MN Transplant

Good, hopefully that means fewer people watching Vikings @ Bears

Always entertaining to bump this thread https://twitter.com/islivingston/status/1471900949073510401?s=20 https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/CurrentMap/StateDroughtMonitor.aspx?VA

DCA officially sets the record high at 65.

Already has been 63 this morning.

Friday is the lowest record high of any day at DCA (64). It is 62/63 right now.

Guidance busted low today. 68.5!

Lincoln, NE ASOS gust to 93mph. That system is amazing.

I wonder how many times SPC has issued a Moderate for locations that have snow on the ground.

There are locations in MN that have snow on the ground and are under a moderate risk per SPC. That is wild.

Yup, and the funny thing is that I’m usually the one pointing that out to others. And it was all for naught anyway, since we did grab the 70 after the afternoon climo report.

If anyone wondered whether there was a correlation between a dry Nov/Dec (<3" precip) and the winter snowfall...there is not. DCA's average is 15" and median is 11.6" in those cases, which is pretty close to the average.

Record stays at 69. Remains 9 calendar days with records <70.

Record high at DCA. At least 70 (maybe, saw from Ian’s Twitter that it was a 5 minute ob). Only 8 calendar days at DCA now have high temp records in the 60s.

It really has to be the first order of business so the emergency vehicles can get through.

Up in IL

Hard to tell. My guess, and hope, would be just N of the hospital.

The only upside is that they had a huge lead time on warnings. Really bad.

That has to be terrifying to be in Mayfield and seeing that come at you. They’ve had a lot of time, hope everyone is in place.

Is the boardwalk area on the east(?) side beyond the pond new-ish, or am I just not remembering it? We were there about a decade ago and the again about 4 years ago with the kid, but in the latter trip we didn’t go as far. Amazing how Buck and Aikman had the pulse of the nervous Vikings fans at 29-7, and the immediately the next ball gets tipped into a pick and it just snowballs. The cornerback situation is just atrocious behind Peterson.

Well, I can safely say, with no chance that this will look stupid soon enough, that the Lions are a way better team than the Steelers.

Up in PA for a couple of days to get away from home. Longwood Christmas is amazing. I’ve been in this area coming up on two decades and realized that this was the first time that I didn’t use the 95 or 270 corridors to travel north through Maryland. Going up 695 to 83 I saw signs for all of the places I only hear about because of this forum! And the typical MD story, I was on 695 coming up on a work van that had the “this vehicle travels the speed limit” sticker. It was going ~17 over, which I thought was about right for MD speed limits.
