If that's a serious offer... feel free to PM me. I work remote, am increasingly desperate, and am very willing to meet folks.

I’ll meet you in the Catskills based on the EPS. About a 17” 3 day mean at a Day 6 range can’t fail… right?

I'm considering this to be an official forecast:

Big news folks

Was sending you a PM but you can't receive them - appreciate the advice and know it is coming from the heart & experience, which is crazy (in a nice way) to do unsolicited for someone online. If you are ever in the D.C. area and bored, would love to grab a drink. Guess that goes for everyone here - one day there will be a meet up again.

Great post - thanks for the advice. Happy to have summoned you here if even for a second, haha. It's obviously a tough issue and probably something that can only be gleaned in hindsight. I've always been a nose to the grindstone kind of guy -- well, except for the fact I'm posting here during work hours, whoops. What has tended to make me happy is achievement in some way -- professional, financial, academic, etc etc. In a non-egotistical way (if possible), what keeps me going a bit is the idea that I'm great at what I do and I expect that to be rewarded with more money, a new title, whatever. And the perks that come with that - a cool vacation every year, some nice meals out, ad infinitum. I'm young and want to stay hopeful that I'm awesome and can climb for as long as possible. That's the current #grindset. That said, do want to say that I 1000% agree with the heart of your message. Would love to make my money or my mark quickly -- and I'm lucky enough to have a good start -- and check out. Having and building a strong family is ultimately the #1 priority for me - I'd even check out of the rat race at that point if it seemed things were set. I won't care about how fast I got promoted from A to B to C in 30 years... probably won't even care in 5.

Hey, it makes me a bit jealous, which is what the goal likely is. Jealous that he’s got a great thing going with his wife, haha. Thank god my girlfriend is going to law school. Maybe one day I can troll people online about snow while she bills an absurd rate, too. The American Dream

This is an interesting thread.

12z EPS no better for Monday to my eyes

Looking at the 6z ens the 12z OP would've been the most extreme member so I'm curious if we don't see a meager improvement. Think something more dynamic can only help us. If not it's still fun to root for something wicked for someone.

Getting some light snow back into DC at 144 as it goes nuclear around SNE

By 132 or so it stalls and hammers NYC/BOS for good measure. Dunno if we can make that happen further south or not. Collective willpower

Yeah I was surprised to look at the 00z EURO and see it showing a bit of a storm for 95-west. Guess it wasn't brought up last night. This is a step back from that actually but still "interesting" I guess. Not smart enough to figure out if there is any way for us to steal some more cold air or if we just need this to bomb out/amp up/something like that.

You see this panel - what's the first thing that pops into your mind?

Just for context, temps as it starts around 6-7am. Would be a nice snow for the MD/PA line, probably just pretty to watch everywhere else. Need to trend a bit cooler

It's good - wetter and quicker. Might pull some people (me) in.

GFS looks better Friday for our northern and western folks.

You still like something around the 20th or are we done here until our mid-April headfake?

Trust me, I agree with the broad point. It is horrible that we need a perfect track, QPF bomb to get there. I'm just saying that this one isn't even close to a notable rainstorm IMO. Yes the storm can't be represented in a single panel (or even a 24hr panel) but this is the wettest 50th percentile panel I can get for the window for most of us. Typing this out I guess I'm just replying to be argumentative since this winter has finally tilted me but the average member isn't close to a memorable miss. Just another drizzly March day.

This post finally radicalized me. Canceled my WxBell subscription and am becoming a severe weenie.

tbf - part of the problem is that this coastal is simply nothing impressive. 850s are fine but surface temps aren't great - would certaintly be helpful if precip was actually heavy. Should it be snow with any real cold? Probably. But not like we're getting soaked by a majority of members. Just trust me that the other half look like this too.

I guess it doesn't include *all* of Wave 2, but that's most of it. Snow mean might tick up a tenth or two in our far N/NW spots, but that's the coastal.

Unfortunately it doesn't work, see psu post above. Just not cold enough. Not an impressive mean

Unfortunately more models look like the GFS than the EURO. I’m definitely not counting on storm #1
