MU Weather Center
Showers and some embedded brief, heavier downpours are overspreading the region, and the air is actually unstable enough to support a few lightning strikes to the south/west of Frederick, MD. Is it May or February!?
No one posted the 12z GFS...and for good reason. It's pretty much void of any wintry weather through 3/4. There are several cutters to look forward to, however.
We lost the biggest snow hound in the world yesterday - Bastardi essentially said good night and a fond farewell to winter, and he was basing that on the MJO regressing back into 6 in early March.
It's really bad when we lose JB.
Good list - hard for me to come up with anything better or even what you have in a different order. I guess one could say that the ski pass for those who go to Roundtop MIGHT be a little lower...I only say that as it has gotten just cold enough at just the right times that they've been able to keep 65-75% of their trails open since late December. They've done better than the other 2 local resorts and I think mostly because almost all of their terrain receives minimal sun in January and February. Caveat is that they haven't been able to open the far left expert trails the entire season.
68 here - leaving work early to go home, pick up my wife, head for the trail and try and tolerate this awful weather we're suffering through today. It's a thankless duty but I'm stepping up and putting myself out there.
