These maps literally look like layers of consciousness...and something out of Dr. Seuss, lol

Now does that have to do with their geography (or perhaps the proper term is topography?) Is their elevation such that it's still cold enough for frozen previl, yet not cold enough for all the layers to be cold?

I've always wondered why that is

The lesson: Be careful about gushing about snow to people withim shoveling distance...lest they use your snow loving against you...with back-breaking results, lol

I didn't even know it HAD a short range, lol 5 star post, haha

Lol Well thankfully I don't drink (aside from small amounts of Christmas eggnog, lol)

Actually it depends...Outwardly, I can be glass half full, but inwardly...let's just say I tend to focus on the "what might go wrong" scenarios more than I should. So not so much glass half empty but more like...the glass I'm drinking is half full, but what to do if the next glass is empty? Or breaks?....lol

Well, that would fit the nina tendency...welp, IF this weekend's thump and a quick hitter next week were to be it (assuming it doesn't turn into something bigger)...still not a terrible nina winter so far. I mean yeah I got sucked into thinking we'd get more this month because the STJ was more active, but hey...at least we are having a legit winter!

I'd be okay with that if we could also have February as a window...but things might relax then if it reverts back to a more nina-like tendency. If cold and dry eats up the second part of January, this weekend and maybe a couple inches with whatever is next week may be it for snow for a little bit. And man I don't wanna think about that bomb cyclone, lol Again, if we can still have a shot beyond the next two weeks? Great! (Anybody got thoughts on early February?) I know the DC/southern half of the forum is in a really good spot for climo...but my half not so much (because of that painful fringe). Would really like to get something bigger. I mean I'd take more of last Thursday night too, though if I can't get the other!

So I'm wondering if it's gonna be too much of a good thing...and perhaps after the little wave we shouldn't look for much snow-wise for the week after...(can't imagine moisture with that press of cold) I love deep cold but...I'm wondering if we kinda lose the snow chance for a bit.

Now see... Well...here we are, lol Of course I could've just as easily been wrong...but given the mess and not too much getting "crushed" (at least not my neck of the city), and that weird setup with that ocean low, and something where we needed it to back off but not to quick...blech. Never felt good about it! Thus me looking LR after this, lol

My goodness I fall asleep for ah hour and a half (while dreaming that@stormtracker made a serious post where he was fed up with our shenanigans he was gonna start layin' the mod hammer and kickin' people out)...and this is what I wake up to? Lolol

I think I've missed something here..."RR"?

Never did feel great about this one...I knew this one was gonna be messy...had that feeling from Monday. That's why I've been more focused to see what else pops up on the LR after this, lol That being said...as others have echoed, thump to dry slot ain't a bad consolation prize...Hope we can spin the wheel again soon!

Not to mention how much more difficult it makes shoveling...It's like shoveling purr cement and ya never get all of it, lol

ICON with the front-end thump-a-dump!

At least on the precip panels, yes. So ya won't see any pink/purple

Yeah I don't get why folks don't remember that one...I certainly do!! I remember driving home after a college class got let out early because of it, and being stoked! Now maybe folks don't remember it because the bulk fell at night? Lol

Yeah seriously...like any other time you see that on a model run it's a definitive "INCOMING!" But instead we've been seeing the model pull the low up like a yo-yo...lol

You're probably more blessed that you don't know...trust me, lol

Somehow we're on the same wavelength about this, lol (except I think if it happens it'll be a couple days earlier on the weekend!)

Hahaha Just why? (Literally made a whole sign for this, lol)

The what now? Lol

Ain't freakin' out over this... 1) Was never invested because I knew whatever the ocean storm was gonna give all kind of wild swings, and the fact that we needed it to not be too strong or two weak...eh, too complicated. 2) I like next week/weekend time period better. But this is only Tuesday...so this could come back. If not...my earlier post that was looked down upon a bit will end up being right, lol

That's what I'm more focused on...hopefully if this doesn't work out we can get another spin next week! STJ certainly looks more active to my untrained eye
