  1. If we're talking geo-engineering for more snow then I think we should mandate people replacing furnaces with heat-pumps. Make it hot inside by extracting outdoor heat. Imagine every house in DC and Baltimore running one of those in winter. Big office buildings too. We'd get an urban cool island, it'd be snowing in downtown Baltimore rain in Towson
  2. If there wasn't any gatekeeping this place would just be facebook with some dumb*** talking about how the weatherman got it wrong again
  3. Lol, you'll piss off a lot of people calling it not science but I like it. What we do with modeling is built around science, it's based on pure scientific principle, but it takes human spark and ingenuity to really get to the top level. Parameters need to be tuned, ensembles need to be interpreted in a way that makes sense to the public. It's an art and a craft really, and that's cooler than a bunch of gears
  4. It's not that simple. Like not at all, in any way. Yes, the climate is warming from human emissions, but that doesn't translate to "baroclinic boundary moves X miles north". And there's no way to even calculate a half-way semi reliable change in temperature because of various knock on effects related to clouds and patterns of heat distribution . It's not a linear equation like that.
  5. Saw some really nice snow devils/snownados out on tridelphia lake this morning. Wish I could've got some actual pics but hands were totally numb
  6. Euro really moderating the warmup which is a nice surprise. Snowpack till late February?
  7. sn+ here for last 20 or so minutes. Absolutely pouring. Once again the 3am bird gets the worm! Picked up about 1/2 inch so far from this band
  8. we're getting 500:1 ratios. moon dust stuff. We only need like 50 flakes
  9. Need this squall line between hagerstown and frederick to hold together over south mountain
  10. Good timing for the refresher. Driving home from work today I don't think I've ever seen a dirtier snowpack here. It's way less like what we're used to and more like winters up north in an industrial town
  11. The urge to jump on one of those and float on it like a barge is overwhelming
  12. With the coming of spring I'm afraid the ice steps I sculpted as a short-cut down to my car will turn into an impassible muddy mess. A "rasputitsa" if you will that will hinder mobility
  13. Terrapin beach this afternoon. Wish I had those ice spike things for this, walk from road to beach was brutal, especially the last stretch right before the shoreline was an absolute sheet of glass
  14. Hey neighbor! Funny how out of the three years I'll have been in Columbia, lake Elkhorn has been walkable twice. Late January last year was solid enough to cross, though not as thick as it'll be this year of course.
  15. I'll take a nina every time. 12" of snow that's a puddle the next day < 2" that sticks around. The only time it's ever worth it is for the 2016 type 2 foot storms but that's a huge gamble.
  16. I just ordered some. Won't be here till tuesday so better stay cold or else they're just a self defense item I guess
  17. Had to drive out about 15 miles to the Montgomery county agricultural history farm park this morning to see negatives. My wife now thinks I'm a nutjob. But it was worth it. Low of 4 degrees at home
  18. Rivers are always more risky just b/c of how currents impact freeze up. Some of the tidal areas could be walkable in a matter of days, as well as any fast ice on shores of Chesapeake. Walking on some part of the bay is on my bucket list so I will be reporting on that when it's at least conceivably safe lol
  19. If GFS is right with long range progression I will be walking to Hart-Miller Island
  20. low of 6 at ****130am**** I have never been more pissed at wind in my life. Denyed yet again
  21. sounds like right in front of the garage is a good place to dump snow for next time
  22. had to do a double take because I'm moving to a house in Baltimore next week that has that exact setup, lmao. End of group house on alley with concrete pad and people with garages up the alley. Hope this isn't a common theme
  23. Corrected reflectivity showing extent of Chesapeake bay ice as of this morning. Should start to explode tonight with calm winds
  24. it's a radiational cooling night now that the winds are dying off. There's probably a 5+ degree difference between different sides of your house depending on sky exposure and distance to heat sources. Many parts of the city will reach single digits
