The way this winter has been going, I'm not holding my breath. And after you quoted me, I double checked and realized that it was worse than 2.3", it was only 0.5". I'm happy that you Detroit area guys have scored, but down here has been major suckage.

It's not really fair to add all 384 hr totals of the GFS and promote the idea of "active" based on those clowns, but I get your drift. That 14" over my head turned into 0.5" of reality.

Cue Josh optimistically stating that March is going to rock. EDIT: They also forgot that this is a leap year. February 29th is going to rock. Either that, or it will be an extra day of a miserable winter.

Hard to believe that one year ago today I was on I 69 working a huge pile up ( I 65 style). Standing in the middle of the interstate at -10° with 20-30 MPH winds. About as brutal as you can get around here.

Heat island.

It would be even more if you added up the snow totals of all the GFS clowns all winter (see Cyclone77 above).

When you are as old as us, that's saying something. lol I'm rooting for the robin, but the last half of February may freeze their tail feathers.

Have you had 10?

It seems like they are always late to the show. I don't understand, because they are looking at the same things we are weatherwise. We've been getting a very light mixed bag off and on all afternoon, with drizzle, a little graupel and sleet mixed in along with tiny flakes. None of it has amounted to enough to cause any issues up here yet.

I had to laugh at Megan's opening to this afternoon's short term discussion from IWX: WELL IF YOU'RE ANYTHING LIKE ME, YOU ARE GETTING KIND OF CRANKY REGARDING THE EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER AND OVERALL DREARY CONDITIONS THIS WEEK. I WISH I COULD OFFER SOME HOPE, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE STUCK WITH THIS THROUGH AT LEAST THE SHORT TERM. Tell us what your really think.

That's not going too much out on a limb.

Maybe I need to start a thread to break us out of this slump. According to the Euro, a torch will highlight the first few days of the month and it hints at a cool down by late next week. This cool down will be accompanied by a rainer and a back wash DAB+ for Alek/ORD per the amazing GFS. However, at this point it appears to be only a glancing blow of cold. Some mets, including OHweather, have posted cautious optimism for a return to more normal February weather by mid-month. I am also in his camp of "I'll believe it when I see it."

"But I nailed it at 500"

It's still showing up, eh? I continue to think that somehow, the Midwest will reel this in.

Alek isn't the only one on here that can nail it from 5 days out, thanks to Jackstraw's "reach around". EDIT: It has snowed for 9 straight hours to this point and still coming down lightly. You don't see that too often, especially with less than an inch of total accumulation.

Uhhhh...NO

Wow. Is that snow cement? You're probably used to fluff.

Same up here. It flipped to light snow around 8 AM and has been snowing nonstop ever since that time. Accumulation? 0.0" Ricky should trademark the term "white rain". EDIT: At least we're getting daytime snow!

ZZZZZZZZZZZ........ Sunday Cloudy, with a high near 35. West wind 5 to 10 mph. Sunday Night Cloudy, with a low around 29. Monday Cloudy, with a high near 37. Monday Night Cloudy, with a low around 29. Tuesday Cloudy, with a high near 37. Tuesday Night Cloudy, with a low around 29. Wednesday Cloudy, with a high near 37. Wednesday Night Cloudy, with a low around 29. Thursday Cloudy, with a high near 39.

That's the GHD III noreaster it was spitting out yesterday, just faster and more inland. Looking at this winter's pattern, congrats WI and Alek's DAB+

Yeah, FWA isn't hostile at all (see sig)

GFS is trolling the East Coast with a 954mb bomb
