Paleocene

Agreed!. I have an inordinate number of photos of trees/woods taken between 12/10 and 12/31 each year lol. Love that soft light. Even better the further north you go

Paleocene's Sky Stuff Rankings (I like the I guess) 1) Extremely low AQI / high pressure days with zero cloud cover and deep blue sky, particularly from July - October (but also other months) 2) Sunny days in February - March when the sun angle starts increasing but the leaves aren't out yet, and everything is lit very brightly in profile by the still angled rays of the sun, especially houses/buildings/trees. See paintings by Edward Hopper (my prof pic). Shadows are pronounced. 3) Obligatory SN+ 4) When it absolutely rains buckets and sheets of rain and it's like we're in south florida

I got like an inch of rain that one day after new years. then 1.5" of snow and pellet precip. but yeah other than that dry as a bone

miss south

CMC. Flips to rain for metros

Lol one piece of the low on the GFS ends up stuck in Tampa

yeah if the op euro is just chasing the AIFS which has consistently been south we're cooked.

Indeed. 06z euro says wake up mid Atlantic and don't shit the blinds just yet!

Now there's how the MA does February. Enough of these Manitoba temps

18z icon looks like it'll take the ol' northerly route up to michigan if it went past 120 hours. love that <3

Meh. For 48 hour QPF at D7+ I would expect some pretty major dispersion. If it looked like this inside D5, I would agree with you.

Which results in some major differences lol. Euro 12z precip Euro AI 12z precip (it's faster so slightly earlier panel)

Euro AI and Euro are... different. at 500mb.

With the primary jumping from Indianapolis to Wilmington

Thump to rain on the GFS.

I don't like this super bowl or this moral priestly version of ravensrule

My twelve year old son is now a man thanks to bad Bunny

Agreed. Darnold is playing it safe, and he has no reason not to. That was my biggest wildcard for this game.. which darnold is gonna show up.

Lol people who bet the under on total score are probably feeling pretty good. It was 44.5 before the game

Lol sorry and no harm meant to DE. His incessant mentions of the place drove me a bit nuts. I have friends and relatives there, and since I moved to the DC area as an adult, it's one of my favorite escapes to get out to the shore (and to Milton for DFH). The grey wizard is now on my ignore list.

What's Delaware? Is that a county on Maryland's Eastern shore?

Yes, and the EPS has really just clued in on this solution over the last few runs. More changes expected lol

Cross posting one of the few things I feel qualified to write about. MSLP positions. 12z EPS; you can see how the mean is well SE of where the operational euro was. At hour 186, the operational was where the 1008mb contour crosses the Chesapeake.

Low positions on the EPS aren't bad. You can see how the operational euro was well NW of this mean. Temps marginal, better for NW, like the rest of the 12z of all models. Well, I've been reeled in by the trends of the last 4 runs; time to pay attention for the next day or two

Indeed. Newest addition to the weenie handbook. Chapter IX, "Surface Temps on Global Models," new entry in part A.3, line 25: "global AI models are approximately 5-10 degrees too warm in DJFM"
