Yeah, you can put it in there, but I wanted to use the new data (1950-1978) in particular.

Lotsa good ones like the blizzard of late Nov 1950, Jan 18-19 1955, Dec 11-12 1958, Mar 2-4 & 9-10 1960, the New Years Eve blockbuster event in 1963-64 (esp for AL & TN), Jan 16-17 1965, Jan 25-27 1966 (blizzard of 66), Feb 9-10 1967, Feb 15-17 1969 (insane snowstorm in the SW Piedmont of NC very much like Feb 2004), of course who could forget about Feb 9-11 1973, and Jan 19 1977 (snowed in Florida).

I was finally able to plot 500mb height anomalies! Truly a bomb of a storm!

Yeah, I like this a lot better ngl, how did you get that colortable? Did you have to create it from scratch?

I created it from scratch. I used the ColorPick Eyedropped to get all the hex codes for the map and used manually entered it, which I have examples of how I implemented it on my Github page.

However, I did want to ask you, since I decided to plot it for March 1960, and since it's from a different dataset, I got this error:

TypeError: Length of x (481) must match number of columns in z (421)

I know you are supposed to reshape it, but I've been confused how you go about that.

Nevermind, I figured it out, and am working on a gif of March 1960, but fun fact, there was actually was a SER at the beginning of that month.

Ahh okay lol I had a feeling, well once you save it, it's there with you forever lol

The SE Canada low was a common theme in March of 1960, I'll get excited if we see this look again at some point in the winter. SE Canada ridge isn't going to do it.

Kinda look like hour 200+ on the models right now, smh

The only real difference is the SE Ridge didn't push the SE Canada vortex away in March 1960.

Yeah SER is a powerhouse now when allowed breathing room

Great News @Webberweather53 I managed to plot those Miller A/B composites w/ ERA-5 thanks to the Excel file you posted. I downloaded all of the 500mb heights so far from 1950-1978 (others later), to match the storms to the NETCDF file. One great thing I plan to do is create a lag of days to show pattern recognition with really only one extra line of code.

This looks fantastic, very much looking forward to what you find

Have anyone of you guys worked with Adobe Illustrator? I have a course on it coming up.

I may have used it once a long time ago, but I don't know much about it.

Here's the April 1974 MSLP map. I tried to base the colormap off the original Weatherbell one. @Myfrotho704_
