That's what I figured lol... I had just never heard the term zugzwang before in my chess playing. Totally learned a new term today. I play off and on online... tbh I consider myself to be pretty good lol. I play both types of games -- untimed or with a clock. With a clock (I usually do 10 minutes) you will make the occasional bad move and you just have to hope your opponent doesn't see it. My downfall in chess playing is I look to far ahead -- I end up overanalyzing the board and think 3-4 moves ahead and will often miss the obvious move I should have made earlier (i.e. putting black's king in check or doing a knight/bishop swap to open the board more)

I actually didn't know his name was a chess term until I looked it up. I had never heard of that term before

Yes yes.. 18z NAM at the end of its run... but at h5 at 84 looks EUROesuqe to me

Who's move is it in your avatar @Always in Zugzwang? If it's black's move the game is over and white wins... if its white's move... stalemate

I admit its kinda fun to see snow in the forecast on the ZFP's from LWX starting Saturday night and still be there in the forecast for Tuesday

Can you post a link to that please? I can't find the link to that in my weather library of links lol

on the 12z GFS or EURO? And I am guessing that member is going to have a BECS end solution lol

18z 12km NAM also nudged north as well If you believe in the PW snow maps... 0.1" into DC... 0.5" into S FX... and 1" into EZF ETA: 18z 3km NAM also moved north... but no snow accums up here... CHO is at 1" on 18z... was nothing on 12z run

18z at 42 12z at 48

1 inch marker is now just north of EZF

18z HRRRR gets accumulating snow close to DC for tomorrow morning lol

I know there are a few Penguins fans in here... but wow... very surprising news. Wonder what the Caps fans think lol https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2021/01/jim-rutherford-resigns-as-pittsburgh-penguins-gm.html

Fast service in teh banter thread this afternoon

Yes... what hours do you want?

True... but there are 3 different frames (132-144) of wind gusts over 35 mpg in the region FWIW

This is what he was trying to show

Afternoon AFD from LWX on potential storm

I'm hoping what Randy said goes into effect. Would be nice to see posts like we saw earlier complaining about how i got 7" instead of 20" and how the GFS sucks get deleted quickly. I have faith in our mods though

I tried to hotlink it... and it reverted to that image. I corrected it with the right image now @jaydreb its fixed now

I'm going to guess this was posted this morning in the main thread... but just in case it wasn't

That's the second time in about 5 minutes you have made me spit out my drink and laugh @WxWatcher007

I see 8" along i-95 to 10" along i81 for the ensemble mean

From 00z? yes lol

Could you explain that? Like is that a good thing or a bad thing? I am guessing we would want the vort to do that so the SLP stalls as we saw today for a while down around HSE/ORF?
