  1. sorry. I was talking about myself not others. That is all.
  2. yeah. At any rate there is no reason to pollute a historic snowstorm thread with further negativity here. My sis and young neices live near Ray and I am totally stoked for them. Snowforts are the best as a kid... literally the BEST. Amazing pics coming out. We'll enjoy the random 2-4" jackpots and maybe we'll get another Feb 2001 someday or relocate.
  3. Pretty sure we understand measuring techniques as well as any other part of the state
  4. we've busted bigger snowtotal forecasts we've seen sharper gradients we've missed in more directions simulaneously but at least there was a good reason
  5. after a few more hours of this we might not be able to see grass poking through.
  6. Tend to agree. Thinking advy stuff for E Hampshire/Hampden counties. Being on the far eastern edge I could see eking out 6". Good news is that with low expectations, it's mostly upside. Unlike with so many others...
  7. Localized but significant straight line wind damage overnight in Godley (Johnson County). Decent line today through the metroplex and maybe one more round coming later on with the fropa.
  8. IIRC the northern stream was a little bit late arriving on 3/5/01 which kept the totals on the western side on the lower end of the range. Even today that would be relatively hard to model
  9. 18"+ type stuff. Hardly unprecedented, but certainly not a bad way to close out a millennium.
  10. I have some equally blown out (sweet) pics of 12/31/00 but every time that storm is mentioned here someone drowns a kitten in eastern MA. At any rate, we've seen things on that order here plenty of times recently. March and April 01 stand alone however.
  11. lol. Those are digital pics of faded prints from a CVS disposable wind up cam. If they weren't so epic they'd be tossed a long time ago. Hopefully we can make them obsolete some day soon.
  12. I can never pass up a chance to wax about 3/01... Jay Peak summit looked like something from way out west. Sorry for the horrific pic quality.
  13. nice job, and GL As an aside, hiked Mt. Wheeler on 10/1... snow began to appear around 11.4k', ramped up sharply above about 12.2k'. Stray post holes might swallow up your whole leg in places... And the wind was out of control near the peak as the late Sept trough finally ejected.. Beautiful, incredible place.
  14. some decent and much needed rainfall this afternoon and evening in parts of the metroplex. Ft Worth got in on it earlier. Grapevine and Irving on the north side of DFW airport had nuisance level street flooding. Even Garland and Mesquite had a nice cell move through. We'll take it at any rate.
  15. UPRM has a radar program and X bands in hand that will play in AWIPS2, but infrastructure was an issue before Maria and she certainly won't make it easier to keep things online without some funding.
  16. If only we could put this NAM run on layaway for 6 mos
  17. FWD just tweeted out that Arlington Municipal Airport picked up .85" in 8 minutes. Good to see the metroplex cashing in here in the first couple days of June after a relatively dry May and before the ridging takes hold. I would say that the DFW airport totals for the month (4th dryest May) is a bit fluky and are not totally representative of conditions around the metro as a whole, but no doubt it was dry, particularly on the western side. Areas further east did a little better... also north up by Denton.
  18. Seriously heavy rain over N Ft Worth and Denton and may move over Dallas in a bit. approaching 4" in the last hour in places.
  19. Poor NH peeps... I blame these threads and of course the wx most misspelled words by state 2016 2017... everything changes, except in NH
  20. Some low end straight line wind damage was recorded NW of Denton last night (Slidell, Krum), and some planes were damaged. There was a leading edge rotation signature on the UNT radar though it skirted the SW edge of the airport and started to dissipate.
  21. From the Furuno X band radar at Univ of North Texas
