I wanted to apologize to you here. I am truly, truly sorry and I didn't realize how that sounded (wish I had realized it earlier. I feel absolutely awful for all the times I did it the last few years not realizing how it sounded and how you would feel about it. Man if had realized that earlier! In my rather quirky sense of humor I jokingly saw ya as a "mother" of this forum for whatever reason. But I see how that nickname is inappropriate and I do apologize for that and respect you as a moderator and as a human being. I pray you have a blessed day. --Maestro

I'm actually curious about the pattern starting next weekend...can we get a 7-10 days of decent cold? Still looks split-flowy to end the month and the start of February...

"Be safe, think snow!" Haha Love it!

That is both awesome and really, really pathetic (that you needed to to do it in the first place). Snowmakers in MD--that's when you know the current level of our desperation, lol

Yeah it did...just not on TT, lol

Dang I forgot all about that, lol What show was that again?

Same. Folks should put the two eaves next week on ignore, lol

If we can have a stretch like 2013/14-2015/16 I'm not sure it'll matter whether it makes this stretch look worse, lol This will always be the worst period in our snow climo...and if things don't turn around I think it'll look even worse (I mean we just did 1.2" three years ago...I do hope we can avoid that this year...but who frickin' knows?)

@psuhoffman Your last post...are you saying the arctic (the cold air source) just ain't cold? Lol

Translation: The arctic isn't cold enough, lol (we should really move this though...we're about to step over the line)

Not based on that...and that's out in fantasy range anyway. Now if it still looks like that 4 days from now then nah. Just a hunch that's all, lol If we gonna get on the board it'll happen late Jan or early Feb.

That neither wave next week is gonna work out didn't surprise me...I mean they were low probability from the start and I largely ignored them save 12z yesterday when there was a slight hiccup. Now what would be more disappointing is if we can't manage to pull off flakes of some kind the following weekend. That's the period I've been kinda keyed in on since last week...I mean maybe it'll be persistence again, maybe not. We haven't seen the setup look quite like that either and we have a little more cold to the north. So be it by a little piece of energy or something more...it's worth watching (nothin' to lose, lol) And even after that let's just see where it goes...

Forced what now? Lol

Yeah man don't fall for that, lol This is why I'm pretty much ignoring both of those waves! I'm hoping we can try to get something behind them

I needed this news, lol Not anything personal against the dude...but I am relieved that he's moving on!

Me thinks there's a slight chance next weekend or maybe just beyond...whether it be what we'd like is anybody guess (sarcasm forbidden on this post )...but but me thinks precip could be around, and at least you'd have some sort cold nearby...

Man I don't care...The "it's a nina" argument doesn't quite explain having no slow even further up the east coast to this date. Even if we end up in a nina snow hole they always get something by now. That's niño behavior, imo...Some of the futility dates referenced here and elsewhere have linked back to niños, lol So this is just weird, imo (whatever it's worth, lol)

Which one? Shubert or Gounod?

Ava Marie is a meteorologist up here (local station in Baltimore)

Wait so they haven't been doing that every model run?

Yes...you wave winter goodbye You're not allowed to give up on your own storm 11-12 days away.

Yeah it looks like it's stirring something but gets the squash treatment this run. I'm interested to see what if anything happens after wave 2...

Not how the weenie brain works, lol No matter how torturous it may be, the urge to look for some sign (be it likely or remote) is just one of them things that's hard to resist. So even some of the most cynical and jaded can easily end up right back in here! honestly believe there's a certain addictive element to it.

Haha Thanks! And ohh yes, may the rest of the winter be like this: (notice how it starts off slow and then explodes...let us see if this winter can follow in like manner!)

Lol I'm telling ya checking model runs feels akin to a cig (never smoked but it feels like a certain addictive quality is at play here)
