miserable, damp

Heavy damp virga here

Meanwhile, euro ticking colder for next week.  HP exits slower.

Has it though?

most were hugging the globals and had a whiff until shortly beforehand.  Not all fortunately.

Maybe we'll find out the pac really does drive the bus all the time and Tuesday will piss rain to Canada... but literally it was just yesterday that the GFS (especially) was showing something we haven't seen in a long time, which is the low levels saving us from a horrific upper air pattern, not just once but repeatedly.  QC HP pulling victory out of the jaws of defeat.   Perhaps just another model fantasy, we'll see.

Go forward and check out that PAC blood bath. 

It's not in debate that the pac sucks thereafter... the glass half full view is that the warm air push could be cut off at the pass over some of New England.  Kind of like the Tuesday potential.

Even beyond that panel above, EPS continues to funnel cold air into eastern Canada with a certain amount of ridging N of AK and maybe a weak +NAO.  Possibly a gradient pattern,  miller B looks, or CAD, but any given storm might have a decent source it could tap into.

GEFS (which aren’t great) in the 11-15 day look better than the EPS which are hideous.

I've seen hideous'er EPS day 11-15 looks

4" final

Still pinging here in Btown, though do see occasional flakes mixed in.  We may flip back soon.

As expected snow growth improved mightily in Charlemont down to Greenfield as that warm layer pushed closer.  Sn+

Bad lift, nuisance snow at Berkshire East.  Need that warm air aloft to push north west for some of these models to verify this way.

was lousy to wake up to a half inch tops, but making hay now.

Really coming down here in the last 15 minutes. Looks like we've got close to a half an inch with this last round

same.  best of the day here.  Very low vis.

Calling it a coating would be generous but I guess that was kind of fun

new warnings dropping up and down the front edge now

There’s a madison river valley HADS site in West Yellowstone that reported -71° yesterday morning (MDSM8). Maybe it’s wrong, but it’s an interesting little bowl there. Maybe it radiates like the moon like Peter Sinks?

I believe that would be an all time record low for the CONUS if valid

you know what the worst thing about peacock?  You can't project content with an HDMI port to an external display.   It's mind boggling.  And in my case, my Dell laptop running Ubuntu won't even let me play content locally, because the device itself has an HDMI port.

It all comes down to the lost beer, hotdog, and merch sales.  That's close to 2.5 million at a full stadium.  The NFL calls Hochul and says, "Get out there and cancel the game. Blame it on whatever you need to, but keep us out of it."

Not sure if this is tongue in cheek, but I kind of doubt that played in.  This is Buffalo after all.  There would be zero lost beer and hotdog sales.

literally not a week since jackpotting a big storm-- must be something in the water

sun has popped out several times, and within minutes it's cloudy and we're raining again.  Little tiny convective showers with fat droplets.

Like most major decisions, it was made in conjunction with NWS folks and emergency management leaders...  It really is not even about the game perse; it's about the safety of having thousands of travelers on the road and no way to get to them...  Folks have short memories about how many people died last year in the Buf blizzard.  I'd love to see a game in blizzard conditions, but it's the big picture more than the game....

I'm not editorializing on the decision, but I've seen a bunch of unhappy folks ripping the NFL when they're just doing what they're told in this instance.  Not that the NFL needs me to defend em.

So the National Fairy League postponed the Bills until Monday due to weather.

Kathy Hochul made the call fwiw

Some other notable WINDEX events I remember: 

Feb 10, 2008

Feb 2, 2001

Mar 3, 1996

Nov 23, 1994

Dec 1, 2003

We had a good one in I think Feb 1989…awful winter but good squall that dumped a quick inch  can’t remember exact date though.

 

The 1/28/10 event though was by far the largest for me since it dumped a quick 4”…the 1-2” events happen every now and then but 4” is rare outside of the mountain-enhanced terrain spots.

 

great stuff as always

this was our most recent one that I can recall... disco picks up for the fropa on page 18

DFW has been below 10° once since 1996.

As an aside, the low of 2 they put up on 2/16/2021 in today's global climate, and with the massive local growth that's occurred and associated UHI impacts, has to be the most anomalous number in their entire climo record.  Next lowest going forward on the calendar is 10.
