danstorm Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 LOL, what's more likely. 120 hours of snow, Kev getting 5 posted when it snows for 120 seconds, or him and forky hugging it out? I'll take option #2... Incidentally, it reminds me of a bet that was made between two of my friends (roommates at the time) ... we were living in Brighton near Comm. Ave. right along the Green D line... (yep, that slow, POS of a train that you can outrun). One day, after a few pops, my friend Chris and I were wrestling on the couch (this was ~ 8 years ago, we did lots of dumb sh&t) and we both fell on our living room coffee table, breaking the glass and cracking the wood frame. Neither of us was hurt, though after we both got up, Chris says to my friend Evan, "I owe you $20" ... apparently, they had placed a bet - one thought that I would break the coffee table, the other figured I'd get hit by the train... the bet would get paid out on whichever event came first. This bet, of course, was news to me... and the thought of me getting hit by a train was rather insulting... I can be clumsy as hell - sure - but that's pushing it, right? As fate would have it, a few months later, as I was walking along the Comm. Ave. median during a snowstorm, listening to some tunes on my new iPod, when I heard a loud horn, turned around, and watched a BC-bound trolley pass inches from my left shoulder... /story, back to tracking 3 dumbbells and measurable snow for days and days...

ORH_wxman Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Euro ensembles are just a total snow-gasm for SNE...it sort of has all 3 waves and all of them are cold enough for snow. I'm still skeptical on the first two waves being seperate....but it definitely hints at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 So it appears this go around that the block is strong enough to keep the low from going too far north. Man it's hard not to drool, but we have to keep things into perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man it's hard not to drool, but we have to keep things into perspective. Yeah even wave 1 is still 96 hours out...people need to remain pretty stoic despite the urge to want to chuck 'em.

Will was right a few days ago. A few years ago if we talked this much about storms 4-7 days away we'd have gotten slapped by the administration.

ORH_wxman Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Where does low 1 track? Is it similar to the OP run? Both wave 1 and 2 are similar to the OP...wave #3 (the big dog) is a tad SE than the OP but pretty similar overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Where does low 1 track? Is it similar to the OP run? First wave is pretty weak...you may even get shutout this run. Wave 2 looks better for CNE than 1. Then we have the 996 low over the BM for 3 with quite a bit of QPF up into NNE so there are some goods member hits for you with that.

This actually happens a lot at the beginning of a season or with long lulls. When we have a storm on going or on the doorstep it's a lot easier to not worry about d5+. We had quite a stretch from the 2nd half of 06-07 through last fall where storms just kept on coming. Weenies have been spoiled with calendar years of 50"+ of liquid.

radarman Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I got 18 in in the 92 storm and if I travelled 5 miles (which I did), there was close to 3'. Would love another 92 but a tad more south. Definitely some similarities there. If this happened again perhaps someone from the board could come cut Happy Valley, ineedsnow, and I down from the trees we'd be dangling from.

Weenies have been spoiled with calendar years of 50"+ of liquid. I recall the beginning of each season being fairly bad...this year it has seemed totally off the wall....but you bring up a good point on how spoiled we were in an active pattern from 2007 through last fall when it came to winter storms. Even getting screwed in '09-'10, we had a ton of action to track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
