Most of the time it’s just hit or miss scattered squalls. It’s just that we tracked 2010 for a few days and it got everyone involved with 1-3” in like 20-30 minutes. I’ve had many WINDEX squalls drop more than what we got that evening. The RSM jokes were from the old RSM SREF members that were insistent on a long lived squall line moving out of the BGM area and ripping through all of New England in the evening while other hires models at the time had the more typical random cell look. During the midday it was obvious that line was forming and that it meant business. But when we used to get sustained arctic airmasses these events (and clippers) were a lot more common.

Yeah that was awesome…1/8/20. I was talking with my wife about it the other day because we went out in the middle of it for groceries. But yeah, that was a streamer that made it through your area and survived my way versus a long N-S oriented squall line that ripped through here right from central NY.

Yeah…dropping a piece of the PV in behind the digging s/w is usually a recipe to go nuclear. It always brings back fond memories for me of March 01.

Kidding aside, a good portion of their covered run is underwater right now simply because of the water table. I’m really hoping for a week long relatively dry stretch. We should freeze up decently this week so I’ll at least be able to throw some of my chopped hay/straw on top to keep their dry. But these cutters are becoming a struggle.

I understand the gist of your point, but disagree in this instance. It’s mid January…not early December. CON snuck an 8° in the other day while I stayed mixed and had a min of 11°, but their latest sub 10° on record is 1/16. DFW has been below 10° once since 1996. BNA has been below 10° once since 2018. We’re not talking Amarillo here.

There’s a chance DFW and BNA pull off a min below 10° before I do.

Lots of 55-60mph gusts up there in downslope land. HIE 58mph and the 2 Jefferson sites 55 and 59.

Yeah nammy went miller B on one run.

While we bathe in the dews, MAV has -6° at game time for the Fins in KC.

A devastating peak gust of 23mph so far here.

A couple more bad losses and we may have to fire Ray.

2010 was a long lived squall line. That was the one the RSM nailed. This may be a little different if we get a mesolow forming.

Let’s get some TSSN too

You still have trees?

Good post. The hires models have been a little extra interesting. 6z 3k had a little mesolow going through SNE and the 6z weenie extended HRRR actually turned it into a coastal for E ME. But yeah those TTs are always a good sign. This was a weenie forecast sounding from one of the squall lines over my head. Classic windex look.

Okay I lied…we had a little sn/pl to start. There’s a slushy tenth out there. Up to 0.47” now.

0.34” Pleasant fail all around

Just peeked outside… It’s raining and we have no new snow. Good job by Nammy.

3k is basically no snow here. Another inch of water incoming.

OK Raymond Coleman. I'm going to guess our driveways are a little larger than yours and mine is sand/gravel so it can be a PITA with a shovel.

There was no shoveling what we got the other night. 4-6" with a flip at midnight and another 1-2"+ rain on top of that.

Yeah the coastal flooding is the biggest concern.

Pope has posted in favor of winter storms before, but he likes to be ahead of the narrative. If he isn’t first on board with a system he tends to run contrarian so that’s why we’re getting a lot of heat trolling right now. But there’s nothing wrong with wanting warmth. There’s no rule where you have to cheer on snow and cold here. But obviously most are posting here with an interest in winter storms so obviously the warmth trolling starts to become a bit disrespectful. I used to cheer on as much cold and snow as possible, but now I’ve flipped and cheer on mild, tame winters. If we can get a biggie then I’m all for it as I like more bang for my buck.
