As a kid I used to tune into TWC at 20min after the hour every hour in winter because that's when they did the 7day forecast. Those were the halcyon days of weather forecasting.

They're actually in hanging planters on my front porch so they don't get any protection from wind and and they don't get any precip either. They're were from last year's petunias that just reseeded themselves over last winter, maybe they are some cold hardy variety or something.

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.

Cold rain down here in Calvert - 37F. Gonna have to live vicariously through the spycam for snow. Looks like deep winter up there.

I gotta say, I'm not really paying attention to the models this year and it's been less stressful. Just using the ole weatherbug app has simplified my life.and generally been more accurate.

I'm not sure what happened to the WWA, went outside and if we got any precip I can't tell. I did discover that mice have found a way into the roof space in the cabin. Need to go out this morning and hunt for any missed openings around the perimeter.

We have a WWA overnight up here, will see what comes of it. Leaving back for Calvert tomorrow, traffic is gonna suck. 28F and overcast right now.

Moderate to occasionally heavy upslope here for the past few hours. I think we've gotten 2" or so but it's hard to tell because the wind is so strong it just blows it around. 19F right now.

About an inch overnight. Wind is relentless, 21F with wind-chill of 5F.

I believe it. I'm glad there aren't any leaves on the trees anymore.

Ah geez power going in and out now. I'm glad I had all the lines on my property run underground so it's not my fault.
