  1. This is brutal (seasonal snowfall). Came without a legend, but I think we can all fill in the blanks
  2. Down with COVID and living vicariously through our NE friends. At least I get to look at a dusting in quarantine!
  3. Nice dendrites out of these light returns. Good for a coating. Nice surprise!
  4. Seems like a certain storm chasing group has disabled their page on Facebook.
  5. 2” still pouring snow in Manheim. Occasional sleet mixing in.
  6. It’s technically closed off as the height lines do form a (very) small circle.
  7. Amazed at the GFS sniffing two events out before the Euro. Props.
  8. Ha I saw. I lurk in the shadows a lot (and I bought a new phone since last year so just now signed in).
  9. Love the ensembles coming around, but there has been SO MUCH SHIFTING in the short-term though of just our boring pattern for the next few days, so I follow the ensembles to see where the real trends lie. Being in the bullseye 140+ hours out though in this shifting pattern tends to lose confidence, so we'll see. Good to see a true Miller A though...it feels like it has been a while.
  10. Well, damn. Glad I bought that new snow blower. Hope you all are doing well!
  11. 15” storm total in Manheim, and still going moderately. As a whole, this is one of my favorite storms. 3 days of snow falling is fun.
  12. Closing in on a foot in Manheim, Lanc Co. and still puking, meteorologically speaking.
  13. I’m surprised at the expanse of sleet in the Philly area. That LLJ must really be cranking.
  14. Haha bring it! We back to a farm and it’s usually snowmobiles 24/7 when it snows.
  15. A cigar and a glass of Johnnie Walker Blue Label, please.
  16. I agree, and those numbers will probably change with today's full 12z suite in (or maybe after 00z tonight). Communicating this information to the average Joe is a science in itself. If you prepare people for a 6"+ snow, they typically will hunker down anyways. Then if totals go higher, it doesn't really affect them too much more other than additional clean up because they were already prepped to lay low (obviously if it's a crusher storm, the clean up can linger for days). On the contrary, if you prep people for a blockbuster, and it goes bust - well that affects people in a variety of socioeconomic ways (i.e. they closed their businesses when they didn't have to, took off work to stay home with their kids, etc). These forecasters must walk a fine line....it's easier for the public to understand if you go conservative and get surprised. However pitchforks are way more likely to come out if you overblow it and get surprised the other way.
  17. Thank you for the kind words! And yeah, was always a real balance striking the right tone for a variety of different types of viewers. Some HATE snow, while others love it, so you have to be careful. My goal was always just to lay out what we know and be honest about what we didn’t know, and what could “go wrong” with a forecast. I think people respect that.
