You can clearly see where the cold front is on radar racing east from east of Williams Port PA down through Baltimore MD

Up to 50 mph, I'm plowing comes, and dot barrels off road, never seen barrels with weights blowing across road before

usually these kinds of slips (called expressive errors or paraphasias in writing/typing) happen when the brain is translating thoughts into language faster than the fingers can keep up, annd relying heavily on muscle memory and autopilot. When typing quickly without full attention, the mind races ahead, leading to omitted words, wrong similar-sounding words, or incomplete ones. A lot of people ask me about this, and happens moreso during acute stress or anxious periods....like when you really want winter to arrive after three years and it still hasn't.

Yup. Always happens. 8” of snow, no warning. 70 mph winds, no warning lol

When I was at WestConn, one semester during my broadcasting class I had made a snow map for a potential storm we were getting (I don't remember the year). But I had text saying, totals could shift depending on track...but I wrote shit and didn't catch it until we reviewed the video in class.

These gusts are so strong, this is the day they should have a high wind warning.

Recent gusts: Bridgeport: 44 mph Farmingdale: 61 mph Islip: 60 mph JFK Airport: 55 mph

Jones beach gust to 70

As I just posted, this time a year ago had a much colder weeks 3-4 outlook than now. But I also said that a somewhat better comparison might be how it looked for Jan 2022 at this time, when instead of one of the coldest week 3-4 outlooks on record for the SE half of the US, it was suggesting a mild SE half of the US (including Mid-Atlantic) was a better possibility: A little after this point in Dec of 2021, when there was a similar very strong -PNA to what’s being forecasted for late Dec, the weeks 3-4 outlook was far different than it was in 2024: How did Jan 8-21, 2022 verify in Greensboro, NC? They ended up 4 BELOW normal and had two 1”+ snowfalls. So, one would have had no clue from NOAA even as late as Dec 24th that a cold Jan of 2022 in much of the E US was incoming.

Not a fun drive home from Foxwoods. Visibility under 1/4 mile at times.

Certainly one of the more innocuous ones I have observed on this forum...

Bridgeport has now received 0.67" of rain today. That breaks its daily precipitation record for December 19 of 0.64" from 1948.

Winds are howling right now. FRG sustained at 40 gusting to 59. This post didn’t age well. Wild out there

Furnace Mt. should be windy indeed today. Always worry about colic with the temp swings.

I literally have no clue what is wrong. Over the past week or two I've been making some insane typing errors. Like I am typing stuff that is not matching what I am thinking in my head...like missing words of a sentence or using incorrect verbiage (like saying uncertain but forgetting to add on "ty"...things like that). so weird

The sun is out - didn’t expect that this morning.

Heavy shower but no wind yet

Agreed 100%. That's why I've been following some of these guys around the internet for 26+ years. Since the days of Wright Weather BBS. And the addition of new blood to the mix has only made things even better.

Taking care of a friends horses over the holidays. Waited out the rain as they go out during the day. Saw that the Wind Advisory has been upgraded to a High Wind Warning. So tonight’s feed on the side of Furnace Mountain will be fun… not. On the way back home this morning though just pulled into the neighborhood and the younger Ms J and I saw this beauty!

Wow sustained winds over 40 at farmingdale, gust to 59 mph

6z operational GFS looks winter friendly at 500 mb/evolution into the first days of Jan ( night and day to the 0z run, actually - ). However, the sfc evolution left something to be desired. I figure if its evolution in the deep layer is closer to reality, that's correcting most likely. The problem is, it's every other run with these guidance. It's the same shit as the last 6 days of guidance peregrinations, frankly. No sense even reacting to the cinema ...people still will though. Big parked remarkably persistent mega height node, all ensemble systems, smack between the WPO and EPO domains in the N. Pac., while the easterly biased NAO pulsates ...it's leaving almost no pattern signal in between. So we're probably in the worst predictive hole we've been in in years.

Absolute-100% same page.

Pretty intrigued seeing mesos this impressive still this close in
