    I actually teach marine engineers who work on NOAA research vessels. They will be out of work.

    Yeah I brought this up earlier. Its gonna happen, and this is a science based weather forum. Taking the chainsaw to NOAA isn't pertinent or discussion worthy?

    As I mentioned in some previous posts, this is likely the beginning of our last gasp window for a potential winter storm, ending around the the 10th. Pretty decent signal for a coastal low here with possible frozen precip.

    You can't change the minds of the willfully ignorant. You will learn that with experience.

    I thought that was my storm lol! The storm (window) claim thing is super amusing lately. I mean I had the one in 2022, but to be fair we were in a complete shit the blinds pattern of despair when I saw the potential way out. And it actually happened. That is my one and only "storm claim". And it was more of a recognition of a major pattern change along with the potential to produce a snowstorm pretty quickly. I retired after that one.

    I wasn't referring to approval rating. That is historically bad for this early in a presidency. I meant nearly half of the electorate actually voted for this shit.

    Nothing about the fucked up political situation is going to be fixed by bringing it here though. Unfortunately nearly half this country thinks what's going on is awesome. Engagement is futile. This is simply and sadly where we are at.

    Sometimes there is overlap. As a scientific community with a focus on weather and climate, this shouldn't just be brushed aside or ignored because it is 'politics'. https://www.npr.org/2025/02/15/nx-s1-5297183/noaa-national-weather-service-trump?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/5157377-trump-administration-noaa-cuts-imminent/

    This is probably the most likely period overall for something interesting to occur.

    Drinking a Wicked Weed Perni-Haze IPA. Kinda been bored with the NE style Hazys for awhile, but picked it up as a single big beer can just for the hell of it. Rather enjoying it to my surprise. It seems quite good, but might just be that I haven't been into these much lately so a nice change of pace.

    As of now, this window looks like maybe the best chance for something wintry- in the form of a southern stream shortwave ejecting eastward and riding the thermal boundary just to our south with cold air pressing.
  13. CAPE
    If that's what he is specifically referring to, then yes the strength and depth of this cold airmass with a southward suppressed thermal boundary was not conducive to a weakish, flat, southern stream wave doing anything other than what it did- moving west to east and exiting the coast well to our south.

    Its not 'too cold' to snow. We don't have a hyper continental climate. We do cold and dry/mild and wet pattern cycles quite efficiently though.
  15. CAPE
    And...no one cares about whackUweather.
  16. CAPE
    Given the metrics heading into winter we were pretty lucky to get any significant -AO/NAO periods. Going forward into March our chances for cold/possible snow will be driven largely by a more favorable Pacific.

    EPO is still forecast to go negative around the end of the month on the means. Prior to that we have a +PNA Chuck.

    Looks snowy at the Uni

    Spring begins March 1st. Whether or not it feels like Spring is another story. Probably not the way things are looking at this juncture.

    The min is centered in N VA. We know where that is. The desert lol.
  22. CAPE
    Yeah I love it in the off season. Not so much in Summer.

    I need to retire and get a nice low stress job in the Rehoboth area, and move there. DFH brewery would be a dream, but with my background I would get sucked into the automation side and be working long hours lol.
  24. CAPE
    Get something good!
  25. CAPE
    It was pretty impressive when I was leaving to go home, but It seemed to be winding down. Maybe a quarter but definitely a solid dusting.
