This whole work from home thing.... I have a business that employs 24 people. 24 people that depend on having a place to work every day in order to support their family. I am currently struggling with, not just riding one thin line...but riding several at the same time. I cant pour concrete from home. I cant excavate from home. I cant give quotes from home. I cant enter a closed permit office. Trying to protect the office staff...trying to protect our service crews that have customer contact multiple times daily, trying to protect our customers, trying to protect our construction crews...it's all freaking daunting. The retraction in revenues is absolutely impossible to predict. What else do I do but prepare for a worse-case scenario? Example - Travel restrictions for non essential personnel lasting greater than 4 weeks. Those preparations and changes that will protect us personally from a worst-case scenario will greatly impact a very minor segment of the local population. But, I am just one hole in the wall business...This will have a long-term effect on our economy and general way of life, IMO. You cant just spring back from 8+ weeks of America "down-time." I truly hope I am wrong. If it's anything like my snowfall prediction...hey, we'll be in good shape! Just venting to someone other than my wife....

A little late to the party man...this post was from back in the good old days before covid-19 and politics took over banter.

Mod sleet/rain mix shower right now with the leading edge. 51/21

Massive slug of March coming out of the gulf would be fun no doubt. GFS has been pretty spot on this season with 2mT 12 days out...so, pretty sure that part is a lock.

If its gonna happen...this aint a bad look leading in. Give me 60/70s or give me snow...I'm good either way. Anywhere in between is just annoying but probably closer to reality.

Fishing reels restrung, a rumble of thunder and peepers doing their thing creekside...it's officially spring. On March 3rd.

Euro looking diggy with the ns so far...

Looks like 06z continues the trend...getting close to some interaction with the ss wave on the latest run. Maybe this is a long shot but it will keep me interested as long as we keep seeing baby steps. If we can start to see the 2 interact just a little bit I would think we may see the ns dive further south as a result.

Hardly a cloud in the sky....current pressure 999.3mb. Must be in the eye...

Almost 10 days out...I am fine with the gfs. It seems to be making baby steps each run in the right direction. We have gotten rid of the GL low that was on earlier runs and now made a move toward more HP in SE Can.

Yeah....Either the gfs is up to its usual games or the idea of blocking in that region is just being picked up on again as we get closer. H180 is even more robust...

Most, if not all frozen...

06z EPS with another incremental nudge in the right direction...A tick slower so will have to keep an eye on that trend as well. 06/00z

yeah...much better CAD signal....stronger high that holds on longer. The clown maps are misleading I think because it slowed things down just a bit and the run ends at 144...as you noted.

GFS not backing down on the mega NAO block as we near D10. A sight to see for sure.....

Got it...much appreciated. So, in determining the general idea of where the split flow is....flowing, you are looking for where the height lines deviate from that uniform look?

Curious...whats your take on the 06z GEFS? Same timeframe....with a more robust signal cutting under the ridge.

I know PSU and Bob have mentioned this several times..But that look at the end of the EPS run with the bagginess off the west coast and a signal that the STJ is undercutting the PNA ridge is money. LR caveats and all...but man that is a nice look.

06z gfs goes bonkers over GL....Seems we are getting some consensus on a stout NAO block that fades into an EPO ridge. But, it could just end up being a ridge bridge longer than what is currently depicted. Also notice a nice uptick in hits as the the NAO fades and EPO takes over. The looks across the board have me drooling! ETA: Trough axis on the LR EPS is sweet. Starts at hr300 and hold through the end of the run.

Little bit of a CAD in that image! Check out the ridging across GL at the same time...

EPS at range looks great for pressing cold and not overwhelming cold. I could care less if the bay freezes over. Nice to see HP in western Can that seems to just linger while nosing SE. GEFS has pretty much the same look.

Looking at the EPS D10-15 members...a lot of slow moving arctic fronts with waves moving riding the fronts. Some we win and some we dont. Obviously, ens arent going to pick up on a threat like they would if we had a miller A out of the gulf. Again, reminiscent of 14/15.

GEPS has the same idea at 12z...a nice improvement from an already decent 00z run. Hinting at a ridge bridge... ETA...slow typer...Bob beat me to the punch!

Can't seem to get the scan ridge to move ploeward on most op and ens runs.... But, the gfs gets the pattern out of the crapper through retrogression of the PAC ridge. Only reason it is notable imo is the eps showed this as well at 12z. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk
