North Balti Zen

It is. It’s bad for up my way.

As always

@NorthArlington101 Um...you sure about that?

Just came out of a meeting and...I approve of what just ran from the ICON/GFS/GEM - well done all. You all get gold stars for the day.

Are you asking specific to modeling for this storm or is that a general question?

sigh. It is really pretty funny how we can't break that cap and have not for years and years now. Side note, when tracker (bless his heart) always types about how things always adjust north at the last minute...well...no? Has not been the case for awhile now - at least with respect to our area. Maybe this time, but, the pacman wall has done dirty work on us for a long time now. Jan. 2022 was beyond infuriating.

Seconded

No?

You can leave for vacation anytime now…

Years and years of this crap now up this way, it’s so tiring to see unfold over and over again.

That’s fucking awful.

YUP . ITS ALMOST HILARIOUS NOW

That would fit the six year drought of non-winter storm warning level events we are working on up this way, so, sure. I think I am permanently scarred from the January 2022 horror-show miss up this way...

Re: the Bourbon street attack - that is just so soul-crushing. That was literally where I just was for two of the three Billy Strings New Orleans shows - couldn’t make the NYE show because had to be back, so flew home yesterday. Our hotel was four blocks from where it happened. We literally spent large parts of Sunday snd especially Monday exploring the French quarter and met so many cool strangers (wearing a billy strings concert shirt when they are in a town is a cheat code to quick friendships) - and between the concert goers, the Georgia and notre dame fans, and general NYE attendees, the vibe and mood was immaculate. Just devastating to wake up to. I am so worried for some of the crew we met who were staying much closer to where it happened - the interval between when the NYE concert ended and when the attack occurred was two hours, enough time for folks to make their way back from the venue to the Quarter. as always, so senseless. Just soul renderingly sad for me to process, everything is so fresh from what had been two pretty magical days. I hope the people we met are ok. So devastated for the lives torn apart. sorry to be a bummer on new years morning, but this news hit me like an anvil to the face.

Right, I genuinely hope this thing comes north to give me a foot and you get sleet.

Correct, were I Ji 6z gfs is a complete disaster why does anyone do this stupid hobby…

Thanks as always for taking the time to drop your expertise here, millville- and happy new year to you too!

The northern Maryland crew stands with Mitch’s notes on the ukie…

Supposed to be landing at 3:30 at bwi - let’s hold off whatever line until a few hours after that.

Gross eta - for those of us to the north - that’s how we have gone since 2019 without a warning level event - Jan 2022 when that particular stripe got 6-11 inches we got a dusting. but, sure, hope it goes down just like that, rooting for you all.

All I know is the best dirty talk on this board is the filthy dirty talk from our esteemed mets - this is hawt “One of the things I like about these setups is that stronger 850-700mb FGEN on the northern periphery of the precip due to that confluent feature over the Northeast. There tends to be multiple banding structures within the FGEN schemes, typically 7H FGEN located north and 85H located a bit further south. We've had cases of this in the past that over performed, especially within that northern 7H FGEN band.”

A gag, I think - but perhaps he has time to tour with them for a bit

Just got back to hotel. Absolute fire show. They broke out Edmund Fitzgerald - only second time ever (first was in Germany). here was the set list - https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/billy-strings/2024/kiefer-uno-lakefront-arena-new-orleans-la-1b558180.html it all ruled - but absolute highlights were -Pretty Daughter -Mire -Fitzgerald -Red Daisy -Taking Water Really pumped to see what they break out for night two, tomorrow night - already dreading what I will miss because I can’t stay for the third night ender on NYE (but grateful as hell for getting to see nights one and two…)

Was gonna mention the nice weather in New Orleans today (here for two nights of Billy Strings) but…I think it was a hair warmer for you all back home…

Nope - nice events - but neither quite warning level up this way.
