Misc Cold Season Complaining

not gonna lie, it is bringing me a bit of joy seeing some of the perpetually rude snow weenies of mid-atlantic up through SNE starting to freak out on twitter about these trends. some of those mid atlantic folks have had three or four storms of 3+ inches this winter and still act like every storm is "theirs." not this timeeeee

I've just done this long enough to know you can't give up on any threat, because you really never know which one might happen to pan out in the end. 9 times out of 10 they don't, (even the best looking threats), but when they do, it makes it all worth it for me.

I hear ya and appreciate the optimism and knowledge. You and IG all we got in the upstate as far as breaking it down for our part of SC. I used to be that optimistic but the last decade has broken me.

Nah you're right, that was one of the rare times everything lined up perfectly for my area. I wound up with 3.25 inches of snow from that storm that all fell from 11am to 3pm, February 6th, 2020.

here are my notes from it:

hi res models showed a dusting to an inch, and warm surface temps. globals showed nothing in the medium range. -4 850's and -2 925mb predicted and verified around there.
Actual surface temps bottomed out at 31.5 and rose to 33.5 as it ended. beautiful tree sticking snow

I wish we could IP ban but it looks like multiple users are hitting the same IP address some days so we will only be able to ban the username/email and they can just sign back up.

Womp

I remember that. I thought you leaned heavily on the ukmet for that one , but I could be mistaken.

I think the biggest thing with that one was globals weren't cooling the boundary layer off enough for snow. But my thinking was since they were showing -4 850's and -2 925 temps..... the boundary layer was so shallow it would collapse under the heavy rates being shown, and it did.

Even the hi-res models like the hrr,rap,nam 3km, etc weren't enthused b/c they kept surface temps too warm until the heavy rates were finished.

It doesn't always work like that though, I've seen other events where I thought we would get accumulating snow with a collapsed boundary layer and we got hours of white rain and 35 degrees instead. But usually -4 850's and -2 925mb temps will get the job if the rates are at least moderate.

Should we go ahead and setup a GoFundMe for the areas that will need ice storm cleanup help?

So here’s a personality flaw …. Now that I’ve seen that EURO 18Z give me 7-10” I most definitely am annoyed by anything showing like 3-4…. . When two days ago I woulda jumped for joy at 2-3

That's just being human. We are a greedy species.
 
22 hours straight of sleet and mainly freezing rain on the 18Z Canadian for MBY. Sheesh. At least its the Canadian. Really need for that to trend colder.
 
Wednesday will end up 100% DRY west of I-77. Just useless dry cold for the GSP and Charlotte metros. The snow hole for those areas is not going anywhere. Winter precip is 100% done this year for 75% of this board.

Even if true I'll take cold and dry over warm and wet any day I can get it... especially in Feb!
