GFS shows over 2" of QPF with the big system later next week for a good chunk of the sub. At MLI they've only had 2.07" total precip since Dec 1st so that would be quite impressive if we can get 2.5 months of precip from this next storm.
Feel exactly the same. I'm kind of in 6"+ storm or just keep it mode at this point. It's been so dry (and extremely boring) that even a heavy rainer would be exciting at this point lol.
Not trying to troll or anything but I really wouldn't mind a soaking rainer. I've never seen so much residual salt on area roads, it's like there was a surplus of salt and it had to be used this season no matter what lol. The parking lot at work looks like the great salt lake desert.
Temps pushing 40 today, and you can tell there's a bit of spring fever starting up. Seen people out walking, car washes extremely busy, etc. The sun combined with the temps actually does make it feel warmer than it is after the recent cold.
Had a few flurries yesterday.
-2 this morning, 11th below zero day of the season. Tomorrow we poke above freezing. Time to get rid of this mangy crust.
Despite little in the way of snow the past few weeks we've done a pretty nice job of maintaining what we have received, as we've had at least an inch of snow on the ground since around New Years. Have about 2ish inches of mangy crust out there, with a little fresher powder on top.
Just read up a good chunk of the Nov 25-26 2018 storm thread. Reading/reminiscing that event was a nice dose of medicine to take some of the sting away from being skirted by GHD3. Nice to have those old event threads to look back on and read up on.
Looks like benign weather to continue through at least mid Feb. With just 26 days left of met winter (it'll be <15 days left by then) I'm ready to put this pos winter behind us and move on to spring.
Cloudy with a stiff northwest breeze here. Looks like maybe a shot at some light snow later tonight depending on which model you look at. Could get up to an inch or two if we get really lucky, but a complete shutout is entirely possible.
For those of us that are missing the storm this week unfortunately it looks like crickets around here through about Feb 10th. Hopefully the 2nd half of Feb brings something meaningful.
