I just hope games are better this week. Last weekend was some of the most dreadful NFL playoff games I can remember.

I watched all 4. Waste of 25 hours.

I didn't think the playoff games were that bad! As a Denver bronco fan, seeing the Raiders lose was great, but having Brock Osweiler have a decent game against the Raiders was concerning (I don't like Brock as he left the Broncos high and dry after they won the Super Bowl last year). Normally, I hope New England loses but since they play Brock this weekend, I hope New England wins, but loses the following week.

Irrespective of the above, the college championship game on Monday was nothing short of spectacular!

It's called Winter Storm Jupiter. 

Not by anyone that matters.

Odd when the NWS doesn't even know what's falling:

Weather channel on impacts of playoff game in KC.
https://weather.com/forecast/regional/news/nfl-playoffs-kansas-city-ice-storm-jupiter-jan-2017

There is a small chance it could be postponed until Monday. Player and fan safety. That is an unprecedented move by the NFL.

IF they do play it-it could be the new Ice Bowl.

My station hit 80 F this afternoon, after being in the 20's just days ago. Welcome to NC, but even this is extreme to me. I was cutting trees and sweating...

Got our first real snowfall this morning, which even settled for a few hours- though the snow cover was very thin only about 1 cm (less than 1/2 inch), so it was no surprise that it thawed just a few hours later. But its a start. Temperature range is rather small here, low this morning was 0°C (32°F) and the high 4°C (40°F). Weather still feels more like late fall than winter here at the coast.

How is the wind in Germany Georg?

It is now temporarily warmer here, snow is quickly melting away, but from Monday we should be back to -15C (5F)

Nice troll! :grin:

Then what is so profoundly wrong and stupid about giving winter storms names, other than this storm, so far, should have been more aptly named Winter Storm Pluto?

First and foremost, our continental winter storms aren't nearly as well defined as tropical storms.  There is no way for all to agree on what is or isn't a real storm that deserves a name.  What about localized lake effect 'storms'?  Where do they fit into the picture.  If this is such a great idea, then why doesn't the WC advocate for naming rainstorms as well?  Naming continental winter storms is just a marketing ploy, plain and simple.  I see no real scientific basis for it, and yes, I do get grumpy when people are playing foul with foul weather.

I think it's wonderful that Big (or is it little) Al and the WC get to practice naming storms since by next summer they will have to be naming the tropical storms with the demise of the NWS which will be unnecessary in the near future. :twisted:

We have a winter storm watch for Monday. More for the uncertainty of it all.

We have all determined that naming winter storms is stupid. It won't stick. We should move on.
