Misc Cold Season Complaining

Server hamster for the next week.

Cannot even fathom how the board wound handle a legit historic snowstorm. Would wake up to 25 new pages the week of
 
The evolution of this storm on the models reminds me of January 9-10, 2011. a long duration storm that came in two waves. Phased and tilted over south Georgia. My area got 8.8" of pure snow.

After last week I think I’m going to wait until go time to be all in. I was hyped expecting 2+ inches last week and even fooled by some huge 7+ runs just the day before.

You’ll learn that going all in, on time, every time is more fun than posting “it’s coming northwest we got fooled again this is a Virginia storm.” for 7 straight days. This is a lot more fun if you just hope for the best and quietly expect the worst instead of just loudly expecting the worst all of the time
 
Every time someone mentions the Feb. 2014 storm. My anxiety hormones spike. One of the biggest micro-bust for my house ever. A literal one county-wide donut hole of bare ground on satellite the next afternoon. We got about 2 inches of sleet... everyone to the south got like 6-10 inches from the stationary fronto-band... everybody to the north stayed all snow when the main event arrived... And I got ripped a new one in the middle. It was an awful nightmare I never want to re-live.

So as excited as I am about this upcoming storm, I have this odd feeling of anxiety of (what if i'm in the 10-14 inch jackpot zone and get the donut hole from hell, 2 inches of sleet again).

And this potential storm is pinging those feelings b/c it looks very similar, Initial east to west running band of precip from overrunning, then maybe a pulse of precip as the shortwave approaches that comes with more WAA.
 
I am cautiously optimistic on this storm. Even if it was a good mixed bag in my area of snow and sleet I would be satisfied. Nothing sticks around like sleet does

I remember that one being good but not great here. That’s all I can really remember. I do remember driving that night in it up to Greenville and the highways had deep snow on them. And I remember getting stuck driving up a hill off of Pleasantburg Dr and had to slide back down and park then walk back up 1/2 mile to get to my buddy’s apartment

Have to admit I'm pretty ok with overall precip. placement at this range. Sure the euro operational was nw but eps brought it back to reality. Prefer to see some more consistency (more even distribution) overall on the model ensembles which I hope we start getting.
 
So, this is extremely promising but realistically when would yall start to buy in on atleast storm being here? Fri 18Z Runs ? Like if it still looks like this by Fri night I think were atleast in the game. Or are we already a tad past this going "Poof" and runnin the apps and blasting KY/OH/PA/IN . Like there is INSANE agreement

I think a good benchmark on -something- happening is gonna be does it survive the weekend. Maybe if we’re still talking about it positively on Sunday morning
 
Honestly, I'll happily take the 12z GFS and run right now like I said earlier.

Do not want a late move, bleh. I'll pass on the ice.
