My take on the severe weather that was supposed to happen but really didn't get it's act together. Social Media, TV were saying it could happen and let the public know. But it seems the public now won't believe the media if there is a real threat in the near future, and there could be property damage and injuries, and loss of life from not heeding warnings. I understand forecasts aren't perfect. But if the models are hinting at something like severe weather, we should all pay attention and take the necessary precautions.

While you are correct that we should all pay attention, there was little reason IMO for public/private businesses to shut doors at 1-2pm.  While you cant put a real value on loss of life, the signs just really didn't look THAT ominous.  Secondly for those of us who had to buck it up and ride the storm out from our cars/work whatevs.... knowing that the real show wasn't to start after rush hour (here in east central/eastern locals), that wasn't a good look and one where distrust can fester from.  Tough calls, but I agree, the misinformation shown on soc. media, didnt help AT ALL.

Yep, there's a lot of places like that, same with these YouTube Idiots like Ryan hall and Max velocity. They're f****** up everything.  

Ive watched Ryan, and hes not too bad, but yeah some of them are really just as good/useful as giving me a Youtube channel as I can spout off the same crap they do w/ little added value.

Low of 49 with .09” of rainfall. Good morning to all, on what should be a very busy weather day. Some people in here may see some of their heaviest snowfall rates of the season later tonight, albeit brief. Beginning to think things won’t be too too dramatic up this way with regard to severe potential but we’ll see what mother nature stirs up. Timing of the main line looks to be pretty late in the day for those of us here in the east, not sure how much pops off out ahead of that, as there seems to be some conflicting forecasts there. In any case, batten down the hatches!

On way up to cabin Friday night, once we got to wellsboro, it started to snow, and by the time we got to Tyoga Country club, it was easily the hardest snow I've seen this year. Huge flakes, and from there to Ansonia was a crawl.  Up on top at cabin ended up w/ 1-2" depending on where you were.  Cut wood saturday morning in a snow covered landscape.  Was nice.  

regarding today, yeah its been showing up consistently on some models and I'd think NC and NE Pa stand best chances for some late season shenanigans.  hoping we stay cloudy long enough to mitigate sever to just a nice squall line w/ Tboomers

I've already been approached in the office this morning for my thoughts. I politely declined. One team member spoke up and said that "the weather people they follow on Facebook said that some of us aren't going to make it through the day."

I replied "well, go with that I guess." 

While i've not gotten the levels of grief that you have, whenever they as me about weather here, I just say "its up in the air".  They give cockeyed stare but most know why I do it.

S&S is a problem.  And people can't sift through their BS like we can.

I called them out the other month.  Not sure if I got the ax or not.  Asshats are just there for the clicks.

Hey, I was just in Etown a couple hours ago. We drop/hook dirty for sanitized tankers at Quala on Industrial Rd.

Not enough intensity up that way. I noticed it on the drive to work...the precip is heavier south of Rt. 30 and it's been just enough to flip it over from time to time. 

Pouring snow down in parts of Maryland and Virginia under the most intense bands. 

Yeah.  as you suggested fringe folks dont have the rates for flippage.  I expected nothing as I shared yesterday, but some mood flakes always make me smile...no matter when I see em.  

Save a snowball for me down on Turk hill

Not sure if Etown has seen a flake yet.  

Well there is one here everyday but I do not count. 

Crazy how just W and S of here is getting in on it, and nada here...so far.

Last evenings Tornado warned storm pics taken on 81 and 322. Not the best pics I seen better ones on Facebook.

 

Pics are great (as a weather geek), but glad it wasnt worse.  

Sure felt raw out there this am, but the grass was looking appreciative of the precip as its starting to green up for me

Ah the classics, can't go wrong there.  There's a somewhat newer place you might like, took my wife there a few weeks back.  It's call Hi-Fi, a swanky little Japanese music bar type place.  They are in the back of Issei Noodle on Orange St. and I believe they serve Issei's fare.  Anyway, hip little spot.  Very expensive cocktail menu, like abnormally so, but worth a peak.

My wife loves Dipco's long island iced tea.  Dont let your significant drink more than 2 on an empty stomach....trust me. That was ugly.

I'm down for most anything Asian, so I'll have to tell my wife about Issei.  I'll pass on the cocktail though.  Maybe she can try one. Thanks for the heads up.

