Up to 2.0" as of 130pm temp at 29.7 here in East Nantmeal

Not bad. Definitely overperformed.

One of those days I feel for the my holly crew. They are going to be burning the midnight oil.

Cheers to them!

Oh it has been loads of fun!

What does the acronym PRE stand for? Or is it just short for pre event snow band?

PRE = Predecessor Rain Event

Yep. All stores should have self-checkout for 5 items or less.

*Pissed Walmart is not open 24/7 any longer. I have a screwed up schedule and thoroughly enjoyed going there at 3am to pick up misc stuff. Basically had the whole store to myself...self checkout and I'm out of there in 10-15min.

Those self checkouts and I do not always get along, especially at grocery stores!

Yes, I meant southern VA and the Carolinas. 18Z GFS showing little more than a coastal scrapper down there too.

DT is probably going ape $%@&

Looks like I made it to 48 today and yup, Mt.Holly got bullish and lofted the WWA (Mike).

Currently 47 and partly cloudy with dp 29.

That was just for you.

Mt. Holly is bullish on the "sneaky system" for Thursday!

 

0.5-2 inches is bullish?

Rochester Airport reporting 2 inches in the last hour...

Am I really going to chase this thing at 3am?  Seems like it could actually be worth it with crazy rates for a couple hours.  Look at the forcing on the RGEM

 

 

You know you want to.

Even as a MET, does it still shock you to see places go from 5 degrees to 40 and rain in 24 hours? I can't tell you how many times I've seen it here and it just blows my mind.

It is quite amazing, but I like snow so it is rather frustrating as well.

How’s everything going with mt holly?

Short staffed again but we are making it work. Amazing the arctic air in place now will be gone tonight with just a wind driven rain occurring.

Looks like WPC added some mixing..

 

Technically that is not WPC adding it. Those graphics include the NDFD forecasts which are issued by the NWS forecast offices.

I am not seeing much evidence in the forecast soundings of elevated instability. The 12z NAM though hints at it for a time at ROC early Monday morning, but probably not enough. Given the dynamics though, it would not be shocking if there are a few lightning flashes associated with the peaking deformation band.

The 850 mb and 700 mb frontogenetic forcing across western NY looks to be very impressive, particularly associated with the developing and pivoting deformation zone. Here is a snapshot of the 700 mb frontogenesis when the snowfall rates look to be peaking (via the 12z GFS).

VD and St paddy's day 07 both featured 5-6" of sleet where I lived in Queens. Absolutely epic. Trillions of frozen ball bearings were a nightmare for plows.

Plowing that amount of sleet sounds like they are pushing glass. I remember hearing that when I lived in State College. 

41F with light rain continuing.

Today's above freezing temperatures and rain did not melt away the 3" high ratio snow, any other month it would be toast but holding on to half of it 

 

You are lucky. My 4.2 inches of fluffy snow has vanished today, with just some piles left from plowing and shoveling. It got into the low 40’s today and a lovely rain is ongoing. ☹️

This one has a happy ending... your greatness was recognized...and Agnes had the perfect fairy tale ending: A troll thrown under the bridge on her birthday! 

Thanks. I was not expecting him to be put into a timeout, but maybe he will take that time to think about things before posting again.

I will 3rd that!

Happy Birthday! 

This thread is ridiculous! Nothing like someone pointing fingers at a Meteorologist for one quote in an article on a storm from 26 years ago. Why, what the hell was the point now?! I just could not respond anymore.  
 

Thank you to many of you for your support.

It's funny, first you admit that you guys botched it and then you backslide and blame the poor lady reporter for just doing her job -- really sad.   Especially for a government employee who gets paid $100,000 a year to do what he loves and then says he doesn't get paid that much.  

Seems like you're having some trouble with the truth

First of all,  I was not blaming that particular reporter. Read above! Secondly, you completely ignored my own and some of my coworkers experience with some reporters where the quotes in some articles were not correct. And yeah my salary is good but I am not rolling in millions here. Me being a government employee has nothing to do with this. I have my own opinions which I can post here. 
 

So are going to dig deeper on this one article from a weather event that took place 26 years ago?
