Could someone post?

So basically it's just a bad track that screws us in what would otherwise be a decent area of opportunity?...(what's going on up top to cause that, and is there any chance it could recover?)

Accurate, lol I mean that's pretty much where we've been since the blizzard of 2016! (which, ironically, came about a week after he signed that dang contract!)

Hope we can get a surprise tomorrow...because it looks like it's gonna be awhile after this, smh

Yeah I was wondering why he said "the last two years" when the last half of 2019 appears to be the actual solar minimum?

Yeah and getting back-to-back-to-back 30+" seasons was kinda rare too, lol (although some, for some strange reason, like to discount 2016 because it all came at once!). So this snow "drought" really isn't anything major by historical standards!

I knew somebody was gonna come back with a cynical batting analogy, lol But think about it...after hitting the equivalent of 5 homers in 2010--but then, look how long it was in between then and 2014! Then boom, boom, boom...three above average winters in a row (with 2016 being a single homer that was a grand slam, lol). So now, here we are, 4 years later...and all it takes is one homerun (we've been here before) I make the argument that there are other periods in our history where snow lovers could be (and probably were) quite cynical, fearing "oh, it may never snow again" (like the early to mid-70s), and then boom. 1977-78, and 1978-79. Then a big one in 1983. Then a layoff...1986-87. Etc...And the most recent trend is not going more than 4 years without getting a foot. Does that 100% guarantee anything? Not necessarily...but it is the most recent trend, so I'll ride with it unless it breaks! Point is...we've been here before!

Mercy this forum is somethin' else, lol What we need is swings right now...this weekend is one swing--maybe we get a single at best. Next weekend is perhaps another swing yet to be determined. See, I think my relative calm about this winter may be a bit illogical...because I believe in the every 3-4 trend saying BWI is due for a footer this year (and all it would take is for one of the opportunities to come together a la Jan. 2000. Would love for it to be next weekend because we're nice and cold for most of next week. But I'm trying not to put all the eggs in that basket!)

Starting to wonder if day 9 sneaks up in the medium range...

Well thankfully this is just day 10 and we don't have to overanalyze it!

How is that even possible, lol

Ah so the speed of this onebseems to be the determine factor? (so we want faster not slower?)

Lol...I was just asking because I've had to shift through weekend posts to look for posts about how things up top were lookin' beyond that! (Not looking past this threat, though...but I am looking for anymore potential in the pipeline!)

Err...is it time to make a separate thread for this?...

What, garbage time? Smh....I feel sorry for him: now he'll receive a lot of disrespect for this despite what he did in the regular season.

So it turns out...the 65+ degree home playoff game on a Saturday really IS a bad combination. Ravens are likely 0-3 when this rare combo happens. The weather was probably a predictor of this game...

Yep...and you could sense the morale diminishing after that interception too.

Oh yeah that dude is fast alright...I know the Ravens had some trouble with him. We contained but didn't stop, lol

I've been wondering if it'll end up like this: either both one seeds win or both lose today. Based on history of the few times 6 seeds have beaten one seeds in the divisional rpund in the last 20 years...it seems to happen in pairs--whatever direction it goes!

A 70° day in the middle of winter just feels different from the summer somehow...It's like, mild, but yet you can always smell winter in the air, lol

Nah I think I'll make it more vague and say "WDI" or "Every 3-4 years..."

I continue to believe in the every 3-4 year trend for 12-14" BWI snowstorms, so...lol If it pops up in a week or two (or in February) and becomes a legit threat, PLEASE let me start the thread!

Man I despise that emoji, lol Why man? Ain't the setup after that what we're focusing on more anyway? And could you elaborate a bit on what you mean by "wants no parts of it" (imo it does make it a bit confusing when people will say things like that without saying exactly what--we folk without full EURO access rely on you guys' descriptions!)

Yeah that's why I don't quite understand where @Albedoman(cool username, btw) is getting that from. This is one of the best regional forums on this site for knowledgeable weather analysis! And really, it seems that there's no fear of challenging one another here...more than capable of having discussions. I admire you guy's knowledge and experience and am learning a lot from all of you. To quote Wiggum...just my $.02

Ya know...I'm still willing to stake a hope on us getting a 12-14" this year...I'm riding that all the way. It'll be 4 years since the 2016 blizzard...and BWI hasnt gone more than 4 years without seeing a foot since 1988-1992! Here's to hoping the trend is still alive! (In which case, we're due!) (I'm even tempted to start a thread about it...except I won't call it a specific storm so as not to confuse those that lurk on here. But rather, I'd call it..."Every 3-4 years..." and keep it that way unless/until such a storm is firmly on the radar! )
