Absolutely, there is a bit of joy there.

Last report they were at 33.8" as of 45 mins ago with 14.7 falling in 2 hours and 45 mins. Absolutely insane for a synoptic storm.

I had to post this here when I saw it, thanks to @andyhb for bringing it to my attention. Binghamton NY's ob KBGM 170553Z AUTO 1/4SM +SN FZFG VV002 M09/M11 A2985 RMK AO2 TWR VIS 3/4 SLP136 P0040 60120 T10891106 11072 21089 58023 RVRNO .40 liquid in one hour 1.20 in 6. Even at 10:1 you are talking 4" per hour that hour and 2" per hour in 6 hours. But that is at 10:1. Notice the temp/dew -9c/-11c. You are almost assuredly having higher than 10:1 ratios. Even at 12:1 thats 4.8" and 14.4 in 1/6 hours.

99-00 was a second year Nina, and 88-89 was coming off one of the biggest droughts of all time.

I'd be a bit more annoyed seeing this storm if it was a Nino, but I know ours is coming.

I will piggyback and say that most moderate La Nina's tend to have variable Decembers where as Jan/Feb tend to be money for the region. If there is something in those Decembers it is usually the last week of December. I know that people are getting antsy but I'd like to point out for example 10-11 DTW had 9.2" in December and ended with 69"+ and that December NYC got crushed with the Boxing Day storm and heavy snow in January but they were largely done by Feb 1st, where as most of this region saw most of their snow that month.

Gotta watch the bank clock, hopefully it don't hit 37.

Actually not hating the trends I am seeing tonight so far. HRRR and NAM coming in a bit juicier for SEMI. Probably still a 1-3"er but some spots could eek out a bit more.

It gives an out for businesses to cut corners, it is incredibly stupid and dangerous, which is why it is being considered.

He really is, all we hear is SSW is coming from him until it happens then he congratulations himself.

Yeah gotta remember 10-11 they had a boxing day storm in NYC.

I would give anything for 07-08, perfect roller coaster winter with literally everything even severe.

East-based -NAO can be especially for the eastern half of the subforum.

No you are fine, its just someone coming along to complain. It is very easy to not post in this thread.

Need all of that shifted west some, not impossible but still work needing to be done.

As did Obama, Bush, and Clinton.

I wouldn't be so quick to say this considering some of the side effect that are showing up even in children.

You bring up mental health and your reply to someone you are assuming may have an issues is "get some fresh air". How about you get some god damn brains for once.

Final call, 1" of cold rain.

This is also true, these are the same people that if the topic was brought up a year ago wouldn't even remotely want to fund it but if anything would want it cut. I am glad to know I have been on the right side of this one from the get go.

I really don't think people are forgetting mental health. People have been clamoring for mental health funding for years only to have it fall on deaf ears. It is that funding that would be in place for situations like this.

Hospitalizations are going to eventually flatline because there is a finite limit to beds.

They will go up then.

There haven't even been declines, anyone that thinks we are going toward any sort of immunity is just an idiot. We won't have any sort of appreciable immunity until the vaccine.

GHD Blizzard I'm coming!
