Scarlet Pimpernel

Nice change to your avatar there! Buying yourself some nice Cubans with all the cash you've made on the new Panic Room suites, ballroom, casino, and bar, I see??

Yup, sarcasm and snark fully intended on my post up there! Thanks for appreciating it! But yeah, it is annoying to see a bunch of new posts in the model/long range thread only to realize 99% of them are banter-like complaining. There definitely is no putting lipstick on the pig that is our current winter situation! Can we at least make bacon from that pig (mmmm, baaaacon!)??

Happy February to all!! Let's keep this thread clean and on topic, sticking only to model discussions and anything relevant to that or to climatology. Mods, please move any banter over to the main medium range thread where it belongs...thanks!!

This is for overflow banter...or maybe that's what the actual Banter thread is for and this is the "real" one? I've lost track at this point!! Anyhow...yeah, GEFS isn't the greatest. But overall, whatever the indications are worth, I think there are signs for things to potentially be somewhat better toward the middle of the month. I don't think we exit the month of February with a zero in the snow department (not saying how much above zero it will be, mind you!). But that could be sheer optimism on my part.

Dr. Evil No throws us a fricking bone???

So...is this where one goes to prepare before entering the Panic Room? Or is it now direct competition?

Well, you see, the irony is that you would be correct by saying that!!

Something you season a nice steak with before putting it on the grill?

...and therein lies the problem!

Not a task I'd envy doing. Like cleaning the Augean Stables.

Nah. Just that the Banter thread has now become nothing but overflow for the tearing of hair and gnashing of teeth and petty arguing from the regular model/discussion thread! I'm worried @WxWatcher007 might require mods in the Panic Room, at this rate!!

I do believe several of the original Weenie Commandments may have been lost accidentally by Ji sometime in history...

I don't know...I thought his drinking Schlitz and PBR was worse!!

The Browns could win the Super Bowl next year, too. That's still a mathematical possibility...at this point, anyhow!

You don't want to know...

Haha, yeah, maybe. But sometimes the humor here lacks depth as well! Sorry folks, but I think @ravensrule spammed my account for a moment there with that previous comment. But even he might blush at that (nahhhh, not really!)!! Won't touch that with a 10 meter cattle prod!! (Wait...the reaper, speechless???) https://yarn.co/yarn-clip/2c8e1816-27a7-4802-ba80-4c8df5028d3f

C'mon man, show some dignity! This place is rated PG-13 at the worst! (Oh, and love it when you talk so dirty about the models like that! You can grab 'em by the vorticity, and they let you do it, because you're a snow weenie!)

I sure have heard it, several times...and have seen it performed live a time or two. You're absolutely right, the same motif shows up throughout. It also has one of the more unusual transitions from the 3rd to 4th movement (no pause, really, it just goes right into the 4th).

Wow! I'm thinking we might be better off going back to the quasi-political discussion from earlier!! Or not...this might be more fun!!

Along with some fava beans??

OK, while I definitely appreciate music, I cannot read it all that much. What piece is that from?? (ETA: Of course!! From the 1st movement of Beethoven's 5th Symphony? Considering @stormtracker issued the "warning" comment, and looking at the musical notes now in my mind.)

I know, I know...shouldn't have made that (not too) subtle comment, but couldn't resist I suppose! Hey...my bad @stormtracker...and my apologies. I probably should not have replied a page or so back with my "FOX" comment, but I thought it would be lightly humorous enough without being *too* political (and it was in response to someone humorously saying "fake nuze", so the follow-up seemed like an appropriate "touche!" at the time!). Didn't expect a bunch of related commentary to ensue...oh well. And this is a fantastic winter! Record breaking...errr, wait a minute, I'm thinking of 10 years ago!!

I think you misspelled "FOX" there...(ducking for cover).

Well, if you're looking at the *total* QPF through that time (I'm looking at TT site), then yeah, it would appear like huge swaths of moisture because it's a total amount over all those hours. Sort of like a Jackson Pollock painting (I use the term "painting" very loosely, hahaha!). Much larger area then, of course, would be covered by something, especially when you get out in time. But if you're looking at the 24-h amounts, you should see more "motion" (for lack of a better word) as a system moves through...it will increase, then decrease, over an area for various 24-h increments.

Yeah, that sure is a nice look. Cold, Arctic high pushing east with a wave underneath that is dumping moisture into the cold air. Not a HECS, but a nice overrunning event as shown. Same general time frame that some form of this has been showing up. And that's some cold air over this area, too, while the precip is ongoing.
