I mean, you guys are sitting in warm climates from afar, youre not even here. Yeah it sucks that were missing the brunt of a massive storm. But some of the whining about the east coast lol. Theyve literally been in a decade long record snow drought, let em get a climo storm for once. It was bound to happen. 

I don't care about the east coast anymore. They got the ocean to help aid storms. It sucks they out big dog us but I'm so used to it by now it doesn't bother me like it used to. It helps I'm in a warmer climate for sure. That useless cold for the next week is gross.

Today and tomorrow is dangerous stay inside cold. But the rest of the week i will be in my glory. Deep powder and frigid winter air. Will absolutely be bundling up and taking some scenic walks.

Sit inside and watch the shit show unfold. Gonna be pretty frozen there for a few days for people who can NOT handle it.

 

I just take solace knowing that y'all suffer the opposite way when there's an unusual summer heatwave...:kekw:

I guess I cant even fathom a comparison, because I know that under no circumstances would I EVER live in TX...but what a slap in the face how prone to ice they are in deep winter cold shots. Its like, you finally get DEEP winter cold with surface temps that scream powder but you get stuck with freezing rain and sleet.

I was holding out hope that the euro was going to be right, but every run erodes more and more of the northern edge. GFS took it to the woodshed on that aspect. Final call for myby is mood flakes through dim sun. Great start to this winter, but it went kapoot after that. Can’t end soon enough.

Regardless, good luck to those to the east and south. Hope it over performs. :)

I tend to follow certain markers. If it's snowing hard in Evansville it's not snowing much here. If the SLP track is taking the little Egypt route I'm in business. Chicago seems more in play with these southern systems since you'll get this LES signal to show up fluffing up totals. Sometimes comes to fruition; a lot of times doesn't. I always figure qpf is overdone on the margins and will erode away as event nears provided there's no consensual shift of the models NW

In modern times, 1988, 1995, 2011 and the first 2/3rds of 2012 would compare...

It was weird. Last night I was driving home and it was still 70 out. I had the windows down and it felt chilly. Im like wtf is happening. Normally even if its 50 im still warm down here. Im turning into a true Floridian. I think toledo may jackpot with this. They will be near the heavier precip and may max out with the ratios.

I lived in Austin for a year. Its like anywhere else, it can get cold but wait a few days and it's back to normal. I would never live anywhere further north in texas.

Yep. Your body acclimates to the warm climate after so long with your blood thinning.

I'll wear sweatpants even when it's in the 80s now, and will be freezing to death when it's in the 50s.
