Thoughts and prayers.

Let’s not get that here since that means congrats RDU for snow 

We can’t snow when we have pristine and moderate cold we might as well go for all time records.

Probably more like congrats Jacksonville and Orlando

day 9/10 ...which one is that, off of which run cycle...

this stuff is all f'n buckshot right now

Yea buckshot. Exactly.
 

I’m painting with CPC brush here…

 

Which one? — it’s this one…

 

I ain’t picking and choosing runs here either. Pretty much all major guidance has had some variation of this over the last day or two and you can see the signal faintly on the ensembles…

Let’s beat the 1996 record. 
 

I remember following that entire cold outbreak on TWC back then.  It was Embarrass, MN that hit -64. The NWS didn’t recognize that officially though. Tower hit -60 for the official record. 

It was either Mike Bono or Dave Schwartz that was on air that morning and made a comment like “that’s nothing to be embarrassed about”

[dendrite]

Heh…I remember seeing this story before

Well at least we get mood flakes for watching football tomorrow.  I would like a few inches to cover the mess that has been left behind that last week (stupid oak leaves that have no idea to fall two months ago, neighbors dog crap, that smooth ice patch on a partially cleared path that will help an orthro surgeon retire)but it looks like I might be asking for too much.

Man never seen it like this in here, and rightfully so. I’m watching stranger things finally and this week of weather watching reminds me of season 4 with Hop in Russia. Just keep on getting tortured and beaten by Mother Nature, then we get some hope, then it’s stripped from us and we get beat up even more.  When will it end?

I thought it looked good going forward?

Sounds like something Schwartz would say...he was eccentric.

I'm going to start slowly backing away from this season if latter January ends up cold and dry.....gonna lose me really quickly as I begin to shift to fantasy baseball.

Another thing a failed back half of January will do is make futility a very realistic possibility for me....if that Feb SSW doesn't materialize, then I think we'll get a good shot. The SSW is the last line of defense in the red zone from futility running it in.

GFS superstorm Miller A brewing in the gulf hr. 294.  Lock that since we lost the 306 hr blizzicane.

It does , people just want results not great looking patterns. Hideously our luck turns tomorrow an we start cashing in on the digital snow.
