If it was a Saturday, that's the one. We didn't get a single flake. As sad as it was to miss the snow, it was so comical I still laugh. I remember driving to see Bright Nights in Springfield. On the radio that night, they was saying 5-10" or something crazy. I said to my wife "I don't think that's going to happen". Didn't realize it would be bone dry.

I think that BOX had upped the ante to 12-18" for the east slope. I went to bed with a smile thinking, as usual, we'd get smoked. Instead, I awoke to not a single flake and Ray asking how I liked smoking cirrus. Worst BOX bust evah.

nice coolish evening out there.....

i didn't know a side effect of shrooms were hallucianations of bare trees at 2k...

but

i can tell you the colors yesterday from 2k to 2.5k around mount snow were awesome.

perhaps pete sleep walks out to the front yard and violenlty shakes his trees leafless with his hair blowing in the wind to help reinforce his belief that his climate along the east slope rivals alyeska.

Imagine the snow pack across NE if that one hit. Although you could argue if that one hit, the rest of the year would be different...

Did they kick you out of Florida Pickles? Extradited? Or did you flee just ahead of the villagers with torches and pitchforks?

For Will/Brian....can we post euro images from paid vendor sites?? I posted one of the euro weenie maps last year but got a PM from a staff member to delete it. I thought all along it was ok...but would like your opinion. I don't want to have those sickos start bothering you guys.

I think its fine to post a really old one like we just did. But real time stuff I would probably stay away from.

So those maps that show the 850-500 RH critical thicknesses etc are defintely off limits??

Oh well you build those yourself at WSI don't you? I think those are probably ok. I was talking about qpf maps and stuff. I don't think thickness data is off limits.

Yeah I do, but I got a PM to delete those last year. I like posting those..but I don't want to get you guys in trouble. If you think it's cool...then that's fine by me. I know the other stuff is off limits.

Perhaps the staff member didn't realize we build them.

They must have bought it, their site is a goldmine with ads anyway. Perfect example of how to make millions with weather.

They would have had to pay like tens of millions of dollars though, which makes me skeptical. But if they did, kudos to them.

I agree with Will. I think we should leave the QPF to WU. As long as it is free there, if people want to post images of the QPF from that site that's fine. I don't think we should be posting images from the private vendors at this point unless it is a map of something readily available on most sites. I don't mind the mean RH/omega stuff being posted.

Its gonna be nice to see.. But were still going to have to rely on you guys for the Euro right when it comes out... Isn't there a lag with wunderground?

There's a minor lag with wunderground, but nothing like the huge lags we saw with accuwx pro and stuff. I think the lag with wunderground is maybe 5-10 min...at least it was during irene, but I haven't checked more recently.

If their lag is up to 30 minutes, then I could see them keeping it around because that is the typical lag you see at other sites that charge a low fee for the Euro qpf...ala accuwx pro.

Cool.

I wouldn't be as worried with the board as I would be as ECMWF complaining to your employer. I'm sure the agreement that your company has with ECMWF has a clause in it about the data not being reproduced even if the graphics are being made by your own system... it is their data afterall.
