Miller B is a bad word around here good sir (especially this year)...wash your mouth out with snow soap!!! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olafminesaw Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 The GFS is going to be a big hit (although it may start to pull to far North.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After next week I really do hope it warms up and this is over. And I think it is. Things look to be finally breaking down. Congratulations man! Boy or girl?

Lol saturday has a hot little wave sliding to the south. looks like an overrunning event. those are easier. next week, at least on the 6z, looked like it could trend north (though that was a quick glance). i think we need to be all in for saturday and roll the dice with that one. i agree with stormtracker that every day makes it more difficult here in april.

87storms Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 i have absolutely no expectations as far as stickage. if it snows in april, that's a win. wanting stickage is something worth complaining about in dec/jan/feb, not april lol. i fully expect daytime snow and puddles, and that's fine. that's when you go for a hike along a trail/woods to get the better effect.

Wonderdog Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 We're getting closer to the event and the models are not backing down, yet. All we need now is for the storm to turn up the coast on Sat. night. This would be a crazy ending to this POS winter. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not phasing or amplifying really. It has very little buckling at h5. It's an open wave. The precip is mostly baroclinicity induced with perhaps some enhancement from a jet streak or ribbon. The system 2 days later is something that could bomb like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second more amped storm two days later would probably not end well for many of us as it looks now. I saw the CMC but I think our money should be on Saturday for what could be a snow tv binge watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 psssssst. Hey, guys, its no longer winter. I legit feel like this snow(if it actually does happen) shouldn't even count in the 17-18 Winter totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The system 2 days later is something that could bomb like that. Couple of days ago I thought there was a possibility and that the models were hinting at it. Not so much now. Just not getting enough separation between it and the lead low running through the lakes Friday. Speaking of the day Friday system in the lakes that may end up being a sneaky little surprise for those up around the Mason Dixon, possibly even closer into the cities. If the precip gets in early enough with some decent rates I would not be surprised to see some minor accumulations (mulch covering-inch) especially in the favored locals.
