North Balti Zen

I mean, the scenario where it bombs out and blankets interior New England is of interest to make the arrival of cold air here after easier IMO.  Could be I am talking out of my hindquarters, but...still. 

Board - "WE WANT DIGITAL BLUE"

GFS - ok, here you go, three times in a row

Board - "NOT LIKE THAT"

Oof - 20 degrees on the morning walk. Legit cold feeling.

I thought someone said the control run is the EURO at lower resolution but will soon be taking over as the main EURO models at a higher resolution.

They did. You gonna drop one from 48 hours ago this time?

WW got his fingers hitting refresh to put up how there is no support for anything as fast as possible when the GEFS come out...

Talking suppression, dry and March....should be fun reading when the kids get home from school today 

Still shoveling beautiful projected pattern tho. So we go that going for us. 

23 on the morning walk.

We’ve shoveled some epic pattern this year. Even more than the epic pattern chases of winter of ‘21. Can’t wait to gather the young’uns in the village when I am a respected elder and spin them the tales of all the blues and reds in the right places and glorious that was. 
 

“did it snow?” the kids will ask

”oh my no” I will chuckle - “ but my god , did you not hear me? The pattern!”

Six mile hike and three mile walk (the latter with the dogs) yesterday - today 5 miles at lake Roland this AM and now about to knock out five more at Oregon Ridge - was 30 degrees at 9 am at lake Roland (mt. Washington) area of north Baltimore - now at 43 at Oregon Ridge. Gorgeous blue skies, no wind. Oregon Ridge is packed with families and walkers. 

24 degrees on the 6 am walk with the dogs on the ncr trail - wasn’t expecting it to be that cold.

Trading for guys in their walk year like Burnes and going after a WS title is what big boy franchises do. And if he walks after this year, which he probably will given Boras as his agent, given the light prospect haul sent for him, it is 100% the right thing to do. The first actual "we are going for it" move. Love it.

I'm making popcorn to see who cracks first on the potential pattern change. Easy money is on Ji but don't underestimate someone like Heisy or Terpeast getting jumpy 

Terpeast may be the new betting favorite. I am impressed at his quickness to panic. 

Bob canceled winter until March 20, right?

(kidding)

but weird dynamic to see psu playing voice of optimistic reason. Like they switched good cop/bad cop roles…

Low of 27 - def freezing fog up my way in northern Baltimore County. Every field sporting frosted tips like a Jersey Shore/Guy Fieri mash-up.

I can't believe it's almost February and I have to start planning inventory forecasts for the holiday season already.

I can see the back edge of winter 26/27 already. Hope winter of '27/'28 is better.

What happened to mid February?

I stand with Ji. Can we add “mid and” to the thread title?

Me at my usual takeout lunch spot seeing it overrun with conventioneers: "Man this is annoying"

Me at my usual takeout lunch spot realizing it is entirely Mets from the AMS conference: "Ooooo, time for some Euro control talk with strangers..."

I was referencing more the loss of his beloved Euro op...

DT has to be in a panic…

LOL, I didn't even know the 12z CMC from yesterday showed anything.  I just took a look.   That looks...complicated. And we know how well we do with that.

Perhaps complicated is all we have left to chase anymore? I don't recall the last simple "moisture over-running cold air in place" giving us an easy area-wide 6" - 10" scenario. Maybe Jan. 22 was that for a lot of you, but not us up north of 695. We haven't had a classic "simple" over-running event of note in quite awhile.

Winter was rigged

On an up note - I hiked 11 miles yesterday through Catoctin forests north of Frederick, I've done long hikes every weekend since Thanksgiving, I'm down 3 stone since late August, and I've started dating again and planning dates when I don't have to worry about snow and cold is much easier. Plus, using less heating oil, so...win?

It "wasn't that type of game" per Harbaugh. I swear I wonder sometimes if the Ravens would be better off moving on from him.

I genuinely do not know what that means. Harbaugh is an amazing coach in a lot of respects, but I get the frustration with him sometimes too from Ravens fans. 

Snow TV. It didn't happen. Such is life.

Maybe i'm just stupid (quite likely if you ask my wife) but for weeks my head has been wrapped around any solid winter run in February not starting until around valentines day then I guess there were some hints that we would have some chances earlier but the real meat was still VD and later.....so basically still on track as far as I can read but yet now people are cliff diving because it isn't happening earlier than what was originally and always forecast to be? Now we have Bob's gut and wisdom spooking the usual suspects, I anticipate Ralph to come in today chest thumping and yet the only reasonable voice has been Ji but because he has no clue how to articulate he has a post basically saying that the pattern change is still showing the same date as it did two weeks ago and SOMEHOW people took that to mean delayed....goodness this board sometimes. 

Winter is canceled again. FOREVER.
