It's going to be even funnier when most of it melts over the following few days.

 

Not that I'm bitter or anything.  

 

suppose to have a high of 46 on Tuesday.   Hell most of our March 08 big dog lasted almost 2 weeks as arctic air set in afterwards.

 

not that I'm bitter or anything....either    :devilsmiley:

HRRR seems to be coming in even further North then the other models. It has been the most accurate the last couple systems so that has me pretty excited.

Though RUC has been going pretty far north too, but I've heard that's a bad model. What would help OH more than a northward shift though is a Delayed transfer

HRRR will be interesting with the transfer when it can read that far. This run looks to me like it jumps North very quick. It's not quite as far East when it gets to the MS/AL/TN border compared to most of the models. Gonna be interesting.

The pinnacle of every weenie dream.   They've hit the jackpot.   Only thing sicker would be if arctic air followed this instead of a warm up.

 

I have a good friend from Mexico working at the Mexican embassy in DC.  He started the job in November, and has never seen snow like this. Hell, *I* haven't seen snow like that.

You guys are really grasping at straws here.  If anything like this scenario occurred, it would be an epic bust for I-70, and that just is like a once in a lifetime type of bust, and we had ours in 1996.

Yeah, maybe. The HRRR has just been the most accurate for all of our systems here this year. I think it is probably much too far north but we will see.

stopp'n in to stoke the weenie fires with some gasoline :devilsmiley:

ruc

I still felt comfortable leaning Euro this afternoon and went 2-4" for Athens and a little more in southern portions of the county but it would take such a small bump north that some models still show to give us considerably more so I'm a little more nervous than I'd like to be.

When I see things like this, it makes me wonder why some of these models are permitted to remain in existence.

That's a composite reflectivity map. None of that "precipitation" will make it to the surface. Nothing wrong with the RUC/RAP model at all...only the interpretation.
