That October 2011 event makes you remember when "snow maps" were still a new thing, and Met offices didn't know how to use them exactly, especially in the shoulder seasons. "Dumb guy snow output" ended up being too low. HWO THERE IS A CHANCE OF A MODERATE TO HEAVY ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL ON SATURDAY. IF CONFIDENCE INCREASES...THEN A WINTER STORM WATCH. WILL BE ISSUED LATER TODAY From AFD THE GFS DUMB GUY SNOW OUTPUT IS 1-4 INCHES NORTH...10-15 IN HIGHER TRRN OF VT/MA/NY AND 6-8 ON VLY FLOORS. YES THESE ARE WINTER EQ AND THURSDAYS EVENT IT WAS ADVERTISING 4-8 INCHES AND MOST AREAS SAW 1-3. ITS NAM COUNTER PART IS MUCH FURTHER SOUTH...WITH 1-2 IN CATSKILLS AND 8 IN LITCHFIELD

That’s a solid line sagging south.

Yeah, as long as it’s warm enough inside not to freeze pipes… cooler weather is definitely an easier time to lose power. Especially after an October snowstorm because it won’t be deep cold afterwards. Just cold enough to put perishables outside in the snow.

Ha, I do remember you being stoked somehow the entire time.

To be fair, DIT lost power for like a week in the October 2011 snowstorm and not once do I remember him complaining about it, ha.

Figured @vortex95 would appreciate this SLC met using a photo of snowy mountains for the all-time hottest temperature since 1874… could’ve gone with flames and death, instead a tranquil April day photo of the Wasatch, lol.

I’d take it.

Nice day for business suits. Up to 75F already from a low of 48F.

Feels like that wouldn’t even satisfy folks, as soon as the GFS shows a dry 7 days it’d be like a week of rain never happened.

Sounds like you need to go above 7,500ft…. Get as high as possible.

Only a half inch over this way. Seemed to get a bunch of 7-10 splits until finally catching a core. Sharp gradient… only a couple miles south showing 1-1.5”… only a couple miles north under <0.25” like at the ASOS.

Took 24 hours lol.

Dangerously. Unprecedented.

This. We can blame hype but the amount of video easily available now is something never seen before. It’s the same with any outrageous behavior captured on film. There have always been Karens… since the dawn of time… but now you see video of every single person doing something obnoxious or dumb. Dumb people making bad decisions have always existed, too. You just never saw it. I don’t think people understand the gravity and how our perception has changed on certain things since every human holds an HD camera in their pocket.

Add politics to that, probably more so than sports and weather. People do like to be entertained though.

You got 3 weeks of rain in a day. How much do you all want to “make a dent”? Honest question.

All of you are ridiculous who cancelled the rain yesterday evening out fear of disappointment or whatever. This forum is entertaining though. Widespread 1.5-4” with locally higher over three states.

But only in summer, not in winter.

Another sunny day and 81F. Hasn’t rained in days. Feels like a different planet from SNE.

Yeah, sounds like it. That’s the classic upslope rains… just soaking sheet small droplets and seem to add up faster than it should. Radar over you has been steady but also hasn’t looked like 1”+. That’s why I was surprised.

Congrats on nearly 3”… everyone wins.

Huh, look at that. Some knew, some didn’t.

DIT is over an inch since midnight?!

Wait for it to blossom like the U.S. team. Tied. Edit: Shit, 30 seconds later Belgium punched back.

Ok yeah I was thinking another half inch possible, but models are all over the place. It does look like that stuff in SW CT tries to lift through tonight but in a diminished capacity.
