Paleocene

Digging up some photos to get us in the spirit with these runs. This was my old front yard in Takoma Park during the 2016 storm. It can snow here! And further back into the archives --- this is on the campus of Gettysburg College during the second February 2010 storm. Legendary!

Happy new year! Here's to things to track and maybe some results this month.

The eagles should just forfeit their week 1 playoff game now

Maybe we'll get some flakes on the front end, if the cold air dam is decent? Like that one storm a couple years ago.

That was a nice happy hour run. Posting my analysis here because I'm a newb and because its 180+ hours on an OP. I love the track off the coast so we in the lowlands avoid the screaming easterly/southerly winds. 700 and 850s look good, but surface is marginal for fall line and east. would love a stronger high up top. no idea wtf is going on at the 500mb level

It's amazing what one op gfs run with digital blue inside 240 hours can do for the mood around here. Imagine if it starts having run to run consistency lol

Did @psuhoffmansay 'antilog'? Should be a word if it isn't. Great word. Winter of the antilog 23-24 never forget

Is it cold rain when it's 54 degrees?

Driving i-95 south through Maine this morning. 34 and rain. And least they fail up here too

I bought a new snow shovel in December 2020 and have yet to use it, lol

All those people who have tripled the metropolitan populations of Dallas, Austin and Houston in the last 30 years will move to New Orleans where it at least will rain. But by then surface water temps in the gulf will average 107 degrees in the winter and category 6 ultracanes will demolish the very memory of our civilization in that region. At least up here in the mid atlantic our nighttime lows will still get down to 57 in January!

Panic panic

have faith weenies

Let's go eagles And by that I mean please don't get demolished and look terrible

This is off topic slightly but for all those who look at the LR op runs for hints of blue. I'm visiting relatives in downeast Maine for the holiday (where its also too warm to snow right now). A storm has been predicted for days to bring rain and wind up here Weds/Thurs, which is not good because some people still don't have power due to last week's windstorm. My in-laws had no power for four days last week (luckily they have a good generator). Anyway, this was yesterday's 6z run valid early thursday morning, with the low crashing into the coast after coming up the gulf of maine: and 24 hours later, valid same time: Point being, even inside 144 hours, the positions of lows can be off by 200 miles! This low may end up scooting east way off Cape Cod, and we'll get nothing. Which would be welcome up here.

That post where the random guy mentioned inhaling the second hand crystal meth was probably one of the best posts of all time on this board (excepting of couse @Jebman 's finest). Sorry @Weather Will

Someone pass will a j next time it's snowing

I'm in eastern Maine and there's no snow on the ground. This CANT BE GOOD

I speak for all of the uninformed people on here who barely know how the atmosphere works when I say: if I don't start seeing digital snow accumulations within 240 hours on the first model that loads on tropical tidbits soon, I'm going to PANIC

Agreed on the defense; it's similar problems to last year. They're just getting exposed more because the offense isn't as productive this year. Agreed, the offense is where the big problems are IMO. It's basically the same personnel as they had last year with Steichen, but there is absolutely no rhythm to this offense. They get caught making ridiculous play choices and seem to always shift away from what is working (or never get anything working to begin with). Teams know that Hurts is going to look at AJ, Devonta, and maybe Goedert and that's it. If those three are covered he's only rarely going to throw it to someone else. I'd say Hurts wasn't himself last night, but he was running fast and got a lot of first downs. I'd pin it on playcalling and coaching. Hurts is playing hero ball, running around in the backfield looking for guys who aren't there. I haven't given up hope and I think they can get it together to win a playoff game or two, but the last 3 weeks have been very frustrating to watch. Last night even more so because they clearly overmatched Seattle in multiple phases of the game, but couldn't pull it off.

Ugh, eagles

At least the temps are sort of appropriate

Nerds

xmas 2023... get out the flip flops

That sounds delightful. Ironically, when I was last in Maine this time of year (visiting in-laws), we got that cold plastery 8 inches or whatever. January 2022. It was dry and cold in ME.
