It makes sense that people would get excited by them. Expand For sure! I'm excited by them, especially down here where they've been consistently good. That said, I'm trying to adopt a different mindset as of late. Taking a three hour walk through the past storms has really helped me just appreciate the beauty of it and not watch the radar. With the ultimately underwhelming compared to expectations storm this past Sunday, walking through the massive dendrites was just amazing. Didn't know what was coming up on the radar (not that the radar ever tells you what's happening down here in CHO) and just enjoyed it in the moment. that said the EURO has promised me 10"+ multiple runs in a row and if I get less than that... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 As I said this morning, the trend to drier was evident. And that has been the trend inside 24 to 48 hours for every storm this season. Anyone thinking they are accumulating what a clown map shows over 36 hours with .02" per hour qpf rates is fooling themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
