I will agree with this. I did a tornado re-analysis GIS project for my employer over the summer and that involved looking at a lot of damage pictures. This tornado had the intensity similar to Smithville (MS) and the lengthily swath of violent damage (EF4+) similar to Hackleburg (AL). Some of scenes also reminded me of Joplin, too. I don't think we should be sugarcoating how bad and extreme this tornado was regardless of the time of month. This was simply a top-tier tornado and I strongly believe we'll get epic survey results once we get everything put together.

That's what I thought too. Probably too warm right on the coastline, but we'll see...

Ahh yes... found myself looking at wintry weather of the Northeast again. I'm supposed to have a layover at Logan Airport in Boston this Sunday (from Las Vegas) so I'm definitely nervous about the icy weather.

Our best snow chances tend to happen with deep cold air mass ahead of it. I don't like the cold-chasing moisture events like models are hinting... they don't pan out often.

Seems like a good high-elevation snow producer on models so far... we'll see.

I'm not buying frozen precip threat until we get some more credibility from ensembles. It'd be a major climatology-buster outside mountains, otherwise...

Living close to family and friends again will always be worth it over weather seasons. Can't take away incredible memories of last two winters, though

After witnessing over 160 inches of snow last two winters, adjusting back to North Carolina winters will be very difficult. Not thrilled about living in area with 6"/year snowfall average rather than 60"/year. I'll miss having snow depth of over 6" for three months straight.

Yep, NAM captured my attention earlier this evening. Will be a rough couple days across Dixie Alley.

7.5" on the snowboard here. Solid event.

Just broke through 2" mark.

Great source for upper level divergence to assist with the lifting. Another good source is the left exit region of jet streak, but that's not relevant to this event.

I'll be back for it this year.

I have Advanced Skywarn training from NWG GSP office, but that was a warm-season training. Definitely need to do cold-season training to get my spotter ID.

I called it too early. We had about 1.6" new snow on my car when I woke up so I'm calling it at 24", setting a new PR for single-storm snowfall. What a monster storm.
