Then use Noah's Ark...think that held up pretty well

It didn't stop dude...even on the Op run you see waves continuing to come from the SS but as the cold flexes they're just a bit suppressed for a little bit. No Niño winter is gonna be non-stop perfect cold boundary. It flexes and relaxes, right? And this is the first real flex of cold that we've had. I think the waves will continue to be there (but hey, what do I know, lol)

That's the biggest positive here. Even if next Tues. doesn't quite work out...it's definitely cold (and not just passing weekend cold like we got last year, lol). With an active STJ, you'd think the historically typical 2nd half niño potential is gonna be there.

The way we've been going lately, most of the 12z suites have been real Nutcrackers...

BCPS Closing 3 hours early! (As I went to play at a school and had to turn right back around, lol)

Now see, I was due at the school in Balt Co. I play for at 9:30. Of course the decision to close 3 hours earlt comes down 8 minutes before that when I already drove there....man I knew that was gonna happen Wasted trip (although I did have another brief errand in the area)...ah well, I'm going home and going back to bed, lol

Just saw that a little while ago and was kinda surprised! Wonder if they'll dismiss early (this would be a random day where it would affect as I'm supposed to play for one of the schools and they're doing a feeder tour thing, lol)

Real question: What good are the weeklies? Isn't that like...impossibly far out?

BEETHOVEN

This. Simple but deep...I think that's a prevailing problem here (myself included). It did get me thinking about why positivity has to be as difficult as it is...although some people seem to be hardwired in the other direction and are eternal optimists by nature, lol

Yeah we know DANG well it wasn't last year, lolol

Nah we played that game in Dec 2018...never made it up here, lol

Why do you do this, lol

Yeah I was just speaking to the team as a whole. Huntley + wet ball fumbles are the only reason we lost. But the energy was the same--they didn't play like it didn't mean anything. But no Lamar, no offense, lol And yes...as long as Lamar stays healthy in the playoffs...you never know

This is actually fantastic advice--like seriously. Because if you do, you start dreaming and envisioning, suddenly it's like it's like it's happening. Hence, when the models focus in, if it doesn't happen, it feels like it was "taken away"...when ya never really had it, lol

Love how the Ravens are keeping up the intensity even in a game where we're resting some players! It may not seem like a big thing, but it speaks volumes about the mentality and focus. Love it!

Keep seeing some say the south may see a snow event before we do. And looking at those maps wouldn't that be more suppressive? (For that week, at least) Man if NC gets a snow event before we do...*screams into pillow* Still have snow ptsd from Dec 2018 (though that was a little bad luck, lol) If it happens it would kinda make sense...as someone posted earlier...we do better on the relax.

You a warmista, Chuck?

You have folks here who were ungrateful for the Jan 2016 blizzard just because it was a one and done winter. I don't get that...but to each their own! That being said, given how bad things have been, I am growing to appreciate said nickel and dime events when they come (and going forward, in la ninas I think we need to appreciate them more given how bad things can get in a nina). But ask me my preference? BIG DOG...like, that's not even a question!

So let me get this straight...despite alllll the snow drought we've had the past 7-8 years, you're still gonna be picky if we get a big storm? Maaan get outta here with that, lol

Yep...that would be an absolute troll job! But it is 7 days away...if it looks like this now only way it can look worse is all rain! Maybe it gets better who knows, lol But the period I'm more interested in is after that as our historically prime climo window opens...no matter what, that window (mid Jan-President's day) will be put up or shut up time, lol

Nah not playing that game two weeks in a row, lol (Actually I didn't play the game this week either!) Now if it's modeled more under us on Wednesday then we can talk!

Gonna pull a you and say: I'm not saying it won't snow again. It just...may be more difficult. All the discussion boils down to that, really.

Pws?

So it's warming. We don't have to dance around it...Now of course, we don't actually know how this winter pans out...so there's no conclusion to be had yet! But IF it doesn't work out we'll know. Like, can't we all just get to a space where we acknowledge the possibility of the effect on our climo? Yeah it might be climate...there. Out in the open, no elephants...if this is where we are we're gonna have to find a way to deal with it. No amount of denial is gonna change it. All that being said...at least for now we still have our best shot in this niño, and it may be better not to torture ourselves in the short term until we see how this season goes
