I am sure glad this December is shaping up to be a great one per all the Twitter feeds people keep posting on the MD LR Thread! What's that? That was last week? Shorts on Christmas? Tweeting long scientific looking posts does not actually equate to snow? We will be rockin' in Mid-January?
On the plus side, and has been commented a lot I believe, this year is already better than last as far as not having to deal with a frying pan December. I know we in or near the LSV were already at 5-10" by this point but a warm December and Christmas is the worst. Still could be warm by the time we get there but so far so good with only occasional spikes in temps.
Current mid range models really suggest an unsettled, up and down week for the LSV...a soaking rain Monday, temps near 60 on Tuesday, Snow on Wed (at least falling), potential for 2-3" of rain over the rest of the week then up near 60 again Sat.
I will chime in my agreement to this thought. The Canadian is the Jim Carrey "so your saying there's a chance" model. Its on par with the NOGAPS/NAV outside of a day or two range.
That is a lot of flying for you. I go to Florida about 13 or 14 times a year so I have to go but it just seems every time I go we have a storm. I am in PA for 3 weeks and the weather is serene then off to Florida and its tracking time.
It would not surprise me if @Blizzard of 93 reads this and suggests I go to Florida more often so he gets more snow :-)
12Z Euro is a significant storm. Too Warm for LSV but too far out to worry about that. I am unfortunately supposed to be flying back from Florida that Saturday so as usual travelling in the winter sucks.
And when you say nickle and dime you mean penny and nickle with snow total maps like this from the afternoon Euro....Ha. 12Z Euro kept the snow tonight as did the Rgem, Nam dries up the stuff coming over the mountains. I know, you do not like any snow maps :-).
We go to Ft Ritchie about once a month to walk the block....good place to get away from crowds. That and Pen Mar up the road. Pen Mar had no snow today. Wrong side of the hill.
