Scarlet Pimpernel

Kuchera vs. 10:1 ratio, perhaps?

So it would seem the 2nd wave is looking like the more significant one, or that seems to have been the trend.

I know! One should never, ever try to out-RavensRule you when it comes to risque humor and double entendres!!

In a weird way, it seems reminiscent of the Feb. 2007 storm (Valentine's Day), though I am pretty sure the evolution wasn't quite the same. I can't remember offhand how the 2007 event looked in its development. But what is kind of similar is the entrenched cold air despite a more northwest track like shown.

Dammit, Bob! It's like you're falling off the wagon here, giving in to those old addictions! Thank goodness!!!

Uhhhh, not sure anyone would necessarily want to do what @ravensrule would do!! LOL!!! But more seriously and weather-related...gotta love that essentially every model is now looking pretty good for Wed night-Thurs and Thurs night-Fri. Not too bad a place to be situated at this point.

Can you just wire the money via Western Union??

We never get fair warning. Hell, we barely get told to watch out before you're issued an advisory that you might be banned! Oh, and @H2O, Rolex watches are pretty good! Not that I own one. If I did, the cost would result in an over-draft warning from my bank!

Yeah, looks like a definite improvement over its past couple or so runs for the weekend. Not at the level of the weenie run from 12Z yesterday, but beats the rain storm it did have before.

Yeah, pretty much agree...though obviously not good to see it jump on being farther north now. Wasn't it a lot better just 12 hours ago with its 00Z run? Tells us how tricky this setup can be, I guess.

Mmmmm. Too impulsive you were! Clouded your mind was!

The whiplash and cognitive dissonance is almost amusing. "NO, don't start a thread, it will jinx it!!!"..."When the hell are they going to issue a watch?!"

We're one tick from being in the gray Wish some people were one tick from being five-posted!

You can go all-out Panic Room meltdown, it might even scare the Reaper if that's possible!!

I seem to recall hearing that for whatever reason, the ICON only shows rain/snow for precip type and doesn't depict freezing or sleet. Maybe that's what's happening here, where some of that "rain" is actually ice.

Yes, agree. I haven't been too "big" on any real snow for Thu-Fri, really, though of course it would be nice if we can be on that side of the boundary. However, models have been honking what could be a prolific ice event around here during that time for a little while. Not something you normally see so consistently like this. As for snow, seems our better chances for that would be after Thu-Fri, when there are some indications the Arctic air will be pressing more and we'll perhaps be into deeper cold. Though that's gone back and forth out at this range of course. GFS for next weekend would be the weeniest chance of all, LOL!

This would be a nice follow-up after some ice Thu-Fri (quite cold, too)...

Hey Bob...is this sort of what you were looking for, at 850mb? This is one image at 12Z Thursday after we lose the 850s...winds were out of the southwest through that time. The 10 meter streamlines @Weather Will put up definitely show the CAD near the surface below this, and 2-m temperatures reflect that as well.

From a little earlier this morning. Simplicity of black and white works so well with snow!

Moderate snow, very large flakes right now. About 0.5", and some roads/paved areas are coated. Very pretty out the way the snow lines all the trees!

You'll personally bring them down??

It's all about the baro...the baro...the baro!

Yup, I hear ya! I used to be able to do those double-loops, corkscrews, etc. and loved it. Not anymore!! And the crazy coasters now are even more dramatic. All I can say is to those who can do that, more power to ya! But I'll just sit and watch and admire, thank you! Now, I will say, I do still like and can do the occasional "regular" or "traditional" coaster. I did a couple at Disney World a couple of years ago (Expedition Everest and Space Mountain, but just couldn't bring myself to do the Aerosmith Rock-and-Roller!)...but sudden drops of 1000 feet or upside down? Nahhhh, I'll pass now!

Stampede!!!
