Paleocene

Alright, how do we keep this thing south? Pray away that spicy SE ridge?

The GFS, Para, CMC, and ECMWF all show a wave moving E/NE out of the texas/arkansas area mid-late next week. It's even there on the JMA and NAVGEM and ICON. For 8 days out its something worth looking at... looking for crumbs here lol

Thanks, got that. What geography does this chart cover?

Anyone got a link to explain how the heck to read these charts?

NC is great and all but can we move this stuff to banter? We can't even complain about not getting digital snow and instead go OT about residential location choice in relation to average annual snowfall! But, I see why we're upset...

Thanks for saying this. Drives me nuts. Especially when frd posts those incomprehensible stratospheric charts

Indeed, wut.jpg

does anyone remember the sun or laughter 39 and gloom in Silver Spring

The NAM did pretty well for the December storm, didn't it? I think I'll believe it for Friday-Saturday. Squashed south by our montreal-ish friend up there, some snow in the NC-VA piedmont region. Congrats Danville/Lynchburg?

Flurries in silver spring! Christmas has come

Offense taken

Just coming here to note that I think winter 2009-2010 broke me psychologically regarding snow. For the rest of my life in the mid-atlantic I will be chasing another winter like that, even though I know it's wildly improbable that will ever happen. I was in college in Adams County PA for all three storms and I will never forget any of them. Driving rural backroads after the twin February storms -it was like driving in damn canyons of snow. Literally above the roofline of my sedan on both sides It was like living in Montana for a week. Blinding wind driven snow jebwalks during the second february storm. Nowhere to put the snow that was stacked on top of your car because it was surrounded by piles stacked up after the first storm. Roads completely impassible. 2016 was like that for a glorious 18 hours but then drip drip melt melt... not the same. All I'm saying is, I understand why Ji is the way Ji is.

Hmmm

Flurries and a light dusting which even covered my street in Silver Spring. SICK

When can we start the nowcast/obs thread so I can stare out my window and say SLEET once before I get rain at 34 degrees for 6 hours tomorrow?

I have a four pack of these crispy boys waiting in my pantry. Got them from the source at dogfish HQ in Milton in November. Will def crack one if it snows on weds eve.

That'll be a hell of a midnite jebwalk.

This looks really pretty to my meteorologically uneducated eyes. Pretty cool to see that 50/50 and the block. I remember past discussion of neutral or negative tilt being desirable for the area of low pressure in the southern US, this is relatively neutral right?

This is good news indeed. I'll take my chances inside the beltway with that. 5 days out to get temps right...

Great CAD signature at 120 hours on the euro.

Here are the fresh GEFS ensemble lows. that is a hell of a cluster east of assateague

Don't want to spam the thread with pics but holy smokes the CMC buries i-95 corridor

cranking!

GFS 12Z on 12/11, for 12z thurs 17th. Capturing the projected wednesday storm 12/16
