I thought about leaving the Christmas lights up until Sunday, so I take my part of the blame for this fiasco. As it is, they're staying up until I can take them down in the pouring rain on Saturday.
-
Ooooh...that's a good one. But of course we should have seen that coming since this whole thing was fraught with the danger of it being a big rainer!
-
I'll worry about that until we're 24 hours out. I'll also worry about a primary running up into Ohio until 24 hours out. ...and a wound-up, tucked bomb that pulls in tropical air off the Gulf Stream and a weak, strung-out POS that drizzles into 39-degree air. I'm sure there are other worries, but I'm kind of tired of thinking about them now.

And suddenly we have people saying that "this was always going to be marginal for the area" and "this was never setup in which the region would score" despite plenty of guidance showing otherwise. Drives me f'ing bonkers.
-
Every time there's a marginal event, the folks who live 50 miles north and west of the cities tell everyone not to worry when there's a wobble that moves the rain/snow line 10 miles to the NW. Of course, snow in a MBY thing...and freaking out should be kept for the Panic Room, but I do wish that some folks realized that there are plenty (a majority?) of people on the boards live in the potential screw zone and have a reason to be concerned.

If you decide to go that route, you'll be leaving my pad with a bucket of cold rain.
-
Whether people like the idea of jinxes or not, I'm already blaming WxUSAF on the trends for this weekend's threat.

Not sure when I joined, but I remember following the February 2006 storm on the board and reading posts about that insane deform band up in the New York City area. Randy five-posted me at some point in 2009-2010 because I made some sort of off-color joke at an inopportune moment. Pretty sure I was in the sin bin for like a year.

Jan Medium/Long Range Disco: Winter is coming

Is that estimated after we get horsepissed on three days later? -
Good stuff. So bummed we missed this by just a couple days!
-
Just very light snow now. What a truly nice surprise on New Year’s Day!
-
My girls skied for the first time last week. Little one (6) really liked it and the older one (10) liked it OK enough . We had a blast overall though. Last week of January should be fantastic up there. I’m jealous!
-
And it’s the same people over and over. If only people would stop engaging…
-
Just saw some snow mixing in with the light precip here in Burke, even though I’m at 42 degrees. Definitely surprised me!

Jan Medium/Long Range Disco: Winter is coming

Just got back on Saturday from a few days at Wisp. I’d say about half the runs were open with the base eroding quickly after that big rainer last week. Good to see they’re snowing lightly now and should continue to do so over the next day or so…and I imagine they’ll be in pretty good shape come the end of next week. -
That’s easy for a robot to say.
-
Well…since modeling in the long range is very accurate, this sounds like bad news. Might need to go away for another few days and see if things change. No idea what this means, but I’ll allow it.

Fugg raisins in cookies.

Was greeted by a similar view this morning. We stayed near the top of the mountain right by one of the (currently closed) runs at Wisp and had a blast despite the less than ideal conditions. Just seeing the snow last night and into this morning made the trip all that much better!
-
Just got back from three days at Wisp with four other families. Tapped out for that time and just kept busy and happy, even if it was 75 and pissing down rain on the mountain when we got there. Good thing is that it started snowing last night and we woke up to 1-2” on our cars this morning. Anyways…did I miss anything interesting?
-
I know what to say: This is a model run. This hasn’t actually happened yet (shock horror!).
-
I never took regular Physics, let alone learned about wave physics.
-
Love this quote from psu in the long-range thread: Something made me giggle at such a flippant comment about “basic wave physics.”

See…I fired up r/mid_atlantic_wx for just such occasions when the server craps out unexpectedly.

Rocking nuthuggers when it’s 50F? Sure…I’m in.
