We're gonna have more chances to screw it up too beyond this weekend. The pattern might be even more favorable after that....we'll see how it progresses, but decent agreement on western ridge building.

Like you said, she ain’t lettin us out.

To be fair, nothing this week has really been a big coastal....it's always been overrunning and trying to be on the correct side of the gradient....this coming weekend sort of looked like it could redevelop into a coastal at one point, but it was like 80% overrunning precip even on those scenarios.

It's really the perfect storm of missing all the forcing at all the "correct" times to minimize our snow....there's big overrunning to our south tomorrow which is going to whiff us....then by the time the boundary moves north, we have an ill-timed shortwave riding well west of us to prevent good overrunning snows on Wednesday night and Thursday....so we're left with weak sauce precip....then of course on Saturday night and Sunday, we've alreayd mentioned the PV rotating into a surgically perfect location to knife the banana high in half to allow the storm to ride up right between them and screw us that way. Sometimes, you just get cold cards....maybe we can still salvage the weekend.

Oh yea not referring to this week but instead, the last several winters we’ve faced nice looking h5 colors ripe for a coastal that either gets double nipped or sheared out as we get to D5 and in. And when it does wrap up nicely, it sends the ccb to Niagra Falls.

I concur it happens once in 15 years yet appears on the model 5 times a season. How many big ice events over the last 30 years? Like 2-5? 

Big ice events are rare but minor ones not so much. Hell, this Thursday we are expected to get some ice. Possibly the weekend too, but that looks more like plain rain right now. I am more in the Euro camp for that one.

Late 80’s into the the very early 90’s were horrific…everything would fail.  Then Feb 93 it seemed like we started to come back. Maybe the come back kind of started with the December of ’92 storm that season…?  But then Feb 93 started to wake up.   Let’s hope we can mimic something like that being we’re kind of in a similar place with things finding ways to fail. 

As down as I am on this winter, I am still emphatically on board with getting as many rolls as possible.

Ya..we had some ice last Thursday…everything glazed decently.  But he is talking Ice Storm…power crushing grid failures is what he’s looking for.  Very rare indeed.

Can we ban the term KU? How many KU’s have we had over the last years? 

Quite a bit actually.

Some of these didn't affect SNE in a big way but even taking those out there's been 10-15 or so in the past 10 years that are Cat 1 or higher. Last one was probably Jan 28-29 2022.

This is the normal NAM T-minus 36 hour scare.  We feel hopeful until the rest of the models give us a hard no in an hour or two.

yeah i dont believe anything the nam is selling good or bad, the model is pure trash, just commenting on what its showing, well see what the globals do in the next couple hours
