87storms

As depicted, with the arctic air in place and the fact that we have a closed low, that has potential to be a blizzard for someone near the coast.

Yea me too…see you tomorrow at 12z.

It does seem like a Jan 2000 would make a decent analog to this setup.

Which is exactly what I think our area should be rooting for (the coastal seems a reach). I’d like to see the energy out west a little further north and the ns system as well.

There should be a 1000 emoji for this

Just finished shoveling. Kinda proud of my work tbh. What’s also cool is coming inside after starting at bright snow and everything is low lit.

Just shoveled one side of my car. Unpleasant, but doable. Helped that we didn’t have any fzra. But it’s still pretty thick.

Maybe wait until it’s more than a light westerly breeze away from being a fish storm.

What about the preseason game against the Commanders?

Same. The dudes that work in my development worked all day yesterday (and probably underpaid for it). Now shoveling around my car is not something I’m looking forward to. Might wait until the sun breaks out before tackling that.

Bombogenesis, but I don’t trust it until the nam shows it. Jk

Yea, and I don’t know how I feel about it lol. Rule measured 5-5.5” here…followed by 8 hrs of sleet. Fun and interesting storm, but 2/3 of it was sleet (aka not snow).

You’re doing too much. If you can’t read thru my obvious humor (I said in a previous reply that I was joking) when I said, “nam is the new sheriff in town”, that’s a you problem, not a me problem. But while we’re on the topic…I don’t get paid to forecast, but there’s Mets on here who do and who clearly emphasize the fact that some models are better than others at certain things. In data science, it’s the study of a model’s bias vs variance. It’s well known that some of the nam’s primary skill is in identifying thermal issues and mesoscale banding (not to a pinpoint location, but that it might occur), both extremely important (especially to people who have to work in this stuff and not just enjoy it from the comfort of their homes) when trying to forecast warm air intrusions when temps are in the teens. There’s no gaslighting here, that’s an actual fact, something anyone can do a quick search on. Anyhow, this thread isn’t for this type of discussion, so I’m cutting it off here.

I'm 50/50. On the one hand, it's been generally cold this winter and we've got a historic (on some level) cold stretch coming up. On the other hand, it was cold af leading into this storm and the majority still ended up as pingers. Warm air intrusion has been a thing the last few years and this storm was no exception. Long story short...tbd.