Thing is, I don't recall anyone saying winter was over? I made a post about what other mets were saying from other subs but I certainly never said it was finished. Is the fat lading warming up? Absolutely she is. But while warming up, the game continues on.

Well...they either implied or wished by some....my post had nothing to do with you saying as such, but yes i did include your ex. into the convo.

Point to be made, any and all can be wrong once in a while....NO exceptions.

This type of scenario with some back end snow has been showing on many models the last couple of days.

Maybe we see at least a little snow TV in the LSV?

beer bet says no.  Still gonna be a rude awakening....

THIS is why I try to suppress the early chatter of the "its over" crowd.  This happens almost every stinkin year. 

Wishing for sustained warmth in early March, is like wishing for 4 weeks of nice snow cover.  It can happen, and just did, but a rarity, and not something worth complaining over when it doesnt happen.

Meeting a friend in Lancaster for dinner tomorrow - any suggestions on where to sit outside? Downtown. 

Southern Market is really cool.  not outdoor, but its an international style venue, w/ many different cultural goodies to pick from. Rally nice bar in the center that'll suite you well...me thinks.

Even with these nice days, I would still check ahead to see who has their outdoor space operating this early. With that said, South County Brewing (site of the old Pressroom) should have a nice outdoor area back on the ‘ol Steinman Park patio. Also, don’t think they have any outdoor seating but if you haven’t been Southern Market is a really cool spot. 

took my wife there a couple weeks back.  Really like that place. I also agree that a phone call for outside seating might be smart, as they may not be ready for outdoor service.

31 degrees and a frost. Next week, just deal with what Mother Nature sends us.

River at a warning level so no fishing yet this year yet . 

I'm headed to cabin this weekend for work weekend.  From what i've seen much ice is gone from Pine.  You should start to drop soon.  

Not sure there's enough of a pattern change to worry about flooding, but hoping drought concerns are mitigated. 

Gonna be what its gonna be.

Happy spring fling all.  Didnt mean to come off as a jackwagon, but its seemed a bit tense as we transition away from winter and what's next.  Every year the first warmup seems to give false hope, and we all should know that its too soon to "call it", let alone squabble over uncertainty.  

Lol'in at the back and forth with the 

its over.....

no....it's not

this met is waving his flag, so it must be....

Its been cold, must welcome the warmth.

Friendly reminder to all sans bias....

1. It's over when Mo Nature says so.  Always has been always will be.  

2. Like it or not, plenty of signs have been showing for the St. Pattys period for shenanigan's.  Doesn't mean snow, but it'll be a kick in da arse cold compared to the spring fling we all are about to enjoy. 

3.Even those of us who love snow and cold. Yesterday was nice to be outside. That's undeniable no matter how big a sno hound one can be.  

4. Someones "ex" favorite met tossed some weather cookies of his own and blew some events (due to his bias, or just getting the call flat wrong?) 

5. It's March 9. Mets and maps have all been wrong enough this year for me to discount nothing.  Last weeks ens guidance said winter was over whle Ops said hold my beer.  Look where we are a week later.  PLENTY of cold/snow showing up.  

6. for those anxiously waiting for spring warmth, you can wish it on all you want but that wont change the date on the calendar.  Your time is coming but for your sanity's sake, tug back on the reins a bit.  

Ok....carry on.

Lol, the 0z Euro supports the folklore!

Hopefully this upcoming window can produce at least one more trackable snow chance.

I want 6.2 more inches of snow at MDT this season in order get the seasonal total to the 30 inch climo average.

The 0z Euro would deliver it. Give me this to verify & then I would be good with moving on to Spring.

Next weekend surely looks to get a trough back in the east.  It's been showing on the LR guidance for a while now, so were getting close enough to think its legit cold.  Just need to see how things line up.  As Mag suggested, GFS/Euro worlds apart in evolution for 3/16 event, so that raises a flag. Looks like you got one more period to track though.

Yep just saw my first lightning in quite a while. Heavy batch getting ready to roll through. Our dogs don’t love it either. 

add me to the first tboomer list.  nice rain and rumbles/flashes last night

I think drought talk will suppress as much as snow talk has.

Speaking of snow, look at 0z Euro.  Blizz may get one last hurrah if it has a clue.  Still looking just before or around green beer day.
