I'm all for that. I'm legit hoping we got bonkers January and February and March, but man it's hard to bet against the house these days.
-
Unless I'm missing something, that looks pretty rancid in Canada. Just Pacific puke in our source region.

Welp

I know DC got missed but that hit a lot of areas to the SE that typically get shafted. That storm was great for folks who often are on the outside looking in like Salisbury.

La Nina-esque

Doesn't matter if you have a raging Pacific jet anymore.

No I'm talking about years when the LR thread cancels winter in October and you just know it's going to be a shutout. Not even flurries or car toppers.

You've been 100% right so far. No reason to doubt you. We'll probably start seeing snowless winters and 65 degree Christmas days on the regular within the next 5 to 10 years. Stockholm Syndrome. People can't believe it's happening so quickly.

Topped out at 58 degrees yesterday.

Gods I hope this happens and all the goods come to our side of the globe. Let Ivan bake.

BWI racks up a +12 departure on one of the shortest days of the year.
-
Bro it's 61 degrees outside.

Evergreen post in these parts.

Reality is starting to set in. I'll give it to January 15th, but the writing is on the wall for this winter it seems.
-
I agree with you, but would vastly prefer it be snow that slowly melts off to recharge the aquifers.

Probably the only thing saving us from jumping into the upper 50s.

That is not a zonal flow. There is a pronounced ridge in western Canada and some troughing out west. Zonal flow would look something like this: https://mattsweatherrapport.blogspot.com/2017/11/zonal-flow-and-shortwaves-why-we-havent.html

That's the kind of setup where you want to take a weekend in Sheperdstown or Berkley Springs.
-
Both of the waves you illustrated above are running along the KY/TN border. That's a classic setup for a high end advisory level snowfall event in these parts. What's far more important is that you see a legitimate and sustained cross polar flow. That will cool things off and right quick if we ultimate experience that.
-
That's a legitimately excellent look. I hope //this// type of feature continue to show. That's how you win. I want to see tracks laid down and see one light to moderate snow event after another come through. Unless we can score a 2010 scenario, I'd rather we avoid some big event that blows the pattern up for weeks on end. No one and done for me.

It's a shame you have to change majors. You're clearly dedicated to this craft and you would have made one heck of an operational meteorologist.

New York has the ability to sample the atmosphere using Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) technology. They get a vertical profile of the atmosphere every 10 minutes: https://www.nysmesonet.org/networks/profiler#stid=prof_alba While this technology is amazing and extremely valuable, it's incredibly costly to maintain. It would wonderful to have a few of these in Maryland but I don't see that happening for years, if at all. We still have 70 stations to install and then transition to sustainment.
