I'll report back. I would be about 10-15 miles north.

Looks like the GFS still gets most of us around a foot before the change.

I think the February 2010 storms were during a wall-to-wall cold regime where it didn't warm up until the weekend after the 9th. Here's my message to the public related to the roads: If you're not forced to be on the roads on Sunday, stay home. Football is at 300 and 630 PM, run to the store today to get your beer and snacks and stay off the roads. Monday will be an issue with the blowing and the drifting, the blowing and the drifting, but I suspect Governor Shapiro will use the space lazers his folk apparently have to torch the roads clean.

Sleet, eh it is what it is. Rain. Give me a break.

PA thread checking-in 1) Congratulations! 2) My son was born in February and his mom had to be readmitted for infection a few days later. They discharged her during a snow storm (State College) and I had to take a week-old out in the snow on roads that were not at all ideal in a Hyundai Elantra. I had never known nervousness up until that point. I understand your concern more than you know lol. Make them keep you. And then raid the vending machines.

Kinda don't hate 12" of snow with 2-3" of sleet followed by this cold. Olympics start in two weeks, time to get the kids out on ice with sleds for some backyard luge.

If the NAM is right, you'll probably need to shovel sleet twice to avoid throwing your back out lol.

I may go full tilt is it's seven degrees outside and fuckin raining :LOL:

Currently three degrees. Going to light my bed on fire here shortly.

Out this way, I had seen/read a start of just after midnight. I honestly never care about when it wraps up because once it's started, I kinda tune out and go on about my life. If football ends before the snow, I'll be shocked.

You said goodnight already. Hands off the keys. Or does somebody need to say dobru noc?

All my homies hate the NAM.

Shut up

I will say this: It's cold. No matter what happens, whatever falls is staying and I am issuing a "Dog Balls Spatula" warning effective right now until probably February 2nd. I'll try to care enough in a few hours to articulate a graphic.

I remember there being enough sleet packed into the ground that my car was stuck into a glacier for three days. Then my landlord sent his dumbass sons to my apartment parking lot to free cars from the ice by using 2x4s and my left rear sent a wooden plank into an idiots ankle. I probably told that story on your Wunderground blog lol.

From the MA thread

I think that's the least of their concerns. A large bust given our current social environment where the people have just gotten more and more toxic, and you're going to have public emergencies when something actually does occur because we're crying "Wolf" too much.

Weathermen gonna take one on the chin here.

I'm taking my motorcycle out for a ride at 10 PM on Sunday, Shapiro can fight me lol.

I fear my prediction of "trace" may bust a teency bit low...

At some point, you have to.

Three days ago we were dismissing the GFS and now we are hoping it verifies. What a turnaround.
