North Balti Zen

My money is on miss East this time.

North of us? yes, that’s true.

We won’t up here but enjoy this again - nice that you got good early help on the temps , should be a really good winter event.

It has been super consistent for that group, yes. File it under “I definitely want to be in the bullseye on every run every time”…

Yes, cold very dry air is not a problem in northern Maryland.

Reading. What more is there to say? Congrats to the usual winners in the forum for getting to fully enjoy what we all love for the sixth year in a row while we get hosed.

Also, this discussion is why I laugh over the “you don’t want to be in the bullseye ___ days out posts” - my experience is that the general area that starts to get bullseyes repeatedly early enough in a threat cycle has the best chance at legit warning level SN+ for a time verifying at some point. bullseye my area on every run for every threat, please and thank you. Not been like that either for years and years up this way. For all the shit that certain cranks on this board give to models in the long range, as someone who reads in those threads way more than posts, the models are pretty fucking great at highlighting early on the areas most likely to be snowiest in a given period. And they’ve been pretty great at showing this area on the edge over and over again from range. This current storm threat they’ve been rock solid at that for at least a week.

I probably have nickel dimed to more than Fairfax a few times in the last seven years, but, for me, that is a full I don’t care. 17 one inch snows sucks compared to two 8 inch snows (for me anyway, others see that differently). i just want a legit snowstorm where my obs is ZOMGITSPOURINGSNOW - been a minute. my obs for years have been (squints) - “I think something is falling the grill is starting to turn white”.

But, speaking just for me, the frustration has been the years and years of no warning level snows. There is something awesome about SN+ falling over a period of hours and aldie, I promise you, we just can’t get that. Over and over again this area gets the post event analysis where a red tagger explains how the snow growth our way was off, why we got needles for 24 hours while it poured legit snow 15 miles away, or how the dry air couldn’t be overcome, or etc etc etc this isn’t the first time, more like the tenth time. And the frustration is that folks write “it always comes north” and , friend, it does not. i personally don’t give a shit who gets the most, I just want to once be in SN+ for three or four hours and hit half a foot. it has been a long time.

Less

Clearly !

It is genuinely hilarious at this point

Preach

whelp, there's bunch of us across the northern tier that would be quite happy if we get to a six-inch warning level storm...let's verify one of those for Mappy to me - to interstate - to the bel air crew to t.august But somehow these tend to go from pinks to struggling to get to four inches for our crew. Maybe this one will be different!

Yes, for her, but not for @Interstate ...

absolutely! And the First Watch there for breakfast. It's a good spot, I am pleased to have that lease. Good transition to the next phase for me.

Yeah, the new west unit build of the Avalon apartments - the ones back by One Life Fitness portion of the mall area.

it's true. all of it.

Turns out I am riding it out still Tuesday in Monkton - the curse game is back afoot.

That is acceptable.

Just caught up after five hours in a deposition...you all get gold stars. Every one of you. Except for that one new guy.

I think I will join a weather forum and ten days in tell people who have been on the forum for decades and are in many cases pros not to be excited because model runs may change. With my ground-breaking insight, I shall soon rule that forum.

@Interstate @T. August curse update - starting tomorrow will be crashing in Hamilton neighborhood until the March 1 move back up to Hunt Valley - so maybe that is far enough south of you all to get a warning level snow to you for Tuesday...

It's pretty on the trees in Monkton but roads were good and blessedly little traffic on way downtown due to school delays. Win.

It may indeed be to our north, but that snow map in Ohio is fucking hilarious. No way, no how. Even in their best snow runs through the southwest and central parts of the state, half of that would be noteworthy.
