Who’s got the cigarettes?

Tonight is the first time we’ve been in range where I felt it was worth paying much attention other than to say the pattern looks great which I’ve said multiple times. WRT analysis I’ll add when I think it’s necessary but y’all have been all over it. The next generation is stepping up. And good for ya. I’m tired.

Damn UK at 120 looks like

For reference

@Ji you probably didn’t notice because it was during the dry slot and not much was happening. We didn’t lose much precip to sleet. Maybe it cost us 1”. But it was off and on light sleet for a while. We did lose 6” or so to the dry slot which is why we had about 24” and not the 30”+ further west and north did. And the sleet was a function of the same thing that caused the dry slot so related. I’m certainly not complaining about the 24” we got. It was an awesome storm but remember they had us in the 30”+ zone for a bit but the warm mid levels pushed further NW than expected.

No 1996. Sunday afternoon. During the dry slot. Light sleet for 2-3 hours. While the cowboys were kicking the snot out of the Eagles in the playoffs in what was Randall’s last game in Philly. I remember.

I was in Herndon VA and it did sleet for a few hours but it was during the lull so it didn’t really cost us much accumulation.

Sleet got all the way into central MD in the 1996 storm too. Not saying that happens. Just saying this ggem run reminds me of that storm.

Ggem surface reminds me of 1996 with the initial extension of the trough to the north of the wave ip into KY before the transfer to the coast and an arctic high in the way.

Regardless of what the goofus says or any solution for one particular run, this is by far the best pattern we’ve seen since this god forsaken snow drought began in 2017. It looks very similar to past patterns that lead to some epic periods. This isn’t hyperbole, the analogs are lit up with our best snow periods of the last 30 years! It’s time to cash in. And I don’t mean eke out 4 or 5”. Yes I realize that could happen and no I’m not kicking a 4” snow out of bed. But we’ve had 9 years of epic suck. We’re due for a real run. And this pattern could do it. Let’s end this shit right now! Cash in all our “we’re due index” chips and put them on the damn table. It’s time.

If the GFS came out after the Euro/ggem/UK we wouldn’t even pay attention to it

It’s too far out for this

1.8, 1.2, .6

@HighStakes you need to move to the top of the mountain
