75 for a high here. House got a little warm so I reversed the ceiling fan and turned up the speed. Feels better now.

Officer LaPorta are you OK?’ Uxbridge police officer killed in crash when weather turned road into ‘ice rink.’ https://www.wcvb.com/article/route-146-uxbridge-massachusetts-crash-police-cruiser/69932695

1995-96 was my first year measuring snow imby and it was quite a doozy of CAD. Now, again, remember CAD is different here in the Lakes. No matter how good or bad a pattern is, flakes will be in the air. Its not literally bone dry, but in my lifetime by far it was the biggest screwzone Ive ever been in. The Chicago-Detroit corridor just missed everything of relevance that year. ORD had 23.9" and DTW 27.6". The early Feb coldsnap saw days of below zero weather with zero snow on the ground, very rare for here. Totals couldve been even worse if not for a nice March 20th snowstorm (5.8" DTW, 7.0" mby, forecast was 1-3"). Weve had so many great winters since I dont really think about it, and in fact, I would NEVER even give it a thought if not for always seeing it mentioned on here . And almost certainly re: Philly. Obviously the avg much less to begin with, but a Nina winter is almost always better here anyway. Since 1995-96, Nina snowfalls ------ PHL -- DTW 1995-96: 65.5” – 27.6” 1998-99: 12.5” – 49.5” 1999-00: 21.0” – 23.7” 2000-01: 26.1” – 39.0” 2005-06: 19.5” – 36.3” 2008-09: 22.9” – 65.7” 2011-12: 4.0” – 26.0” 2016-17: 15.0” – 37.9” 2017-18: 29.8” – 61.0” 2020-21: 23.9” – 44.9” 2021-22: 12.9” – 47.1” 2022-23: 0.3” – 37.1” 2025-26: 4.8” – 17.8” *thru Jan 7

I remember some brutal cold days that winter, complete with plenty of wind too. Pretty sure that was the winter we had a tremendous amount of sleet and temps in the ten degree range after about six inches of Arctic sand with one event

The comparison of the Euro Weekly temp. anom. maps of a week ago and today for Jan 12-18 is fascinating: Dec 31st run for 1/12-18: La Niñaish sort of look Today’s (Jan 7th) run for 1/12-18: nearly opposite with El Ninoish sort of look!

Was going to get one but my neighbor up in Maine bought an attachment for his tractor and does my driveway in 10 minutes, I think it's 60 inches wide.

I have a few, moved up here and lost a lot of stuff, I have it somewhere in the bins we brought. Should have said I couldn't find one. Got caught off guard.

The reality is the Ravens will hire the coach Lamar wants. Seems a big part of why Harbaugh was fired is because Lamar didn't want Monken as the OC, which I 100 percent understand, but Harbaugh wanted to keep him. Harbaugh probably "lost the locker room" largely because he let Monken do the stupid shit he did- like refuse to run the ball in the AFC championship game against KC who had a suspect run defense(Ravens were the best running team in the league), and leaving Henry to rot on the bench in the 4th quarter of the NE game a couple weeks ago when the Ravens had an 11 point lead, with a defense that is famous for blowing 4th quarter leads under Harbaugh. Run the fucking ball and eat clock in that situation and you keep the crappy D off the field and you win the game.

I'm still waiting for the promised"revisions"....

Definitely infuriating but as you know, at some point, itll turn around.

18z NAM picking up on the colder trends for the weekend

With so much NS energy flying around, nothing will be clear about the upper level progression along with the trough next week for some time. I'm not giving up on the 15-16th timeframe until the weekend - even some light clipper action a possibility in the scheme of things.

Feel like the forum might wake up next week

The EPS has a nice pass into Phase 8 by late month. Wintery chances along with it.

It had better melt.

Snowy up there in NNE

The pieces are moving and 500 is throwing some good looks. Looks like we are no longer waiting for things to evolve into a pattern that could change, the wheels seem to be well in motion.

You brought back some serious memories with the CD case ice scraping dude, lmfao

Sounds about right, I also planned a trip with the wife to the Poconos. So I-95 is going to get crushed.

what makes you think your wife would approve?

Back in the day I would use cassette tape cases and a little later on CD cases. Usually had to use a few of them since they would break pretty easily

Topped out at 60 in Pen Mar. Daffodils showing some push up from the dirt which is a bit surprising.

Painful

I know there is more than just the mjo, but if it really progresses, then we should be in better shape moving forward. I don't like the kicking can scenario too much lol
