Psychologically, we humans have an ingrained tendency to believe pessimism protects us from pain and disappointment. It doesn't, of course. So it goes here. Endlessly reflecting on our own and each others' psychological status, every season, every week, every day and hour. As much or more discussed than weather, fr. Quite a hobby innit? Can't forget to add the obvious: most of us are also very ill when it comes to snow.

Welp, no snow yesterday. And I'm doing ok today but slept SUPER heavily and missed the squall and somehow even the warning ?! . Went out at 8 a.m. measured a few spots on the deck, 0.2" as average. Abingdon mesonet snow depth was same at 8 a.m. but had more earlier. Bel Air spotter 0.2" Neither place that close to here idk outta energy again lol 0.2" it is. Happy new year to all!

Folks. I have a dental surgery tomorrow. Yes, on NYE. While some are chasing mind-bending LES, I will be out there chasing..up to .5" if everything breaks right in Harford Co.

Don't forget bitter. The trifecta.

Does anyone else routinely have trouble copy/cut/pasting text (e.g., LWX text products) into posts? What's your method oh master @yoda ? It works about half the time for me. Sometimes it helps to paste first into like a gmail, doc etc, sometimes makes no difference. Browser tinkering and sign out/in no difference. My attachments are not over limit. Not really important lol I was going to post the winter commuting hazard for NEMD tomorrow morning but have been wondering and usually give up.

43, gusts into the 30s.

A little blue now on the western horizon.

50, overcast, light S/SW winds BUT NOT FOR LONG

That's what I'm talkin about people. Dude knocked off almost 6 degrees in 2 hours. We can do it, too. It's happening. Let's do this.

Who else is tracking tf out of this cold frontal passage? Torch begone. LFG. lol

Got you. It's quite a pic. Agreed on Ian's talent (and wish he were still here).

Whoa! Incredible photo. Where was it?

Facts. I moved here in the 90s and began to see them, and pretty regularly, the "APG" eagle population. Even then Conowingo was the hottest spot I knew of. They are so much more widespread now, it is wonderful. Lucky enough to see them nearly every day here on the Bush River but to N Balti Zen's comments...no...have never really gotten used to how amazing it is to see them, they take my breath away every time.

It's...precipitating. Freezing rain/rain mix, possibly. Car is encased in a light coating of ice, stepping stones slippery, street seems just wet. 31

He was among my wxtwitter follows for quite a while when I was on there and I agree with this assessment. I didn't know it was a thing, but he did sort of seem to relish crushing EC snow weenie dreams Note, I am not commenting on his or anyone's specific thoughts on this winter.

From 2 pm AFD Another punch, or perhaps just extension, to the gusty winds occurs heading into early evening as the potent trough axis moves overhead. Guidance was consistent with minimal drop off in winds, especially on the hilltops and ridges. Thus, all wind headlines are in effect until 10 PM. In particular, downslope-favored areas just east of the Alleghenies could see some very high winds given the wind aloft and profiles in BUFKIT; it would not shock me if one or two wind gusts to hurricane force were noted somewhere between US-219 and US-220 this evening. Given the number of power outages in some areas and the very cold temps tonight, this additional wind could prove high impact. Winds will diminish the second half of the night as high pressure quickly approaches from the west by daybreak.

Don't forget the ongoing meta analysis of the emotional rollercoastering. Also the trolling to mock and/or incite the emotional rollercoastering. And ofc the extra-meta posts like this one

.45 here. Two hours later:

Another ice pic, from yesterday. Sun breaking through abundant clouds/virga made for an eerie light.

Did the Norrisville slantsticker get blowback? lol...it's 6.2" in the PNS from yesterday evening

Low temp 18. 16 at the mesonet station a few miles inland.

That does it. Pitchforks.

Asking a normie neighbor. That's dedication.
