All Activity

I’m expecting a disaster on the roads. Lots of people off of work will be out shopping, using restaurant gift cards & continuing holiday get togethers. Too many people with the “it’s not so bad” attitude could be involved in holiday fender benders.

I was watching today's JB Atmospheric avenger video and he clued me in on the WPC's historical map site so I'm going back through all the storms that year and looking at surface features. Those big storms all just appeared over the Texas Gulf Coast, tracked over the LA coast and up the seaboard. Seems like a life age since we've seen one of those.

31 - still looking like a 1pm start?

Yes bc they should have bumped.

Good for you! We leave on Sunday to head back SE so we will miss out on next week's snow. Will be back again in late January so hopefully we can get a chance to snowshoe then. There are maybe about 25 acres on the northern slope of the property that was decimated during that bad ice storm and is now almost a monoculture of regenerating sweet birch. Our plan is to donate the entire property to the Nature Conservancy when we pass so I am working to negotiate with them as part of the deal to have them cut those down and replace them all with red spruce to help establish a viable population in this area. Luckily most all the large Hemlocks at lower elevation were spared the axe and the ice so they are doing well. No signs of Adelgids, hopefully the cold is a contributing factor.

Partly cloudy. Windy. 25.5F

75 here today. Definitely an A/C Christmas. Merry Christmas everyone.

Safe travels man

Have a flight that lands at newark at 6:30 pm tomorrow. how screwed am i

32/14. Good airmass

it'll be interesting to see NAM later this evening!

The one thing is with a sleet base it's much easier to freeze on contact Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

Down to 35

35 here with a stiff breeze.

Yea something ain’t right with the WB algorithm. Euro 2mt maps from the source are more like NN for our backyards and a couple degrees below for the eastern GL and NE.

4 to 10pm is mostly after sun set Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

So we are supposed to drive from Frederick to lower Delaware tomorrow evening. What is the thinking for that drive?

Berks resorts could really use this one. Hopefully, GFS is right about Sunday's whiff with the rain.

Looks better down here

Post the picture

Which models? The NAM has been the only one with funky high run to run variability. The Euro, GFS, HRRR have been steady as a rock with 0.30-0.50". Further a drier solution causes even more issues more likely due to a higher probability of it falling as freezing rain, at a rate that has maximum accretion unfortunately enough people are going to convince themselves it's not a big deal and end up with a totaled car, injuries, and putting unexcusable strain and risk on first responders.

18z on top.

Unless we have a major Lucy rug pull, I’d say 2/3 of CT is nearly locked for low end warning snow

Sref much better

When you look at the Euro site maps, you don't come away with such a cold anomaly. So yeah, I'm saying I think WB is inaccurate. https://charts.ecmwf.int/products/extended-anomaly-2t?base_time=202512250000&projection=opencharts_north_america&valid_time=202601050000
