Idk what's going on but my petunias are still alive and blooming. It's not like it's been anomalously warm or anything. We've had hard freezes obviously. Strange.

Wait, I thought I was supposed to break out my shorts for Christmas after yesterday's runs.

Apparently it was snowing up there earlier today. Rather heavy, I guess.

Allegheny plateau is to winter storms as Hispaniola is to hurricanes.

Toss this, not possible. I hear it only snows in the South anymore.

Lol

You rang?

Nice to see those 2" lollies show up on the 12K.

I sort of retired from my engineering job two years ago and decided to pick up weather in my free time last year. I'm an EE major and applied mathematics minor so I can hang with with the math but I was disappointed looking through the Atmospheric mechanics text book I bought since it was mostly fluid dynamics calculus, which I guess makes sense since the atmosphere is a fluid, duh, but all those dels and curls bummed me out. I just wanted to skip forward to the part about how noreasters form. As luck would have it they dragged me back in and now I'm doing engineering consulting for all these data center powerplants getting built so I have no time for weather. Maybe during my second attempt at retirement... Rest assured, I'm doing my part to help bring your electric bills back down.

If the F.H. Furr CEO was a true weenie he'd revoke their sponsorship over that map.

It's an internet forum after all, very few of these survive anymore so we should be happy for any traffic at this point. Gotta put up with the occasional dumbass poster like myself to get the good stuff.

If I remember from my NE snowstorm books DC tends to get the big storms just as the pattern is relaxing. Or maybe that was just before an AO goes positive, can't remember for sure.

I remember I did something like that on one of my first posts and I was severely admonished.

Looks like a SoMD jackpot, just as I had foreseen. Locking it in.

No.
