CAPE

Exactly. He randomly says this shit from time to time, out of the blue. It has political undertones, and it's ridiculous. He has claimed several times that the libruls ran Mitch out of here. Mitch is a big boy, and always fit in well here, and I never saw any indications of conflict. He has chosen not to post here for his own reasons, and that's his business. He has pmed me about weather related stuff over the last year or so. Very friendly discourse as usual. RR is clearly misinformed and a triggered snowflake.

Lolz I have the ability to run posters off this forum. Who wants to be next?

Yeah probably here too, but nothing I had to drive in so not as memorable.

I remember one legit one, when I lived in Carroll county. Strong cold front with heavy snow squalls(and thunder) where it melted on the roads for like the first 5-10 mins as temps crashed.

Mount Holly has rain/snow showers in the forecast for Monday night, and mentions flash freeze potential in their discussion.

Looks good at the end of the GEFS run today. Nice amplitude too- poking up over AK.

A perfect track bowling ball with cold air aloft and strong lift might get it done. The proverbial 'creator of its own cold air!' storm.

GEFS has it further east. Marginal airmass outside of elevated areas though. Probably not likely next week will produce for the majority of the MA. Its going to take some time, assuming the AK trough does weaken/retro, to get some legit cold air on our doorstep.

Vienna sausages are right up there with potted meat. If I was forced to eat them...

..and it will probably be gone at 18z.

12z GFS has a legit snowstorm for the western highlands early next week

lol The advertised pattern does hold some potential for somewhere, probably the mountains at our latitude. Most likely it wont be cold enough for the lowlands, but something like a closed low taking a southern track can get it done.

Another day of speculation. Lets roll!

Surprised you didn't get it. I know I'm a terrible poet, but still..

Latest extended GEFS gets really meh beyond the first week in Dec. Pacific puke galore. In early Dec, we better score!

Spammed with maps have we been?

Start a new thread.

It's super impressive to look at h5 but for all its gyrations, it really never does much at the surface lol.

That wobbling loop de loop closed low with 2 different phases on the GFS is different.

I agree the majority of people comply and wear masks and socially distance. Is that possible with kids playing organized contact sports though? Kids are natural vectors for disease, even though they may not even exhibit symptoms, and then they go home and spread it in the household.

That's fine, but the science is sound. There is nothing baseless about these protocols. They are inconvenient for sure, but sometimes we sacrifice and do things for the greater good.

Everyone is frustrated to some extent by now. I know I am. But I also know the best course of action is to mask up and keep a safe distance from people not in your bubble, until a vaccine is widely available to the general public. I have a class to teach next week, and I, and the students, will be wearing masks. Luckily it is a small group so I can keep them reasonably separated as well.

You are talking organized sports right? Ok so those activities have been suspended temporarily. What is preventing kids(or anyone) from still going outside and getting exercise? This isn't going to be forever, and there is a science based rationale- to minimize close contact and mitigate spread as the cases (and strain on the hospitals) are ramping up heading into the cold season. This is not a punishment or a "crushing".

Modeled simulations of the atmosphere aren't totally real?

Grab a football and go out in the yard or street and play ball with some friends. Or find a random field behind someone's house.That was our "organized" sport when I was a kid in Carroll County. We had some pretty brutal games. There is always a way.
