I was about to say...the only time wind is worth getting somewhat excited about is when it does things like this...lol While it was still a bit bittersweet because it came from a NE, Miller B-ish blizzard that just missed us, to have a pure wind event like that was pretty incredible (and somewhat anomalous, no?)

While we're at it, could ya explain the whole cutter turning 50/50 low thing? I never have quite understood how that worked...(although I'm guessing a bunch of those lows to the north is one way it DOESN'T work...lol)

Eh, PD weekend period not lookin' so good...Looks like the never-ending parade of NS vorts scour out any cold the big cutter leaves behind.

Actually kinda surprised the snow-conservative Tasselmeyer tweeted the more robust model...maybe it's happening!

Following the winter trend...oof

And the fact that's newsworthy says how dry it's been, lol

A positive northwest shift inside 48...thought that was a unicorn, lol

For us mid-lowlanders that is...lowlander-lowlanders got 30"

Yeah that doesn't look right...but eh, we'll see.

Or sniffs glue out early...we'll find out which one

The nickname for this winter...lol

Seeing as the GFS kinda trended towards them...maybe it is a trend (hopefully)

Won't believe it unless it continues at 0z and 12z tomorrow, lol

Oof...Another annoying reminder of how much my yard has been skunked...really that mean could go all the way back to 2017, lol

No...CHARGE!!!!

Ugh...so close!!! I swear there's been an imaginary brick wall at Baltimore, lol

You'd think there's some kind of quota they try to fill each year, smh

I wouldn't say LONG overdue...don't forget DC south got the slider in 2019 that gave them a foot! 2018 the beaches had the bomb cyclone

Miraculously it got it right for once, lol

Yeah nina cheese will do that to ya...

It was having problems on 18z too...might be an issue

Well yeah I pretty much knew that...but still annoying, lol

I swear somebody is pullin' the strings on that thing just to troll weenies, lol

That's a little over 3x what I got, lolol

Yep...I know folks say that "oh that's just climo", and while it is true that we've had mediocre stretches, this is the longest since the time between 1988 and 1993. Our other stretches since then were are at least slightly broken up by a great event (i.e. Jan 25, 2000, Feb. 2006). So this has been kinda bad even for our climo. Now, I blame that partly on the fact that 4 of the last 6 winters have been ninas, and in none of those were we able to fluke our way into even a single warning-level event. I don't care what the official numbers say...Ninas SUCK. They can deceive in the snow records by farting out enough penny and nickel events to not be total shutouts and even get to median. But they remain the most difficult ENSO state for any higher-than-advisory level snowfall for Baltimore. And this season we've seen thar even with an unusual stj, it hasn't been enough most of the time! Nown the older heads here have more of a frame of reference for what we've seen: the period between 1970 and 1978, lol An extended stretch of mediocrity also brought to you by 4 la ninas...along with a Super niño (72-73) that was so strong it overwhelmed everything! But us youngins' ain't got that reference, lol I mean, the good news is...this winter has shown that we can still get arctic cold, and certainly enough cold to snow. You'd hope if we can get a Niño to work we can have a better shot at something deeper!
