You're coming off like a d*** with all these posts like this, dude. It's been a really, really boring Winter, so it's only natural that people would start tracking and analyzing when the first chance for colder and more active weather in a while showed up in the models inside day 7. It's not like people have been posting ridiculously over-the-top analysis either. Seemed pretty level headed mainly along the lines of "the first mountain snow in a long time and the possibility of lowland snow if everything went right." It's been obvious that things aren't "going right" for several days now and thus there have been barely any posts about it except for your continued posts about how boring the pattern will continue to be. Just stop.

Last year was an F since we have already exceeded last year's rain totals. Maybe a F+

You haven't seen the GFS then obviously

We all do, but your posts the last few days reek of d*****.

Yeah my Dad just text me from Bend and said it was starting to snow. He's heading down to K-Falls tomorrow morning. Hopefully travel conditions are decent in the morning. Not sure why he didn't just go all the way to Klamtucky this afternoon. Old people...

Just started snowing here in Bend. Beginning stick off the roadways. Hopefully wake up to 3-4 inches tomorrow.

It's possible, given how breezy the last two winters have been, not out of the question that many of our days under the ridge will feature gusty winds and therefore hold back a lake breeze. I agree though that on the whole the lake breeze will likely stifle a long term warmup near Lake Michigan.

- The idea of yet more ridging focused on above 5-"10" days out notwithstanding. Today's main fuller-framed VIS image, main Goes-E. Somewhat indicative of an if more gradual evolution in and where looking at broader patterning. http://www.fvalk.com/images/Day image/GOES-12-1800.jpg — Time remaining, basic sun-angle, for whatever potential more rain / snow, being the main question of course.

18z GFS looking better for NE folks....staying surprisingly consistent...

Pretty solid ensemble support for that ridging around day 10.

If this verifies and people head out to the Washington coast beaches.....better beware of the Great White shark. 18 footer apparently. http://bc.ctvnews.ca/great-white-shark-stalking-waters-off-washington-state-1.2255382

I am assuming this means spring in the west, winter in the east? Any thoughts on what this summer will look like?

If its not going to snow, we might as well go big. Hasn't hit 60 at my location since November.

Looks like a pretty epic warm spell coming up on day 10 of the Euro. Maybe the first 65+ of the year for some spots? At least those that didn't hit it multiple times in January and February.

12z Euro...N IL is in a mix situation...from WI/IL on north is all snow...close call for Chicago...

Looks like Dallas is currently sitting at a sweet 26 degrees with heavy snow.. Tired of seeing all these cold anomalies east of the Rockies. http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/814day/814temp.new.gif

12z euro: 993.5 in E. CO at HR 96 850 mb line is from Central Iowa just south of DBQ and then SE south of Chicago

Waterloo hit -24 this morning! Destroyed a 118 year old record of -14 from 1897.

GFS is showing 60s pushing into central IL by mid month.

Waterloo is expected to break a 118 year old record tonight! Forecast is for -19, record is -14 set back in 1897.

Anddd my call is that every one of you is wrong on your predictions. 1.75, 2.1... i mean I'd understand 1-3", but decimals?? Come on now.
