Better hit the stores today and get your cans of tuna and low calorie bread.
 
What a day, the first day of what is basically known as hell week around here.........would be nice to have a major storm on the horizon to help alleviate the torture of work.

Same boat here. The threat of winter precip here closes work. Love working for the government.
 
Well I was hoping for the late week storm to threaten to drop some ZR here, but it's not looking likely right now.
 
Everyone in my pre-cal class was freaking out about "its gonna snow! its gonna snow" because one kid said "The Weather Channel said 90% chance of snow the other day"
Times like that it takes a lot for me to stay quiet
 
I got offered a high end Davis weather station today by our GIS department who no longer uses it. Of course I live in an apt and have no place to put it.

Ask anyone in the foothills 0.25” is achievable yes but a mighty feat too. I follow all NWS forecast discussions during ice storms there is 0% cmc/rgem ice consideration when making the determination for an advisory or warning.

One minute you almost make sense, the next it's like a 5 yr old temper tantrum

My science teacher bought a high end Davis with a school grant. We're putting it up this week and should have it on wunderground

They never even set up a wunderground account for it :eek:. Just used for collecting data they throw into maps.

You mean what they are charging me or how much the unit costs?

They aren't charging me anything and I don't have the exact model at hand, but I'm positive it's one of the $1,000+ ones.

Yeah I know how much they are, I was just kidding you about how much you'd charge me to take it off your hands? Lol

Lol I got ya. They only offered it to me since I do alot of work for them and they know I'm a weather nut.

I can't see the unit since it's on the roof right now, but the receiver looks like the one here

New chief met ( that still hurts to say) Chris Justus, going with non-event, surprised, I know
No issues, showing model with no accums, even in WNC

Related question. Do many of you pay attention to what local TV mets say? Here, I would usually trust someone like Glenn Burns, but him posting that ice map last week was a little concerning.

I don't put too much stock in them, but I do pay attention to what they're saying. I'll always defer to the NWS unless there is some overwhelming evidence to the contrary

One nice sentence: I do believe these factors favor cold more so in North America and Asia than Europe this winter, at least so far.

He seems like a smart guy but he theory just doesn’t work and it hasn’t worked. Seems like a waste of talent to me. Just my opinion.

To me he mentions two things that continue to throw normals out the window, continued very low arctic ice and very warm oceans. Unless either of those two things change drastically, we are where we are.

I also keep seeing people mention: "winter doesn't start until the 21st." That date is really meaningless when it comes to winter storms or colder temperature averages. Our coolest months are December and January. The last day of "winter" in this area has an average high of 66F, March 21st, whereas the average high on December 1st if 59F. One could only logically deduce that you have a greater chance of anything frozen in early to middle December over middle March. Perhaps I'm wrong on that, but numbers don't lie.

To me I consider winters start Jan 1st. I know it’s not really the start but the time I really try to look for storms. December snow is rare in my parts in December. January- March it’s game on.
