It's pretty remarkable when dust creates those conditions. I would think Iraq sees 20-30 days like that a year with plenty others that aren't AS bad

1.5 mile vis HZ BLDU haha

I just launched a weather balloon when the winds were 28mph sustained, gusting to 40-45mph. Good times. Helps build character

From Central/Western Forum

They are doing just fine actually. Tons of 1-2' totals as of Noon. One snotel station in the Laramie Range has 52.5" as of this afternoon on 3.5" LE. They are getting crushed now. It was delayed, but not denied.

Denver is getting crushed. They are now at 3rd highest daily snowfall ever and will likely pass #2 within the hour. Doubt they match 2003 (31.2"), but still impressive after last nights false start.

Here's a money shot frame right here Can see the front range Rockies convergence towards Denver and areas to the north. The 700mb moisture field shows a beautiful mid-level low with moisture wrap into where the CCB positioning would be. The storm is basically stacked at that point in your image. Absolute beauty

Yeah. BOU has been going with ECM and Deterministic blend for days since the GFS has been jumpy and not nearly as consistent with the handling of the 5H low. It tends to struggle with them out here. We lean more Euro as well with these situations.

Estes, hills of Boulder, and Fort Collins in CO, Cheyanne to Scottsbluff in WY/NE. It's going to be wild to watch. Very dynamic system. 110+kt 5H jet max rolling through the base. It'll strengthen over SE CO late tomorrow into Sunday. It's the perfect combo for a Front Range special.

The TROWAL with this will be textbook and worthy of studying. It's very pronounced on guidance as you can see the 700mb moisture field wrap into the CCB on guidance. Sometimes you'll see hints of it on guidance, but this sticks like a sore thumb. There will be some incredible rates in this one. 2-4"/hr for hrs is not out of the question.

I remember this game. Costa Rica was so mad that it was played, but hey, all conditions that aren't life threatening. Not going to die from snow. Home field advantage ftw lol

Golden/Boulder/Fort Collins line in CO going to see 2-4' of snow from this one. It'll be an event to remember in those parts.

We lost all our 7-11's out here to a local place that bought them and changed it. I miss them and Rita's. Summers just hit different with them. Although, we have some dang good ice cream shops out here.

Did you say the Keys, as in the Florida Keys? If so, my wife and I would visit once or twice a year and we could meet up! We LOVE the Keys. Heading down late summer. It’s always a gamble in Hurricane season, but when there’s no canes, it’s amazing at a more affordable rate. I legit cannot wait to go. .

We actually do need a OLB. That was an Achilles heel for us last year, especially vs good vertical passing squads. I see Brown gone from the Ravens. We need multiple positions and have limited Cap space. I can see us fulfilling the void with making Brown happy to get back to LT somewhere while bringing in a nice selection of picks/players. .

Did you know that if you play a Nickelback CD backwards, it plays a long message from satan? But even worse if you play it forward, it plays Nickelback. .

It's only for opening day from what I heard. 50% after. Actually not a bad idea. Things will be back to almost 100% by summer at the rate of vaccinations for attendance. It's baseball, so high outdoors, which studies have shown has helped limit spread. It's a great step still. I hope to attend some ball games this year. Will probably go visit the new stadium at Arlington! Heard it's beautiful.

Reminds me of the fall last year Rutgers was allowing 500 fans in for football and people were like, "THIS IS NO TIME TO BE ADDING MORE FANS THAN NORMAL!" I chuckled lol

Also reposting from Banter since I missed this being a thread.... Back to cicadas, a reminder to the people with green thumbs here, do NOT plant any new fruit trees or bushes this spring until the Brood is dead. They will destroy them because they love the nutrients from fruit forward plants. If you currently have fruit trees and plants, make sure to cover them with a net to prevent invasions of them from getting to them. Saw this when I was reading up scientific info on Brood X. I will never forget the 2004 Brood in my neighborhood. I lived right next to Graham State Forest and we were inundated beyond belief.

The big storm that was missed was more of a situation where climo came back to bite with regards to how the storm unfolded. You need anomalous amplification of the trough with a farther south transfer, as well a primary as lower latitude to prevent either being skipped over, or warm air flooding through the mid-levels to cause an abrupt change in ptype. That last part was why the failures were more common this year. WAA snowfalls are efficient when the antecedent airmass ahead of the storm is more arctic in nature and not an in-situ situation where there's moderating boundary layer temps due to a vacating high pressure, or weakening high over Quebec/Northern New England. It can produce some prolific snowfall. The timing was off several times, and WAA ALWAYS is under-modeled in the Mid Atlantic. That's where knowing climo is important. The higher elevated areas north and west of the fall line will ultimately win more times than not due to colder temps favored to hang around longer. With so many storms taking the WAA route, and pretty much all of them with in-situ CAD signatures as fresh arctic air was not present during the systems, it ended up being even more pronounced in the favored regions, adding to the frustration. You NEED fresh arctic cold in the low lands/east of the fall line to score big events. Those are fewer and far between historically, however. I know a lot of people are frustrated, especially with models busting terribly this year for whatever reason. It MAY have something to do with lower data feeds from aviation thanks to Covid? I don't have the answer to that specificity. The fact they were able to sniff out events pretty well this year was a positive, but the short term was rough. It was an anomaly in performance compared to the past. We'll see if there's a shift later next fall/winter. Meteorology, not modelology

My comprehensive snowfall forecast for the area.

I know exactly where you went haha. That's funny. You certainly weren't the only ones who did that. Father told me bunch of buddies of his used to do that too. They just chugged low speed and hopped on the back.

Damn. I'm sure my dad has been around your block once or twice. Small world eh haha My grandfather (Moms father) still lives in the Gardens. He's super reserved, so he doesn't bother with anyone around there.
