Scarlet Pimpernel

Fifteen (!!!) years ago today, the 2nd big storm within a 5 day period ("The Blizzard")...

Yeah, just caught up looking at all that, saw several new pages and...holy shit!

What the hell just happened???

Looks like a wider expanse of the max amount area compared to the ops?

Don't jinx it! I'm thinking of the old "Shaft" song, the "Shut yo' mouth!" part!! LOL!!!

Are you looking to secede?

Agree. I think what we're seeing this upcoming week is pretty much what you stated well before this. That is, you weren't that big on it, but also said you weren't discounting any snow possibilities which still could happen. We're now looking at an imperfect and "lucky" event for Tuesday-Wednesday, though obviously we're not going to see those outrageous amounts that models were spitting out late last week. Still respectable though! Now right after that, we have to deal with more or less getting washed out, though it shouldn't be a torch per se. As for next weekend into PD, I'm not overly high on anything there myself either, but I'm paying some attention to the trends that we may have some icy mess perhaps as we get into the blocking regime more (or that's what it looks like, at least for some areas). Then of course, there's your favored period beginning around the 20th, and I like how the ensembles have remained pretty rock steady so far on that. It's also good to see a couple of ops runs here and there throw out some nice solutions during that period. That's what we want to see, though the details remain to be ironed out. (ETA: It must help also that we're not coming out of some several week period of Pac puke with absolutely no cold air even in Canada. So not like we should have to take a long time to "restore" the cold air source as we've had happen in the past).

Pretty reasonable for right now. I'm sure that will get refined in the next day or so, and the max areas perhaps become better identified.

We've accumulated good snow during daylight hours in the first part of March upon several occasions in the past several years. And it's not like it was always pounding heavy snow either.

Yeah, hoping to mitigate how much gets washed away later in the week!

I believe you mean the IGGLES!!!

They haven't gotten 6" in Baltimore from the NAM???

I miss the DGEX.

There will be lots of slant-sticking.

Yeah I'm wondering if that later Wednesday and Wednesday night period might turn out more...interesting...in time. The other day it appeared that we'd get a decent thump of snow Tuesday into maybe early Wednesday with the first wave, and then rain after. Now...???

I've been slightly curious about next weekend, the GFS has gone back and forth somewhat between some kind of snow/ice (depending on location) and an all-out rainer everywhere. It looked like the last couple or so cycles have pushed the low a bit farther south lately, but hard to really tell. If we can get enough confluence to stick around, it could become pretty interesting.

Yup...I'm kind of agnostic on the game but at the same time don't really care to see the Chefs win again either! (yes, purposeful misspelling there!)

You really shouldn't let squirrels anywhere near...oh, nevermind!!!

Everyone ready for the Superb Owl game today? By the way, who are the Chefs???

I see that the secret FOLKS is watching this thread!!

Hope you feel better soon and don't have too bad of a case!!

Uhhhh...errrr...leaving that one alone, lest The Raven Who Rules but Shall Not Be Named chimes in! Ooops, I think I just sent up the bat signal! Sorry about that!

"After further review, the Lakes cutter stands as modeled. Repeat 4th down!"

Sign him up for the Browns (Clowns)!!! Fits right in! And I say that as a native Clevelander, I'll freely diss how awful they are. Now the Cavs (and Guardians)...different story!

Wasn't that one always more or less a rainer? But that one next weekend has occasionally indicated some kind of snow/ice type deal around here, it's vacillated between that and rain.
