It's been so long since we've had a real winter storm to track that I forgot about this phase of the weather tracking experience: the mass weenie suicides!
(and just to be clear, no offense to anyone is intended. I'm one of those weenies...)
Cool to see moisture plume still stretching all the way down to Mexico on the radar. We still have a long way to go with this one. Gfs doesn't show cbus switching over until late afternoon/evening, but still shows a healthy accumulation overnight.
NAM continues to take a dump on our storm -- but it's marginally better. It ups the snowfall in Columbus from 0.3 inches (6z) to 1.6 inches (12z). Progress!
I think you're right. The pressing high seems to be getting a little bit stronger with every run. Just hope it doesn't get too strong and miss to the south. It's gotta balance at just the right spot for us to jackpot.
Don't give up hope yet. We still have a few more days of anxious hand-wringing and nervous teeth-gnashing ahead of us before the inevitable happens. And isn't that what it's really all about...?
Gfs clown maps on tropical tidbits give us more than a foot and a half -- but they include all frozen precip in 10:1 ratios. And verbatim it's mostly sleet/freezing rain.
