I'm loving the warmth. Thunder was a great touch this AM. This is a nice week. And I will be loving multiple snows and a historic monster next week. 

It's not really about warm/cold.. we all know it's going to get cold again. The exuberance over a day10 HECS on one model is a little flimsy.

If it was a run of the mill 4-8" there would be little chatter. But you have to admit (fantasy range and all) that it's a pretty sick storm. It's like buying a megamillions ticket. You know it won't happen but always dream about if it did. And gefs p005 has it to so there's that. lol

but everyone does appear to legitimately be chasing a d10ish HECS. i guess once you get one HECS it's allowable. 

 

to some extent...there is still a heavy dose of levity and sarcasm involved...It is a good advertised pattern...I think most of us know the score...we're a pretty smart (though annoying at times) forum as you know...hopefully you'll hop on board the "train" soon and we can name the storm ;)

I think something is likely in that period. Other than atmospheric memory not sure I can get aboard pd2 returns yet.

People certainly are not nearly as excited for severe as they are snow. No doubt about that. I'd say most of that is due to our locale. We do snow well contrary to what people say. We do not do severe/tornados very well. Maybe I'm wrong, but most of our severe days are either messy or linear. We rarely ever get big discrete cells around here. That's not to say you need discrete cells for tors, but it's what you see in most big outbreaks. We're just not a big severe area and that plays into how this subforum treats severe vs snow. Again, maybe I'm wrong. Ian, please do correct me if I'm wrong.

The other part about severe is that it is often localized.  Easier to get excited about a big snowstorm that is going to bury a wide region than a spin-up tornado in La Plata.

Yeah, that as well. You can have a pretty good idea of where things will fire, but how big of an area? A few hundred mile radius? Saying the entire metro area should expect 3-6/4-8 gives all of us some love. Not to say anyone wants big severe at their house.

Spent the day yesterday trudging through a foot of snow in Highland County helping a friend tap maple trees.....sap was already running. Of course, it being 42-45 degrees helped a lot. Never thought about how much 'work' we were putting in until I got home and ate and turned TV on a little after 8....only to wake up after 1 am still in recliner haha!

Best part is I'll get 'paid' later in syrup! :)

 

EDIT-

Oh, BTW did anyone else have thunder freezing rain this am???

you do realize it is mostly tongue-in-cheek?...

Exact-a-mundo, my DC lawyer friend. That's where I'm coming from too. My prediction of the Great Appalachian Blizzard of March 2014 is also tongue-in-cheek, even though I will be sure to flood all the Mid-Atlantic threads with pictures and obs since I know you all love to hear about weather hundreds of miles from the home office of this subforum. 

 

And that whole tongue-in-cheek stuff, we're talking about the face-cheek, right?
