score one for the weenies

 

Quite a scene out there. This storm has performed almost exactly as modeled. About as close as you can get really. I was laughing at all the deb's and cancelers last night when the snow that was never supposed to get here didn't get here and then the hallucinations of despair set in.

I can't believe the schools shut down for a few inches of slush...we have about 3" here too in Westminster.

Eh used to it. Growing up in OH I always was complaining that the schools here closed for a few inches. But after living here for 13 years I understand. People cannot drive in even an inch of snow here. An event like this was an excuse for us to get the boots out and have a snowball fight walking to school.

The model verifications seem to have come at the wrong time for the meteorologists, but I'm pretty sure they won't mind.  Snow is coming down at a good clip again.

Closing in on 3 inches and moderate snow.  Roads are a mess and no plows yet.

 

They knew about it since Saturday. The forecast the WIC gave them is right on track. Meanwhile the HRRRRRRR gives us 8-10 in the next few hours :lol: If we get even half that we'll be lucky.

I never expected much more to be honest. Yea, if it was 5 degrees colder maybe but this is at least quite "memorable".

 

Nice pivot starting to show up. Maybe we get death banded later.

I woke up on the second barrage of texts but not the first for some reason. Oh well. Have an event at 9 so of course I can't take photos. ;)

Looking at radar loop we got about the best we could have possibly hoped for unless there's another 2-4 coming and then ill look for a new hobby because I totally suck at this
