Scraff

We need to bring it home! BTW—My fridge has been stocked up and ready since 2016. Eta: Meh-who we kidding. It’s always full of deliciousness.

Come on blue on blue! I know one person will that will like it...or find a reason to hate it.

I’m a big fan of Larry Cosgrove. If this...or @psuhoffman doesn’t have you fired up for the next few weeks.... “I realize that there is a huge disparity between what some of the longer term modeling is showing for temperatures, and my analog projections. If you believe the CFS and ECMWF panels, none of the codler regimes showing up in late January will stick around in February. But realize: the model guidance has been useless since Labor Day. The impressive southern branch and flow splitting has created a thermal projection that looks like a typical El Nino, instead of what La Nina climatology (which the equations are using heavily) would suggest. And with the steady -ENSO signal projected to weaken, some of the blocking elements shown on the February 500MB comparison chart will come into play. Realize that the potential storm for January 24 - 28 is a very big deal in the outline for February! The event would set a template of sorts, with continued blocking around Baffin Island, helping to set up a recurrent chance for Nor'easter type cyclones (both Middle A and B variety. Cold drainage would be made easy by ridging that sets up along the West Coast and nearer to the North Pole. Curiously, the analog platform has the eastern two-thirds of North America about as cold as what Europe has been recently. An upper low centered roughly over Lake Superior and into central/southern Ontario would create happiness to snow and cold enthusiasts, quite possible through March as well. Note that a) hemisphere snow cover has expanded greatly, and b) the splitting of the 10MB circumpolar vortex has continued with ridging in far northern Canada. If you project on past modeling of stratospheric temperature, the potential is there for occasional cross-polar flow. So whereas Siberia is the coldest source region now, drainage may help to reform the cAk "motherlode" into Nunavut AR and the Northwest Territories. I think it is safe to say that snow and ice potential will be higher east of the Rocky Mountains, and that colder days are upon us. Just so you know, however, that the analog system projects a very warm April and May, and a searing hot summer with multiple East Coast hurricane threats. So enjoy the chill and the chance for whote powder, because "Redux 2020 Hurricane Season" is high on the probability charts. Sleep well tonight”

Ravens game has been a total disaster (winter 2019/2020). **** it. At least it’s hockey season. Let’s beat the shit outta Pitt tomorrow. Hi @yoda

I’m sorry, but do you have cliff notes available?

I’m torn on Charra. I HOPE it works out? Last time we had a fossil on D (Orpik), we won the Cup. Morning After from Hysteria was just canned like 20 mins ago. My favorite batch yet. Gotta love coffee though. It’s pretty much an iced 7% ABV coffee with soft cocoa and vanilla throughout. Types that as I sip the new Piney The Panda DIPA. Holy! 8.5%. West / East Coast hybrid. Can I get some PNA love one day day soon to help us with our snow dreams in the East!? LOLz

Day drinking and getting ready for Caps hockey...the best!

I might be able to save an 09 and 10 for a weather friends bottle/can share when we get back to “normal”. I have 2 of those each so would love to do that. I want to share with people who would truly appreciate them.

What years are you cracking? I have some BCS bottles from 09/10/12/13/14/15. I mistakenly broke my chain of the vertical by drinking the 11. It was a drunken moment of stupidity during one our previous years snow storms. Let me know how the tasting goes. Love to hear about it. Cheers! Weather related - it’s cold and damn rainy. Too bad it wasn’t 10 degrees colder.

If only that wasn’t a figment of our imagination.

Don’t look at 6z unless you want all greens on the map. Glad we can start tracking though.

Too early to put all my chips in? Or maybe the “it’s happening” gif?

I remember having the neighbors over that evening. I was splitting my time between the raging excitement on this board vs. the excitement of 4 bottles of world class wine that we plowed through.. Hurting the next AM, the fresh snow cleared my head in an instant. The kids and I had a blast just playing and shoveling all morning. Good times for sure.

To make myself feel better knowing that we may never see another week like Snowmegeddon 1&2, I still go back and watch this. I promise it will put smile on all the faces.
