    first class wx pr0n, just don't look at the ugly upper air progs

    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.

    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!

    the rare early morning tstorm in late November, must have happened before, but I can't recall when
  11. LongRanger
    at 9 pm we're already down to tonight's projected min and the sky overhead is still clear...
  12. 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.
  13. 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.

    up to 0.02 near BWI, build an ark!

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

    By now it seems 09-10 must have been a dream. Nina? Pinta? Heck, I'm praying to Santa María.

    we're all thinking it, so I'll be the first to post BWI: 0.0 DCA: 0.0 IAD: 0.0 RIC: 0.0 Tiebreaker (SBY): 0

    BWI again 4 degrees colder than my station. For decades, my station's daily mins have routinely been 1 to 2 degrees colder than BWI. That all changed suddenly when Mr Freeze took up residence at BWI this month.
  19. LongRanger
    74 after a 41 min here, which translates at BWI to 78 after a min of 12. Two weeks of rain each day, followed by two weeks of near-cloudless skies.
  20. LongRanger
    BWI has been about 5 degrees colder than MBY, and MBY is several hundred feet higher in elevation. Only way I see that actually happening is during calm winds for most/all of the night, which has not been the case lately. Something is goofy with the recent BWI temps.
  21. LongRanger
    There's more dryness under trees because less dew forms there overnight compared to uncovered areas where more radiational cooling can occur.
  22. LongRanger
    Today demolished the multi-decade record for consecutive days with increasing daily minimum temp at my station. The old count (prior to this stretch) was 5, the new count is 8. I do not expect to ever see a longer such stretch here.
  23. LongRanger
    Since a low of 52 at my station Aug 21, the daily min has ticked up for 6 consecutive days. I don't believe I've ever seen that happen before across decades of observations. If tonight's forecast is correct, that will bump to 7 consecutive.
  24. LongRanger
    The down side is clean air lets in more light, which means more global warming. https://skepticalscience.com/global-cooling-mid-20th-century-advanced.htm

    What's with BWI's hourly temp obs always being a whole number, or ending in .1 or .9? https://forecast.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KBWI.html
