I had forgotten what a real miller A looked like
Here are the snow totals from the storm in January 1988.

Figured out how to plot High and Low pressure icons.

A lot going on in this picture, but I was able to get some new variables.

Oh this is awesome ^
A couple of graphics from the Blizzard of 1927.

I finally figured out how to show ERA-5 precipitation type! Here’s an example from the ‘88 storm. I will send a gif later.
Now I can kind of reproduce storms as if they were modeled with current technology.

Lord have mercy 1039 banana high. Pants tight
Here's a gif from the Blizzard of 1996.
The infamous winter storm from 2011.
Winter storm of '88. Beautiful looking storm!
Winter storm of 2016.

Maps from the December storm of 2018.
I just plotted some GFS maps going back to a storm in 2017 (The Infamous RDU gradient storm). Here's where the run happened: https://southernwx.com/community/threads/1-7-17-1-10-17-winter-storm.53/page-12

I just created a nice ensemble member panel graphic. I plan to use my graphics during certain storms. These will be useful if I wanted to zoom into a certain state rather than with the map restrictions most sites have.

Here's an example of the zoom capability.
I just finished a GEFS mean graphic.

Made some graphics in python using the African Rainfall Climatology Version 2 (ARCv2) Dataset w/ 0.1*0.1 deg grid spacing.
The last decade of May 1-June 26 precipitation anomalies plus this year. This year is on a whole other planet
May-October Monthly precipitation climatology.
This dataset nearly broke python, 2.5*10^9 data points is a lot to handle haha
Here's a daily standardized anomaly time series I created in matlab. North Africa has seen above normal precipitation basically every day since the beginning of May, little sign of that changing anytime soon

Nice work Eric! I’m curious what you did to calculate the average climatology? Was it already a product, or did you have to calculate it separately? I’ve looked into calculating the CFSR climatology and had no luck. How did you go about downloading it, did you write it to download from the Thredds server, whenever I try, my computer locks up.

I had to calculate it separately within my code using a few for loops. It honestly wasn't too bad.
I downloaded each May-Oct precip file separately from LDEO's website & concatenated them along the time dimension to produce one big 5 GB file which then I used to create daily & monthly climatologies. I also occasionally flipped back & forth between python & matlab to make some of my graphics (because some matrix operations are easier in matlab)

Everywhere in green is experiencing record high precipitation for May 1-June 26th according to ARCv2. ~25% of the grid boxes in this domain had records >1 mm/day, ~15% >2 mm/day.

One more N Africa precip graphic:
Today, I've been playing around creating windows in C++ (A programming language). I've been learning C++ for a while, because unlike Python, which is great for simple graphics, and calculations, C++ is developed for speed and size. Most applications are created in C++, such as video games, or weather applications such as Baron Lynx or WSI Max. My dream has been to create a broadcast application similar to the ones you see on the news, but for personal users. The closest anyone has come to that has been WSV3, but they only include maps, my dream would be to add on headers, and forecast graphics, similar to the ones I make in Powerpoint. Although it is much harder than it sounds. This is what I managed to accomplish.
