Jebman

This is a question to the Mets on here and/or expert hobbyists like PSU.

Why is it so cold in the East for so long? Why is it so cold in Texas for so long? It's going down to 15 again tonight! We can't take this any more!

What kind of Blocking are we experiencing right now?

Please don't tell me the amoc has stopped. I can't take that kind of cold. I don't want to see one drop of frzra or one pellet of that damn sleet NO MORE!

It is. I tried walking on some of the untouched, grass covered areas today and it actually caught me off guard how slick it was. 

Gotta be VERY careful on that ice. Glaciated sleet is extremely hard and very, very slippery.

George BM.

You need to brief the NWS.

That is how professional your forecast scenarios are.

Which probably explains why I am so hateful right now. I got 28. Under climo. In fact my climo has dropped over an inch and a half in the past decade. That is ridiculous. 2016 is the last year I beat climo. And it was because of one storm. Yes it was an amazing 40 inch storm. But generally, it doesnt matter here anymore. Cold winter too far south, warm winter too far north. We just cant score here anymore. Add in the fact that i CHOSE this place to live 25 years ago for climate and it makes it that much more frustrating. Regardless I am really close to moving north soon. I am done with Virginia anyways. 

Tug Hill. You'll never lose.

Every big arctic blast goes thru there, you'll be knee deep in snow. Again and again and again. Get a good snowblower.

Huh? 6z gfs has shittyfrontalpassage snow. Little swath of 1-3”. Then about a foot 6 days later and ends the run with a HECS for Houston TX lol.

Please, no more wintry weather in south central TX.

I was super fortunate to never fall on that damn ice.

yeah kids around here are just sliding on it.  Sledding on this is basically suicidal.

Get on one of those plastic circular 'sleds' like I did once. Go down a sleet covered hill. You will go fast as heck!!!!!

Good luck trying to stop. I was wearing gloves. They got shredded. Glaciated sleet pack is superfast stuff. Ride it at your own risk.

In long range GFS world, North Carolina is the new Jay Peak.

Or the new Palisades Tahoe. Hey, they got mountains.

The MA really is the snow anus of the east coast though. It does actually seem like areas to our east, west, north, and south do better.

It's true. The DMV is too far north. NC will always get all the snow when we have strong cold air over DC. I might need to write up a morbid story about NC in the Blizzard and thousands of people trying to walk along I95 in waist high, rapidly deepening snow while NE gales scream overhead.

Now watch what happens in late April when the Pattern finally changes. DC will get demolished by torrential rain.

I am so upset, my heart will always be in the DMV. I spent 54 years up there!!

WE should be getting that bomb cyclone snow, NOT fooking north carolina!

I am so upset I damn near almost spilled an extra large cup of hot coffee right on my keyboard.

Damn that was close

Exactly.  We need A+B+C divided by 20 x .16 sigman minus e squared worked by a dozen cows and an eclipse.  It is what it is.  I'll track but not getting my hopes up.   Euro already doing the same thing as before.  Color me spooked.

EPIC sig material

The NAM looks amazing for NC. Maybe one day we'll get a NC quality storm up here lol

Yeah DC is too far north for NC quality snow.

Damn I coulda made a killing if I was still young enough to dig lots of ice and snow.

I've got early intel on Punxsutawney Phil's upcoming decision next week:

This is one of your very BEST! I wanna be fully Snowciopathic, too! Damn I love this! I love ICE like some people love g-d. Ice is the best!

Beginning in the February 2026 Thread, I will start a page about loving and worshipping snow.

What started this little slog?

Yesterday. Watertown, NY. The camera. I saw they got close to 2 feet of fresh pow. I watched it come down.

Now, I want this fate for DCA and vicinity. It would be so wonderful if the public had to deal with 24 inches of fresh snow on top of the glacial catastrophe that is the present DMV.

Age has done me NO good. I do not have wisdom. Wisdom and maturity are both grossly overrated.

Snow is Number One. More than things, people or even life itself. Having deep ice underneath is even better. Sidewalks are unpassable. People fall. They end up in the streets where automobiles tend to slam on the brakes, and, well you know what happens next.

It's gonnabe the worst of the Jebman, and the Best of the Jebman.

