I'd take that pattern all winter long, lol. I just don't want to be stuck listening to snow falling and melting in the middle of the night like last year. It was an OK winter snowfall wise, but everything was 8:1 concrete and melted faster than it accumulated most of the time. I'll take the amount of 8:1 concrete that you had every day of the week (and twice on Sunday, for the record), compared to the cold rain/sleet/dry slot we usually get down here in BFE. |

Got .49" total from yesterday afternoon and over night. .71" total for this event. Not much, but better than nothing! Brtn, this shower will settle the dust till noon! Finally got some meaningful rain! Hopefully more to come. Hoping to mow pasture this afternoon, will be nice not doing it in a dust cloud! |

The Davis on the roof in North St. Pete is happily reporting .8" from yesterday/last night. He did mention being startled a few times by the thunder.

Next week probably would have been one hell of an ice storm a month and a half from now. Heck, the temp gradient and advance of the shallow arctic air is almost the same as it was during our 3 "almost" ice storms in the middle of the winter last year. Makes you wonder if this is a sign of what lies ahead this winter.

I will concede that to the snowhole of Marissa, IL |

I can't be the only one to notice the GFS came in a good bit colder again.

I'm wondering if models are starting to "sniff out" the cold air a bit better now...we're dealing with legit cA airmass next week once the front comes through with a 1040+ ridge pressing in. But there's still a wide variation between models and runs with the timing and track of lead waves, and how much ridging is able to be maintained across the E US as those waves traverse it.
Still plenty of potential for snowfall across the bi-state with this setup...

18z GFS getting so close to a nice storm next week. It gives the Central/Western/Northern part of the state a great snow .

Always put on all your plows and salters and test everything out before October 30th The golden rule in snow removal. If you wait till there’s a chance for snow and you have a mechanical problem everyone else in town is trying to get there stuff fixed as well.

Skies clearing here- still a NE wind... and it’s loud out. Would like to see a sounding- would think there should be a strong inversion.
Just thought it was interesting

The cold air supply from the high pressure just disappears on the 00z GFS early next week, crushing our hopes of at least some flakes. One solution, many more to come.

it's a carbon copy of when we got screwed out of any cold in early September.
Just can't lose the low like that.

We should just rename the corner "30's and rain"
