  1. Been a long time since we have seen anything other than transient cold shots. If they still had the channel 4 Bob Ryan golden snow shovel award I’d bet on December.
  2. Thought that was 1888 pic. Good screensaver
  3. I would think if you cut off the cross polar flow and rely on regular Canada cold source and without a decent snow pack to the north even a good pattern could yield marginal cold which we don’t do well with. Have heard many times here it’s a great pattern just not cold enough. That’s more painful than straight up warmth.
  4. Fair enough. We need cold first. Let’s see what happens.
  5. We do well NOT capitalizing on a cold pattern around here. We smoke a lot of cirrus.
  6. We can hope for the two wave solution with the first becoming a transient 50/50 and the second one digs further south. Tall order for sure. That’s punching above our latitude.
  7. Yes. Also, hoping northern NE S Canada and everywhere north of us gets solid snow cover. That can only help us later. Encouraging to see the cold pouring in…had my doubts earlier in the month that it would never get cold again. But here we are
  8. Even if it was further south seems the cold is lacking for most of us. Plenty of cold after that passes…as expected.
  9. So close to something fun for the rest of us if it was just a tick colder. But a cold rain works just fine to eat and drink excessively on turkey day.
  10. Not this run of the GFS. Sunny and 52F. Let’s see if we can run at 60F
  11. another solution for turkey day way south this run of GFS. Temps responded accordingly. We'll be in shorts before long.
  12. we'll get there...already this winter is a shit ton better than last winter...and its not even winter
  13. taking 11/11/87 out of the equation that would be epic snowfall for November.
  14. I’d take that and call it a winter…white Friday on Black Friday. 254hrs. It’s practically here
  15. woo hoo! its time BWI: 7.7" DCA: 3.9" IAD: 9.8" RIC: 2.4" Tiebreaker (SBY): 1.6"
  16. maybe...glass half full...this is good...mild dry through mid month and then switch it up toward turkey day...so we can wear sweaters. even in the worst patterns we get cold periods. cold rain is a win in these lean times.
  17. hopefully its doesnt become part of the furniture for winter. It always seems to be there even in favorable patterns. I remember last winter it was there just enough to almost never let the 540 line move south of PA.
  18. It won't go down like that..I will wait for our snow contest to tell me where things stand...I'm going big..and not just because I am an idiot...mostly but not entirely
  19. the beat goes on. a cool fall day is almost a fun surprise where you can wear a flannel before Halloween.
  20. Thanksgiving is gonna rock this year...it'll turn just in time...I just know it
  21. 45 at my abode. no rain for the foreseeable future and these cool temps mean its time to get a new leaf rake.
  22. 48 at the house...46 on my way to work in the Bull Run Battlefield
  23. It’s pretty amazing how this winter ended up. As bad as I could imagine this was worse. Take out that one good week in Jan and it has to rank as top 3 worst ever. Maybe not snow depth but overall winter feeling. My house is literally hot today. See you guys in Nov. cheers and god bless!
