I'm gonna have to stay up and go out, if I can, on Sunday night with this next storm. Midnight Sunday could be something I've never seen before. Heavy snow with temps between 4-8 degrees. Absolutely incredible

That NAM split is probably one of the most astonishing misses for an area I've ever seen. Just.....wow

Just want to let you guys know that 2mT verification on the Euro is not good right now for areas south of I-80. It's got a significant warm bias as it struggles with the shallow cold airmasses. Just a reminder when looking at model temps verbatim as it could be too warm within the boundary layer. This will be significant for the weekend potential.

That's sort of what we're looking at here too. Not as prolific mid-level frontogen, but decent 5H PVA with large scale ascent increasing east of the Continental Divide. It's got great potential if it holds together to drop 3-6" of pure powder and even more if the 5H presentation can close off near NM. That's what dreams would be made of there.

If I could control the weather, we'd look like downtown Buffalo here and back home

My wife is in the room with me and that's reserved for Mozilla Firefox......Wait.........

LOL .

If he lived closer, I would absolutely go pick up Jeb!!

This isn't even the coldest part of the whole run!!! The lowest snow total on guidance now is a 'paltry' 2.5" on the CMC. I don't even believe what is happening. It keeps trending colder!!!

I may have to put this up on my fridge or something. This is absolutely bananas for Midland, TX!!!!!

I'm shooting for LWX and WPC. WPC would be pretty awesome and so would the WFO. I'll take either. I'm continuing to work hard so I can have the opportunity. Fingers crossed!

Thanks Man! I'm actually off the desk now after 8 in a row. I have 2 teleworks with a few projects I can work on, then a 4 day weekend during the whole event. Gonna be watching closely, and staying warm. Looks like 24-48 hrs of freezing drizzle and fog before the snow too. Gonna be wild. I'll be posting pics in Banter of my ordeal. One for the record books most likely. CIPS analogs last few days have been just absurd.

Those mountains are a pita, but they do help with the cold air locking in once east of them. Catch 22 with the Apps.

I still can't believe the temperature numbers being spit out on guidance down here. It's gonna rival 1985 in some regards which is the holy grail of cold for Midland. That and 1962. Add snow to the mix, and it could top it. I'm giddy and also already cold lol

I've been barking at that threat for some in this forum with this pattern. Screams ice somewhere

@losetoa6 As a met on the forum, I do appreciate all your posts on here and you liven up the forum with your analysis and optimism. I know things can be tough to deal with, but this forum is ultimately better with you. I'm with @WinterWxLuvr when he says your support on this board is legit 99-1 and that's a major low ball. I hope you reconsider. If you ever want to chat, please PM me!

It's definitely surprising. We are above 925mb out here. The mountains in our CWA range from 4500-7300' in the Davis Mountains, and 4500-8300' in the Guadalupe Mtns. The tallest point in the state is Guadalupe Mountain in the National Park. It's it's own world up there. On a clear day, you can see straight into Mexico over 100 miles away. Unreal stuff. Texas Panhandle is between 2600-3400' above sea level. AMA is one of the windiest major towns/cities in America. 2nd I think to Cheyenne, WY.

Lol. I haven't seen almost anything for east coast. This is historic territory down here, so I've been busy af with our weather, I think I saw anywhere from 3-6" from GFS and 5-10" from Euro out here, so possibly. It'll be cold smoke whatever falls. 850mb temps are ~ -19C, so it's zany. I've never seen anything like this, let alone this far south. I went down to the National Park literally right after they closed for Covid. I was sad lol. But I haven't yet, but plan to in the future! Probably this coming fall. It's gorgeous down that way. Midland is okay. Not my cup of tea. People are okay I guess. Some friendly and some that have no personality. It's living in a desert basically. High desert at 2870' above sea level. Areas to my north are over 3000'. It's a great place for oil, agriculture to the north, and home ton the dry line. We do wind really well out here. When the wind is at 15-20 mph and gusts to 30 mph, it's basically a normal day in the area. No one bats an eye lol

Guys..... The ensemble blend from NBM is showing a 50th percentile high of 13F on Sunday for Midland. A BLEND is showing 13F.....with snow the Sunday night into Monday morning with temps in the low to mid SINGLE DIGITS. I'm scared this is the apocalypse lol

They don't even know how many bunnies you save either and how much time you spend sending other people your snow. I'm kind of surprised myself.

Just a heads up for everyone. This storm will be monitored by me, and I'll be making drive-by posts on occasion, but we got a potential historic cold outbreak for this weekend, so all my attention is on work atm. I'll post my 2cents every now and then, but my obligations are elsewhere. Hopefully everyone can cash 4+" with this multi-wave setup. Good luck!

I went to Millersville with Pete. He's a great guy. Graduated a year before me. He reached out to me because his dad watches the forum during winter and saw my posts and asked him if that was me. I'm actually in contact with him on any job openings at WPC within my pay grade. I would LOVE to work there. Fingers crossed!
