It's even worse for us SE weenies. The difference between a shut-out pattern and a ripe one is the difference between a 99.9% fail rate and a 95% fail rate. And yet we still track. Says something about us.

Wow. Cold from Baffin to Yucatan. We all know it won't verify that cold, but we could be pretty chilly across much of NA.

Looks like the northern great plains might be a wee bit chilly right before Xmas.

As a North American sports fan who did not grow up with Soccer, I'm conflicted about the whole concept of penalty kicks. I really like how soccer really embraces the concept of a tie as a realistic and reasonable outcome: not everything in life is a clear cut win or loss. Ties seem to disgust and almost enrage NA sports fans. Since the NFL has gone to the current overtime rules ties have become exponentially more common and I have a real fear that backlash against the more common tie will lead to the NFL adopting something like the NCAA format, which I dislike. Of course in a knockout tournament you can't have ties because SOMEONE has to move forward to the next round. But it sucks to see 90+ minutes of game decided on just a small facet of the game itself. I can 't think of any better alternative though.

NAD1983 is a godless Communist plot. In my house we stick to NAD27.

BAM storm.

I wonder if Mappy's wedding invitations listed the ceremony time in z.

And so it begins.

We are being served.

I became familiar with him pooping in the tropical thread. Don't think I remember seeing him around here before. I find it difficult to understand the psychology of habitually showing up on message boards just to annoy people. I mean multiple years.

Right before Xmas that year there was a major storm in the NC coastal plain. 13 inches on Cape Hatteras. 15 inches in Wilmington. Only had about 4 inches at my area in Cumberland County but it was still nice. I have a distinct memory of playing in the snow and sleet on Christmas Eve. Oddly enough I have no memory of the subsequent Xmas. I also have no memory of the pattern flip in January but I am told it was epic in a bad way.

Amazing what a stout block can do.

Will need the PNA to be less hostile to get the direct shot of cold. Of course Some -PNA may be useful in fighting off the cold/dry tendency of big -EPOs for you MA guys/gals. Not so much for us SE weenies.

Eric Webber is usually on top of EAMT and jet extensions. Waiting to see what he has to say.

Cynicism? Or realism?

That dendrite rush.

If Chuck says a +PNA might be coming, I'm ready to listen.

I'm driving up to Fredericksburg the 12th - 14th for business. I expect you guys to show some hospitality for a SE forum visitor with a little bit of the ole white powder.

Difference between GFS op and GEFS lately set me looking for some info about ensembles in gneral. Some interesting info here. https://library.wmo.int/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=12962#.Y4uYXnbMKUk

Isn't the Buffalo-to-Bermuda express a standard track? Its how Bermuda gets most of their blizzards.

Insert standard "Trust the warmest model" joke that's not really a joke. Normally I would ignore long range op compared to ens, but maybe the higher resolution of the op is allowing it to "see" the super persistent PNA more accurately.

Which model(s)?

I give that one the SE Visitor Seal of Approval(tm)

You changing your picture would be like my dad getting a nose ring; it would undermine the very foundations of my reality.

I don't know anything about it one way or another, but I am curious why you believe that FIFA would want this? They think its more exciting?
