Those must be some good memories to have of talking to Skilling personally. Sounds like he's a great guy. I feel like I certainly missed out on the heyday of weather fanaticism but at least I'm here now even if things are a lot quieter than they were.
For real. I was playing Storm Chaser on the playground in first grade with my friends... Idk when I started caring about winter weather too but now it's honestly my favorite. Can't really justify chasing quite yet after I got myself hit last year so this is all I've got. It had better fucking snow tomorrow.
Fr I like your call of 8ish but this is so silly again, I was hoping for a slam dunk kind of situation just once. Oh well, unless things go super north and warm after all I think we're in a better spot than the majority of posters here sooo
Feel like this storm might do even more tree damage than normal because of the way residual snow is sticking around. The wet nature of the last snow and melting and freezing over the last two nights has formed these little ice lumps covering everything, frozen on tight.

Wasn't there a big lake effect event a few years back? Remember Alek posting some pretty swag pictures. That was literally only the lakefront though if I remember right. IMBY the last snow worth a damn was in 2021, like 10 inches of concrete.
Sadly, flake size is cheeks again right now despite steady rates for the last two hours. Hopefully I can rack up another hour or two of better rates at some point.
I know it doesn't mean jack diddly but wasn't the current storm also Euro NW and GFS SE by a bit and then the GFS trended into agreement? Or am I IIRCing wrong
