Not only did gfs shift, it expanded its precip extent north. Lets keep this trend going.

I remember I did something like that on one of my first posts and I was severely admonished.  

I wish some people would post less. And by less I mean never. Yes, I fully realize some would want me to be a part of that. 
 

37.9/27.3 and waiting 

 

Maybe the models can figure out the confluence and vort by tomorrow so the brine trucks can get ready

posting the wrong snow map is probably the most heinous crime one can do in this forum 48 hours before an event lol. sorry. 18z GFS down below

Lol. Usually keep a grapple on the front of my tractor but I switched it to the bucket today... to move gravel...but you never know lol. Could bomb off the coast and drop a foot. 

I'm sticking to gut call of 1-2" but would gladly accept the 18z gfs or 12z low res nam haha

Is it possible you moved into a better snow climo by going south? Lol

1-2” would be nice. The cold temps might be a bonus simply cause that can help ratios. More from less. 
 

Instead of my usual -8:1 snow ratio I can get a solid 6.7:1 if temps are what the models show

 

yes im now bringing out ratios to assuage not being in the jack

It's an internet forum after all, very few of these survive anymore so we should be happy for any traffic at this point.  Gotta put up with the occasional dumbass poster like myself to get the good stuff.

This place is infinitely better than any form of social media. I hope it never dies.

Richmond met is breaking my heart here in Spotsylvania. 

If the F.H. Furr CEO was a true weenie he'd revoke their sponsorship over that map.

You’re doing good, keep it up

I would encourage everyone to get into this side of reading storms as its way less frustrating than just tracking seemingly random movements on the surface as you can tell what a setups potential is more concretely.

Hey we all make mistakes. Besides, you're a way better poster than I was in my early years of high school (as some on this forum no doubt remember).

No it did not and I appreciated the response 

We did good last year and a lot of it was that we were expressing similar ideas but with different points of referencing. That caused confusion and some bad exchanges but that’s over now I feel

I got 11" last year and it was the best of the 3 since we bought property here. 2 previous were basically shutouts. Sounds awesome right? Lol

[87storms]

We’re in the psychobabbe portion of tracking.

Is it gonna snow or not?

If we’ve got a 30.55 crusher tomorrow night at 8pm then we are in suppression trouble 

Otherwise let’s see how bad ass this cold boy really is
