Reminds me of trying to start your lawn equipment in the spring when you've failed to do the winter maintenance. You can get the engine to cough and spew but it just won't catch. That's what we're dealing with here.

I'm with ya bro. Us beggars can't be choosers as my mom always said.

News flash

100% full proof weather model

We appreciate your sacrifice for us!

Ditto on checking the weather sites. Worse for me. I lived outside of Buffalo near the present stadium in years 1963-1969. There were times the only way that we could get out of the house to shovel ourselves out was to open the garage door straight up! I think that I'm starting to have major spells of delirium believing the forecasts!

It's not the long range that we are having trouble with. Those have produced, what, three feet of snow for us already. It's the short range and now casts that are disturbing!

I'm starting to lean towards adopting my wife's rule. When I stick my head out the door and see it snowing I'll bite!

Another opportunity 10-14 days out. Whopee! The heck with opportunities...I want some ACTION 10-14 hours out!

A good question is how come the models keep teasing us with winter weather chances 10+ days out and loose them when we get under 5 days? We have to seriously consider asking the question if the models have been programmed by snow weenies instead of scientific based meteorologists.

That's over my head. Hopefully we keep it there and off power lines and roads!

If I was to do a forecast based on birds hitting our bird feeders today, I'd be going out for bread and milk!

Great picture of snow flakes!!!

How SE people seem to choose which model run would give us the most accurate weather prediction with the best chance of snow.

10 days you say? I'd be happy if we'd be able to hit 5 days out on snow events!

Probably belongs in the banter but too good to pass up for here. Originally posted by Prince Frederick Wx in the MA thread in their aptly named Panic Room - Winter 23/24 Edition...

How different would it be if the temps were low enough for this to be all snow???

All discussions over weather technically deal with things that haven't even happened yet.

Same here just north of Kville. We're blessed being in a cold pocket and up to eight degrees below everyone else in town.

I'm getting concerned about how bad the forecast will bust for tonight in my back yard. KINT just reported 66° @ 36%rh. I'm currently at 53° @ 38%rh. NWS is calling for a low of 49° for the Triad, but if I'm already under their current observations by 13°, that will place me around 36° for a low if I extrapolate that difference out. We normally go under NWS published lows by maybe 7° or so, but that 13° is rediculous. I think I may need to rush and cover my wife's fall beans. What say you?
