I just read this.
And yes i can confirm NWS Zones had 18-24 the night before...lots a huge amounts from local stations, i went pretty conservative and still busted high. We changed over to heavy sleet and snow, some of the heaviest ive seen by 10am and it was supposed to snow all day. I was definitely dissapointed with 9.9 on a 12-20 forecast from myself and NWS 18-24. Could have been worse though, you could have been expected warning amounts and ended up with 2" in KGON. Last minute bumps NW FTL.
It was still a great season though and we did have a big boy 10-18 statewide the month before with lots of TSSN. Jan had a nice daytime blizzard as well.
Fyi..
give us break, will ya?
we havent had a warning level event since Mar 2019. Almost 2 years.
And a warning level event in met winter since Jan 2018, Almost 3 years.
I got 10 freaking inches last winter for christs sakes
im ready to
From my experience the pivotal weather snow maps are not much different than wxbell. Yes wxbell is a bit more extreme but not by much. Pivotal still showing 2'+ on theirs.
I do really like the Storm Vistas and EuroWXs the best though.
Either way, i think pretty much everyone here knows to take them with a grain of salt, maybe not all pros but at least everyone is well seasoned. Unlike twitter and facebook. people take it literally.
i agree overall, though its better for me than you, id rather deal with the snow/no snow line and a scraper than the R/S line and getting 0 or 12 just to my north. im sick of those, but thats just me. I like to be on the northern edge, at least i know its cold
Kinda expected that, this lead time and with the GFS being the furthest west and shifting quite a bit SE to benchmark status. CMC followed.
CMC is now the 5 gallon bucket of ice water thrown on you when you're deep in a knocked out opiate trance and wake up in the psych ward.
Good look obviously its the op run 6 days out. we watch the ensembles for now. we track. something to watch at least.
I can't remember a december look this good in the past 6 years ive been active on the boards.
14 and 15 were pure dog shit. 16 was meh, ok. 17 was probably the best. 18 shit. 19 good in the very beginning then shit.
It's perfect. Then the narcan shot hits you and you realize theres like 100 more runs to go and its still 150hrs out.
What a great look though, at H5 and surface great high placement, classic setup.
Yeah gfs, euro, icon, cmc, ensembles, its like a big hot dog party. But seriously things couldn't look much better than this in the mid to long term. Great look. Welcome.
Then when all else fails and there's no snow maps to get the shakes to stop you pull out the GEFS and Euro Weekly 35 and 46 day snow maps. Mainline that shit and all is better for a few hours.
