    Heads up @mappy decent storm coming at you.

    There are a lot of backlogged hail LSRs. LWX went into warning mode fast and probably won't be able to process them until this activity clears out later this evening.

    Couple of cells firing in the NW suburbs, but they appear to be struggling to maintain updrafts. Probably need to wait for the lee trough to form or the front to get closer.

    Yes. We have an interesting combo here, anomalous heat, decent shear and a sharp front. Kind of surprised there isn't a watch box out already.

    Yes please. We need a soaking 2" - 4" of rain over a day or two. It's too damn dry.

    ^big heat does not go quietly into the night. September can be interesting because we get strong cold fronts with some more pronounced upper level support. What we really need though is a solid 2" - 4" of rain over a day or so.

    I would take anything that comes out of the farmer's almanac with a huge grain of salt. Not sure why people listen to that thing anymore.

    Thanks. I really appreciate your answers to all of my questions.

    Which do you find is more impactful for the Mid Atlantic, the PDO or PNA? To my untrained eye it seems the PDO is more valuable to have in your corner.

    How good was 2002-2003 for y'all up there?
  17. Eskimo Joe
    Seconded. Last winter was absolutely brutal in Maryland.

    If you are referring to Hilton Head, KHXD, then the difficulties are possibly due to it being an AWOS and not ASOS. AWOS are antiquated systems that can be put at lower priority airports. If I recall correctly, AWOS do not have a mandate to be augmented by humans, not do they require an alternate power source. Therefore, if there is a commercial power loss the system just goes dark. We simply do not fund our environmental observation networks in the US and the truly upsetting part is that it would not cost too much money to do so.

    Oh yea

    Oct 2018 & 2019 were terrible. Hot, dry I remember the leaves just falling off the trees and it was a terrible season. I think in 2019 we had a trace of sleet in early November then nada for almost the entire winter. Christmas was like 65 degree with bad air quality.

    Don't want a big KU event. I don't wait to sit in a windowless EOC watching snow fall on empty roads. I want to be at home enjoying it.

    My ceiling is climo for NW Baltimore County (About 20 to 24 inches seasonal total). Don't want it all in one big storm, would rather have it a couple of 6" - 10" storms so I don't have to go into work.

    From your mouth to God's ears. Not asking for a 2009-2010 repeat. Just snow.

    My sleep deprived brain can't tell if this is satire or not. There's so many indices and oscillations anymore that I can't tell if we're looking at a shutout for the upcoming winter or if we actually have a shot at hitting climo.
