Anyone trying to bank much on the coastal south of I-70 was definitely in prayer mode. The RGEM runs were fun in a cosmic way and it was great to joke around for a time, but unless other guidance started showing something similar, I just remained skeptical and cautionary, waiting to see if it kept it up and others joined in.

I thought the NAMs, the NSSL, the HRRR this morning, the ARW, the NMM, and the HREF would start to come around to the globals but they have shown the exact opposite. It would be a brutal beat for the local NWS offices, and that’s my main reason I feel down. If you haven’t worked in a NWS office, you don’t realize the amount of trust you lose busting a forecast like this and you get berated from all different directions and have to re-earn trust again. It would suck and I would feel for my colleagues. People are stupid and suck and don’t understand weather and it makes the matter worse.

I’m also still recovering from a back injury. I’m much better than a week ago, but I’m not 100%. I am irritated of how this year started and I have other personal stuff with family I’m not gonna talk about. It’s a tough time for me and seeing my friends here get pasted would make me happy. Hopefully everyone enjoys the snow today. I know I’d be out driving around in it, having an absolute blast. It’s such a joy for me and I miss it and I miss home.


.

Just want to say that I myself am dealing with some yet undiagnosed health issues currently and really feel for you right now. I never had the this is it feeling with this system, yes I know it is not scientific but call it mothers instinct. Hang in there and you can always count on me for yummy food posts in Banter. 

Just a pretty light snow fall up here so far. Nothing that I would warrant for a WSWar for as of yet. Just barely covering the grass would maybe eyeball about 2" started around 5ish this morning. 

Eyeballing about an inch here. Tiny flakes falling.

Just saw someone b*tching on an Anne Arundel County wx facebook page that she is disappointed in the snow forecast because "Winter is supposed to be over"....I said huh? We're in the heart of winter...coldest climo period right now.  Some people you just cant teach weather to no matter how many times lol

Yea. I usually expect bigger storms in January and especially February. At least in this area.

We had Gottleib's Flying carpet.  Picked it up used in 1978.  Lots of fun!
 

 

I don’t remember what we had. But loved going down and clicking up a score. She got it to help pass time in between doing laundry. With 6 in the family there was a lot of laundry.

Ok who can remember pinball machines when it was 5 balls per game and 5 games for a quarter. Buddies and I would “requisition” a shopping cart from the local grocery, go out picking up soda bottles until it was full, take them in for the deposit and it was cheeseburgers and pinball for the rest of the day.

My mom bought a pinball machine and we had it in our basement. Loved that thing!

I'm so sorry to hear that!  I have a co-worker who uses a lot of vegan cheeses.  Do you think they might be an alternate to normal cheese? 

Actually just got one. Going to try it with cashew milk in grits tonight. 
 

I am hoping my issue is just my eczema has gotten bad this year and excessive heat is causing the hives. Going to try an oatmeal bath tonight. But will let you know how the vegan cheese worked.

I really wonder what would have happened if they never released “photograph”.  Would they be as universally panned?  Their first few songs were harmless.

Personally I am not a fan of bands who sing constipated. So nope doomed from the start.

Made some deep dish pizza on Monday night.....It was really good.  

Next time I'll get a pic. 

NIce! And yes would love to see others creations. 

I am going to have to start altering my cooking/baking. Getting tested for a dairy allergy. Broke out in hives 4 times last week. Have removed all ideas of what could cause it and did dairy last. Had cream cheese on Wed on seed crackers and broke out again 30 min after eating. Have to be off dairy for the next 3-4 weeks then test again. Already looking into alternatives. 

Hello all. What is everyone up to?

Just paid our first college tuition bill. The older Miss J has Dual enrollment English and her class is in the second semester.

LOL, I know

It is like you are playing slots! 

After 3 days of gray overcast skies was nice to wake up to the glorious sun this morning. And shining all day has me feeling pretty good. Get out and enjoy the sun today if you can. 

Anyone else having issues with keeping warm these past two days? This damp has me chilled even in the house. And yes I know I can up the thermostat but I don't want to. Sitting here typing with my old lady half mittens on to keep my finger joints working. 

From the Jones Family, yes that is what the J is for. Merry Christmas to you all!

Squall line just got here. Rain blowing sideways. 

The Airing of grievances are going to be EPIC this year.

Hey guys serious question....does jelly go bad?

If you leave it opened in your fridge for a very long time, yea you will have a science experiment. That being said jelly/jam does not last long here so only once did I ever find a jar that got shoved back in the fridge to turn into an experiment. 

On another note... Happy Winter Solstice! Or as Equestrians call it the start of getting our daylight back to ride!

12/19/09 definitely a top storm for me. Cold powder for 95 is hard to get, especially in December. 

It was that storm along with the 2 in January that put us on the path to getting a new house with a garage. Mr. J grew up in the South and our old townhome had parking spots. Him and I digging out two cars three times was enough for him. And I grew up in OH where a garage was almost standard. And you used it to park your cars in. Found a townhome with a double car garage and he has been a happy camper.
