Yeah but this isn't the same thing as the last few years...the good pattern is practically right on top of us...not 15 days out in fantasy land. This time patience actually is warranted for the pattern to develop...

That has to be the most e=mc² cooking method I've ever heard, lol

When was the last time we even had PAC cooperation? Lol Seems like it's been forever! Is it just less cooperative in general than it used to be?

Huh? Wait, why? I wasn't saying that I thought that way...(at least not anymore)...but hypothesized about the psychological effect...

Ya know, I'm really starting to think that these snow maps are bad for the snow psyche...seriously (especially this far out). I think they can, subconsciously, create a false sense of reality. Some see 10 inches on the pretty snow map, and maybe there's a subconscious thought/feeling of "hey I actually HAVE 10 inches!), then you see 3 on the next run, and it's "oh no, it got taken away". It just makes level headed analysis on any threat or pattern more difficult, imo

It's not the same as the last several years, though...where we were always looking Day 10-15 just for improvement in the larger signals. This time around, the larger signals are moving up in time...and thus, better reason to actually start believing in potential that could be 2-3 weeks away...and promising signs of continuing potential beyond that. So this time we wait a little longer for the further development of a pattern that's already building...and start looking at legit chances!

Hey buddy that's my line! (and I'm ridin' that horse as far it goes too, lol)

Hilarious!!! But listen...we want the Steelers to get their act together next week...just saying, lol

Okay--thanks!

Very funny... Anyway I realize I shouldask read the rulebook before hand...seems I was just a tad late!

Which direction in relation to the moon do I look in?

This is typical Maryland weather can be a straight-up troll when comes to celestial events, smh

Wow! After what we had to deal with last winter...this is music to all of our ears! What an awesome 180 from the news ya had to deliver a year ago, lol Yes, I'm sure you'll say nothing is ever automatic...but just knowing that our snow chances improve--and with something that has been so elusive (the -AO) is very encouraging!

Or as Bob Chill once called it...the dumb angle, lol

Ah ha...my mom has told me about this, and I was about to mention it as a possible exception...I was born two days before that (Dec 24th), and she tells me she stayed in the hospital an extra day because of it, lol (so literally my first time outside there was snow on the ground! ) Where did you look up that record? Or did you just happen to remember?

Whenever it was it probably didn't happen down my way...don't have any record of that amount...but again, that would be awesome!

Indeed it has...2019 was a total troll with 4.8" being tallied, lol It has been almost 5 years...time for the WDI!

Ha, well I don't know who was saying that about the 3rd week of January...because if you look at our history that around the time when the money period starts! But yes, as WSW breakthrough would be nice!

Got no such thing here...total inches at BWI that December is 1.4"

I'd like to think 5" is a reasonable bar to consider something noteworthy. It's been my bar since I missed it by .2 inches in 2019, lol

I had the blizzard of '96 in mind...but I see I was off by a couple days--so Jan 6th! But I picked that date because that was the earliest in January we had ever gotten a big hit (I think)--kinda unusual (usually our hits come from mid-January through President's day, and the occasional March hit).

Not sure I wanna get sucked into this "potential"... Last week of December is a historically bad time for us to get good snow (more than a couple inches). If you look at our snow history...I don't recall seeing any dates between Dec 26th and Jan. 9th where we got WSW level stuff at BWI/DCA (anybody got any record on that?) I'm not sure whether it's just coincidence or what...but for some reason we don't seem to get warning level snows during that time period. Would love for this trend to suddenly break this year though...It's 2020, so why not? Lol

I'm disappointed that this cloud cover might cover up the Jupiter-Saturn thing tonight (and from the looks of it...tomorrow night too) hope we can get some miracle clearing... Baltimore/Maryland can have absolutely horrible timing with clouds and celestial events...sheesh.

Ya can't simplify this with "I don't like rap" (which btw is also suffering from the mediocrity bug. It was better even 15 years ago, lol). This is more general "pop music" If you want more specific terminology...okay: the newer artists, current artists, (as well as older ones who have sold out and watered down their music to sound more "current"), the more popular "sound" being produced...that's what we're talking about.

And that's where gotta have a little faith I cannot see us going through we've been through the last month, and taking care of business on our end, and it just ends like that. I think we'll have something go in our favor!
