Because how December turned out has any bearing on how late January will turn out? Not saying it will come to fruition, but December is irrelevant as to whether or not it does. If that were the case we’d exclusively see either see wall to wall snowfest winters or 0” winters. Both of which rarely occur historically.

Um, ever hear of atmospheric memory.  Sure, The we are do index is high, but so is the we are F’d index.

I'm going to personally get us these storms or storm by sheer fucking will.  

This forum is an apocalyptic husk:  fights, ruins, fires everywhere.  Despair so wide even the Cowboy's kicker could put a football through it.   These are dangerous and heady times folks.   I am here for all of us and remember...

I will always love you.  Let's do this.

You just jinxed it with the cowboy kicker reference.  The goal post could be as wide as the universe and he would miss it!

Question: How do you identify an STJ at the 500mb level?

See the trough from Hawaii to off San Diego, under the ridge, That’s it.

First freeze of 2023!  28.2.  Sad.

Definitely blaming you if this thing goes sideways. 

No where to go but up… I mean as in temperatures, 70’s are a breath away.

My wife had a little reward for me after walking the dog…up to a balmy 17.  Merry Christmas everyone!  Cherish this non Florida iteration of Christmas!  

Any news from @IronTy?  I don’t even want to walk the dog in this weather, let alone camp in it.

9 for the low.  The worst part is the lack of humidity, between the dry air and central heat.  Getting over a cold too.  Sinuses are so painful I want to cry, but can’t.

Snow and graupel in the lowlands!  It’s a Christmas miracle!

Summer time squall line inbound…

Leaving at 5am tomorrow morning to get a jump on the weather.  Hoping to get the tent up before the cold air slams through which looks to be around 11am-12pm.  WSW says wind chills of -35F, it's gonna be an epic campout.  One of our game cams transmitted a pic this morning that looked like maybe 4" on the ground already.  We're going to try for three nights.  Really it depends on how well the dog can handle it.  

Have you informed your next of kin?  Seriously….

Yay!  Wind advisory!  

Cold and wind, we do it so well in winter.  Can’t wait for my wind advisory!

If I were a betting man, I'd take this euro depiction of the result of the frontal passage over the GFS. But it's christmas so I'll believe in the GFS

It’s got .1 over DCA!!!!  Where  is the ‘It’s Happening’ gif

I see many are in the bargaining and denial phases…don’t worry acceptance is liberating.

Few general things ive gathered so far:

-Trust nothing outside of 5 days and even then trust it like you would a wet fart.

-Keep the digital snow maps to yourself

-This climo is hot garbage 

-Ji is the king of optimism here

-ALEET

 

Close enough for now!

Therapy?

I Consider this more like a lost clown who finally found the circus.

You’ll fit in just fine here, just don’t ask “how much for Philly!”

Good Afternoon Mid-Atlantic forum. First time commenter, long time follower.

Allow me to introduce myself. My government name is Kyle. I am a 30yo Wilmington native and SE Pennsylvania transplant. I am an untrained weather enthusiast who has loved this science since I was a kid. Particularly the winter weather as most of us in here do. I was to be a Met major going into college but chose to join the military instead.

One way to describe my passion for this hobby is that I woke up this afternoon (working 3rd shift) and saw the full on cave of the 12z GFS. My wife must’ve thought someone in my family died because the look of defeat on my face was enough to cause her concern.

Anyway, happy to finally be in here amongst like minded individuals.

Brave!  If you came for therapy, check out the Panic Room….anyways….

We need to start a new LR thread.  This one lost its mojo.

I thought that is what the panic room was…

#EpicPatternFail #RapidBreakdown #Reload?

Wash, rinse, repeat until we score, or 2024…

Should someone open the long range January 2023 thread?  I mean since we all seem to be into weather S&M

I can’t believe it took this long to open the 2022-2023 Panic Room!  Usually it opens in October!

Well guys, looks like my shitty pbp is back!  I'm going to do my best and give you my worst. 

Hmmm, sh!t just got real with you back in the USA…you aren’t allowed to go anywhere until April!

It would be nice to get a big early season hit because I’ve noticed the forum is a lot less volition and reactionary in seasons where the snow fix has already been satiated somewhat. 

I don’t know, once you get a taste of the good stuff…just makes you want more….plus there is JI, who always wants more better.  I think he was complaining 2nd half of Feb 2010…meanwhile I was hiring folks to shovel off my flat roof from 3ft of snow.

The dumb angle is always a problem. 

And rates, if you don’t have 5”/hr rates it will never accumulate on the roads!
