Sure...it's yours if you want it.

OK but I'm not paying any royalties to you Tornado Girl

My low was -6F...coldest so far this winter.

Same here, 3rd subzero reading and coldest min of the winter -5 @ my house in the "city" of GFL. It figures the one night I decide to go a bit above the too warm MOS' I get screwed. Oh, well such is the trials and tribulations of a forecaster.

Current Radar trends certainly say otherwise. Looks like things clear out within the next 15 or 20 minutes. It came in with a bang and out just as fast!

6.5" since 9am but only 1.5" in the past 6 hours. I thought I could be too far north for the good LES, but sitting right on the southern side of the band. So looks like for now I am too far south. I hope it drifts about 5 miles or so further south and sits for awhile. My experience in the past few years has been that when it starts drifting south it does not stop.

LEK - Congrats on the Steelers win. Wasn't looking good there for awhile but big 2nd half!

Yeah, I think my pulse reached an all time high while just sitting on the couch!! My voice is shot, but luckily, I don't need my voice to shovel snow! Intermittently heavy here ATT. Meso models again are not doing so well. Picked up about 5" overnight. Not sure how this transpires....we are kind of on the cusp of single vs. multiple bands....looks to be a bit of shear, per satelites/radar....probably should load up bufkit to see how the atmosphere is behaving relative to models' data.....Glad everyone to the north got to see some decent snows. We all need a couple big systems up the coast from the GOM to liven up this region....CV runner or something where we get a nice slow moving bomb up the coastal plain to lock in cold air. Haven't had one of those in a good long time....
