I was riding a horse that was bucking. 87 here.

Here it comes... https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/?parms=LWX-N0B-1-24-100-usa-rad

Predicting first "shot across the bow" in a couple of months.

85/67 now after a low of only 74. Hazy sunshine, but brighter than yesterday at this time.

WFH today and just realized that my temp is already 3 degrees above the forecast of 83. I'm sitting at 86 and it's confirmed here: https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KPAMARIE28?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR1aUZn05v6EL1SCu83D6YWAz4KB0xPA7zBHapk7ZxcoZfWMxfMgsX9YEUY_aem_AatgGdtB3HDmy_lQiEQW3p1bDKQzlUbvSccn8VpHsQ_8zcjQ2DxBPNU21ROdUrVrozfMvldDScho9lY6LgyGK0dL Looks like MDT is WAY behind what it is here.

Darkness has once again warshed over this dude.

It was off the west coast when the storm took place, which is all that matters. Yes, the jet was a factor, but so isn't the poor positioning of the ridge. I don't know why you inexoprably seek agreement on a 100% CC attribution for everything.

Going to be a HAIL-OF-A-DAY.

also notice how your highs happen closer to 5/6 pm instead of the normal 3/4 pm. that's probably when the heavy shade starts to end

If you're traveling on US RT 2, you'll get within a mile of my place, though it's 2 miles by road - from the blinker in New Sharon by Sandy River Farm Supply (one of the cheaper gas places in the area - $2.929 last I looked). Should be a nice ride up I-95, somewhat slower HUL to PQI. The pullout north from Medway has a great view of Katahdin, possibly compromised by smoke. (Maybe you've already been through there before and I'm not offering real news. )

Awesome stuff as always!!

That ridge position in the means off the West Coast in January 2025 was able to build into the Rockies later in the month like you pointed out in 2022. But the Pacific Jet carving out a deeper Baja trough than we saw in 2022 was acting as a kicker. So the trough near the Northeast was a little too far east for a repeat of the late January 2022 blizzard. Too many competing marine heatwaves driving the pattern this past January to allow the pristine MJO 8 forcing pattern that we got back in 2022.

keep telling yourself it's that

I'm betting on a 0.7 to 1.2 degree drop when the fan aspirator kicks on....

84 and rising. So far so clear

And you took this pic while riding a bicycle

Rush 'em in and rush 'em out. Except winter of course, unless it's too icy, too cold, or doesn't snow early or often enough.

I'm actually sort of intrigued at Sunday evening. The timing seems a bit off and it's not clear that areas (especially NE of the Potomac) will be unstable enough - but 12z NAM nest really fires a lot of storms mainly west and south of the metros. It would align well with CIPS honking - but not sure there's a ton of support. Good indication of missing ingredients.

I’m looking at my pics and videos of 1/6/25 and reminiscing already… definitely in my top ten all-time favorite snowstorms.

Exactly

I think we can agree that Summer's back is broken. Sure we may see a warm or even hot day here or there but soon we will be sipping hot fresh cider and peeping at leaves.

wow that sounds absolutely amazing, the smoke was your filter
