Lol it’s been like that to a tee so far, though looks like more active weather coming up. This winter really seems like a roll of the dice. One thing I can say is that aside from Ida (not that I was rooting for the damage it caused) it really hasn’t been a very exciting weather year, imo. I’m ready for something to track.

Edit: I should say large scale weather…there were a few healthy storms over the summer.

While have a hard time believing a nina can be a roll of the dice (unless it's all the sides say "sucks", lol)...I guess any period of cold+ storminess can be worth tracking to see if we can get a few crumbs from something that passes north!

And yeah we have been lacking a bit in excitement this year...though severe season did have some nice moments (at least imby).

Side note: I was a bit confused about why the hurricane season ended so abruptly given the nina state...

1) It’s not even met winter yet but the crying has already started.

2) our winter in this region aligns much more with astronomical winter than it does with met winter

1) I sure would like to know how you think people SHOULD act--especially in the most predictable ENSO state for the region.

2) That is true...history bears that out. And even in our best winters, mid Jan--President's Day (and occasionally early March) are the peak times.

Either way, I would like a pattern switch with a more active southern stream for the sake of change

Uh...dude? It is a nina after all! Southern stream doesn't exist in these, lol

Who’s ready to hit the panic button on November 29

How about the tacit resignation button? I think I pressed that in August, lol

I have a moving truck for Dec. 8 so ixnay on the snow-ay for that period, thanks.

ixnay? Lol

While I don't quite remember the details of the 2000 Ravens games...from what I've heard ya saw a lot of first half scores that looked like this, lol

Glad my shade got some results but still they’re allergic to first half TDs

Was literally just saying this...the end zone must give off pollen in the first half...lol

@nw baltimore wx is not in Baltimore City and in marginal events does better than you. 

Well then...allll by myself...

lol - by the time I tossed on a coat and got the dog leashed - it had either stopped or turned to more like mist. I hate living in this part of the area.  I am so glad I am 12 days from moving to Hereford Zone. 

Ah lucky! Dang it you're out of the Baltimore City clan...be gone  @nw baltimore wxguess it's just you, me, and maybe one other...lol (as far as people who post, anyway)

Flurries! Flurries!! First flakes of the season

For some reason I initially read "Big Stratwarm" as "Big Strawman"!!  Maybe that's more appropriate! 

Was about to say...it fits! Lol Tbh I'm not convinced the strat warm really does anything...I mean, has it in the past?

Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving, now onto the holidays. Can’t wait for our 70 degree Christmas. 

Are you really thankful?...

Wishing all of you a happy and blessed Thanksgiving!

Maybe it's confirmation bias but it seems like there is ALWAYS a MA snowstorm in the ~240hr range on the models.  Is there some sort of technical reason for this?  Like some sort of amplification or feedback that is inherently built into the models?  Anybody have a clue?    

Yeah I'd like to know the same thing!

North is always the huge risk with these clippers. But there’s a lot of vorts flying around so I’d just take each run as entertainment until Thursday-Friday at least. 

Has been awhile since we got one though! WDI for clippers?

Wow. Tyler Huntley game ball

I was about to turn it off then I was like wth. Crazy.

After Dalton burned us again I just knew it was over...and then Huntley hit Sammy deep inside the 5 and I was like 

I'll admit that when I heard Lamar was out I had kinda written this game off! And then faith and favor once again came in and we pull off yet another improbable victory. I'm telling ya there's something with this team!

Big plays have killed then all year. They played pretty solid overall but for 2 big plays. Sort of like the dolphins game. 
 

Opponents get tough now. Going to find out how flukey the 7-3 record is real soon. 

Yes December is gonna be pivotal. Very interested to see if we heat up in December--as Harbaugh teams tend to do (heck even just last year...took a 5-game winning streak into the postseason!) And of course 2012 also had moments like today (i.e. 4th and 29, lol)...but I don't think the wins were THIS crazy, haha So...is the 7-3 start flukey...or "meant to be"? We shall see!

8 minutes ago, CAPE said:

Apparently something was going around among other players on the team this week- flu maybe? but none of them are missing the game.

Then ya gotta wonder if whatever underlying issue he may have may acted up with the cold...I mean he sure seemed fine in the presser on Friday, but...

No Hollywood either today. Hopefully they can run it a little. Defense needs to have a big game. They sure are due.

Except...they'll have to do it without Anthony Averett (and Jimmy Smith fwiw)...sheesh. It's been wack-a-mole...we get Mekari and Boyle back but then other folks are out! Sheesh

No Lamar today- non COVID related illness. Well, he already had that twice.

For a world class athlete, he sure gets sick a lot.

I think he may have a chronic condition they're not disclosing (that's his business, of course). But most of the time you'd see him miss a day or two and then he'd be good to go (and usually light it up that Sunday...lol In fact I think the famous spin move came the Sunday after he'd had one of his bouts of whatever it is he gets)

Now sure we win today (not confident in Huntley if things are close...he just doesn't have the experience!). But thankfully we have a little room...I think the miracle wins we've had are happening for a reason!

Yep. And once again it appears the cold air will trapped on the other side of the hemisphere early this winter. I hope that isnt a sign of things to come in the future. 

I never did understand this...folks said it last year but I never understood what was meant by "trapped on the other side". Trapped by what? (I'm not sure I can Google this, or even what TO Google, so someone kindly help me out here)

I gotta say, I was expecting a bad fall color season due to the prolonged warmth and a misguided sense of what the cicada cycle might do to the canopy but...it has been delayed but pretty generally awesome nevertheless in the Baltimore area. 

Yes very much so! Was not expecting this (woulda planned the Fall drive later this year...last year we went too soon, lol Foliage can be a little unpredictable, no?)

Dolphins D is legit. But Ravens really struggled to figure things out tonight. Not sure what to make of it.

Yeah I was surprised by it too! (and so were the Ravens, I'm guessing, lol). Especially that D-line...I mean yeah our O-line has had issues, but that was still another level!

Ravens will be OK

Not seeing any strong indications of a -NAO on the ensembles in the LR. That was just a random op run and thus the weenie post for the ridiculously anomalous h5 heights it was depicting. A look like that would be a waste at that time anyway. Mid to late Dec maybe. Not really paid much attention to what the climate/seasonals have been advertising for Dec lately.

Makes last year more frustrating...wasted a perfectly good -NAO! Sheesh...
