    I was thinking about that the other day, but currently it doesn’t look like we’ll meet the wind criteria. We’ll see.

    I doubt we hit 35mph at all unless it becomes real wrapped up...

    What are the criteria for a blizzard?
     
    Officially, the National Weather Service defines a blizzard as a storm which contains large amounts of snow OR blowing snow, with winds in excess of 35 mph and visibilities of less than 1/4 mile for an extended period of time (at least 3 hours).

    They are currently going through the 5 steps of grief but at different stages at various rates. Some are actually already at step 5. "3-5 inches isn't that bad"

    • Denial: "This can't be happening to me," a defense mechanism to process overwhelming news.
    • Anger: "Why is this happening to me?" Blaming others or feeling rage.
    • Bargaining: "I'll do anything if this isn't true," making deals with a higher power.
    • Depression: "I'm too sad to do anything," profound sadness and hopelessness.
    • Acceptance: "It's going to be okay," coming to terms with the reality of the loss.

    Bro you've posted it multiple times now, we get it, you're hoping for a miss so that your plans aren't ruined. This is a snow board though so keep it to yourself honestly. We don't want those bad vibes.

    Lol...I remember 1 other time but there may be more.

    I imagine virga warnings will be hoisted if it’s that cold while we wait for the storm.

    Call me nuts but I wish this next storm is 100% FZ w/temps around 12-15F/Day. We haven't had a hum dinger of a icing in a while. Besides, I'm sick of snow. That's old news...need some new blood in here.

    Fwiw, the tree guy is here right now with the chipper, I kid you not. Should I dive in head-first or feet-first?

    Lol, what a coincidence. Hopefully we get a good storm where limbs would fall and we would hear more wood choppers.

    No doubt, feet. Head first would be way too easy/quick...

    Yeah this is why you don’t start threads 5 days out imo. Major negative changes on the gfs and cmc. Suppression is definitely on the table.

    Public hanging? Stoned to death? Firing line execution? Wood chipper (feet first)? for those who disobey IMO...
