Yeah its going to start going quick here tomorrow then its the start of Mud Mania 2025! lol

That's why I I'm gonna appreciate this little half inch clean up snow we just got to ice our 3-4 inch glacier (one of the hardest deepest glacier packs in recent memory here). The pattern he speaks of usually brings us in kitchen sink row row just that, a crappy rain, sleet, snow menagerie lol. Definitely looks like better probs for the I-80 crowd to get some welcome relief. Meanwhile this stuff here is fixing to go away next week and we'll be in the dreaded mud/frozen mud 24 hour cycle for a bit. I hope we can swing through another decent snow before the February cold box settles in. I don't care what anyone says 10F feels like 30F when there's snow on the ground

I have no memory left but... I do remember sometime back maybe 2015? not sure when a similar pattern as this set in sparked off by a very strong very late season (like December) west Pacific tropical system that was absorbed and enhanced an already strong low in the northern jet stream. When it hit the US it allowed a crazy near record (maybe record?) setting polar high in 1050's to come crashing into the plains behind it and that ridge set there for over a month suppressing the storm track well below the MD line. I think it was a record setting winter for much of the deep south. It was just bitter cold arctic tundra up here that winter and it sucked. Except for last week I feel like that's where we're headed for the next few weeks with polar ridges in the mid to high 1040's being advertised. Note: Once again, my memory is severely flawed these days

Nice! I'm at 3.5 on a clean board, still falling. The Dendrite machine had to work it's ass off to get this. I barely saw a flake larger than a dime but the salt shaker in the sky was shakin' hard. The WWA around here was definitely warranted as roads went to (and still are) complete s@$t between 3 and 6. This is the kind of nickle dime pile ups I'm used to around here lol. 10 inches in a week? Where the hell am I

On a roll here and if the upper level system can help pump a couple more 10ths of moisture up here and high SLR's I'm going to call 5 here from 9am Fri to 9am Sat. Whatever we get tomorrow and tomorrow night it will make this the best winter here in 3 years. Have to admit, it doesn't take much

I was very surprised here with 6. I was expecting 3 at most. Hey ya got something lol. I have a friend in Cincy he was very happy he got to gloat for once lol.

It was brutal. Those little bumps of 5.8 and 6 right next to .2 is where I am. We ended up with 6 that I measured. I drove about 2 miles East and there was grass. We had a bit of a TROWAL or Defo set up over us for a couple of hours very early in the morning. We got 4 of the 6 in that 3 hour period from 2 to 5am. KIND was mentioning this possibility the day before. Great snow for our southern brethern that are so often just spectators. Ya'll got more coming!

Got 2 here so far. Keep getting some bands drift through with +SN for 15 min then -SN prisms in between. Dry slot should stay south but then the only hope of reaching warning criteria is going to be some Defo coming through 3 - 9 hours from now me thinks. If I can get 3 more that'll give me 10 or so so far. That will equal my totals of each of the last 2 years. Seems I only have heart attacks when I get less than a foot of snow per winter so here's to another pitiful 3 inch storm after this one! lol. PS: Found my dog

Finally got a decent band overhead. Trying to find my dog lol

Yeah just started here. I went outside and spit about 20 minutes ago to raise the humidity. It worked! Lol

If I hadn't had 2 heart attacks in the last 2 years I could probably walk south a couple hours and go from a couple of inches to 10 lol. Famous North I70 sucker lane strikes again.

Hell its 87-88 in KY and OH now. Thats pretty stout for the first week of April. Especially OH

Yay my whole area is getting a tornado watch too. Was feeling left out

Nice 10 second 65mph sustained with that globular cluster that just went through. Not one lightning strike. Started having SE coastal living flashbacks lol

You dress up your dogs?

Hey, I'm in that box too. Too hell with Jupiters magno rings Quantum entanglement is forecasting a big dog here. My fishing reel looks like Phyllis Diller's hair and I'm sick of messing with it.

Oh, I caught 12 crappie so stormsa comin' lol. Just hope I'm not frying flying fish over the wee houurs of the morning

Yeah its right along the dry line. We were getting a crazy dry line Friday in E Kansas also. That one Friday was a TX flying tumbleweed dryline, we don't see those that strong and defined up here often.

Im goin' fishin'. If they're bitin' the storms a comin' lol.

Part of the reason is until Friday we've had crap for even garden variety storms in the spring for the last 3 or 4 years. I mean seriously, our March-June thunderstorm season has sucked horribly. We're not used to it anymore lol.

Starting to see a line of agitated cumulus forming from ILX towards the triple point near Omaha along the warm front. 80/65 running into 55/45. Not the best moisture feed but it's still not bad. Some pre-frontal cells trying to go in MO

Hope he brought his helmet to work

I respect your posts RS but the 74 Big Dog? Oh my you have my ears definitely perked sir!

I barely had 10 inches this year. I hate you lol
