  1. Ditto. I think I've had a moment or two of 'losing it' over the past 2/3 days. Why? Anyway, decided to enjoy whatever falls, I've set my mind to 8-10 at a max, probably 3 inches of sleet on top of maybe 6 inches of front end snow. Gonna just chill for the day, try to clear this nasty hack/cough/cold stuff I've now battled for a week plus. Wishing all as much snow and sleet as possible and as little freezing rain as possible.
  2. Wish I could add a few zeros to my 100% to this!
  3. Only 'thought' I have on it is agreeing with you (and many others that DO have a degree in meteorology) that Euro has big issues with sleet vs freezing rain. I'm hoping for a lot more sleet vs freezing rain, for everyone.
  4. No PC or vac tubes, lol. It had been 'upgraded' a few times, but the original install was mid 70's, they got their money out of it.
  5. All in all, I agree. Biggest 'issue' I have is staying out of the frz rain. If it snows 6 inches, great, snows 10? Awesome. 4" of snow and 3" of sleet? OK. Even more than 10 of snow? Bonus.
  6. LOL, sounds like my workplace. Last 14 years I was there I worked a 'temp 6 month changeover' going from a DOS system (yes, in 2009) to not one, but two systems that DID NOT communicate with each other (mainly because financial side wanted to 'see' everything and the actual machine/field side thought that system was too complicated). An interface was built to do the hand-offs, but it NEVER worked right and was a pure disaster at the first location down in Texas when we went down to put it online. That '6 month project' I rode out on until I retired, it did get slightly better the last 3 years, but wow. The 'savings' claimed by the folks that came up with that cost each location a minimum of four new people/positions to babysit and fix the errors/failures.
  7. Eyeballing those panels looks like about 11" here. 8" snow and 3" sleet then a .1 of ice. That is OK, minus that the OTG total after it stops will be in the 7" range. It'll be around a while though.
  8. Well, NWS Blacksburg at least has ALL the bases covered lol
  9. I'm about to go pull up my post from Tuesday when the northern folks were cheering on the massive N trends and I was boo'd for "saying careful what you wish for, we could get 2-6 and then slop as NYC basks in 15"
  10. Temps at a first glance, but I have a hard time thinking it would be off that much ?
  11. Somehow the column between ground/850/700 is -8 to -2 and it is showing sleet?? Right.
  12. Congrats! I did my lifetime alcohol consumption between 16 and 21. Lucky I'm still here. I have no issues with folks drinking (long as they stay away from the wheel after), I just don't want to chance going down that road, so I made the decision to not drink again.
