Flakes flying here 37f -
Temp actually rose here from 41 to 43. All downhill from here tho.

December 22-23, 2022: Warm Rain to Arctic Chill
Ralph Wiggum replied to WxUSAF's topic in Mid Atlantic
You're right, my exaggeration got the best of me. Just saying watching the temps plummet is cool and all but it really isn't mega rare. Most of us are here for snow tho, not cold fronts. -
Mentioned 2 weeks ago we didnt want a polar vortex blast overwhelming the pattern....that we wanted it to slowly settle in the central US and bleed east, not plowing thru. Well, here we are. Cool to see the temp drops but this catalyst is now going to reset the pattern and after it pulls back into the HL blinds are closing for a period. There's light at the end of the tunnel but we have to patiently trudge thru the PAC Puke to get there.

December 22-23, 2022: Warm Rain to Arctic Chill

Another overhyped arctic front by the msm and the prez. Unless in the upper Midwest or down wind of the great lakes this is a nothingburger. We get 2 of these a season. Very cold? Sure...but thats also relative. I get it....travel day and all that. I'm just looking at obs and reports and I'm far from impressed. Just being honest. Avocados underperformed -

Bought mine day after the big Jan 2016 storm. Used it once since. You can pass the blame onto this guy. -
In a way that's cool and all for a White Christmas...but too much of a good thing. Last thing I want to be doing the morning of the 25th is thinking survival and digging escape routes just to be able to get out of my home in the event of a medical emergency or otherwise. A white ground and mood flakes is plenty nuff for me for Dec 25 tbh. BTW off-topic but you're an old head like me.....taking my 13 year old to see his first concert next Sept...Skynyrd/ZZ Top. Not a massive fan of either but I enjoy their hits and am looking forward to bonding with the boy, enjoying the night and the music. You are soooo lucky to have seen Floyd in their prime. I envy this!

Weather geek is all you had to say. Just subscribed. Thanks for the tip

Dafuq is this guy?

I'm sorry for your loss.
-
I will agree with this
-
Yep. We are still going to require extreme patience tho because even with the looks we both posted, the arctic air is still going thru reload and is going to need time. When it delivers? We just can't know.

I had a friend years ago tell me "for all intents and purposes" was really "feral intensive porpoises". Needless to say we are no longer friends....I refuse to surround myself with such negativity....and stupidity.

End of the GEFS is certainly workable. WPO/EPO help, split flow out west, flat trof in the East.....gradient type look. Progressive and not signaling a bombing out low crawling up the coast, but this is a common way to stack up a few 2-4"/3-6" systems verbatim based on that pattern and being just to the N of the boundary. Conjecture at this range but at least it seems maybe we are just beginning to see the back side of the crud looks.

He was part of our family every evening and we welcomed him into our living room on the daily as such. Legend!

Yeah, the primary is too far N. If the coastal had phased with the ull and bombed out we would have been in businesses .. as per some guidance had it this time last week.
-
HRRR has a stray snow shower. Sad times are these when we merely track anafront snows and flurries.
-
I feel like that map verbatim used to produce....1037hp anchored over Maine, NE flow as coastal takes over, half decent antecedent cold air mass. This hobby may require a move N and W to higher elevations in the coming years for me personally....far N and W.

We need a meme....stat!
-
What storm?
-
I appreciate this but I think alot of the etiquette here is also learned with experience. I've been on these boards since the mid 90s and alot of the etiquette is learned over time. I had my phase of pure weenie-ism but I learned there's a time and more importantly a PLACE for obs, for banter, etc. Trolling is not accepted cross region nor otherwise...something we should all respect.

Same. 2 of the greatest songs of all-time!
