As someone who is relocating to that area (ish) this year... this is actually extremely funny to me. STL considered its own thing when no other city gets that treatment. Great stuff.
One thing I'll never take for granted is what snow looks like in this town. Especially when you drive out onto Pantops or up 5th Street/Cherry intersection and glance at the surrounding hills/mountains.
Gosh it is pretty.
Missouri. Will be time for a new subforum next winter.
Maybe I'll even do some severe obs given the propensity for spectacular thunderstorms there.
Last summer on a visit we had one storm with strikes every second for what felt like two hours.
No way in hell I'm gonna try to chase tornadoes though.
Rain did significant damage to the glacier. I doubt this snow TV will help.
But anything frozen coming from the sky makes me smile. Gotta enjoy my last winter in Virginia!
The long-range HRRR was better than a lot of models for MBY 36 hours before the last event. Splashes most of the sub with 2-4" A couple nice lollipops in there too.
I mean for wishcasting, not for anything reasonable.
24 hours before the last storm the NAM said I was gonna strike out on snow and have 0.75" of ice.
Suffice to say that did not happen.
Waves just screaming through over the weekend. This one tries to get up the coast but like the other system right before it, gets kicked OTS.
Wild to watch storms try to get it together and run up but get shoved away.
