Wont be as fun this time but man would it be nice to wrap up with a doozy.

I'll stay invested for another week, before I start spring cleaning the cave. It's been a good winter based on snow OTG, but we've tracked a good bit, and have not had great returns, so I'm gettin a little tired. any of the next couple events throw down some white gold, I'll be giving a solid A for overall appeal, while knowing how lucky we really were for the 5 week solid deep ass winter feel that we had.

+'s zonal flow makes this less "diggy" and as you state, as long as HP doesnt get to easily displaced, one would think front end potential has merit. themrally it looks to be decent SLP rides the baroclinic zone -'s Its late season and based on flow, one could see this eeking south (as well as tendencies of this winter so far) Based on climo and NAO being solidly pos, one could also see how the warm nose that is evident, can do its dirty work (just like last weekend) and can nuke our precious thermals)

lol. just saw the same. Part of me wonders if the trailing vort on Friday ends up being the real deal for this weekend. Reminder that this is what just happened last week. Lead vort faded and set stage for trailing. Huh. Atmospheric memory for the win.

Go look at nooner GFS snow maps through next week.... She's tryin to go out w/ a bang....

We surely are like minded.

I agree and thought the same last week. Cloudy has been king, and when there is snow cover, that makes me giddy for pack retention. It's nice to see the sun today, but hope we get a couple more whacks at winter before spring peeps start peepin.

We all know it is absolutely true, but when folks throw it into disco into Dec/Jan convos, while it might have a smidge of truth, its often snow haters overreaching IMO. We can read the room as to whos who in the love/hate relationship w/ snow.

On way to office, I saw snowmobile tracks in "normal" spots. There was enough that they were out last night. Surely not the best conditions, but enough. I thought about going for a rip tonight if it holds from todays cold....but theres that sun angle stuff n all so maybe not. We do have slightly more in Ephrata though.

and you know we tip our hat to you Mr. Regtagger. Dont envy you guys, but do appreciate yas. Hell I just stuck up for WGAL as they are gettin trolled by asshats who are nothing short of clueless. Keyboard warriours are a dime a dozen, while clueless to what it takes to pin down a forecast. CTP just covered all bases for thurs/friday in their disco. Guessing they are a little gunshy after GFS led the way.

well said. noone in here should be discouraged for sharing thoughts/feelings as long as they throw a modicum of reasoning behind it and dont troll with the "aint happening" crap. They know who they are. A lot of the fun here is being able to throw our thoughts into events and not have to deal w/ public/work/etc. Lewes delaware 23.4" and still snowing. oh so close. Chesco at 10" and still snowing.

atta boy. Now it can bring some of the fun back into snow for you, even if we are winding down. Looks like we have 7-10 days of winter left, then springs gonna spring IMO. Ens guidance looking warm in east after first week of march. Tellies dont look horrid after first week of march, but as you know all too well....its takes a lot more anomalous looks to overcome spring starting to show up.

Sorry to hear bud. You know your secrets are safe in here. You are correct, its a lose lose proposition, and I like you am our weather guy here at work. I'm just gonna say it....social media and some technologies/access to too much info is possibly a bigger problem than ever, because the answer to anything in life....is a few buttons away. Thats really dangerous. BTW, nice call :). Your call sat in my gut like a bad buritto, and while i didnt want to agree, i couldnt ignore it, as like you I've been around long enough to know climo and how the model tendencies etc often play out (and they did here). I set my bar at 8-12" because I thought we in norlanco were close enough to the goods, that we'd not be robbed of coastal influence enough to miss out. I knew on Saturday, that much of the day was looking like a waste, as thermals were marginal enough and w/o rates, we were screwed. Mesos showed that starting saturday afternoon. I'd be just like you. Sittin there by myself, to make your point, but they can pound sand movin forward (since you are in HR, you can find an eloquent way to say that...I'm in sales, so I'd not be so kind..). If they want to know the weather....I tell em all here at the office....."its up in the air"

Yeah, I dont follow DT but am wondering why its crickets as we always hear abt his 2/3/final calls. lol

He might have been right, but maybe for the wrong reasons. Just like last storm that "wasnt happening" as he touted (no 50/50 low i think was part of his blabberings for that one). We did really well for that NON storm. My biggest gripe is the chest puffin when some get it right when not owning up to when they were wrong. We were really close to a biggie here. Last minute (and expected by some of us - like models all too often due, was the rug puller for this chance. IVT did its thing and gave many CTP'rs enough to not feel jipped. This storm happened-and is still happening. We were on the edge and it shifted east enough for bust potential to be realized. Levittown 21" and still snowing. I'll take my 4" nws total and am ok w/ it, and not fret over what a model said could have been.

that donut whole over my house on mesos from saturday was.......spot on. See what i did there?

Eyeballing 3" at my house and maybe 4-5 at my sons in Ephrata. Sucks to be so close to something so big. It happens, onward...

Shouldn’t have said anything. Lightened up now but still steady light snow.

Best snow of event right now.

Nice. Yeah I’m goi g to stay up as long as I can. Beautiful out there. Enjoy.

I’m around 1” here. Snowing nicely.

You and I both know betting against mesos is usually long odds. I knew we’d correct east but thought we were safe enough for my 12” bar to have a chance. 25 miles east of me may still get it. That’s not a big bust imo.

Oh and ground caving has commenced.

I guess my liver thanks today’s events as I thought I’d be day drinking once things got going, but decided to wait till we flipped. I’m too old and smart to power drink to “catch up”, so I now have nice winter ambience on YouTube and just poured first cocktail. Time to enjoy.

Funny thing is that despite what almost was…5” is a nice event no matter. I set my bar at 12”. I’m now adjusting down to 4-6”. I’ll take that any and every day no matter what the models said coulda happened.
