  1. It kinda has to be. If the storm is meh there’s little difference in pressure at any specific gridpoint. If the storm is stronger and amped, it’ll be NW like you said and your largest delta P will be there.
  2. 00z and 12z has had some weird cyclic variation with each other as well.
  3. It was meant to be funny. What a snowflake.
  4. It’ll handle the 1-3” of arctic sand from each system just fine.
  5. This is when SNE is going to start to get annoying. Stealing snow from every direction, turning rotating farts from a bald eagle into 2” QPF, and then having to read DIT posts where any model crushing SNE is the correct one. I’m at peace with it this year after my December storm, but this is normally when I’d start to feel my pre-cirrus anxiety. So just be ready for it because it’s coming, and it’s going to be a long month posting with powderfreak cheering on the WRF-NMB when it’s 100 miles north of every other model.
  6. Pretty sure it was whacking me with the deform in Dec...at least on 1 of the 100 runs.
  7. I grow it in my chicken run for shade and as a novelty. It's kinda cool seeing shoots come up in late May and by late June they're 12ft tall and an inch wide. It's technically a grass so the chickens eat the lower hanging leaves as well. In zone 5 they have a limit on their size, but if I can sneak in a zone 6/7 winter they'll have the chance to approach their potential this summer. Phyllostachys parvifolia has really sized up for me. It was a small plant in 18 when I got it. In 19 I had a couple of culms that reached my hawk netting around 6ft. And last year it blew through the hawk netting and probably reached 12-13ft. http://bamboogarden.com/Phyllostachys parvifolia.htm If we get a 6"+ paste storm they'll be in trouble since the early December storm bent them to the ground like the birches. The deform band was great though....deep powder for insulation and nothing on the leaves...it's just too bad we torched it all away.
  8. Nah...although Asheville, NC would be tempting. I'd rather just live here and let the Hadley cell overwhelm me in the coming years.
  9. Hopefully that cold shot around V Day verifies warmer. I'd love to get through this winter unscathed with only a low of -1F. My bamboo may reach 20ft this year if that happens. Looks like a few good chances for snow in the coming week or so...pretty typical of Feb.
  10. Reminds me of those old NCEP SREF progs.
  11. Had a few snow showers last night. nbd Clear and 24.9° this morning.
  12. Another 0.8"/0.08" yesterday afternoon on top of the previous 6.4"/0.50". So 7.2"/0.58" final
  13. She sells seashells by the seashore?
  14. Gave in and used the snowblower to finish. Time for a coffee while it keeps accumulating.
  15. Huge dendritic aggregates. Places to my NE will get drilled.
  16. Pushing moderate now as I almost have the driveway finished to the dirt. Damnit
  17. Yup. A weenie spot for E flow and CAD/SWFE
