I suppose this is an ob … Walking to the truck after work, about 40 yards or so, I counted 57 lantern flies. Wasn’t looking right or left, only straight ahead. They are very numerous here.

Somebody tell this dude that you don’t talk strat in September. You hold that one until deep dark depression has set in by about Dec 10

Obvious. I agree. It’s obviously 1.4 more at BWI and 0.7 at IAD.

Almost 2

Of course not

That’s not good news on either front.

Everybody likes a little ACE

But why? That’s the part I’m missing

Ok now that I know what ACE is, what does it have to do with winter?

I think everyone can stop looking to kill lantern flies or whatever they are called. They are literally everywhere out here. That ship has sailed. Those horses are already out of the barn. Me stomping a few would be like somebody in New York trying to stop the flooding last week using a bucket.

Can somebody explain what ACE is? Not ashamed to say I have no clue.

See, I don’t really know, but I do have a hunch. Just from my observation, we get a lot of warnings that seem marginal when looking at radar signatures. Granted, my analysis is not professional. Same with severe thunderstorm warnings. I can’t tell you how many times we will get a warning come out here and the storm is basically nothing than a typical thunderstorm. But when I see warnings on the maps out in the plains, and then look at the radar, it’s like wow! The radar signatures there seem ominous. Just an observation with no facts to back it up. Just curious.

I’d like to see tornado warnings vs actual tornadoes on the east coast region

I’d love that look but I’m not trading one snow day for a whole winter

If it could be sunny every day until November that would be great

That is just so amazing watching that tree to the right

Didn’t realize it but KOKV was 46 this morning

That’s crazy

On orientation but not so much on actual amounts. Being anywhere from 1.5” to upwards of 5” off on totals in a 48 hour forecast is pretty far off. I would the icon was better with totals from the same range but had its heaviest precip a little too far to the northwest

Bring it!!!

Oh my lord

48 at KOKV. But that’s not all that remarkable for early September

This is all part of why I will never hope for extreme weather other than snow. Heavy snow is not a threat if you will just sit in your house and watch it.

Thanks guys. I hadn’t thought of that. And I suppose age and mobility play a role as well. Very sad though

Now that makes sense. And that is scary as hell
