Following a Miller A/B hybrid type coastal potential, Feb 13th ... As yet untapped potential and a higher ceiling with this one

Not seeing any of that precip make its way over the Ohio border.

This is actually incredible

Look in the bright side. We don't need to plow mud season like roads now. I wouldn't mind 2" or so to freshen things up though. 

I was anticipating depositing about half the "gravel" on my driveway into a snowbank. Just mucky all around, and the refresher is definitely needed around here.

Nope.  Staying right along the state line.

still the same here b/w Fairfield And Bridgeport....

The gun shell casings scattered around Bridgeport probably screw up the plows.

1z HRRR 

This is even between 22z and 01z.  Only a few hours. Keeps tightening the gradient south in the beginning of the event.

22z

01z

The model shifts are surprising on their own.  What seems even more surprising is how confident NWS was in their forecast prior to the shift.  This was not a low confidence forecast late morning today.

Great point

So is Tip officially banned from starting threads now?

Stupid question maybe but isn’t that missing 2 hours of QPF?

he did say the "potential" was "untapped"

To be fair, he nailed the storm potential the needle just got threaded too far south.

What a kick in the nuts this turned into

Pope is going to take this and run with it. And he got this one right, but the problem with him is he doesn't know how to communicate and look at all sides of the spectrum.  I think that's what gets him in trouble... But he got this one. So kudos to him

I was just thinking about that today, i could have swore when i was in school in the late 90s and early 2000s we never saw cancellations until the morning of, like 5AM. Almost never. Cancelling the day before a storm seemed like it was recent thing to me.

Your right.  It usually only happened when a storm was underway during the afternoon or evening.  It is now the norm...

It's a 6 hour map so yeah, but I think he was just showing how much less in comparison.

The pope predicted this to be a rainstorm.

Our schools here cancelled right before the models ran south. It’s better for working parents to be able to plan childcare if needed.


.

That's exactly the main reason.  That's ok as long as everyone understands there are going to be the occasional bust...

That is actually painful to watch.

Wouldn’t some parents actually enjoy a notification that school is back on?  The ones who know their day will be strapped due to childcare now?

Who will be the first school in history to try reversing an early decision?  At some point it’ll happen.  Text and call alerts. It could be done.  If some kids still stay home, who cares,  but you get the day in.

I'm actually in favor of being able to do that... Or at least change to a delay?  They all use email or text blast anyway...

[weatherwiz]

finally got around to making an updated forecast

Good call, 5 hour difference in maps but only 3 hours difference in run time.

[Henry's Weather]

This is the worst bust since March 22 2018, but maybe even that one was lower expectation

[AstronomyEnjoyer]

The convection allowing models are now hallucinating an inch or two of snow running up the Monadnocks. I'm back in business, baby!
