North Balti Zen

We've missed forecast high temps for weeks. We were more than due to overshoot - especially with sun available.

Full sun is MOST welcome for me anyway to start the day. Happy with 50s too. Need a mental weather reset after too many days of cold and gray with no snow.

I really want to see something overperform in terms of precip at some point - would feel a lot better about any future snow hopes if we could see something juice up and hit at gametime - so let’s start that this weekend I say.

BWI at 2" indeed not gonna add to this list of shame but not a robust start. DCA at 1.5" is almost clear of a top 5 dead-ratter. IAC at 2.1" though...should be safe obviously but still work to do.

I was here in January 2010. Pepperidge Farm remembers. So do I.

That’s not remotely true.

As usual, neutral perspective from me as a Bengals fan - My main takeaway is pretty genuine befuddlement that Harbaugh, who is a special teams oriented head coach by background, knowing precisely how tricky kicking in Pittsburgh is late in the year in the cold and especially when the winds are a factor, and who watched an outstanding kicker in Chris Boswell just not ten minutes prior push an extra point wide, looked at a 41-yard field goal attempt with 12 seconds and a timeout left and chose to lose three yards on a kneel down rather than try to get five or ten yards closer. He had a rookie kicker, every yard closer would have helped mentally at the least, and maybe helped with wind. In any event, clearly Loop didn't hit it right as it was a miss from the jump but holy hell that was not a great coaching decision to settle for a 44-yard attempt rather than try and shorten it given the timeout in hand.

All obs this year for me are from Fallston, MD - 11/30 - T 12/2 - A little frz rain to start - trees and car glazed - but 35 and rain for most of event 12/5 - T (dusting from a few hours of flurries as dry cold death air ate any chance of anything else north of BWI 12/14 - 4” 1/2 - .2" (frontal passage snow squall dealie) Running season total - 4.2”

Did the thing in Fallston about 5:15 am - just took the dogs out - looks like .2 or so - ground is covered.

Happy new year all, grateful for this community.

Going snow tubing on New Year’s Day at 12:30 pm at Roundtop - if you all wanna swing some of those snow showers/squally things through there early afternoon I would be much obliged…

Omg. No. NO. Brady is fucking awful. AWFUL. This is the worst opinion anyone has ever had. I award you no points and may god have mercy on your soul.

A cool as hell thing for me anyway - there is an eagle who clearly has a nest quite close by the farm - seeing him/her several times a week now - just a stunner living in this proximity to an eagle - hopefully will never get used to seeing it in flight. Stunning.

Can we name the thread something else… (The lambs are still screaming )

What seems to never miss on the short term modeling and forecasts are high winds. Definitely confirmed for today. Yeesh - my 22-story office bldg is shaking from the gusts - very noticeble up on 20th floor anyway...

I feel like "winter is canceled" posts based on one day 15 run of an op followed by days of models showing winter is not canceled should yield a one-month ban for those making such posts...

Was 12 when I left the house in Fallston at 8 am.

Light snow on my drive home through Jacksonville toward Fallston

Just got back and measured in a few spots protected from the wind and sun and would put it at 4” at my spot in Fallston.

@Interstate how did it do our way? Probably gonna use you for measurement for me up the road - just looked out the window where I am in south Orange, NJ and it is coming down hard up here - it’s a few degrees colder than back home and that clearly helped up this way.

Up in NYC since last night for holiday lights and a show with Beth and the kids and haven’t been following the models today - but the WWA up here just upped to 3” - 5” up to 6” for this area.

Um, no? Most of us know, but watching areas well to the south cash in several times while T - .2" are what we have seen in the northern areas as the reality kinda blows. I don't know why up here we would be "spoiled with this pattern". This pattern has been rather shite for many of us. Cold, dry, windy.

Winds notable overnight and some flurries in Fallston this AM .

The Os signed Alonso??!! That's a big boy grown-up-team signing in free agency.
