Yup. Heavy wet snow, if that verifies.

Exactly.  If the 12z or 18z Euro moves to it, I will fucking drive back to this motherfucker if I need to

My point a click says 39 degrees and rain/snow mix for Sunday. What am I missing?

You are missing they have no idea what is going to happen so they are covering everything.

i'm off to bed.  Yall are in good hands with bnacho. 

Pray the models reach a consensus.  No way I'll be on here in Houston if after I leave the models crush us

You only think about yourself and your boyfriends large umbrella.

Gefs basically a hold at 72, looks good

[HighStakes]

The crazy part of this would be if by some miracle GFS is correct and it’s an area wide 1 to 2 feet that means the first flakes are only 48 hours away. Someone has to make a quick decision on issuing Watches.

[stormtracker]

Anybody got a spare bedroom?  Earlier he told me I'm not missing this trip.  I said if the models come around to the GFS, yes the fuck I am.   I'll take the couch for a week.

My bedroom is your bedroom. My wife will sleep on the couch.

This is IMPORTANT yall.  I'm in a precarious situation.  The Euro will determine if weeks worth of shut out is worth it.  This is a PDS situation.

24” is definitely worth forgoing 12”.

This is going to happen. I finally have a weekend where I'm not on call at work, and my wife just surprised me with the last tickets to the Lord of the Rings: Return of the King in Frederick Sunday evening. I've never seen this in theaters and it's the last showing in the entire state.

UKMET is more GFS like with the NS at 39. We'll see how that translates.

Rain just cleansed the roads too. Could be crazy times if GFS is right

[LP08]

Ukie looks quite a bit different at 33.  More interaction between the NS and ss

If it were up to me, tomorrow midday after 12z runs come in would probably be a good time to issue watches (if they’re still showing what they are now). One thing going for NWS is that this storm doesn’t happen during commute, at least until it’s over New England

[LeesburgWx]

I still have a few isolated sleet blocks in my yard. Snow on snow chances?

[bncho]

GEFS looks like it removed all the eastern outliers

Wow

[jayyy]

Ukie looking a bit better to start?

[baltosquid]

UKMET is gonna come up short - still not constructive with the stream interactions it seems. But a step in the right direction upstairs I think...

Wow
