My job has been pure bedlam for the past few days, trying to quell the stupid rumors that people have been propagating. I have already made up my mind that when this blows over and someone makes a comment like bolded above, my reply will simply be, "Your welcome."

The way the models have been overhyping storms all winter, we all know how this is going to end.

Thanks for the warning guys. I'll be wearing this when visiting the board from now on.

Not in our subforum, but the tornado death toll is up to 22 in Tennessee. I love being a weather hobbyist, spotter, and chaser, but in my profession, that's my worst nightmare.

The joys of having lakefront property in @BuffaloWeather country. Nothing like having your home frozen over.

February was by far the snowiest month here. Ended the month with 13.8", which included 3", 3.4", and 5.7" snows. We had 10 days with measurable snow, but only 12 days with at least 1" on the ground.

I know that it is met Spring, but at my latitude, I use the vernal equinox as a delineation to Spring, as there really aren't enough pleasant days in March to consider it Spring. I actually consider both March and November throw-away months, or no-man's land, if you will. Neither month has enough snowy weather to be considered winter nor do they have enough nice pleasant days to enjoy as "Spring." (The once-in-a-lifetime Morch as the exception).

The snowboard had 0.7" at 7 AM, another 3.1" at 1 PM, and 1.9" at 7 PM, for a total of 5.7". The 7 PM snow depth was 5.1". The low ratios and warm ground early hurt the total, but it also kept compaction to a minimum. Still dropping dust. EDIT: I just realized that Alek's call is going to nail it......for my back yard!

I had 3.6" on the board at 1 PM and it still snowing nicely, so should be able hit 4. Not to be a glass half empty guy because this is nice, but oh what it could have been with some cold air to work with.

Freakin' amazingly trash models this winter. Just a couple of days ago, I thought Alek's 5.5 call was going to bust due to the best snows being in WI, while I was waiting on a participation trophy for back end reacharound flakes. Tonight's 3km NAM bullseyes us with 7". Unbelievably bad. I feel bad for forecasters as every time the models pull this crap, they have to take the brunt of it from the public.

Jackstraw and I were sitting on the bank, just watching the action when we actually hooked what we thought was a big one. So we judiciously used the reel's drag and slowly brought it alongside the boat. It was at that point we realized that the big dog we thought we hooked was actually a minnow. At this point, I'm ready to catch and release so maybe it will swim back northwest.

A couple of questions concerning the NBM. Which models are included, what data are included from each, and is there any weighting?

The satellite from yesterday pretty much tells the story of winter 2019-'20.

In the immortal words of Harry Caray, "The cleanup hitter, the Euro, is up to bat. Here's the pitch, a swwwiinnggg and a miss. Holy Cow! That ball was so far outside, it was an Apps runner! How about an ice cold Budweiser?"

madwx's post piqued my interest in the deepest seasonal depths here. I began keeping CoCoRaHS measurements in 2006 in Huntington. Note: They are rounded to the nearest one half inch and depth readings are taken at 7 AM, so maybe not exact, but close enough for horseshoes and hand grenades. This winter seems to be mirroring 2015-'16 for suckage. In fact, it has been suckage for snow depth ever since then when you consider that we have had only 2 days when there was 6" or more on the ground. (6" on 2/6/18 and 7" on 1/20/19. Depths dropped under 6" on the following days). Two days in 5 years!! Of course we can't throw 2014-'15 under the same bus because I'm sure you all remember that winter. Here, we had 57 days with at least an inch of snow on the ground.

The ensembles do have a coolish look from about next Thursday right on through the end of their runs. But checking forecast temps a month out?

Good luck down there! The wife and I have talked of vacationing in the area.

MIke Ryan at IND is singing a happy tune in his long range discussion this afternoon, beginning with the already infamous Feb. 27th rainer. I'm in the camp of I'll believe it when I see it. THIS SYSTEM WILL USHER IN A RETURN TO A MORE ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN FOR THE LAST WEEK OF FEBRUARY AND INTO EARLY MARCH WITH CONTINUED HINTS IN THE 7-14 DAY PERIOD OF ONE OR TWO HIGHER IMPACT SYSTEMS POISED TO AFFECT THE OHIO VALLEY AND LOWER GREAT LAKES.

We're sitting at a balmy 10°. Forecast only gets us down to 5°.

You both smoked me, 3.4". Tied my November total for season high.

It’s gonna be a rainer It’s a no-brainer There will no snow in my container I’m not trying to be a complainer But NWS should put me on retainer I’m not following this storm so I’ll be saner If Hoosier wants to ban me for this, I’ll catch you all later

March is gonna rock

Dropped 3.1" here. I'm hoping to tack on some bonus stat padding tenths with that lake enhanced stuff that will blowing through here shortly. Looks like pretty widespread 2-4" totals, which I would call a bit of an underproducer for a lot of areas. Hoosier was right about the Euro totals along I-70. Up until radar watching time, it was spitting out ridiculous amounts through Central IL, IN, and OH. Worst model lol I have a feeling that Ryan, Tim, and Jack all beat me, albeit by a few tenths.

I kind of like my chances, even without slant sticking. It is nice to see guidance giving everyone north of I-70 a little love.
