  1. Hey, I still have a little snow pile outside my apartment building from this week's 2 inches. A little bit made it through yesterday's normal 55 degrees. This week had a 2 inch snowfall that mostly melted overnight, we had a thick frost another morning, then black ice another morning..and a tiny snowpile outside. Winter has arrived to Upstate Mid Atlantic!
  2. The agreement between the models is strong. Also, there isn't going to be a huge opening for the system to track as far NW as I think we want. ALSO, the cutoff between no snow and SNOW is very sharp. Plus, winter patterns have sucked lately. Discouraging.
  3. 12Z runs didn't bring anything more encouraging. If anything, the systems may be showing up farther west, but NOT north. Just getting squashed from moving any more north. We finally get some cold, but...... Seems like past several winters, if we can get any more north, it will do the sharp turn and go waaay north that we need it. aka becomes a cutter.
  4. We had some consistent runs for days with a few "potential" systems earlier in the season...and then they tracked way NW within a few days of the systems. Will that work out for us in this case, or will it be one of those annoying situations where the models sniff it out and stay the course...
  5. It is my white powder addiction. I need more. Give me more. I wouldn't kill anybody for it...but maybe close enough.
  6. Wow, and seeing only 5 to 7 inches of snow UP to this point in December has been bad enough. I can't imagine a whole winter of only getting that much. Look at you. Crushing my weenie dreams first with a weenie tag...and now denying me the hope of even an inch of snow.
  7. The Icon, to me, seems like a model that does "ok" getting a general idea of track...but is awful with specifics.
  8. Good point. I was thinking the same. I would say the odds of us getting at least SOME snow and white on the ground are increasing. Areal coverage across the NE increasing as well.
  9. I hope the first one works out for the 95 crew and the next one does the same for us.
  10. The amount of stress at work and the month and a half of dreary, brown landscape is taking a serious toll on my emotional (and physical) health. Many may not get it, but SNOW really is a rejuvenating, uplifting source for my everyday mood. The brightness factor. The cold, crisp air wakes one up. I miss winter...and definitely need some right now.
  11. I looked... A couple of cutters? You don't say... One for Christmas? lol
  12. LOL! Well...I'll be in Tennessee for the week, so it won't be so bad knowing I am not missing anything up here.
  13. For sure. Whatever snow we do get may not even make it to Christmas. I have been soooo busy at work I haven't even had time to look at Christmas week.
  14. I wish I could move to Worth or the UP and teleport to work. Asking too much?
  15. Hopeful to get an inch or so of scattered lake effect snow showers earlier in the week just to give the wintry appeal just in case that end of the week system finds a way to avoid us. Asking too much?
  16. Going on with my "heavy frost" post from this morning...I got excited because I almost slipped on black ice in the parking lot at work this morning. It was a sheet of ice. Woo wee! Winter came with a-vengeance overnight. Thank goodness we hit the lower 50s today to melt that "winter" away....................................................................................................
  17. Heavy frost on the cars this morning. Woo-wee! Looks like winter...I have declined to discussing frost depths as if I'm a poster on the Mid-Atlantic subforum. My frost is thicker than yours!
  18. One positive, I guess, is that models last weekend weren't really showing anything for this past week, and we managed to get a semi-event in the middle of the week. This seems like a pattern where little disturbances will be seen a couple days before they slip through.
  19. Pathetic when our 2 inches of snow from yesterday mostly melted OVERNIGHT last night. Couldn't even survive 24 hours. Then, today it was the Seattle overcast with drizzle and 40 degrees. Just awful. Blood test from the doctor showed my Vitamin D levels down to 14 ng/mL...guess I've "acclimated" to the Central NY climate.........
  20. The time period between December 19th and 26th is a lock. Why? Because I am going to Tennessee. The one and only snowstorm of the month will happen in that time frame. Lock. it. in.
  21. Wow, looking at local webcams...totally different world here than closer to the city of Syracuse. The ground is completely covered here, while in Syracuse itself there is barely a coating. Syracuse really is a larger UHI than one would think.
  22. Working towards 2 inches here. Biggest snowfall of the year so far. haha
