  1. lol yes - sometimes i wonder what happened to posters WAYY back. I think it was a poster named "rainstorm" (source of the "angle of the cold" comment) who was horrible
  2. yeah they are maybe more like big hills there - the Blue Ridge higher elevations you don't really start hitting until closer to I-64 and points south (5-6k feet in SW VA and W NC).
  3. yeah - i also lived in NYC for most of the 2010s, and they have their own crop of crazy posters (and good ones). As far as I know, there are still some really solid posters from there (Don S, etc).
  4. lol - if you take Route 50 or I-66 you clearly go over mountains.
  5. LOL I definitely relate to this. I mean sure I love it during the storm, and seeing my girls experience the snow was great. But it quickly becomes a serious nuisance to the point of being disruptive. I don't have much patience for the cold and snow anymore.
  6. yeah I think this is a good point - that plus Twitter and other platforms (medium/substack etc) have created multiple avenues for mets to reach folks in a much broader way than on here. nothing beats this place during a storm though. i haven't been on here as much (two kids + the fact we haven't had winter for a couple years lol), but who has stopped posting regularly in terms of professional mets? I don't see Wes. Does HM still post?
  7. he might know his stuff but he still has the maturity of a young 20-something
  8. welp here we go again. 24F at 10pm at DCA. 22F record looks well within reach, despite the wind direction. I've been going back and forth between 25 and 27 downtown, as the wind direction for me pulls air right off the of the rest of downtown.
  9. Probably stuck on a Northeast Regional train somewhere between Wilmington and Baltimore.
  10. lol winds at DCA have flipped to E /ESE .
  11. 26F at 11am at DCA - I still think we stay below freezing.
  12. That might be the last time DCA got below 10? I'd have to check
  13. NYC (15F at Central Park and 18F at LGA) and BOS (8F) got colder, obviously. But not too long ago a straight shot of arctic air coming over snow-cover would push NYC below 10 and BOS near zero.
  14. It feels like even a few years ago an airmass like this would push everyone down into the teens if not single digits, even in the urban areas. They just don't have the same punch they used to...
  15. Calm winds actually don't do anything except keep the temp mostly steady - we don't have radiational cooling in the middle of the city. You need a north wind bringing in the cold to really drop at night.
  16. 28F at midnight at DCA - gonna be difficult.
  17. My temp drop has kinda stalled out downtown - hanging tight around 28F.
  18. Caps seem to always completely forget how to play about this time of year.
  19. The NAM is being run from Elon Musk's Tesla which is en route to Mars.
