I used to do aerospace flight test telemetry and over the horizon is real, I can attest. Job would've been much easier if the earth was flat.

The February warmup has been foretold by Joe Badstardi. Don't worry though, today he said March should flip back to cold...

Man, just looked up and the wind chills on the Gulf Coast are colder than here right now! Crazy.

Yeah but did they use 3W or 4W RTDs with lead compensation? And who knows, maybe they only used 8-bit ADCs back then and not 32-bit ADCs oversampled for ENOBs of 36 bits.

Just stacking some firewood and I did notice a slight breeze picking up, so maybe the cold is coming in now.

When does the cold air arrive? It's like 26F out, sunny and not even a breeze. Feels balmy in the sun.

Just switched over to snow down here. Getting colder out and breezy too. 38F.

Dumping fatties hard down here in a Calvert. Roads have caved and we got prolly 4" on the ground already. JK, warm rain down here. Going to the cabin this weekend and taking the new snowshoes. They're supposed to get a foot out there and I'm expecting several feet on the ground when I get there.

JFC, pull it together people. It's a solid 1-3" event followed by the best arctic blast in years.

I think I've already hit climo down here, despite the dire forecasts from Mets everywhere this winter has been one of the best in the past 10yrs and it's far from over. Another reminder that nobody knows anything on these long range seasonal forecasts. I half expect the climate change narrative to go in full reverse once the PDO finally flips. The pain trade on warming is so piled in on that side at this point that it reminds me of the housing bubble. Temp can only go UP!!!! Buy before it's too late!

I think that was it. He's adamant that Trump should move it indoors given his age. My parents are acting like it's gonna be anarchy with roving gangs or something. They don't want me to stay at our house in the city. I'm like dude, there's a reason riots always happen in the summer, too cold for that shit.

Just listened to JB and he had it all for today's missive. 2-4", locally 3-6" this weekend....JFK...Reagan...the 1899 storm...some 1840s inauguration reference...I lost track after that.

1970s...might as well have been the pleistocene. PDO was probably a couple SDs positive in those days.

Bamwx has their own weather app?

It was the 1980s, times were different. Survival of the fittest I guess. I don't think she ever understood fully what she did.

I'll do one better and make a snow igloo and just sleep in that. Almost died doing that one night as a kid. My friend and I were sleeping in an igloo in his backyard and when we were sleeping his mom decided it would be a good idea to cover the entrance with a trash bag to keep us warmer. I woke up in the night dizzy and hyperventilating, he was unconscious. Luckily I had the sense to bust out of the thing before it was too late.

That happened way before I lived here...I don't believe it. #FakeNews

And in my own backyard! If we got a 20F blizzard there would certainly be more than one type of tent pitched that day.

That gives me pause, I'll believe 17F and heavy snow in SoMD when I see it.

One time about 5-6 yrs ago the JMA was showing warm and he discounted it, probably because he was wishcasting cold. Eventually it became clear the JMA had the right idea and winter was basically over. The meltdown was epic, I literally think he was crying during his Saturday summary video. Ever since then he's showed it major respect.

He was saying that if the JMA is correct that we were going into the warm phases around the end of January and thought it would linger there for some time in February. Not sure he predicted it was for sure going to happen but moreso *if* the JMA is correct. He does seem to put a lot of stock in the JMA when it comes to MJO predictions.

Uh oh, JB would be exonerated.

That's good for an additional 2-4" if we use Kuchera ratios generously.

Lmfao, I just looked. He literally had a post up today highlighting JFK, Carter and Reagan!

I think he already did that a couple weeks ago. Maybe Reagan, can't remember for sure.
