Scarlet Pimpernel

Damn, I remember back in the day when Florida would measure "snow" in grams, not inches!!!

Kyrie Irving called, he would like a word!

Trust me, @Ji would find a way to complain it's not enough! (Just joking, all in fun!)

Thank you for this, and for stating it diplomatically. I had some thoughts as well but refrained because I'd probably get too far into the "politics" of all that. But on a scientific note, which is totally legitimate, my understanding of climate change/global warming (whatever one decides to call it...same thing!) is that one consequence involves more EXTREMES. It doesn't mean cold disappears or that you won't get snow in the deep south, etc. Those extremes can involve abnormal cold (and snow) in places that don't normally experience it. I'm sure it's been this cold in the deep south and Gulf areas before...the difference in this case is there also happens to be a significant system moving through while that cold is in place. So they're getting dumped on rather than getting effectively a "blue norther" of cold and dry. If it was just anomalous cold, you wouldn't hear quite as much about what's happening there.

CHEMTRAILS!!!

Nahhh, don't want that really. I mean, the pattern will almost surely relax and change at some point, and I fully expect some part of February to be warmer/unfavorable (hopefully not a torch though, at least). But I hope for some kind of last blast of winter toward the 2nd part of February and early March, that would be nice!

I admit I'm getting a bit tired of the hourly HRRR model postings and wringing hands at every single little change.

Not that there's a real "choice" per se, but whom would you rather they face in the NFC championship? I would think they would be better matched with the Rams, with the Eagles being tougher. But then again, they dropped 45 on the (admittedly somewhat defenseless) Lions so you never know in a playoff game!

My older brother is a big Rams fan (has been his whole life, for some reason!)...years ago when they were particularly awful, he used to joke about calling them the Lambs, and saying "Silence of the Lambs" every time they lost!

Congrats Commanders/WTFs, from a lowly (very lowly!) Cleveland fan! Browns sucked this year so I haven't paid much attention, but I'm glad the playoffs have shaken things up a bit. Now, can we please knock KC out of it? I really don't care to have them in another SB!

Yeah I was just flipping through the 00Z and 06Z GFS quickly and there are definitely some potential events in there! And it appears plenty enough cold air hanging around through the period.

I know, right?! I come in here this morning and it's all doom and gloom, yet I don't see all that much different from several hours ago late last night. Geez, can we just let this happen how it will and try to have fun with whatever we end up with? I've always thought this would be a general 2-4" event, maybe 5-6" in some spots, but too many seem to think everyone is getting warning-level snows.

Wow! Whoever the Commanders play next week is going to be in for a serious game (not jinxing it by saying that before the game is actually over!). Of course, Rams or Eagles will have a much better defense than the Lions but still.

Unreal first half for the WTFs!! Just the 2nd quarter alone even.
