True story: Feds were offered govt negotiated (but not govt paid) long term care insurance. This is circa October 2002 on a cool breezy day. They had this information session at the DOT facility near Kendall Sq. I see this guy running well ahead of me and I was rushing fearing being late. I get on the check in line where they were checking IDs and of course I forgot mine. The same guy is in front of me and I see it’s a NOAA badge and the name is Drag. I blurt out “Walt Drag” and he wheels around wondering who could know him there. The guard let me in and I sat next to him for the session. We talked snow a lot! An amazing coincidence! We stayed in email contact for awhile-brilliant and very nice man.

Can you imagine if they got Judge?

Cmon ice-let’s head south and sip pina coladas while talking SF Giants.

1993 was quite the apps runner around the 23rd. I think it actually snowed a bit on Christmas night but 3 days later we were off to the races.

Well I guess the west has been due. We had fun at their expense-now it’s our turn in the barrel.

And now I can’t go to VT as I’ve rebounded from paxlovid treatment and now have mild symptoms but testing strongly positive. Pisses me off but at least the rebound seems much milder vs when I first got it 10 days ago-more like a run of the mill cold.

I'm sorry, missing out on a white Christmas doesn't sit in the same room as having 4 shitty winters in a row. Not close. One day vs 4 months. So given the importance, let's give that day a month's worth. You still are overdoing the bitching. But i love you and remember you snowblowing 30+ last winter.

I"m looking at AirBnb places in Malaga (Spain). Get away from this mayhem. Supposedly lots of expats-could be a fun interlude. Wintering here is becoming mind numbing frustration.

Well for me I’m getting ready to go to VT Sunday so I put Monday as my day because I’ll actually be able to pay attention. Long winter ahead.

So channeling my best George….well excuuuuse me!

Still seems to be a lot of spread between deep cutters and off shore solutions on GEFS. Anyway, this is still 6 days away so I'm not stressing over it. If Monday evening we're cutting, I'm running.

It feels like it should be later than 12/16 given how much discussion there has been in general this winter.

Wolfie hibernating with the bears?

CMC looks like a strong fropa.

I would be ok with gfs. Snow otg once this system clears and it's winter cold.

Nope-right over eastern MA.

Bizarre. Beautiful track and the cold is gone?

Lol…maybe after his morning run at 5am he’ll retort while waiting 5 hours for me to wake up….

I don’t think this is the whole story. Yes gfs has a known progressive bias but your initial reaction states “severe SE bias”. That is very strong wording and a lot of that severity has been fixed. You factor every model bias before tossing out of hand if you want to more than emotionally forecast.

Eps at 144 (18z/16) showed the h5 trof going negative pretty far west. But it also kind of hinted at a little cad. Swfe maybe our salvation or at least consolation prize.

See you at 0z

How much is the bias? Do we have a link on that?

OT but I saw this movie where these 2 young women climbed a very high rickety tower and couldn't get down. Watched it on a plane-not the best idea....

Here's for the event itself....

Depends on which snow map you use. Mine includes today but 30+ in parts of ME ETC.
