Nearly identical after midnight, but I had 3.1" before midnight. That did put me over 10" for the month (exactly 12.0") though.

I was between the two myself.

Misery mist tickling the nape of your neck.

February 2015

Deep winter. Like Januarys of yore.

3!

I have used ShotScope the last few years. I don't play as much as I used to, but I like it because it gives me data I can use beyond distances to front, middle, center, hazards, etc. You can use it to track your yardages. It comes with screw caps you can put into grip of your clubs and they register your swing and tag the start and end of a shot that way. They are unique, so it knows when you had a 6i vs a PW. It can get a little wonky for a chip that doesn't involve a lot of arm/hand motion, but at worst it's a good quick judge of yardage to your target if you didn't want to know your club carries.

Meh, if we're going to be precise it's still Gulf of Mexico air if it comes from south of that line. Sad.

I'm going on almost two weeks of snow on the ground. Deep, deep winter.

300 km and 191 km The point they were trying to make with the training is that a model can only resolve something about 5 times larger than it's grid spacing (because you need to capture the max and min of the wave, plus the beginning, end, and middle of the wave). So that 160 km "upgraded" MRF/AVN could resolve a feature as large as around 800 km. In case we all wondered by it sucked at CAD.

I know @ORH_wxman and I were joking about our early days learning to forecast in Ithaca and the models we were using... But I am transposing my notes from our recent NWS-wide ensemble fluency training and they displayed a graphic showing how models have advanced since the 1960s. Now I knew it was a big deal when the Eta went down below 25 km (roughly the same as the current GEFS), but it sends a shock through me when I see the MRF/AVN sitting there at 160 km.

Good thing it's still ORH season.

Had 1.7" when I left for work at 7, but the best snow of the day has been falling since then.

There was no "we" involved. We have complained about the size of the domain for the local scale. Unless the takeover of CAR has begun...

Bend over here it comes again

Just go back and read a few of those AFDs. Classic stuff. Thank god. Daryl is archiving all of that stuff so that you can grab an AFD from 20 years ago.

I can see him now, installing the ice block on the window sill in late April.

I want to know what the dewpoint was over Kevin's great great great grandfather's wheat field.

The 30 year number was chosen because it is long enough to smooth out short term fluctuation from patterns (ENSO, volcanic eruptions, etc), but also short enough to capture real changes to an area's climate. If you used the entire data set for normal, it's just going to be a trend line up towards warmer. If you use smaller chunks you can catch time periods that may have cooled or been wetter. It also is the WMO standard.

I don't know for sure, it could either be equipment (unsheltered for instance) or siting (not 2 m for instance). Also, let's bring back the umlaut in Coos.

Your snow pack sublimate flake by flake?

I mean the Tarmac torches all the way to KTOL (in the summer) but they did four straight days in the teens that December.

When the radiators mount up, I'm not sure I want ASH in my posse, but I do always go lower than guidance.
