After the positive vibes from the 0z runs, 6z and 12z have me starting to creep towards the exit door.

Reaper has opening at his Days Inn location. 

I know I may be in minority but storm tracker and chuck interactions for some reasons always crack me up. Could be being on holiday is making me loopy.

I don’t think anyone can say it better than this. It is clearly a decision driven by ratings, revenues, and expectations. FSU should have been there and Bama out. But they don’t dare leave out the SEC champion.

Just a counterpoint but FSU did lose its Starting QB. Not to defend the albatross of CFB Playoff system. But you have to think that factored into this a lil bit.

Can we blame Angelos, or is this just the law of averages working it's way out? 

Live in St James area. Can confirm nice little round of hail came down. Wife was frantically running around worried her car was dented. Can report we got lucky there.

Is it clear out west along the i81 corridor right now?

Apparently redskins curse applies to snow storm thread starters.

It means we are toast

But I picoed that class for a reason.

back into hole for me.

With the addition of the 7th playoff team its easier than ever to reach the playoffs in the NFL. Even without Lamar, I can see the team winning at least 8-9 games. I don't see an as easy path for the Os.

Wind has now arrived in Hagerstown.

Can confirm it has it came through as well. Neat watching the data on Weather Station.

Is the icing materializing in Frederick, Hagerstown, and Martinsburg WV area? Have to drive from Cascade MD to Martinsburg WV in about 4 hours.

How many times in recorded history has that happened?  

I mean if you keep asking eventually you will find an acorn. 

Sun is out in Smithsburg. Very muggy

NWS busted on this forecast as far it goes in my book. It's plastering out in HGR.

Normally I would be bitching about this in April. But I hope it happens. I dont want to drive down to Staunton tomorrow morning. I hope 81 gets blitzed in the morning.

The AFC in general should be really entertaining in the next few years. Gotta think the Chiefs, Bills, Bengals are the odds on favorites next year.

Add ravens into that. Bengals though did really play a cupcake schedule and did benefit from staying healthy practically all year. I will be curious to see if they can keep it up with a 1st place schedule and a healthy ravens team.

Do I even try to figure that out?

But seroiusly...dafuq happened to the 06z GFS?

Visited the Guinness Brewery too early this morning.

Everyone wants better modeling.  The weenies did not understand the repercussions!

Dew points are falling in the western zones.  Upper 30s now in Garrett County.  Upper 40s in Hancock.

Just got the propane tank topped off at Deep Creek.  I checked the unit price vs this time last year….a whopping 45% increase.  

I’m suddenly rooting for a very mild winter.  

Glad I swapped over to hybrid fuel system this winter. Heat Pump and Propane backup.

I can attest to this. Been a similar pattern with storms dropping in from Hagerstown almost everyday and unpredictable in duration/intensity.

To be honest some of us direly need rain in the area. But not 4-6 inches worth.
