ONE FINAL THING NOT REALLY RELATED TO THE FORECAST FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW... IT'S BEEN A BUSY PERIOD OF WEATHER ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES. INCLUDING TODAY (AS IT WAS SNOWING AT MIDNIGHT), THERE WAS AT LEAST A TRACE OF SNOW ON 5 OF THE PAST 7 DAYS, AND MEASURABLE SNOW ON 4 OF THE PAST 7, IN AT LEAST PART OF OUR FORECAST AREA. THANKFULLY, WE REMAIN IN A "NICKEL-AND-DIME" SNOW REGIME RATHER THAN ONE SUPPORTIVE OF MOISTURE-LADEN WINTER STORMS, BUT WE DID LOG JUST OVER 6 INCHES OF SNOW AT OUR OFFICE OVER THE PAST 7 DAYS. OF COURSE, THIS ISN'T AT ALL UNUSUAL FOR THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY THIS TIME OF YEAR. BUT, MULTIPLE DAYS OF SNOW IN THE SPAN OF 7 DAYS IS SOMEWHAT NOTEWORTHY IN A WINTER THAT HAS THUS FAR NOT BROUGHT A BIG SNOWFALL IN OUR LOCAL AREA. -LOT Morning AFD

decent surprise event solid 2". Looks like January.

Naperville: FRIDAY SNOW, MAINLY IN THE MORNING. TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES. HIGHS AROUND 30. SOUTHWEST WINDS 5 TO 10 MPH IN THE MORNING, BECOMING WEST IN THE AFTERNOON. CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION NEAR 100 PERCENT. Atlanta: Friday Snow, a slight chance of freezing rain and sleet in the morning, then freezing rain, sleet, rain with a slight chance of snow in the afternoon. Snow and sleet accumulation around an inch. Ice accumulation of a tenth to one quarter of an inch. Near steady temperature in the lower 30s. Southeast winds 10 to 15 mph. Chance of precipitation near 100 percent. Maybe, it's you.

hating where i sit. at this point.

fairly solid consensus at this range. But this is much more late in 3rd quarter. Not close to hail mary time.

we're at the sampling stage.

i like where i sit at this point

posting late eve on New Years Day screams it's been way to long.

cruelest post i've ever seen on this forum.

on pins and needles waiting for the 00Z NAM

locked and loaded.

like where i sit at this distance.

save this for the weekend.

It's been so lame for so many years if trends for at minimum a moderate event hold someone better manage who's going to be a thread starter, if the time comes. If memory serves their are some here that are clear jinx's. Not that i'm superstitious. Best to call out who they are now.

I've learned not to get too excited until we get into NAM range.
