  1. Would think today’s record high of 64 is in play if we get some sun. Last year, PIT set a record snowfall of 9.3” on today’s date. What a difference a year makes. Edit: looks like 64 was reached just after noon.
  2. Unless and until the ensembles punt the way the operational models did overnight, we can’t punt yet. It’s 3rd and 14.
  3. Anyone need the data for Kansas City while I’m in there?
  4. The only thing I’ll add about “normals” is this, and I think I’ve said this before: seasonable temperatures are just fine if you don’t simply oscillate between normal and well above normal like what seems to happen a lot. The last time MDT recorded a negative double digit temp departure for a day was way back on 6/23. How many double digit positive departures have occurred between then and now? 22.
  5. As @MAG5035and @Blizzard of 93alluded to, highs in the 40s are considered normal for parts of winter, but here’s the top 10: Note that 8 of these have occurred in the past 30 years.
  6. I’m aware of that, but my understanding is that 64 and 65 round to 64, while 66 and 67 round to 66. Edit: Regardless, 2:53 obs was 67.
  7. It’s not a bad look for cold, but doesn’t exactly deliver the goods.
  8. I always enjoy these posts. The Zapata, TX reference reminds me of a PM I once got from someone inquiring about the September record high for the state of Texas because it was 107 in Zapata that day.
  9. If it were up to me, I wouldn’t. Happy wife, happy life and all of that horseshit.
  10. Was looking for addresses for Christmas cards that I had screenshot in my phone last year and came across a photo I took of the snow on 12/17/20, and got mildly depressed.
  11. Meh, pre-Christmas extreme cold events are rare anyway (1989 at PIT comes to mind, dropped to -12, MDT never got below zero). The departure that month at MDT was -13.2 relative to the current normals, PIT was -14.5, coldest December on record at both locations.
  12. Come to think of it, there has to be snow cover for said event so nighttime temps can radiate most effectively.
  13. Anyone else here who could go for a good polar vortex event (as long as there’s snow both at the beginning and the end)? It’s been awhile.
  14. A cold Christmas seems to be back in play on all of the overnight models.
  15. I don’t mind the look at the end of the EC, that’s for sure.
  16. Amazing how all of the models had that thing in at least a location we could work with just 12 hours ago and now none of them do.
  17. It helps that I have limited respect for the Ravens and Browns this year and we know the Steelers can beat them because they already have. And it’s really hard for me to tell if this is the best division in football this year or the worst.
  18. In all honesty, 8-8-1 and “Tomlin has never had a losing season” are still on the table.
