Like you?

No ones terrified or we'd all be in the er this morning because today's a proper torch or at least last night was.

But there's no snowpack to melt. So we enjoy this torch. The worst torches come when there's 6-12 inches of pack and it's all vaporized in 2-3 days

Agree. Though I'm not a huge snowpack person . I like a complete melt and refresh from time to time.

I don't get that line of thinking. We work so hard for it to snow..and to pile it up. Why would anyone want something they love so much to melt, so you're left looking at a brown, barren manscape?

When you aren't really used to it..you don't care as much. For me, it's the event itself. Snowpack is great, but not a necessity to me.

I honestly can';t think of too many worse things for me personally than to see snowpack melt. it just tears me up inside

Old urban snow ain't pretty...lol

Meanwhile brief, but potent cold shot coming this week.

If only that were ensembles.

Looks like there may be a risk for some sort large scale storm system next weekend as the SE ridge and PV battle it out.

Hopefully not an inside runner but that seems possible

I think if we're going to get good snows out of this pattern we have to take this risk (as if we have a choice..lol).

Okay, I have to ask... How exactly does one "work so hard for it to snow"?

I'm not sure what you mean.  Are you implying that obsessively analyzing every model run for the possibility of snow has no effect on the outcome?

Lol....I had the identical thought.

[jamesnichols1989]

I enjoy this forum better than accuweather forums.  There is just too much banter for a simple storm system.  At least here we can isolate the banter to its own forum.  How does the EURO look so far?

I prefer our 30 page discussion to be geared to whether someone hits 87F or 91F or if BDR will finish with a -0.2F or +0.9F departure.

[Damage In Tolland]

I think it's bad when folks don't post or post once every 2 weeks. post a  lot and post whatever comes to mind. be social

Two epic little bursts of cold rotate through. One on Wed night and another Friday... Looks pretty chilly

 

-18 850s the first round and -21 for the second with -32 scratching Big Black River in northern Maine!

Just a hideous, hideous evolution.

 

Let's hope none of that comes to pass.