Get a steel square edged shovel with a fiberglass handle. This is a Jebman Shovel. Use it. You'll need it. Much more winter weather is on the way for Washington DC.

Get Spotify on your phone and get headphones. Blast those tracks that remind you of heavy snow. Start taking jebwalks and slide on the ice while shouting Woooooooo----Hooooooo because you're so damn happy there's ice and frigid weather in DC.

Put your hands in cold water then walk around on the Washington Glacier and FEEL that wind! Feel those low dewpoints! Breathe it in DEEP!

This is NO time to be on that damn couch, stuffing jelly donuts and getting fat. It's high time to channel the Hero within yourself and get the pick, a sledge and the shovel and start removing the ice from DC, one agonizing chip at a time.

One more important thing. Ji said I am 12 years old. He's correct, except that I'm really 5. This, is why I worship snow still, in early 2026. You'd think I'd know better after five years. But, I don't. I don't understand why I can somehow remember storms as far back as January 19, 1979 in Alexandria. Or the fact that once we didn't have the Internet. Or reel to reel technology. Landlines, cassette tapes, the Greaseman in DC in the 1980s, tie dyed shirts, the Summer of Love in 1969, and a lot of other stuff. The BLIZZARD on March 13, 1993. The Infamous Ice Storms in northern Va in Jan-Feb 1994, and others. Not bad for a five year old, huh?

Oh, and Ji? I still crave for that Carolinas blizzard to hit DCA so hard with 12-24 inches of fluffy snow, right smack-dab on top of the Washington DC Glacier! I want this SO BAD!!!

Let's have a Jan 25, 2000 Redux! Let's will this in!

Please stop already. What are you 12?

Yep. When it comes to deep pow on top of catastrophic ice in Washington DC, YOU BETTER BELIEVE I am only 5 years old. And, I'm damn PROUD of the fact.

And I still want 30 inches of powder snow on top of that glacier in the DMV. You guys are tough. You'll love it.

I STILL worship snow to the total exclusion of everything else and everybody else. And I pray to the snow gods for deep snow right on top of that Washington DC Glacier!

I am out on the Ledge again just because DC is not gonna get deep powder snow on top of the Glacier.

Too bad the Reaper is retired. Damn.

And, Ji is correct on the model disco thread. Sure I'm 12.

I am always a KID when it comes to snow, ESPECIALLY snow on top of solid ICE! I am STILL OBSESSED WITH ICE AGE CONDITIONS IN Washington DC!

As long as it is not in Buda.

I will NEVER grow the fuck up.

I have not learned. I am gonna die someday without understanding, still worshipping ice and snow. Snow and ice are God, not g-d. I am un-repentant and I will always be un-repentant. I will DIE that way too. Guaranteed. Even tho I live in South Texas!

I'm not 12. I'm 5, and I'm DAMN PROUD OF IT.

Dang NC about to have an historic winter snowfall-wise? Smh

OBX may get 12-16 inches maybe even more. I wanted DCA to get that snow! I CRAVED pow over top of the Glacier SO BAD!

Maybe we should try to will in a Jan 25 2000.

I hope this thing overperforms somehow and you all get perfectly demolished like Snowshoe.

Its going to be so ice age frigid in Texas into Feb 23 that I need an entire new wardrobe. Maybe the AMOC stopped altogether.

I have officially given up all hope of Spring in the Deep South in 2026. It's been repealed.

Skidder at Snowshoe is ridiculous. You can clearly see they have so much snow that the edge of the ski run is as high as nearby buildings lol. It's been snowing there and piling up for weeks and weeks on end.

Watertown has been getting destroyed all frackin DAY!

Check out different times on the vid! Man that LES fell HARD at times!

Guys/gals. There is a Banter thread.

You know folks in the DMV, Snowshoe is not all that far away from you all.

All the answers to all your ills is there at Snowshoe, they have been getting demolished by torrential snow for weeks and weeks!

By now they probably have more snow than Mammoth has right now. Mammoth only has 64 inches in their snowpack. I know Snowshoe has much much more than that. It has been snowing HARD every day for the past two MONTHS! That place is The Day After Tomorrow! It's been cloudy for weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks there and it is ALWAYS snowing at night! It's been like that at Snowshoe since late November! Talk about a MICROCLIMATE!
