I was disappointed by who uttered it though! 

Sure seems like some wild times in February. We're going to be flirting with really cold and pretty darn warm in close proximity to us. 

A recipe for big precip!  Yes, I thought of it not be ralph/steve b but a buckle up is a buckle up!

I like it, usually that means the good precip is nearby.

We won’t win them all, but I think we score a couple more decent Wintry events.

Several Chuck references so going to add one more thing...his posts are spot on in acknowledging that indexes are just as readily/likely modeled incorrectly as actual surface weather predicts.  

The man knows what he is talking about. I just find it funny that he disappeared during ourbdeep winter run of about a month.

He is a warminsta.  I miss a lot of his posts but I rarely see him leaning cold.    He had nothing to tout for weeks.  Lol.  Now there is a battle of model driven data and and he has place at the table.

Haven't been on here much this week. Wife got flu type A, was trying to take care of her, then I got the same thing she had. So it's been a rough week. That flu really knocks you down. And wife for at least 10 years but possibly more has been getting the annual flu shot and this years was to cover a broard spectrum of flu virus.

We picked up 0.06" of rain overnight here in East Nantmeal. Rain today and this evening could bring us between 0.50" to 0.75" of much needed rain across the area. Mild today to close out our colder than normal January with temperatures well into the 40's. Chillier and dry over the weekend before milder for much of next week.

A coworkers wife was in the hospital with that this week. Hope you both are on the upswing

Wow. Similar situation here last week. Wife got sick over the snowy weekend, then gave it to me two days later. Same flu type A that you have. Totally kicked our asses. I'm still not 100% recovered. I'm not contagious, or sick anymore, but lingering fatigue and a raspy voice remain.

37 this morning with just .03" of rainfall thus far. Our forecasted amount has been slashed by 50% already. 

Something to keep in mind over the coming weeks...this was to be a moisture-laden event that's fizzling at the last hour. 

I kind of had my doubts about the magnitude of this event because many of the models had been showing things really breaking up over us and being rather sparse.  With that said, I still think we end up close to a half inch when it's all said and done, with the better stuff set to move through later this afternoon or this evening.

I'll tell you what was really misforecasted (made up word?), and that was the temps for the last couple days of this month.  Back when I did my end of month calculation the forecasted NWS temps were MUCH cooler than they've actually turned out to be.  The final mean temp for the month is going to end up a few tenths higher than I predicted.  I should be fired from my job.

Take Care and feel better (both of you.)  The flu and Covid are still both spreading around the area.

Mesos have rain well into the evening with still .5-1" to go. 

That's good to know. I thought everything was to be out of the area by 5pm.

Haha true but you know what's funny, the last few months MDT has consistently been coming in colder than forecasted.  Traditionally, when I do my monthly calculation, I nudge things up a bit to account for the MDT warm bias, but it's been the opposite lately (river ice and other factors?), with the obvious exception of these last few days ha.
