^ Lmao on that disco .... Use caution while traveling outside. Wear appropriate clothing, a hat, and gloves.

Hell yeah. Those Cornhuskers can weenie spring all they want. It's hard living here in the winter hinterlands lol.

Whatever. My winter just started. BBQ on ice till I get my fill lol.

Well these reports aren't encouraging. Thought we might squeeze out a couple around here. Have to reduce the 10 day clown maps by 2 inches now

You seriously want to double GFS snow amounts 2 weeks out? If the fantasy range brutal cold the GFS is bringing happens Birmingham AL is gonna get more snow than we will lol. It's advertising 2014 cold and trust me we're not built for that, don't want it, MN and IA can keep it.

Where are you at? I've been underperforming temps for a month.

Great time to clean the freezer and not be in a hurry lol.

Man, that cutoff to the south is just brutal. I don't know if I can handle a 10" snow with 25" just 50 miles to my NW. We always get robbed

I can attest. Had to go to Marion and it was some heavy heavy stuff. Texas flakes. WAA finally moved in but that 2 hour burst protected our snow pack. I still have 4 inches of concrete on the ground. Was very concerned we'd lose it before this cold spell and have a barren tundra freeze out. Me being a clipper fan, if we've got a nice layer of glacier on the ground and get into a clipper or quasi clipper pattern for 7-10 days that results in a decent winter for us. We get a few weeks of not having to worry about precip types. If they're hybrid clippers just means they're juicier and instead of 1-2 we might get 2-4. 3 of those in a week on top of a 4 or 5 inch glacier, with clippers being normally windy, usually leads to some really nice drifting. I've seen a clipper drop 4 inches on top of a 2 or 3 inch glacier with 40 mph gusts and temps in the teens create 3 foot drifts in spots. Horizontal avalanches is what I call them lol. I love clippers in our climo

Forecast low of 24 here. Current temp of 13. Was forecasted to be a high of 36 earlier Wed. never got above 25. Talk about underestimating a mini glacier snowpack.

I like cold but please no 2014 repeat....

That stick is slanted about 3 degrees to the right, about 87 degrees instead of 90. Penalty! lol. Congrats

^ I'll run out of bandwidth before it hits

As you know I am the King of the Redneck Slant Stick. Reviewing reports, will be issuing penalties soon

Well you could've cut the corner for the mail person for gods sake lol

Same here, hard to measure. We're some reports of 7-8 over in Grant county and I think MIE only reported 2.5. Huge cutoff there in a span of 20 miles. I too was getting excited for a potential double digit. Don't know about up that way but when we did a switch over to some pingers then rain for about 30 min the faucet shut off. Got dry slotted hard here, for almost 4 hours of nothing. Wasn't expecting that. Yeah it was a blast driving around. Some on the board may not get it but when you live in rural areas you dont have to worry much about the other guy. I will say when it switched to rain the traction level went to -100 and I limped home. Was lol at the TV news in Indy. I mean ok, it was a record snowfall for the date, but lord talk about hype over 3 or 4 inches on a weekend. Wet stuff didnt really hit here until the latter half of accumulations. Such is life here in the hinterlands lol. 5-6 is still respectable for our area. Waiting on the March 2018 repeat lol

Besides the fact me and the dogs are now in trouble think that little break cost me an inch or 2. Heading back wsw now, 1/4 mile vis again. Seriously half dollars

Back to full +SN now. Much bigger flakes now.

Got about 3 here so far. Beatin down by the WAA that I should never question. Literally less than 5 miles here between an inch and 3 or so. 2 miles to my N still SN. Walkin the tightrop

Its freakin pinger city here after I saw that flash. Im 20 miles east, heading north to get back into that wall. Damn thunder pingers

I now 2nd that

Not seeing the typical plaster snow that was expected. Seeing a dry slot in S IN working its way behind this incoming heavy WAA band. Hopefully the main system moves east some, fills it in, before it gets here. An inch so far, and its not wet. Sure it will be later as that LLJ cranks in a few hours. No rain which is good. Warm LL temps weren't forecast to really make a march N here until 06-09Z Shall see, just SN atm. Hoosier and ChicagoWX know where I'm at so of course it had to start with pingers. Always a damn pinger mixed in there somewhere around here lol.

Wife has to work till 10. Told me sternly no snow chasing this evening I could here my old truck hollering so Im heading out to witness the "wall" and will take my lumps lol. Its been over a year since Berthas been in 4wd. Gotta exercise them old bones. Had a few pingers. Still some dry air issues but dont think temps are gonna be an issue for most if not all of this.

There's some really intense shear and vorticity near the center of this low visible on Sat.

That big guy behind him cracks me the hell up every time I see this lol. Sorry for OT
