I CAN’T LEAVE!!  I have the Busiest Week of the Year with the NAMM Convention through to Sunday!  A Private gig associated with the Games Sunday!  Then a gig Monday!  Then a Major Concert Wednesday.  AND my Parents are getting to the age where they can’t Shovel and you Can’t plow that driveway so I’m always the one to go over and help!

 

 THIS IS A DISASTER if it comes!  

Do the right thing——perform and earn enough to hire reliable snow removal for your parents.

[Damage In Tolland]

3-5 days of snows

@TheSnowman just needs to rip out a monster tune for this storm. Just rip it out as loud as you can and you’ll feel better. 

[dryslot]

 Just bang one out rip a series of chords.

You.  Can’t.  Plow.  The Driveway.  And I’m going into 17 Paragraphs as of why.  Focus on the storm.  Or Focus on How Much I’ve been F’d by timing across the past 10 years with storms.

Ya, No one wants the 3X World Champion Accordionist who travels the world performing & is a companion of our beloved 98.5 SportsHub and a Motorsports historian who writes for Car Magazines & who’s one of the only FreeSledders in the world with his own Sledding Minoan which might be the only one in the world and who wrote articles on Weather Statistics at 16 for Accuweather and created the Official 2005 Hurricane Records List & does Guinness World Records with Mario Andretti & who opened the 2024 Election on Worldwide TV with the National Anthem.  

God No, we don’t want Him to be part of our weather world banter because he posts too loudly since he’s Italian and gets screwed on snowstorms all the time.  

How many times have we heard this rant before.  It's like a broken record every damn year/storm. 

" I'm Italian accordion player who likes weather and people don't like me when I post about snows."  Wah. every damn time.  Come on at least be original!

Wahh.

The 12z ggem really keeps the baroclinic zone more west for the more phased dynamics to catch up and act on it rather than escaping east too quickly.

Look at those soundings. Super deep DGZ. Even when the lift lowers to 900-950mb, it’s like -10 to 12C temps….congrats Scooter

[Torch Tiger]

Thread time?  this storm already kinda blows, esp. being like pd2. Would rather discuss the bomb next week

The plow guys also have snow blowers and shovels.  

[HoarfrostHubb]

If. You. Pay. Enough. They. Can. Shovel.

 

My MIL's house has a nasty steep driveway that can't be plowed.  After my FIL couldn't take care of it anymore, either I snowblowed it or she hired someone to do it (she hired them during the summer/fall so she wouldn't be stranded, etc)

[CoastalWx]

Ticks work from here on out.

Watch this become a SWFE lol

No one, ABSOLUTELY No one is touching that yard unless it’s me or my parents.  NO one.

I’m a Nazi with how it gets shoveled, AS is my dad.  And it’s massively broken up old asphalt at this point, snow blowers would shoot rocks through the windows.  They’d rather stay stuck at home vs. that.

That’s basically what it is already on the solutions that don’t really energize the coastal (such as the icon at 12z)….but at least if that happens, this is a fantastic airmass and confluence setup to have a SWFE. Maximize the moisture.

Does he think it’s a flex to ride a 3-day old forecast when model guidance on the upper air evolution is moving against him? I haven’t read much of him, but doing that makes one come across as not being very scientific or evidence-based.

GFS with hellacious monster 2/1.  We really need two threads...If we need to restart the current storm thread that's fine.
