I think there’s been enough modeling to say that chances of early season snow is above (well above?) normal for the D6-14 period. Still not even a 50/50 chance given climo, but the pattern is nice with the strong -EPO providing cold air and the remnant SE ridge setting the storm track near us or to our south. Bummer we’re not getting this 1 month (or even 2 weeks) later.
A healthy Andrews will obviously help. I wish they got the RBs more involved in the passing game. Maybe when Dobbins is back? The defense is getting better (and they’re playing worse teams) and Roquan is a beast. I think things are setting up well for them. Can they beat good teams in the playoffs? I’m still skeptical.
Going into the bye, the schedule looks very favorable for the ravens. 4 very winnable games in a row after the bye. I’d like to have a solid cushion over the bengals so that final game in Cincy isn’t decisive.
If BWI and RIC reach on Monday and DCA on Tuesday, then @yoda will win followed by you and @GramaxRefugee. Collectively not our best showing for sure relative to past years.
Seems like the Sunday-Tuesday period is going to score for BWI and RIC. DCA maybe not a lock yet, but euro and GGEM both have widespread 20s for lows which would probably be a sufficient airmass for DCA too.
Fantastic thread from @griteater this morning about 3 dominant Niña patterns and where this winter may fall in that mix. Spoiler alert, probably not in the least conducive pattern for mid-Atlantic snowfall.
That’s the timing when we could take advantage of a good pattern with climo becoming supportive of snow events. Dry would always be a risk with that look in a Niña, but need some cold air in December to have any chance. Fingers crossed.
I’d wager with how anomalous these first 10 days are, that seals the deal for a AN month. As we know, we drop >=+10F departures like Steph Curry shooting 3s, while we’ll eke out a couple -5F departures on our “cold” days.
