Actually it looks a lot like @Arnold214 when he's at work. 

I thought this was a good example of you and him on together.

Sometimes that's not that far form the truth. But we rarely work together anymore () now that I'm in the starting rotation.

And now you get to coach the AAA guys.

We do now pass forecasts off to each other though, so better continuity when we're texting each other images of the 00z Euro.

You can’t just offer to let him start and be replaced by a rookie like his boy Eli?

Yeah they want all plotted data to be within 2 hours of 7 AM, but that's not to say they won't take the data. 

I'm not sure if we have any reports currently outside their window.

I see them all the time. Brian they won't say anything and accept what you have for a 24 hr total

Would you walk a mile for a Camel?

At 10:21 pm, my station bottomed out at 31.8 degrees, the wind picked up and 20 minutes later it is 42.7 degrees...pretty impressive

[New England Storm]

Yep, my temp started to rise at 9 pm. Now up to 45, after hitting around 35 earlier in the evening.

I hope TX gets a severe Wx outbreak sometime between 1/6 and 1/15. TX is overdo for a January tornado though...hasn’t had one since 2013.

31F...slowly climbing after a low of 24F. We dam. 

[CoastalWx]

50 tropical degrees after being in the lower 30s last evening. 

[Baroclinic Zone]

yup, had the similar spike last night.  Looks like I dipped down to 28F sometime between 7-8pm then spiked to 43F by 10pm, all of that occurring in the span of 45 min.

I think we should shoot for a Dec 45, its about time 

 

Back when the Grinch came the day after Christmas, not the day before.

[dendrite]

BTW...I find it hard to believe they recorded 33.7" of snow and maintained a 34" pack at the end of the month...especially with that 12/26 torching rainstorm. The old days were magical.

[dryslot]

Just shows that slant sticking was even prevalent then.

I think those events were even bigger hfd/spfd.....I thought I remembered reading peak depth over 30 inches at one point at cef

reminds me of a Blues Brothers song "I don't know":

she said honey, honey, you know I gave up cigarettes for my new years resolution, but I didn't give up smoking.

I said woman, woman, you going to walk a mile for a Camel, or are you going to make like Mr Chesterfield and satisfy?

She said, she said that all depends on what your packing; regular or king size.

Yea that depth is wrong, you want to laugh, look at Now data for the HFD area which shows 45 inches of depth with no loss at the end of the month. Needless to say I would hit that month hard

And didn’t Joe Camel come about 10 years later in print ads?

It's the central Mass. school of measurement.  I think the guy in Lunenburg still uses it.  You sweep and measure so there is no compaction and just add the numbers up for the total.  Why bother actually taking a measurement for a daily amount?
