    seeing my first tornado (June 5)

    looks like Baltimore's 1982-1983 shows 8.4" of snow, but way more than that fell during just the Feb 83 storm

    my station's overnight low happened during the 9 pm hour, then by 1 am the temp had shot up 10 degrees

    If this temp pattern is anything but random, I would speculate it is related to the winter solstice. Minimum northern sunshine happens mid-late December. Perhaps the small increase in heating that occur in January is enough to instigate artic cold draining to the lower latutudes at a certain time, with the result DC sees unusually cold temps Jan 20 or so.

    New Orleans? If the NFL wants to be sure of no big snow during the Super Bowl, they should move the game to our area.

    remember that Mar 1 1980 storm well since I was an on-air Baltimore weather guy at the time, still have my forecast notes on paper in a box somewhere

    Long term temperature normals are a smoothed average. If you remove the smoothing, that is, examine the actual daily averages for the past 50 years in the NE Corridor, you'll find the there are two separate annual min temps, one centered around Jan 20 and another Feb 5. In between those dates is a slight warm up, sometimes called the January thaw. This year might follow that pattern.

    Wait, Joe Bartlo procreated? Say it ain't so!

    Southern slider. The 12z GFS appears about as good as we can get from it around here. If the storm were to wrap up more than depicted, precip type issues would crop up for the big cities. Been following the 11th's storm for two weeks, sorry it's not looking wow for us.
  10. LongRanger
    the 18z GFS brings back the cold at the end of the run, with snow to New Orleans at 384, yeah, that's happening

    first class wx pr0n, just don't look at the ugly upper air progs
  12. LongRanger
    I've had my eye on Jan 10-12 since posting here two weeks ago. Love fairly slow moving systems like it. Someone's going to cash in, but the big cities now look to have mixing concerns. The Jan 5-6 Thing should clear the way for better 10-12th modeling.

    18z GFS has -30 to -40 2m temps in northern plains at 276, h5 reminds me of Jan 1977

    My Heathkit ID4001 station from the 70s is still working, anemometer and all. Probably going to outlive me. Whether its air temp sensor ever reports below zero again is another matter. At least there's a chance next month.
  15. LongRanger
    haven't seen this promising an upcoming pattern in a long time, my eye is on the Jan 10-12 period to cash in on the cold

    CFS among others leading the MJO to 7 portends a colder January here

    train in the Jan 2000 snow near Baltimore http://www.trainweb.org/oldmainline/oml5.htm#csx_736

    First solid freeze at my station near BWI. The 13th briefly touched freezing and froze only some garden annuals here. Too bad the airport fixed their Mr Freeze sensor, think of all the snow/ip/zr they would have otherwise had!
  20. LongRanger
    the rare early morning tstorm in late November, must have happened before, but I can't recall when
  21. LongRanger
    at 9 pm we're already down to tonight's projected min and the sky overhead is still clear...
  22. LongRanger
    32, which was 2 degrees lower than BWI, and which represents a return to the historical station difference. Maybe Mr Freeze has finally left the airport. Some plants froze here, others not, which is the way I confirm the sensor is properly calibrated.
  23. LongRanger
    BWI's max was 5 degrees above forecast, which tells me tonight's forecasted min of 30 is also too low, so garden annuals might survive the night. Well, except those near BWI's Mr. Freeze temp sensor.
  24. LongRanger
    up to 0.02 near BWI, build an ark!

    At the pond, a few lonely, confused peepers are acting like spring has arrived.
