record I don't mind being a boring circle jerk. Perhaps some good natured "poking the bear" is what we need to change our karma.

The great irony of this thread is it was started by a Chicago guy. Storm dumped a foot of snow to the west of us and to the east. Didn't really see any crying about it in what has been a down year. And I would hope once it was clear this was not a chicago event no one trolled the thread posting goofy commentary about fake model runs et al. In fact, I followed it as I revel in other folks hitting the jackpot and even saw some congratulatory posting from some of the windy city group. Than, someone decides to fire a shot across the bow (no pun intended) at chi town posters and now thread has regressed into a "he said,she said" POS. Sorta funny, actually. BTW...where's Toronto?

one guy gets 300" of snow every season, the other guy gets a rain/snow mix while just 10 miles from his lakeshore haven they can get a foot. Destined for a clash. Been coming for years. Sorry, folks. Too tempting.

to go along with storm there is this from LOT today: "A GENERALLY ACTIVE AND CONTINUED COLDER THAN NORMAL PATTERN IS FORECAST DURING THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK, THANKS IN LARGE PART TO AN ESTABLISHED EASTERN NORTH AMERICA UPPER TROUGH WITH SHORT WAVES GYRATING AROUND THE CENTER LOCATED NEAR HUDSON BAY. ONE SUCH WAVE AND COLD REINFORCEMENT IS PREDICTED SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT, AND THEN RECENT GLOBAL GUIDANCE RUNS HAVE INDICATED ONE SUNDAY NIGHT OR MONDAY, THAT'S SORT OF A PACIFIC/ CLIPPER HYBRID. EACH OF THESE WOULD HAVE POTENTIAL FOR SNOW, MAYBE MORE SO THE LATTER OF THE TWO, AS WELL AS LIKELIHOOD OF SENDING TEMPERATURES DOWNWARD AGAIN. HOWEVER, NOT SURPRISINGLY CONFIDENCE ON THE TRACK AND DETAILS OF SUCH FEATURES THIS MANY DAYS OUT IN THIS PATTERN IS LOW. PLUS, ENSEMBLE FORECASTS OF SNOW PLACEMENT AND TIMING REMAIN ON THE LOWER SIDE FOR 5-6 DAYS OUT. THIS IS NAMELY WHY THE NATIONAL BLEND OF MODELS (NBM) POPS USED IN OUR FORECAST FOR THE SATURDAY-MONDAY PERIOD ARE STILL ON THE LOWER END." grasping at straws people.

hope springs eternal. Thanks, for that.

^ Love Cleveland in April.

mulligan?

better than nothing.

forgot this is actually the same storm that dusted me Friday evening.

Checks LOT 7 day forecast. No mention of precipitation through period. checks in on Ohio thread. Pours strong cup of black coffee.

.....

Yup. Unlike last year pretty much prepared for non-snow year. Just hope if that's the case we can grab an early spring. They can't all be good years.

FWIW...I'll take a win on my call of .7.

looks dry as a bone...or bad...depending on your preference.

mud covered. success.

now I am in a bad mood. a snowstorm and a winning football team.

it looks like it should be snowing.

thanks for this. It maybe all I get snow wise through the rest of the month.

at this rate I might get an inch and a half over the weekend.

beggars can't be choosers.

I'm guessing the new NAM didn't up my back yard totals to 4-6".

over performer on the table.
