Pretty good returns on radar over Lanco right now but nothing falling from the sky here other than bird droppings.

I agree completely - I'm not knocking or begrudging anyone from moving around. I hope it didn't come across that I was. I will tell you that our workforce of 950 employees is made up of 43 that left and came back. That's almost 5% of our workforce. I find that interesting.

That's awesome, good for you! I've been with my company for 25 years and working in HR, not a lot of long-term commitment today from people that there was years ago. Nothing wrong with that, it's just a different mindset.

...and just like that, CTP has added a snow/sleet mix for my zone tonight. (30%)

Pretty big front coming this weekend - looks like 50s around here on Saturday and not getting out of the 20s on Sunday. Also - it's gotten pretty solidly overcast down here over the past couple of hours. Going to be a very close miss with coastal precip this evening.

So many people go there for dinner - personally, breakfast is a somewhat hidden gem. Love to take clients there early in the morning. Best breakfast deal around and it's not close. You do the most important meal of the day exceptionally well.

Saw a few flurries earlier this morning at the office. We're running neck and neck with Greenville SC for most snow this winter.

Word for word, I'm completely with you. Perfectly said.

That was the biggest blow to me by far.

Both of those things illustrate perfectly what I was talking about. It has to be very hard (if even possible) for those who are in their 20s and even 30s to understand how big baseball was when I was young. NFL was a far distant second to baseball in popularity...shoot, the first few Super Bowls were played before thousands of empty seats. Imagine that.

Baseball saddens me. First game I attended was in 1971 at brand new Veterans Stadium. I was 6 at the time and was immediately hooked. (though NOT on the Phillies...but baseball in general) By the mid 1970s I knew every player on every team. I lived and slept baseball. No cable back then but I'd watch every O's or Phillies game that was televised locally. 1981 I got my license and 2 years later I was an 18 year old who owned his first season ticket plan with the Orioles. At this time I was going to 40-50 games a season in Baltimore, Philly, NY, Cleveland, Pittsburgh...wherever I could reasonably drive to, I'd be there. By the late 1980s I started booking flights to LA, San Diego, Chicago, Atlanta...I was consumed with baseball. I held my season ticket plan in Baltimore until the late 1990s. By this point, marriage, family, job demands, and an increasing frustration with strikes and lockouts had me starting to pull back. I replaced Orioles tickets with Senators tickets. I had those until several years ago. These days, I might see 1 or 2 games a season. Mostly for fun, the passion I had for baseball has long since waned. It is what it is - there's so much about the game and the way it's operated that I can't stand. Final straw was the hideous extra inning rule and the 7 inning doubleheaders. As a baseball purist who developed his love for the game 50 years ago - seeing what's transpired over the years makes me sick.

I never said that. My preferred time to snow is December and January. I've said this repeatedly for years. Doesn't mean I don't enjoy February snow. Not sure why the "lol" was needed.

I sure hope so - last year was a shutout in March, which is fine with me. We're already past the time when I most like snow, so if we're going to get anything of significance I really hope it's soon.

EPS wants nothing to do with what the Euro OP was showing. (Doesn't mean either is correct, just stating information)

The Euro has a lot of "making up" to do to pull me back in again. I've missed out on about 325" of snow that the Euro showed me that I never got over the past few years.

Reality of what just happened.

No, but I have some really heavy sleet right now. Actually sounds like hail. Temp down to 29.8.

HRRR did very well. As did a lot of mets who only use models as a tool and not verbatim.

So did Donegal. Wind has increased here in the past 15-20 minutes. Hopefully this precipitates at least some drying before too much freezes at sundown.

Sure was - and for at least a couple of days leading up to the event.

Down to 30.4 here - was just out and any surface that was wet is now...still wet. Great call by Kyle at MU. CTP never needed the advisory for our area. (it appears)

1.55" of rain here, temp is down to 31.3. Hasn't rained for close to an hour and my sidewalk is already mostly dry

Temp has nudged below freezing now, down to 31.8

Just reached 1.5" of rain for the event. Temp is currently sitting at 32.7.

This ain't Cheers my friend. LOL
