snowing hard here-been out walking for the past hour. I measured 1.5 on the way out an hour ago so it has to be 2+ now. Depending on how cc looks I’ll either wait until I get up tomorrow around 10 to shovel or consider doing a late night once over.
Well I’m out a week from tomorrow when we leave for Chicago a few days followed by florida until 3/18. So this thread represents my last threat most likely.
Your biggest fear is palpable in your posts…the possibility that EOR gets 8-14 while you get a sandy 3-6. Probably neither happens but your angst is showing.
Occlusion could suppress the warm sector and produce light intermittent snows. When you see a model snowing when it shouldn’t that often what it’s telling you.
This season is subpar for most but the wintry stretch has made it look and feel like winter. But the lack of anything beyond middling is a big detraction. As of this moment, it is still a ratter.
I’m not sure if that means they actually publish the data but either way it’s news to me! Still/snow maps from all sources are suspect when one compares to verification.
To my knowledge none of the models assign ptype. All vendor driven. I guess the source data presumes that using some tools like a sounding anyone can figure it out.
You didn’t have to worry about pipes freezing for the October event. You do now. Maybe you should review turning off your water so if the power goes you minimize damage to your house.
Kind of illustrates how tough it is to get an ice storm in New England. Up north you’ll get snow to sleet but in most of sne snow to sleet to insignificant ice to rain or drizzle
Of course it’s a holiday weekend-the banks are closed, the financial markets are closed. Whatever happened to the guy who had in his sig “if it’s not making money it’s not making sense”? Big Red Sox fan.
