i think that's 10 blocks north of him. DAB. Talk about sour luck.

bettin I get more snow tonight than yesterday.

Good idea. One thing I'll say the touch of snow and ice we got yesterday is very picturesque. An inch or so of fluff would only make it more so,

From Quad Cities PM AFD: 2) NEXT SNOWSTORM IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. huh?

good for them. Weather going to weather.

I was going to say that, but was afraid doing so would guarantee it verifying.

Thread. Rails. Off.

anybody know where I can access the ICON?

perhaps. or a pattern breaker. Time will tell. But does look like something is on the horizon for someone in the midwest around the new year.

FWIW....THE ECMWF/GFS BOTH SHOW A STRONG CYCLONE TRACKING INTO THE MIDWEST FROM THE SOUTHERN/CENTRAL PLAINS CENTERED AROUND DECEMBER 30. - per quad cities AFD

If we don't get some snow soon, I may have to head over to the covid thread for some more light and cheerful banter.

actually hints at a small potential this weekend FWIW. And I'm guessing overall it's throwing ...t at a wall given our weather doldrums. But he does provide a speck of hope: ATTENTION TO CLOSE OUT THE WEEKEND AND INTO THE FINAL WEEK OF 2020 THEN TURNS TO A POTENTIAL PACIFIC BORNE SYSTEM THAT COULD BRING A RISK FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDWEST ON SUNDAY. THERE'S ACTUALLY PRETTY DECENT ENSEMBLE SUPPORT FOR THE GENERAL BIG PICTURE IDEA OF A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKING ACROSS THE REGION, SO LOW TO MID CHANCE POPS APPEAR WARRANTED. GIVEN LIKELY MILDER STARTING POINT GOING INTO SUNDAY, COULD SEE RAIN OR A RAIN SNOW MIX TURN OVER TO ALL SNOW LATER SUNDAY-SUNDAY NIGHT AS MUCH COLDER AIR ADVECTS BACK IN. STILL LOTS OF INHERENT UNCERTAINTY AT THIS RANGE AND TIME TO SORT OUT THIS PERIOD, BUT WE'LL BE WATCHING CLOSELY IN THE COMING DAYS. MEDIUM-LONG RANGE GUIDANCE IS ALSO POINTING TOWARD A MORE ACTIVE WINTRY PATTERN POTENTIALLY CONTINUING BEYOND DAY 7. CASTRO

our day is coming

a voice of reason.

^ December 2020 in a nutshell. "pound town" and "0.7" in the same sentence.

it's only a matter of time.

I'm getting concerned about the sun angle once we do get some snow in February. Sidenote: if there was ever a time to ride the Bastardi "rubberband theory" it is now....summary; the weather will only pull so far in one direction for so long (warm/dry) before the band has to snap back even farther in the other direction(cold/wet)...not sure this applies in today's modern world of climate change where places like Chicago could become the Mojave desert in time.

ban him.

does this line up with Brian D's call for Christmas back on the 4th of July?

you just did. and it missed you to the north leaving you with backside slush.

as long as when winter kicks in it ends on March 10 or thereabouts. 70 day winters with strict cut offs are okay by me.

so rainer for Alek....snow for everyone else. Winter is on.

^ I wouldn't be shocked to see a New Orleans special.

I'll take my 2" of slush and run. Wasn't really banking on winter until after Christmas anyway. So this would be just a bonus event.
