The second half of January is gonna be rockin'! The last week of January is gonna be rockin'! The first week of February is gonna be rockin'!
-
Lmao did this storm thread even survive one model run?
-
Well I see Southern Maryland is back to its rightful location sweating the rain/snow line, everything is looking like a classic setup - lock it in.
-
I remember the heady days of dec 17, 2009 every time they issued a new storm warning update, the snow total forecast increased another 6" over the last issue. Seems like a lifetime ago. I was never so excited to hit the refresh button on my browser.

Yeah he said that yesterday too. I was gonna mention it but didn't want to spoil the mood.
-
I'm waiting til after this weekend's event to get invested. If we underperform during this rain then I'm sticking with drought persistence. But if we get a solid soaking then I'm gonna have some faith again.

12Z GFS gets it done for the 18th. Yay.
-
I think it was last year or the year before, JB was hyping the spire when they first started showing it on WB. Haven't heard him reference it since then...
-
Finally, a nice sunny day. Drove the motorcycle to work, didn't even need the heated jacket.
-
I can convince myself of it.
-
The problem is that the complainers (Cassandras) usually end up being right. At least in recent years.

Having looked at the GFS...I wouldn't draw that conclusion. ETA - at the end of the run there's cold in Ulaanbaatar. If I remember last year, that means something for us in February or March.
-
Yup, I thought today might break the streak but nope....back in purgatory.
-
It's even worse. Because I needed my daily dose of melancholy I listened to the rest of it, hoping for some rah rah pep talk about the Arctic freight train about to let loose. Joke's on me, it basically ended with him and ominous phase-6 and SER talk and hinting that we're SOL if the ridge pumps. When you've even lost JB from your team in the quest for winter then shit's pretty dire. He tried half heartedly to throw out 2014 as an analog but I could tell even he didn't believe his own words.
-
JB asked Grok about the MJO and it basically told him to come back in early February. Also he admitted the 1985 analog is off the table. Not sure what took its place, I was too disgusted to listen to the rest of it.
-
I don't know much but I know I'm getting tired of these fuggin gray overcast days.
-
That's what I've been saying. Outside of thunderstorms, how many 1.5" rain events have we had this year? The odds that were going to break the streak and get 1"+ qpf just so happening to line up as a snow event seems too good to be true. But at least this winter we've proven we can do cold still.

You missed out on the politics thread, eh?
-
That's the storm I need to win the snowfall contest. No chance.
-
Whatever, I'm reasonably confident we can get cold air by the latter half of the month. My top analogue is.....1985. I was only 4yo that winter living in Michigan so I have.no idea what it brought here. What I'm not reasonably confident is precip. The drought presses on for the next few weeks and I see no reason it lets up this month.

Social media is so dumb. In the good ole days of forums we didn't have emojis or high school clique level rating systems. Thanks MySpace.
-
Maybe I can plant my tomatoes in the garden next weekend! My petunias are barely hanging on, if they can make it a few more days then they'll be golden.
-
Do weenie ratings actually count for something in the forum? It seems like ravensrule weenies most posts but I just assumed it was a joke and didn't know it was a serious thing. Where can I find my weenie count?
