87storms

That’s tuff. Saw a Knicks game there and the Big East tourney when I lived there in 07. It’s really a classic place to watch a game…almost like it was made for basketball.

Lol. NBA all star game soon. I think some of the knocks on the nba are overrated. Yes, traveling is a problem, but the 90s was a literal free throw shooting contest at times. I remember it and thinking this is not ideal. The talent in the league right now is preposterous overall, they just need to tighten up the gather step rule.

The weather pattern went from NFC championship to 5-12. Just checked the Euro…how’s 26/27 looking?

The sunshine the last couple days has been mesmerizing.

I’m sitting pretty in the snowfall contest…need just one more moderate event, so I’m all in. With that said, I’m totally ok with the snowcrete portion of last storm melting first. You literally have to stomp to walk on it, which sort of takes the hiking part out of the game.

Sheesh. Yea, the Caribbean is like that. Very little difference between high and low temps, and when it rains it's like a heavy mist.

We often get opposite weather than the west, but this is impressive: https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=33.4482&lon=-112.0726. Phoenix is forecasted to be near 80 all week.

The southwest has done extremely well in that department this winter. I was tempted to travel, but prices are bad and I was already out there for 3 weeks recently.

They had the equivalent of the Miller B screw zone that we get from the coastal transfers. It's part of the sport. Looks like radar is filling in there, so I'm sure they'll end up with a couple inches minimum.

This is the anti-Wizards: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1382686353540280

It's just misdirected DC sports frustration.

Even with the sleet bomb, it definitely looks like snow on the ground. Pretty incredible stretch of cold here...I don't recall anything like it since '94. If we can get a couple snowtoppers with the Wednesday thing and the potential clipper, then it changes the game a bit.

Nice! Looks like they got a flush hit from the ULL, though Raleigh seems to be getting snookered.

If it makes you feel any better, in and around Charlotte is now reporting up to 8"+ of snow.

Just saw people ice skating on a pond in Baker Park. The cold this winter is legit. Now we just need the gulf to become a regular contributor.

We had temps in the teens throughout the entire event. In the majority of storms, that’s all snow. In most winters, our issues are not precip, it’s temps. I grew up in the 80s (snow on the ground for weeks at a time) and have been thru all the big blizzards since (including traveling from 2007 to 2009 - was back in time for Dec 09), so I’m picky when it comes to wanting snow. That said, I don’t like when my basketball courts are covered lol, so if that’s gonna happen I want it to be for a good reason. I’m actually not as negative as I appear…but this is a competitive sport, so it gets to be a little ridiculous when I see places to the south getting the flush hits that we aren’t. But the tide will likely turn…just a matter of when.

I’m optimistic on a backloaded winter, but it’s definitely getting to the point of “go time”. Gotta get that EC trough further west somehow.

Not qpf. The Carolina’s are showing us how it’s really done.

Were you out of town for the last storm?

Seems like there’s two winning teams for this current storm…those that are closest to the ULL passage (eg, Charlotte) which we needed here and those in the coastal sections closest to the redeveloping surface low. Definitely some dryslotting in between.

It’s wild seeing Charlotte getting a flush hit right now while we can only muster storms that are majority sleet. There’s something truly off with this pattern for big snows in the MA.

Yep

Yea, Charlotte is getting the kind of storm I want lol. Basically a perfect setup for them.

Definitely envious of this storm from Maryland where we got 5-6" of snow from the last storm (imby) followed by hours of sleet (meh). Radar looks incredible for Charlotte (I worked there on a couple different contracts back in the day before it became boomtown).

5-8" of "pure" snow is winning. Gonna end up being a great event there.
