North Balti Zen

12z Suite scorecard... ICON --- disaster (w/ bargaining over maybe its thermals are their usual trash) GFS ---- CMC === UKIE ---- EURO ----

That's the perfect description.

He's like the learned Ralph. A chill ran down my spine.

oh. GUM

guessing the north folks will note that is pretty fringy... eta --- like wentz passive aggressively just did...

I blame ralph for the GFS and Canadian. That was needless negativity from him.

Not you obviously . Not even Will. But when Ji gets to the point on these boards where he is affecting my mood with his shtik, he's gotta go. What's really disappointing is he knows better. A few years back he got the highest of compliments you can get around here when Wes noted that Ji has gotten to be really expert in reading and interpreting patterns, upper air maps, etc. He's one of the learned amateurs on here who could be so helpful. Instead, he just craps on everything in those threads. I don't get it anymore.

I've finally muted him. At some point it is way too much.

Current as of 1/26/21: BWI: 2.1" (Would be new 5th place if no more snow falls) DCA: 0.3" (3rd place worst if no more snow falls) IAD: 2.6" (currently tied for second worst if no more snow falls) The futility list:

12/16-17: 3.8" 1/26: .2" Season total 4.0"

Not for nothing, but some snow on the ground and a relatively cold week would be nice heading into a weekend where another chance of snow is possible. Would be nice to have some cold in situ as much as possible for a change.

Agreed. Absolutely no sense to kick the FG there.

I keep looking for a hidden camera in my house to see if my reaction to that is being filmed for Punk'd.

Me: <stares at EJ's posts in Bengals fan> <slowly shakes head>

Those posts make Ji's snow meltdowns seem rational.

And...still in the game for this thread. Sadly.

Lol. That was my exact measure. Stepped outside with the pup in shorts and immediately felt the difference.

First day that has felt like winter in weeks.

Given the Euro is one inch I am gonna go ahead and says that possibility is well covered and included in the range...

Very much a “we called it” situation...

So the range at my house five days out is about 1 inch (Euro) to 34 inches (GFS). Gotta give the models credit - that pretty much covers all bases...

Different rules for "hate to say it" in banter thread, water man, lol.

Once again, I am given to note that, when someone says "I hate to say it" in a model thread, they do NOT in fact, hate to say it...

Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams I looked at weather models alone Upon narrow monitors of plastic and chrome 'Neath the halo of a desktop lamp I turned my eyes to the virtual maps When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of snow hole so bright It split the night And touched the sound of silence And in the naked light, I saw Ten thousand snow weenies, maybe more People screaming endlessly People lurking w/ ensemble maps of doom People writing prayers about memories of something once called snow And no one dared Disturb the sound of silence "Fools", said I, "You do not know Hope for snow like a cancer grows" Hear PSU's words that he might teach you See Weather Will's maps of doom that he might reach you But my words, like silent 34 degree raindrops fell And echoed In the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed To the snowiest models that might have been made But those models flashed out their warning In the words that they were forming And the model output said, "The place for snow is ever 200 miles south or north And not in DMV halls" And whispered in the sound of silence

Seriously. Snow on snow on snow with each hit bigger than the last. Yes please.
