  1. I would take a few locally for sure. The NY mesonet is doing their depth with lasers right now. I would love an ASOS-like mesonet in every county/zone.
  2. Well if it's for work I don't pay out of pocket for one. AMS SLS at Stowe was $1000 week and 3 vacation days...
  3. Man this would solve a lot of social mediarologist problems...
  4. Do I want it to fall in my backyard? Sure. But I also just like to see big events happen in general, so I can do a little morphine drip of HRRR runs and satellite images if I miss out.
  5. Now that I'm edging towards the middle of my career I find I rarely have time to learn anything new. It's hard to keep up. So it's nice when the learning something new is part of work instead.
  6. I'm (hopefully) applying to a boatload of Hazardous Weather Testbed and Spring Forecast Experiment opportunities at OUN this spring, so let's rock. They're doing a radar applications course on new tornado and meso detection algorithms, a satellite applications course, a course on probabilistic warnings, and then the Spring Forecast Experiment which is more of a research to operations.
  7. Nice freezing drizzle signal up here Saturday before the precip arrives. Maybe more impacts locally?
  8. It is kind of amazing that outside of the blizzard, BOS only had 0.1" the rest of February.
  9. 8.5" while I was on vacation, and another 5.5" when I got back puts me at 40.3" for the season now.
  10. Yeah, just referencing the WxTwitter viral post of "flurries" this afternoon.
  11. Cold down there for sure, but even this morning with temps in the 30s would have been tough for snow because it was "fake cold" as the like to say. The majority of the cold was in the lower levels with relatively mild temps aloft still. It was probably dry enough on the Gulf Coast to wet bulb it though.
  12. I think that's probably bogus with a 59/48 spread at the time.
  13. It wasn't me either. But I would happily welcome him for a few months. Still shaking off the cobwebs after vacation, but I wish there was a stronger signal on ensemble sensitivity. Still a little unclear even 60 hours from now. So there could be some late surprises for my backyard.
  14. Someone at AMS convinced the poor bastard to apply for the GYX summer intern...
  15. All that confluence over the Maritimes would definitely support a nice high in a favorable CAD position. It will be interesting that it all starts with a backdoor more or less.
  16. The GFS with 32 shoved back into Mass is a huge red flag. That model loves to drive a warm front to YUL.
  17. Not uncommon for winter events to all be under 10,000 ft clouds. And you're like 7,000 ft on our beam.
  18. Beautiful band of snow, it's just not sticking around.
  19. ASOS is really good with visibility, but vis is only a proxy to snow rates. I've definitely seen 1 1/2SM -SN that was 1"/hr because it was perfect aggregates. Those events are exceptions not the rule though.
