Interesting snippet from CTP's forecast discussion this morning: ( @canderson) The biggest story on Friday will be the potential for strong to damaging wind gusts. Building high pressure in the southeast US will interact with the potent and deepening cyclone crossing the Great Lakes to produce wind gusts exceeding 40mph Friday afternoon in the wake of the cold front. Anomalously strong wind fields could result in fairly widespread gusts of 40-50mph across the northeast US Friday afternoon. Wind Advisories may be needed for at least a portion of the area.

Agreed…and we’ve had a lot of very nice/great patterns of late, that produce zero…or very little. I’ll take my chances with the not so pretty, or mediocre at best pattern and give that a shot.

Take a good look at surface temps from Friday on. High barometer and low barometer cold.

Excited for the thaw though and no more dirty ice sheets!

I don't care what anybody says. That is impressive! We'll see where the month actually ends.

Yea it's pretty straightforward. Just need some clippers to be timed right when the cold presses occur, but otherwise there are no biggies with this one. We'll see how chances look on the OPs once we get past the cutter.

Columbia east: 14.4° this morning barely beats Monday’s 14.6° for coldest-to-date this Fall/Winter season.

I think sometimes we try too much or hope too hard for that perfect pattern but perfect patterns are tough to come by. I've become a firm believer in that it's not just about the pattern, it's about how the pieces are moving, evolving, and interacting within the pattern.

SCIENCE!!

Ended up correct. 13.8° in Havre de Grace. Single digits just inland. edit: looks like a 6.1° in Darlington on the Davis network map. It’s situated in a valley by Deer Creek. Insane.

The fact models keep our surfaces below normal is a flag to me. Watch for changes.

We do a unit on chemical reactions and energy. The anchoring phenomenon is how an MRE flameless heater works. We introduce them to MREs and their heaters and when you might use them. Power outages due to storms, etc. I mention that example because many were in their cars for 8-12 hours. IF they had an MRE in their car's emergency kit they could enjoy a warm meal of roasted rat while they waited it out. The unit itself focuses on Sandy and Maria but I throw in tht storm, the 2008 ice storm, and the flooding from 2023 because I'm a weenie

The bright side is, if he thinks it’s trash…we are destined to score for sure . Said Sunday’s deal was trash too…lmao.

Tells the tale of a seasoned wxman who should have known better getting stuck in traffic for 6 hours.

We enjoy this fleeting moment.

I don’t necessarily disagree with the pope. It’s kind of a meh pattern, but at least not hopeless.

Low of 20. Really thought it would get lower considering it was 21 when I went to bed at 11. Supposed to hit 50 today.

What lesson is that?

Measured .6" of snow yesterday evening. Season total is 5.4". Low this morning was 9.1. One of winter's greatest treats is early morning sun after freshly fallen snow. We've been treated to some spectacular scenes the past 3 mornings.

Smiling very broadly seeing you here. Very happy that you are feeling okay. Many of us have been thinking of you since last winter.

Introduction to Road Rage 101??

Yea, 2022-2023 has some utility as an analog, but it won't be as mild as those seasons in the east.

You the snow capital of SNE currently…way to score .

I use that exact image from BOX in a lesson I teach

Drove to Foxboro from snowy Cape Cod this morning. Only a coating here..actually maybe 1"..but patchy in sone spots
