On the 11th, the precipitation type changed 10 times. Can you imagine the reaction of this board if we had a repeat of that ? Lol. I got 3 inches of sleet my first or second year here - 2017ish? That was one of the most memorable storms I’ve ever been in. a car tried backing over it like it was snow and got stuck lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was jebwalking on that glacier then ended up slithering down hills like a snowbound lemming. That, was pure ecstasy! Ever try sledding down a sleet covered hill that has glacierized? I was going FAST! I felt like Chuck Yeager at the Winter Olympics. There was NO stopping. I went super fast down the icy hill and right into the woods, right into a creek! The ice there was thin, of course. I got a good soaking. Those were the best of times! 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BristowWx Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Hard to get excited about ice. The epic pattern culminates with a string of rainy days that breaks tree limbs and looks shiny until it melts then you have nothing to show for it but broken tree limbs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take 50 and sunny over mud and broken trees. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it looks like for the most part the only non rain p-type we will be seeing this weekend into next week will be sleet/freezing rain. Not really interested in the ice either, with all the trees I have. Sleet is ok and I guess I am used to the idea now with all the sleet I got here last night lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayyy Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 After a big cutter later next week, the EPS/GFS reload the pattern with a nice west coast ridge and subsequent east coast trough, followed by a big snow threat - could be our best shot all year. Cold air with rapid intensification off the coast of Hatterus. Multiple models seeing the 24th-26th as a ripe period for a storm to bomb out along the coast. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayyy Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Poor @dailylurker this winter has made you miserable. I’d probably laugh at every threat too with the winter you all are having down there. We’ve now comfortably surpassed 30” on the season up this way and both next Tuesday and beyond show serious potential, especially for inland areas. I’ll most certainly be interested 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osfan24 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Still chasing the big one. Not sure it's going to happen this year. Got about a month and a half left to see if we can get crushed by a HECS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolz1 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 06z GEFS with a much better HP position and strength for Tues. SLP seems a bit weaker on the mean than 0z but has more of a blocked look as it moves ENE after redevelopment instead of up the coast. Wait and see but good trends , imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
