My big concern was the driving with a crummy car for snow, crummy tires, and just no experience doing it. Was gonna interrogate ya’ll about it after. Sounds like it wasn’t too bad

Also - for whatever my opinion is worth, the server doesn’t have a moderation problem or a people problem. It’s largely a lack of snow problem… plus a little bit of COVID that truly destroyed social order everywhere and we may never recover. There will always be better posters than others, and my recall is that a lot of people have always only shown up for real threats. We’ll always have young people showing up, but that’s how you grow the forum and hopefully make better posters. Forum is better when it snows… that’s all it is. Prob would also help to have meetups again so we don’t only know each other virtually but that’s always tricky (again sort of a COVID problem) I also think people have forgotten how to use Banter and the Panic Room - latter of which is on @WxWatcher007for leaving us

It’s feeling like time to book a quick mountain getaway… maybe finally the year I make it out to Deep Creek

AIFS has a nice look Day 10 - temps are a little warm at the surface but verbatim it spits out a T-2” snow for favored spots Hopefully it’s a real window and we’re back to discrete tracking in a few days!

Shows basically nada on WxBell too, not that it matters at range

Just for you

I thought it was a small tick toward the EURO re: phasing but definitely running low on time here. pretty crazy how different even the GFS and the hires models are at 500 in the period of interest. Doesn’t make much of a different for us of course but it’s interesting

Tick the right way? Almost some interaction between streams. Tries to get some precip more north

A forum built for tracking weather and mostly snow is making a thread for an event in the short range even if the odds are long? Heartbreaking. How will we ever recover our credibility

Just can’t quit this storm. Little bit of phasing was all it took to get a bit of action back. Having something to track is half the fun for me so I appreciate the digital entertainment

Barring any pop up surprises we seem to be pretty cooked until the 12th. Time to focus on the New Years’ resolutions that we’re all gonna drop by mid-January before getting back to tracking snow!

Delicate enough setup that it willing to wait til Friday night runs to call it dead. Happy New Year and good luck to those who try and stay up for any squall action tonight!

Still snows at the end of the run, lol

I actually think I would hate it if it kept snowing 100% of the time. Part of the joy is the rarity and the chase. Different strokes

Definitely gonna do the lake effect chase in the coming years but it’s “fake effect” snow too, imo. Honestly think it would get boring to live there.

See you here in 2027. And 2028. Etc If we were a smarter group we’d all go in on a piece of property up there. Or even something at DCL.

Yesterday’s 18z remains the high water mark. Still have time, but would’ve hoped for a little more progress from that point.

850s are kind of shot though. Tricky balance for this one and we’re already playing behind. I’m cautiously unoptimistic (pessimistic?) but what else is there to do

Pretty massive jump. Interesting at least… said earlier about 4-5 of the ens members had it.

If this threat also includes the 2 flakes to a dusting we might get tonight I’m all for it

We gotta be deep in the gutter for me to look at the RAP but it's also got some light stuff. Def wouldn't turn down a dusting to close the month

A handful (4-5) of members bring the coastal far enough north to bring some wintry precip here. LWX actually shouted it out in their AFD as well. It would be an outlier outcome but something to watch while we wait for greener pastures.

Rumor is EPS look okay - but still anything before Jan. 10 is probably a slight miracle. Counting on the SWS tonight to deliver.

Lock it in?

I am actually super tilted this morning. I realize how stupid this is since I was ecstatic less than 24 hours ago, but I'm about ready to punt the first two weeks of January. Gross.
