Alaska was most definitely not ice-free. The mountains were glaciated, while the interior was ice-free because it was a desert. Moisture sources were farther removed due to much lower sea levels. 

You’re right, I should’ve said /largely/ glacier free, especially in contrast to mid-latitude regions.

I don't know. I'm starting to believe that we are entering the next ice age.

Alaska was glacier free during the last ice age and roughly averaged two degrees WARMER than today. I guess even in extreme long term patterns, a warmer Alaska meant a colder CONUS.

00z GFS

That’s an enormous precipitation field - is that a result of the Great Wall of High Pressure from coast to coast in Canada?

Not sure how to compress .mov clips so that I can post beyond a second of video, but here’s a couple still shots of my backyard as the 35dBZ returns were overhead. 

Stole this from the New England thread, but it’s interesting to see Des Moines ahead of Rochester, NY in snowfall.

While I doubt this is a big storm, potential for a wave to ride the front seems to be gaining steam. Could be a very cold snowfall.

The storm before that looks like it’ll be a very wet snow with a few inches possible, so hopefully that’ll stick to everything and the colder, drier snow can just accumulate on top.

It means we don’t change our sleep schedule waiting for it.
 

Yet.

Well apparently it wont have much impact on February since TWC is predicting a very warm February.

As long as the polar vortex doesn’t watch the Weather Channel I think we’ll be okay.

Its that kind of winter. A system comes out of nowhere and you get an unexpected 1-4". A system is tracked for a week and you get 1-4".

I’d like to see the 3”+ end of that range some day.

And GFS plunks 30 in BOS by d10.

I missed a lot of big storms since moving to Michigan in 2005, but I did get 24” near Framingham a couple months before I moved in January 2005, and lucked out when visiting my parents the week of the firehose storm in March 2013(?) with 20”.

What opinion?  What moping?  I have a problem with Stebos solution to everything being "stop posting or someone should take away your posting right".  There can be differing opinions. Simply stopping someone from posting their difference of opinions is not a good solution. 

Your whining about this is making you look pathetic. 

Edit to add, oddly I agree with your post above about over reacting/stressing.  

You’ve been anti-mask all this time, when it’s been proven time and again to be one of the most effective ways of weakening the transmission of COVID without social distancing. It’s one of the things that’ve kept this virus from getting into DoomfanaticInd’s vision of a depopulated world.

370k+ dead and you are calling me hyperbolic?? Go **** yourself 

Get. A. Grip. It should never have gotten this bad, but it’s not your apocalyptic vision of a vastly depopulated world bad. Being this willfully stressed out only further hurts your emotional state, doesn’t bring back a single life and further alienates YOU during a time when everyone is already feeling alienated. 

370,000 doesn’t mean we’ll see less people everywhere we go. 37 million, yes. 370,000, no.

You people make it seem like our elderly population doesn't matter. Don't forget you are going to get old one day buddy

Concern about our elderly population AND pointing out hyperbolic statements can exist in the same sphere - they’re not mutually exclusive.

I don't think its really registering just how many people have died in America from this pandemic. I don't think its going to hit home until this is over and they open everything back up. Then you will notice so many missing faces are not here anymore 

Unless you live in a retirement home or in a senior community, it’s not going to be that drastic. Yes, this is the worst pandemic in a century, and the death toll is alarmingly high for a country of our wealth and resources, but going forward we ALL will have to think more objectively.
 

Hyperbole only reinforces the biases of people who think your perspective is off in the first place.

Ya control the narrative to what you want to hear.  Seems to be a lot of that going on lately...

Your misguided opinions aren’t facts. You’re either really this ignorant or doing a bad job of trolling. Either way, you’re making yourself and people like you look worse with every letter you type, and what’s truly sad, is that you don’t seem to possess the self-realization to process that. You just mope and go into victim mode when someone calls you out. It’s truly pathetic that you can’t even garner the pity you’re looking for.

Man there’s always been wackos. Look at instances like the Oklahoma City Bombing, it was inspired by conspiracy theories stemming from Ruby Ridge and Waco.

What I find fascinating is the discrepancy in medical opinions on a personal level. I have nurse friends who talk about this as the plague, and then my neighbor who is a neurologist with a degree from Vanderbilt says this whole thing is “extremely overblown” and that it’s nothing more than bronchitis to anyone under 60 that does not have a compromised immune system

I doubt a neurologist is dealing with this virus first-hand, particularly if the practice they’re with isn’t attached to an ER.

Heading out to dinner in Wolfeboro. Then returning to the Eagle's Nest. I'm gonna get altitude sickness. 

Hey, I used to stay up in Wolfeboro during the summers (and winter holidays) when I was younger. Folks had a cabin up towards the Tuftonboro line, higher in altitude than downtown by 500 feet and usually seemed to have ~50% deeper snow cover, but I think that was mostly a result of being on the northwest side of the hill so it was largely shielded from the sun.
