I’ll be pretty disappointed if we creep towards Christmas and have nothing to show for it.

We will have the grinch, like always

Epo really negative going positive

And the storm will be a big rainstorm. Wtf.

I said this very thing several times over the past few months. It's mind boggling.

Get a good look at what’s happening around Buffalo. Won’t see anything like that around here for a while.

Ever?

Lol

I do love how the only place in New England with a low bias is Tolland CT lol

873 posts and a 5 year old account make me doubt that this was the process you used to find this thread.

No one... I mean absolutely no one... should be using social media to make decisions. We have an entire agency devoted to providing that information. This place is for the average person to discuss the weather, it's impacts, and related topics. It so happens that a few mets have nothing better to do with their time and like to join in, too. It gets off topic at times. Cope. No one is forcing you to be here.

Imagine complaining about "dirtying" up a thread while.... being guilty of the same. 

Imagine having to imagine this

Friend of mine prepping in Fort Myers. There could be boats crashing through the window but she ain't moving if they're still making martinis.

 

Why is Amy Klobuchar in Fort Myers? Cool that your friends with the Klobs though.

Here's hoping 98L doesn't become Hurricane "Ian".

I can't stand these "I" names. Last year's "Ida" could've easily been Hurricane "Julian" which was much cooler sounding than "Ida". If 98L is destined to be a memorable storm, I'm hoping for "Hermine" or "Julia" or "Karl". Not another freaking "I" storm. Please. 

Tough cookies mate

I can't imagine sticking around when half my town is told to evacuate. Like there's an invisible wall stopping the effects from impacting them bc they were not mandated to evacuate. lol 

But, but...

Yeah honestly-hard to have much sympathy for people in Ft Myers/Cape Coral that stayed. If you’re told to leave and warned for days about the storm and refuse, that’s on you. And if they assumed EMS can come get them now, that’s a hella rude awakening for them too. Those surge maps showed maybe 90% of Cape Coral underwater up to 9 feet. With 200k people there, if even 10% decided to stay, yikes. 

A lot of elderly people can't really travel, period. Has happened a lot in Ukraine, where most of the civilians still living in heavy conflict areas are the ones who were too old to leave in February.

Where are the sharks when you need them?

Probably moved to calmer waters already, they aren't stupid like humans

They will never find Brian Laundrie now

I guess you are riding the line up in them hills

We hope 

Between rain and sleet, maybe lol

correlation coefficient is your friend

Is it sticking? 
 

The line is definitely further east than NAM had it, but still not far enough east for us. I’m trying to figure out exactly where the line is, how many miles northwest from here.

Where is JC

same place as always

Yeah...they should incorporate them into the algorithms even if they don't produce all of the maps at 1hr intervals. The depth is computed by the model so the positive depth change will be more smooth than the vendor clowns. You'll see here the precip is just starting to mix in central MA under those purple reflectivities. Pivotal is throwing 3-4" of snow there along the CT river. The positive depth change only indicates about 0.5".

One thing I learned from messing around with the raw files is that a lot of these contour maps are providing an auto-gradient between data points that actually implies level of precision that doesn't actually exist when you look at them using a block grid plot. Except for the hires like HRRR and 3km, of course, those models are extremely detailed. Really actually makes you appreciate that no, you aren't supposed use the 48hr HRRR for questioning the GFS's synoptics lol, but it absolutely provides a look at a resolution of detail that simply isn't possible with a 0.25 degree grid.

That's a pivotal issue with ptype and how they label the previous 3hr QPF as either rain or snow. That's why it's jagged contours right up through here and into Maine.

That's odd because GFS is available in 1 hour increments

I wonder what went wrong for the few locations that wound up with an inch. I mean NWS forecast called for 1-3 so it’s not a bust, but so many got so much more snow. Elevation was a thing but not a hard rule, West Hartford is like 150 feet and got hammered. I’m higher than they are and got an inch.
 

My thoughts are simply, some pockets of warmer air and less precip intensity. Duh. 
 

But why tho?
