dendrite

I’m in the all or nothing camp. If it’s not going to be big then give me blue sky and SNE cirrus.

It was mostly after 12z.

Looks like a lot of big hits up here based on the eps individual modeled snow depths at 144hr. We wait and let it play out.

Here's the last 3 runs. Quite a different look vs 12/18z.

Southern stream is pretty amped this run and the confluence shoots right on out. Not saying it's right...it's the German model for god's sake...but I'm not surprised it's way more N this run based on the upper air.

GFS paraplegic last night looked somewhat similar (edit...bad take here...similarly amped but they get there differently)

Congrats Freak

I honestly don't cheer away your snow...but you know how these things go. No one was going to melt much today with low sun angle and low dews. The problem comes at some point Sat night/Sun morning when you warm sector and mix those dews in. It won't be one of those 58/58 torches, but could be 50/47 or something before the CAA gets kicking. Hopefully you keep your pack coverage.

Don't do it to yourself. Bend over and take your annual SNE boning.

I’ll let you in on the inside joke Dave. It’s the ongoing annual joke in this subforum. The annual Grinch cutter that let’s everyone open their windows Xmas eve while Rudolph guides Santa in his speedo.

You know SNE will get crushed and we’ll get 2” of wind blown salt and sugar.

She’s making the same face you made while jumping into the hole.

SUNY MM5 was like Freak’s ARW for me. It was my last resort when all else failed. You could also dig deep into the old SREF members to find an eta or rsm solution you liked. The NGM was always good for downslope weenies because it was coarse enough to gloss over any meso aspects. Wraparound snows for days SE of the mtns too.

Wxbell is his dunkin donuts.

He was reading him AFDs and TAFs while in the womb.

Really jealous of your 50s on Sunday. Wish we could melt out a bit too.

25-40” in my county

Good times https://web.archive.org/web/20010405123656/http://www.wright-weather.com/cgi-bin-bb/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&number=11&forum=Forecasting+Discussion&DaysPrune=30&startpoint=760

The beginning of our community happened.

Bruce Schwoegler left nothing on the table. Great storm up here. Feb 01 too.

Some decent bursts of snow led to a few accidents on 93 on my way home. Only a couple tenths though...morons driving like they’re from MA.

Euro pops a weak sfc low with that in enough time for Maine.

I give him credit. He's a good sport.

Anyway, I'm excited for a colder rain this weekend. /sarcasm Like Will said, I do worry a bit about a trend toward icier solutions up here. It's been a rough start to the season for the birches and my bamboo. The driveway is in midwinter form with the glaciating hardpack snow turning to ice.
