26.2 here in far eastern walker county bama, 1/4 of an inch now and if you count the number of flakes it is snowing hard BUT the flakes are so tiny you almost cant even see them........this is the dry fluffy stuff falling and none melting.......

hilarious how so many young folks can now predict the future, amazing ability to proclaim exactly where and how much it will snow BEFORE the event happens....central bama has already been declared finished by the brilliant ones, nothing for the b'ham area

it appears to me the over performance out west right now is happening before the system taps any gulf moisture at all YET

my hope for all snow lovers is this storm produces for everybody, i dont really care what any of the models say at this time, the real world is where this storm will happen.

is any of the stuff on radar this afternoon in mississippi making it to the ground?

the real world water vapor loop of the west shows a MUCH HIGHER ridge in the west and a steeper drop on the east side of that ridge.......the ridge was down around oregon a few days ago now it reaches way up into canada

i cant grasp how some already had the storm for Tuesday? they proclaim it was a big storm and didnt happen........i thought the storm was in the future?

dont know if this matters but the pressure here dropped from 29.75 to 29.62 in 3 hours and the 29.75 would have been our lowest reading this winter

please help me understand which storms are NOT "now casting" events?

in this forum when say a storm appears to be going to hit maybe 25% of the entire SE area are comments made by some about this is a miss appropriate just because it will likely miss their backyard?

this storm was fun to watch and right now the water vapor loops show the basic path of it from canada through the SE and now booking up the east coast./.....that same loop also shows some energy moving se and some upper air feature about to move into texas south of el paso, that could be interacting soon?

for real time i use radars and water vapor loops....and right now they show snow in the air in many locations not on any models.

dont think i could see anything from this but it sure is fun watching this storm develop with the first element moving down through montana and today it being an upper low in kanasas and now a second wave flying down behind it and slightly to the east, observing the actual storm develop and unfold is the "fun" in these for me.

seeing some radar action in arkansas was this shown on any model?

TY for that since i spotted that very thing yesterday as it moved into montana and noted here something was dropping south into wyoming......this isnt very close to what any model called for from the things i have read here and elsewhere.......
