Can someone pretty please explain to me what our expectations should be like regarding wind with this system? My understanding is limited essentially to "bigger pressure gradient = more wind" but I got no idea about the nuances.

We could always just jump for a timeshare up in snow belt

I'm so glad I'm not the only one ❤️

06z did, 12z is a couple steps back again. One can hope tho for sure

So what do you think is going to happen?

If it makes any of us feel better, I think our NE counterparts are going through a pretty similar situation with this storm

Lighting that fire within me™

What zero snow does to mfs

Since 2015, there's been that one huge LE event that I understand was well up into the double digits downtown, but have there been any other events that I forgor about? Ik that's already at least three in the last 15 years but I'm curious if I'm missing any

Yeah, that's definitely a big dependency. My enjoyment of any subsequent clippers and ability to tolerate the cold both hinge significantly on having at least a half decent opener, otherwise it's just more dog shite.

Is it useless cold if there's a solid snowpack laid down before it? Also obviously idk shit about fuck but surely a couple of clippers would pop up here and there to get us through it, right? Looks to me like the models suggest at least one or two small refreshers might drift through at some point after this weekend, even if CAD is definitely the theme

Not to suggest that it matters, but didn't GHDII spend most of the medium range chilling largely south of where it ended up in reality?

Okay guys we've been validated, get your weenie on

Selfishly, I know I'd be sitting here pissing and shitting myself about that miss south stank but true, this storm really will be a huge waste.

I don't know how much snow we'll get but at least the sunny skies out ahead of the first band of snow showers moving through the area with this clipper looks cool

This might be my favorite post in however long I've been here

Oh what I would give to reel in a couple of nickel and dimers and cold to bridge the gap between them just for five days before Christmas. Instant two letter grade boost for the season right there

I feel like this would be the perfect thing to set the mood other than the part where it melts or gets rained on in two days. Beggers can't be choosers tho so please keep trending right babeee

At least it looks like it'll stay active, for better or for worse. Nothing sucks imo like straight up forfeiting 2 weeks because nothing happens at all

Can I zelle you to start dropping an opinion here and there so that I can stop myself before saying something ignorant To clarify though, I was referring strictly to the likelihood of whatever trend we might have here still being there tomorrow at all, not whether it still existing tomorrow would mean anything concrete.

Hopefully in 12 hours we'll know if we're getting shit posted on or if there's actually any chance. Not falling for it that easy. I think the trend is there to some degree on other models too but I'm pretty sure that's happened the last two times as well

Can we, like, all agree to take up knitting or something? I'm getting really tired of being in an emotionally abusive relationship with fucking clouds.

No shit Sherlock but looks like if we do get another chance at a phase, like usual, it'll depend on the system before it over next weekend

I'm right there with you, king. My last decent storm was early February of 2021, but it was really just 10" of concrete that fell fairly unremarkably. It was a good snow for sure, but never supposed to be a big dog type of situation. The last actual dawg was for sure GHDII, but totals aside, that storm wasn't really a nuke either, of course. GHDI is the first and only "real shit" blizzard I've ever experienced (moved here from Germany in 2008), and I'll be biding my time until whenever a storm matches it. It's hard to grasp the rarity of a storm like that when one happens after just a couple years of living somewhere.

"Looking out beyond day 7 into the 2nd week of December, the large scale pattern may become supportive of a larger, moisture laden storm system somewhere in the Midwest. Needless to say, this idea is subject to change, though has some ensemble support and we`ll be keeping an eye on it. Chances for any widespread noteworthy accumulating snow and travel impacts are low until a pattern change can occur. Castro"
