last week at 4 inches what a joke. absolutely wrong what ever I will let it at that.  

I'm not sure of your exact location but your snow pics definitely show more than what mdt has recorded. Maybe you are at an higher elevation. 

Lol...You gotta love ji, he let's his emotions out! He is definitely a legend here.

That’s why they are fun to look at and fantasize about, but unless it’s within a 5 days, it’s only model porn.

Unless I know it’s going to be an all snow event or within 24 hours I skip right over them.

If that happens I might finally pull the trigger and book a room at the lodge in Mammoth Lakes, CA. 700" of snow last year with continuous cover for 250+ days in town...I'm getting the itch. 

 At least those great snowfall maps have us at 10 plus feet so far. So I consider this winter a win!

The of the GFS went to POO for the rest of the month. North Dakota Cutter next Weekend and missed phase end of month. 

Yea...if this happens I'm sure we will talking more about worms than snow.  

I would take the 12z gfs and be happy. 2 to 4  of snow and sleet.  I'm not paying too much attention to it's 2m temps.  I will use nam for that.

Well we've had two "events" (and one was just a dusting) but I do believe you are correct. 

I have had four if I include the 0.2 I got with the snow squall in December.  A total of 9.5". Every one I started above freezing. 

I might be wrong, but I believe this might be the first event this year we don't  have to drop to 32 for it stick.  We will be starting out cold, then a slow climb. Too bad we are not getting a big thump on the front end.  

I did not like the light amounts of precipitation the 00z euro showed for most of the area.

Hi there Daxx . I use the enzymes fungus and bacteria from the leachate and castings  to increase photosynthetic sugar production or °BX  in produce  . If your looking for composting worms I would be willing to give you thousands . If you need nightcrawlers a calm cool wet night with a dim or red headlamp will give you plenty fishing worms and appreciation for how many Lumbricus terrestris there actually are under your feet  and what they do. The earth would be burred in carbon and nitrates without them and all the other worm species.  Good Luck with the storm on Saturday if there is much luck to be had. 

This is actually interesting!  I never would have thought worms were used for such things. Good luck to you as well!

I feed my worm lots of oats and kelp. Makes the most biodiverse castings and leachate (Piss and Shit ) as far as bacterial / fungal  diversity goes . I use the casting to brew a actively aerated compost teas or aerobic tea for short . I do a type of Japanese composting called bokashi to facilitate beneficial anaerobic bacteria colonization. What a stink fest that is if done wrong. I welcome anyone that wants to learn to come one over. lol

Do you sell your worms for money or do you use them for bait only? You seem to be very knowledgeable with this.

Just give us the most qpf possible with this system.  We are going to start out cold with this event.  I think the cad will hang on until the precip ends. Surface temps will most likely be colder than what the  globals are showing.  We can only hope the upper levels hold on a little longer for snow/sleet.

Intriguing that the fabled decade that the ice age was coming back (the 1970s) has only one less 68º+ meteorological winter day than this past decade. 

 

I was thinking the same thing when I saw that. Nice writeup on the extended!

Great info, thanks.  So the top two are 2 of the last 3 decades.  Wonder if there are any record keeping issues there as otherwise that is pretty definitive info that it is VERY rare to hit 68 in January and we have indeed had more days at that temp since some time in the 1970's.  

Do you know if the sensor has been in the same general area or has it changed over the years? Sometimes they get moved around.

It’s 70 in my backyard. Impressive for not a bit of sun today. 

Only 65 here. Wind is next to nothing. Shingles are probably being ripped from houses on front street.

We get some light snow on the 20th and 21st from ns disturbance.   A low pops up off the NC coast on 21st and tracks northeast. Ten days away to change that.  Good times are ahead I believe. 

12z Euro was definitely an improvement over its 00z run.  This is for early next weekend.  Front end snow to rain.  Hopefully we can keep trending better as we get closer.

It feels so much cooler inside my house than outside. 

I can't wait until the dewpoint spike later tonight and tomorrow morning.  I might stay up for it. Lol!

Guess its a good weekend to run out of fuel oil, eh? Not that I'd just discovered this...ahem

Yes...a good weekend to run out of oil for heat.  A bad weekend to lose power for a/c.

LOL, I was more posting for my own info vs. yours guys discussion.  I do not have time to check now but guessing if you did the other decades back to 1950's it was at least a little less common.  The 2017/2018 seasons skewed this last decade high. 

 

Edit-Blizz (and maybe Nut) are probably steaming seeing posts about temps in the 70's but this is a weather board not just a winter weather board.  I like discussing extremes.  :-)

 

 

I agree. I like all weather extremes.  I'd rather it snow but living here that's not going to happen all the time. 

Edit: I should have said most of the time.

I remember watching the radar on a Saturday afternoon and following along on the boards when out of nowhere a few posters from nowhere close to here started posting about the ominous conditions in our area. Sure enough, the tornado warnings started coming quickly...

An EF-1 tornado was confirmed near Wrightsville that day.  I didn't even have a drop of rain that day. Nothing but sun and 70s.

I just did a QUICK scan back to Dec 2010 for any days in Dec-Feb that reached 68 or higher.  There is a decent chance I missed one or two but these are most of them. Just listing months and temps.

Feb 2011 (1)-68

Dec 2013(1)-70

Feb 2017(5) 68,68,69,75,76

Feb 2018(2) 77,79

Yea...I went back and looked as well.  Of course Mike is right again! Lol  February in the past several years have been king for 70s.

Was it 2 years ago in February we hit 78 and were under tornado warnings?

I remember calling my parents in Maytown and telling them to get in the basement.

I'm not saying it never happens. Yes you are right. We also had tornado warnings in February at that time.

Someone made the comment that it hits 70 every winter.  I did not have the time to check then but doubt that is a norm except in the last decade or two.  I do not remember it hitting 70's much in the 80's or 90's (between Dec 1 and March 1).

I could be totally wrong but to me it seems 70s have been occurring in December and January more often. Then once we hit February through the beginning of April it's a struggle to hit 70.
