Nice. Has been a fantastic day out there. 27 for the low here, which was the first hard frost, though we'd tickled freezing a few times already.

Trick or treater record smashed like high mins, nearly doubled actually. Maybe it's a good sign for winter.

You mean those aren't sticks and branches falling?

Is there anything worse than running out of candy on Halloween? Group of 15 kids comes marching down the driveway and I have like 12 chocolate bars left and find myself quickly scrambling around for protein bars and bags of sunflower seeds. Who's an a-hole? This guyyyy

EF3 140mph per FWD

Also spitballing but it seems like the BN temps this month occurred mainly in cool overcast/rainy days and in weak CAA in the wake of departing systems with breezes up. Makes sense they'd overperform in that case compared to if we had a bunch of calm radiating nights with big fake cold anomalies. Up until yesterday morning we hadn't had a frost at my house, which is a bit later than normal. But it's not like it's been torchy for the most part either.

Nothing to prevent your town from doing it on their own, such as was done in the picturesque village of Woodstock, VT. Helps to have some Rockefellers to pay for it, like they did. But there's always prop 2 1/2.

We're grateful for the warm weather Please support your local farmers, we are very lucky to have them.

To take nothing away from Castlerock but I also will usually keep to Mt. Ellen on a powder day. I do feel that Sugarbush shortchanges operations there however, and I became quite frustrated at them last year. Never runs the Inverness Chair... Makes very little effort to get anything open if there is any kind of wind delay, even as it subsides... Seems to let the North Ridge chair go down and stay down for extended periods, even though mid mountain is virtually unskiable if you have to do the runout every time. I hope things improve over there because the terrain is outstanding and there are pockets of untouched super deep snow to be found days after most other things are tracked out. It's a gem.

Yep I was there the 23rd making powder turns on Goniff.... And that was before the 30" that fell a few days later. Best start to the season ever, an all timer in the books in met fall. The first day of met winter wasn't shabby either

What a beastly little storm.

thunderstorm complex held together better than expected this morning and dropped a fair amount of precip across the metroplex, particularly east of Dallas (Garland/Mesquite) where they're pushing 2-3". Parts of Ft Worth did ok too, and along the I35E corridor.

huge 4.25" hail in Comanche county, reflectivity levels nearly off the charts, and a TBSS. Big time instability today.

storm complex held together and strengthened as it pushed through the east side of Dallas producing fairly strong/marginally severe gusts and lots of small hail.

Mesoscale Discussion 0516 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1121 AM CDT Fri May 25 2018 Areas affected...North Texas Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 251621Z - 251845Z Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent SUMMARY...A few strong wind gusts are possible as storms move south across the area today, but severe weather is not expected. DISCUSSION...A complex of storms with southward-surging outflow is currently crossing the Red River into TX. These storms are not severe as of 16Z, but have produced 30-40 mph wind gusts. Some increase in intensity is possible this afternoon. The 12Z FWD sounding shows around 3000 J/kg MUCAPE when modified for current surface conditions. Although shear profiles are weak, storms are expected to forward-propagate and maintain and/or increase slightly. An isolated severe wind gust cannot be ruled out, but severe coverage is not expected to warrant a watch at this time. In addition to wind, marginal hail is possible as well given cool temperatures aloft and substantial instability. ..Jewell/Hart.. 05/25/2018

DFW sounding showed some pretty good lapse rates this morning and 3km nam really ramps up the surface instability later on. Windfields are a bit of a mess, though strong aloft. The storm complex in OK is through Ardmore at present and hasn't weakened too much just yet... If it can keep pushing past the Red River I think there's a decent shot SPC ups the metroplex to slight risk later on. Forcing is pretty weak without that OFB...

big time squall at BDL ongoing

sorry. I was talking about myself not others. That is all.

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.

Pretty sure we understand measuring techniques as well as any other part of the state

0-1" of snow on the ground going in 3" new

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

eff the pivot

after a few more hours of this we might not be able to see grass poking through.
