Why doesn't somebody just throw the useless models in the digital trash bin? Lol
-
Oh heck no....the only reason I can look past that mega torch is because of the compensation we got for it the next month, lol
-
Remember the late 2017 30-hour blizzard that popped up in fantasy range? Lol
-
But again, is this really so far from what we normally see? To me, punting late December has been pretty much the norm for the last 7 or 8 years, right? (and even historically we seemed to have to punt that part of the month more!)
-
Hey guys it's Beethoven's birthday today! Happy birthday @stormtracker, lol
-
A microscopic ruler...and measure it in milliest of meters...lol
-
Same here in Balt. city...been stuck at 37 for well over an hour Edit: Dropped a degree as I said that, lol
-
Down to 39 here in the city...
-
Ya don't say...alright I learned something, lol (but still it doesn't seem to happen too often) I guess it's only the big ticket storms like what's on this list:
-
So if it were to go down like this...all of this would be because of the pac or something else?
-
I wouldn't punt to the last week, but I'd punt to the middle of the month after the weekend threat...because of history alone! Only once in 140 years of records did the cities get a major storm (warning level at least) between Dec. 25th and mid-January: and that was January 1996. So it doesn't usually happen for the corridor, lol
-
As I've been saying...that is essentially our best window during the window. Jan 15th-Feb 20th (for warning level events we don't get many before mid-January unless we get it before Christmas (rare). And we don't get any the last week of February for some reason either, lol I daresay we've gotten more snow in the first week or two of March than December...lol But that could be wrong (I'd like to check the numbers on that)
-
So we got snow, whiff, or rain on the table...time to play wheel. of. solutions! (now, of the two fail solutions, which one is more a possibility? Are things moving away from a rain solution, or is it still pretty even?)
-
Bob, it's the last week of December...so that's almost guaranteed to happen that week, lol (doesn't snow significantly during that week or the next around here!)
-
And therein lie the crux of snow life in the Mid-Atlantic...Yes, the way we can sometimes go 50 shades of bust can be frustrating and outright gut-wrenching. And yet...does that actually make the snow even sweeter when it hits? Would we feel the same way if we got snow all the time?....I've always wondered how I'd react to getting an average of 70-100"+ every year, lol I'm not entirely sure! It's just different when it happens down here...
-
Ah that explains it (sorry I can't see people's location tags on the mobile version, lol) Was about to say...6 inches doesn't happen on the last week of December in the cities! Haha
-
We did? What was it, a few flurries or a dusting? Lol
-
Hey @Bob Chill (or somebody else who may know)...I'm trying to remember...was the awful Dec 2010 nina-induced miss the last time we didn't have to deal with a hostile pac to end the month?
-
And again, why does it keep going bad in mid/late December every single year? Smh Can we just assume it'll do that every mid/late December from here on?
-
Yeah what's up with the 18z runs often appearing to look "better" anyway? Why does that happen?
-
Yeah, yeah I gotcha...I just don't wanna see that alleged 10% get even lower for whatever reason. There's a reason we only get 2 footers every 6-7 years and 1 footers every 3-4 years (that second one I'm starting to hang my hat on...no matter what weather chaos has ensued, that's repeated itself, lol) Overall...it's like, you know how hard it can be to get snow here. You kinda expect it...but it still sucks when it misses even if you could see it coming.
-
Can I vent about the hostile pac in here? Lol Seriously, of all the atmospheric obstacles we've had since 2016, I think that has frustrated me the most. Why can't it just get right???? (this ain't no possible climate change crap is it? If so, we're gonna have problems) crap Dang you PAC ...DANG YOU!
-
But we were never in the game for anything more than a thump o front end mix, right? Lol
-
Man just the thought of that happening two years in a row...*rips hair out* Thankfully it's a far away fantasy as of now, lol
-
Well, one thing we can bet on around here...it absolutely will not snow significantly (like more than a couple inches) the day after Christmas...nor the rest of the days until mid-January, lol It's a strange quirk, really...January 9th was the earliest--and that was the highly anomalous 1995/96 winter. But other wise? All others fell between Jan 14th and February 20th...So I never look for anything just after Christmas, or New Year's--always tends to fail the most during that period for whatever reason!
