That does it, I'm chasing gradient.

This is ofc one of my favorite forum jokes. I can't remember the poster's name but feel like it was someone in or around Bel Air (?) If a model run favored the area it was a NE MD PUMMELING / NE MD PUMMELED -- always all caps. The all caps is very important Stand there sweating, hands shaking, barely able to stand upright, and warn them about the dangers of addiction

Agree with you both. I've gone once but just to Barcelona/Catalonia. Great city! Loved the whole area.

Either way, that is cool that you remember me I definitely remember you on Eastern, and many others of that crew/era who are still around.

I was trying to remember if I used this sn there (not my name). Maybe I did!

NE MD PUMMELED lol

Same. No one remembers me from Eastern as I mostly lurked. I think I joined in 2009 bc, you know, but had already been reading. Have learned so much reading over the years.

2.8". Aberdeen COOP had 2.49", highest I see in this morning's NWS reports

raining mostly-heavily for like 45 minutes

pouring

This is an age-old, circular, meta debate on all forums ever, which will never be solved, but imho it is better to mute posters than to post 15 times a day on how and why other people's posts suck, how they have always tended to suck, and how you expect them to suck going fwd. Not everyone is into using ignore features and that's fine. But, again only imho, the complaints, if excessive enough, become as annoying as the trash posts. Some complaining is cool though, like I am doing here

Happy Anniversary, mappy! Enjoy. None of us will ever forget your wedding day...

Wind still whipping. KMTN W 24 G 37 recently, sounds about right

1.8" in the gauge this morning for a total of 3.5"

lwx 9:19 pm AFD/obs ETA forgot to add 1.7" here so far .NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... 989 mb low pressure center is located not too far from Cape Fear NC. Latest NAM has the best initialization in terms of position and magnitude, the GFS is not too far off, while Euro is more than 100 miles off with its position. So far, up to 1.32 inches of rain have fallen at Leonardtown MD (St. Mary`s County) with up to 0.6 inch per hour rainfall rates being observed at several locations. Rain will continue to pivot north and west of the low pressure center overnight. Southern MD will see a brief lull in intensity in the next couple hours, but another batch of moderate/heavy rain currently over northeastern NC will move in overnight. Latest guidance continue to indicate areas east of I-95, particularly southern MD will see the heaviest rain. Risk of flooding rainfall will continue overnight until the rain begins to exit around daybreak Monday. Wind Advisories were issued earlier for the potential for 40kt gust with the initial surge of winds behind exiting low pressure. Strongest winds are likely between 12Z-18Z before they start diminishing during the mid-late afternoon.

Gotta love the literal snow-globe in front. I also took a long walk today. Do like Dec to be cold (disclaimer) but beautiful out.

Finally posting my long unawaited winter 2023-24 Mid-Atlantic forecast. I'm only posting the synopsis here, but that's ok because the full outlook is identical. Winter 2023-24 Forecast: Sooner or later we're gonna time something right. Maybe more than once. But maybe not. Snowfall: double digits at all 3 major airports (10-40")

Low of 23. Some areas of skim ice on the river this morning

likewise low of 24 and frosty

before I forget 12/7: T Halfway to last year's total (T x2)

strong work!
