Thanks man. I'm glad someone appreciates my input. I peeked mid week, and put a snippet out about concerns that we are looking at a window of opp and maybe not a prolonged period of favorable, but one thing w/ the tellies is that they too change weekly, and while this weeks concern for a closing window as we turn the calendar may look a bit better/worse next week. Hoping that as the window opens and cold gets a bit better established, that we can hold it here in the east for a spell. For now, i'm going to enjoy what is coming for the next week and hope that you/others get some love from above while things look more favorable for our region. Like I also stated earlier...even if we still lose, we'll be doing it a little different way (Pac reshuffle to more pronounce ridging).

and my distaste for the weekend is still LSV centric....not for the true central/northers. I really came into this weekend deal a bit skeptical and thinking its a bit early for us down here. Looks like that concern may verify. Yall enjoy every friggin flake. With some luck you get snow on snow in the next couple weeks.

yeah....I smell rats.....lots and lots of rats. Still time for a second half comeback, but man Mo nature needs on hell uv a pep talk.

thanks for confirming..... we were wondering where you stood

someone get me a fork for this weekend though....

losing 850's for SE 1/3 of Pa, yet all snow....whats not to believe?

I'd like Gervais to do the 0z analysis. oh wait....thats Golden Globes....the other one that i also dont watch

0z NAM going for peoples choice award. Keeps LSV all snow and hope alive for another 6 hrs....or till the ICON crushes hopes and dreams of naked snow angels in the streets

Great call.......

your snow dome has been replaced with a magnet

affecting us..... dude.....you flat out stole it from us.

Despite the good looks of late regarding Sunday, this weekend really is the first event that is happening during the new regime change that is only getting underway. A lag time till things get better aligned in the east should be expected. I suggested that several days ago, and truth told, the good looks for this weekend sorta took me by surprise as in my mind they were a bit premature (based on what we've been dealing w/ regarding the constant cutter look being flushed out so quickly, but hey we'll take em....if they happen.

have faith my friend. The change you request is ongoing out west. Like I've been saying, its not a light switch and once the ridging gets established, it'll force trough into central/eastern US and SHOULD start showing better looks once this gets established. How long it sticks around is the bigger concern from what I'm seeing. May be short lived window, but thats way too far out for most of us weenies to fret about....yet.

GFS keeps hope alive for many as it continues its souther adjustments thermally as well as wrt SLP

I get ya. I saw that, and hence my comment upon seeing the ICON shart the perverbial bed......

is this a good time for.... its only the ICON..... or pick one....

your pessimistic stance shouldnt be shelved yet. oy vey..

NAM came out swinging. ICON coming in hot....like thermally hot. notable changes at 78 Where did I put that ledge......

Hey....we(well you anyway) may finally need to make a beer run

I'd bet tomorrow earliest...assuming things hold together today. Even though the track is looking favorable, the temps are a concern for us LSV'rs and for next week....thats WAY to far out with lots of time to see where things go after the Churchgoersuntie event IMO

its just funny how some make calls and get ignored, but when others "make the call" the likes are almost instantaneous "likes". I dont post for likes, but its merely an observation that makes me (and I'm sure others) chuckle.

and if one were to further extrapolate.... 700's look fine 850's look fine (but would be getting close down here if we had 2 more panels to view) 2m temps decent and would likely lead to snowglobe stickage to everything kinda snow.

I'll "nice call" myself.....

It looms close on LR guidance. Gotta hope the NAO holds tight but tellies dont look so hot (or do they) once we turn the calendar. Time for that to change, but this looks like a window of opp that we need to cash one or 2 in on. Sorry for you guys down south of the M/D line.

Sure has been rough sledding. You've had a couple bouts w/ winter up/over that way though. I know compared to normal the suckfactor is high though. My family has yet to see a flake this year..... well, there's one that lives w/ them, but that doesnt really count.
