87storms

The good stuff is so far south that I almost don’t even care lol. I think winter is showing hints that we’re gonna be dealing with another uphill battle to get a sizable snowstorm here.

Speaking of Denver, they did pretty well with the system that’s going to scrape us. Looks like 6” totals in the metro area.

At minimum, should at least be first flakes of the season for dc/annapolis. It would be pretty lame to go much longer not getting a trace in this pattern. We’re still at goose eggs at each airport. In Frederick, we already had a couple of coatings by mid-December…confirmed via camera roll.

They’re fun to bike and hike, though.

12k is noticeably drier this run for dc. This storm is fizzling on approach.

That’s the one that keeps me interested lol

UMD math grad here…some of those early courses were straight up weed out classes. I think I spent 20 hrs a week in cmsc106 lol. Kinda wish I kept all my textbooks to check out from time to time. Number theory was cool.

Didn’t have to take that in undergrad, but I did scrape by taking 3 semesters of physics. Those were not ones you want to fall behind on.

That was me during what turned out to be yesterday’s rain storm.

We’re in the psychobabbe portion of tracking. Is it gonna snow or not?

I need more of today’s weather…the kind where there’s a healthy combo of sun and light winds.

There’s a little stripe of vorticity along the m/d line that’s stayed pretty consistent on the models. Maybe that adds enough lift to get a coating here. That’s my bar. North shift is nice, but it’s gonna be finding some low dews. https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/?model=gfs&region=neus&pkg=Td2m&runtime=2025120318&fh=42

The days when models underestimated how often the mountains eat up our snow. Clippers were the source of many busts.

Valid point. That would be our path to victory, I think. NC won’t Iike that, but this is a competitive sport and I only care about the dmv.

Can’t get anything to go negative tilt when we need it to. Prob related to a lack of blocking which im assuming is at least partially due to an overactive northern stream. I need to do more research on indices…others here have way more knowledge on that.
