Good morning #AMS2024 ! Be sure to drop by poster 218 between 3p and 430p (EST) today. I will be discussing some research that highlights the utility of probablisitic data over deterministic in an IDSS framework.

@wxgirl81 @BassMasterG_WX Snowman was being built when I pulled into driveway!

[Aaron Ward @AMWWX]

Melting has kept accumulatons limited so far, but about 0.5" had accumulated at the Ward homestead as of 5 pm. #phwx @NWSAmarillo

[Aaron Ward @AMWWX]

@NWSAmarillo 100%! We picked up another 0.5" with a quick burst between 5p and 6p. Huge aggregates again.

[Aaron Ward @AMWWX]

@BassMasterG_WX @NWSAmarillo Yeah that was some sticky snow! And they were desperate for sure because there was a lot more than just snow in that snowman. Lol.

[Aaron Ward @AMWWX]

@SkyPixWeather I would avoid deterministic model output more than 1 day out in the Texas Panhandle, especially if there is winter weather involved.

[Aaron Ward @AMWWX]

@DrWildcatWx @backinblack_wx @COweatherman @DekeArndt Lol, this is a bit late, but the coffee smell remains.

[Aaron Ward @AMWWX]

@PSU_RadarMeteo Nice! We need to dive back into these splash cases again soon.

Major hail fog getting into Imperial, NE

[Aaron Ward @AMWWX]

@CStewMedia @NWSAmarillo @accuweather Yes and yes. This was taken a few miles northeast of Canyon, TX.

About 15 minutes of nickel to golf ball size hail (possible one or two slightly larger) followed by this wonderful site. It was worth it! Still need to assess the damage, but I don't think we lost any windows. #phwx #txwx @NWSAmarillo

[Aaron Ward @AMWWX]

Golf ball size hail at 2400 Thunderhead. Started around 632 PM. Some small hail still falling. @NWSAmarillo #phwx #txwx

[Aaron Ward @AMWWX]

High winds causing low visibility. @NWSAmarillo

@DrWildcatWx @bengcampbell @wildweatherdan @ryanvaughan @PSU_RadarMeteo The bigger the better!
