Here's to hoping 18z makes everyone's desires and fantasies come true.

only if it shows the surfing black guy on the 582 line.

Yeah, but you still have the tic tac toe ridge blocking the blackslash thing.  We need that to flip the blue line mountain torque base state and then move toward that fucking squiggly line thing, which in turn will flip the yellow line on it's axis and give us 1958 redux.  See the "scream" dipole ridge up top?  need more spacing.  I'm not trying to be a deb, but that's just how I see it bro.  There's a random black guy surfing on the 582 line. 

 

this might be the funniest thing I've seen in about 5 years on here.

In the Baltimore area there have been 102 snows storms with one-day totals exceeding 6 inches.  Of those, 21 occurred in March or April. 
Of the 21, 12 occurred during the first 10 days of March, 6 during the next 10 days, and 3 occurred on the 21st or later. 
In the DC area there have been 79 snow storms with one-day totals exceeding 6 inches.  Of those 10 occurred in March. 
Of those 10, 4 occurred during the first 10 days, 3 during the next 10 days, and 3 on the 21st or later. 
The Palm Sunday storm topped the chart at both locations (22 and 11.5 inches, respectively). 
 
Our window is short.

Maps with no snow are what we specialize in around here. 

The jokes write themselves this winter

While we're at it, I wish he'd stop using OZ.   Like, Are we going to the Land of Oz or is this an 0z model?

The “look” looks pretty legit to me.  Only 9 days away but with a -NAO on steroids.  Who knows.

But can we overcome the WAR? Seasonal persistence and "Base State"(LOL) say no, or at best, thread the needle...

Impressive squall at Rehoboth.

It really came down for about 45 minutes. Ended up with a solid coating.

At least it snowed...kinda.

6Z Euro finally came around a bit.

Looks like a chance for an inch in a fairly small area where a bit of an enhanced band may set up. You might be in a good spot. Overall the forecast for a half inch or less seems reasonable.

I have such a hard time believing it, given seasonal trends...but it would be nice for sure.

getting too stressed about things that are completely out of your control is a recipe for disaster, and the weather is a prime example

it's better to take the good when it comes and to distract yourself when things get crappy, you just gotta accept it. nothing you can do 

This is sparking what I think is a really good discussion, and lesson that everyone can stand to be reminded of from time to time.

There are things in life that you can control, and things that you can't. Nothing productive whatsoever is gained from worrying and anguishing over the things you can't control, even though so many of us fall victim to this every single day. For some of us it can be a daily battle. But, as others have said better than me, once you do find a way to try and let things beyond your control go, your stress level goes way down, and life becomes a little easier to enjoy

or a sustained trolling job. 

I doubt it, unless he's willing to play a multiple year game, cause its been at least 2 winters that I can recall with this same self-destructive MO.

maybe baltimore is not the place for you, ever thought of relocating?

its been suggested to him multiple times. Clearly he lets snow and weather as a whole have a unhealthy hold on him. It's almost a neurosis....

Sorry but not cool for him to throw some temper tantrum and speak down to someone who actually contributes. I know I don’t have anything to add, so I sit back and read and learn. He should do the same as well. 
 

 

While I agree, there is no way to forcibly compel him. The ignore button really does help lower ones blood pressure...

anyone else in the subforum feel any shaking about 10 min ago? Felt all over southern DE and NJ.

My 11 year old daughter reminded me the other day to stay patient because "we always sled in March when we get our deepest snows". She isn't wrong in recent years. She even mentioned a April snow from several years ago. She has a meteo memory like you!!

Raising the next generation of weather weenies right!

12z GFS somehow manages to get a little something going along the coast despite multiple pieces of vorticity intertwining within a positively tilted trough while an amplified ridge is bearing down right on top. 

Watch that be the only way we get snow this year LOL

60 degrees to 16” in ~48hrs. What could go wrong?

If I ever go to WAR I will carry a needle as my weapon.

Whoops, wrong needle. Just having some fun today with quiet times upon us for now. I'm done with the ot stuff.

maybe not so quiet if this deal on the 6th sneaks up on us #Ialwaysstayoptimistic

It was a well timed healthy wave moving along the boundary with some legit cold pressing in. There was also a bit of a bootleg -NAO. But yes there was plenty of intricate timing involved, and it came at the beginning of a pattern change as the western trough was shifting east and ridging along the east coast was breaking down.

Here's hoping we can pull off another hat trick. Would be almost a year to the day...

6z GFS was absolutely a thread the needle deal, with that vorticity lobe rotating down over the southern tip of Hudson Bay at exactly the right time to enhance HP in a good spot. There is zero blocking and the antithesis of a 50-50 low, so any HP to the north will be on the move.

This is kind of how we got the storm last January, no? A thread the needle type of situation with little Antecedent cold air? It was in the 60s the day before. Seems to me a lot of our recent events have arisen from similar such situations...

This(potential) storm would be in keeping with the trend of the last 3 years of plans for my birthday being affected by snow(Jan 9th), so it should be a lock

ground starting to whiten here....might get a "white Christmas" by default

Is that a bay effect snow streamer on radar heading into Dorchester County?
