Scarlet Pimpernel

That's a DAFUQ we really want to have!

Nope. I only have plans to be out with my camera and yardstick taking many photos of us rippin' fatties while I measure several inches or more of snow! I'm hoping for 3" per hour, shut the freakin' city down type of snow, with perhaps a period of ice in there to add a layer of glaze. You know, where it's possible to walk down the middle of Connecticut or Wisconsin avenue in the middle of the day with boot-high snow, because there is absolutely NO traffic!! In other words, it would be nice to have it look like this (from Feb. 10, 2010):

Thanks to you both. Yeah, it's waaaay out there of course. But the key takeaway for me is that we have several waves coming at us within that one week or so period, and there are several indications that we could score a good bit of snow even if one of them is too warm with mainly rain. And from what I saw, the temps don't exactly torch completely and subsequently cool off again.

Do tell...don't tease!! LOL! Is this something after the rainer event on the 14th (which is just after the snow we get on the 12th)? Sorry...running a bit slow and haven't seen past the 13-14th yet.

GFS says we have football next Sunday. It's been rock-solid on that one. But the Euro doesn't care, they do soccer (and the Canucks do shuffleboard!)!!!

"This town needs an enema!"

Key take-away, at least for me, is that there will be several waves running along that boundary leading into the "good" mid-February into mid-March period that @psuhoffman and others alluded to. Hopefully we can score on one or so of those, but it likely won't be really resolved way in advance.

Oh my, you just @ravensrule's yourself right there! Sent up your own bat signal!!

Is this a different wave that now is just showing up? There seem to be quite a few riding that boundary in the next couple of weeks.

We need the @Bob Chill shock-face, looking at some of these plots!

An east-west oriented avocado! Very...Squishable!

"Save your Confederate shovels, for the South will snow again?" But seriously and more on topic: I really don't think we'll end up having to worry about being blasted with cold and dry so much (or at least hope not!). That doesn't normally seem to be a thing in February and early March around here.

Actually it does. We just happen to call them March 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.

Good call, ya little rat! Keep the winter weather weenies happy! Watch out there, sending up another @ravensrule signal!

Exactly. We haven't seen that level of cold since (I think) February 2015. And in my yard, we had snow cover for 3 weeks after that Jan. 6 event, before it finally totally got washed out this week (outside some huge piles still in parking lots).

One could almost say it's like Altoids...curiously strong MINT!

You're slacking there! Might need a blue pill so you're up and ready for the next bat signal that calls!!

OK thanks...I see a bit more what you're saying. So while the "Feb. 20 and beyond period" might be the true flip to predominantly colder (and hopefully snowier!), those weeklies appear "less cold" only because the prior period is not as cold right before that (hence, "rushing" the change). Hope I worded that correctly.

You win the interwebs today, sir!! LOL!!! And that plot...just seems like a @ravensrule bat signal right there!

Not sure if I totally understand what you're saying. Both of those plots show the period after the Feb. 20 date you mention (they cover Feb. 22-Mar. 1). I don't see what you mean by it's still "rushing" based on that. Regardless, not going to fret over subtle changes in weeklies a month from now just yet.

@psuhoffman is fringed ...only in the mid 60s where higher amounts are to his south! But we have some room for the inevitable northward shift of higher values!

Get off my lawn, you damned trick-or-treaters!!!
