87storms

i remember talking to a met professor at umd (when i was considering going there for grad school) and we were talking about winter weather. i was saying how most of our storms are from nor'easters and he was saying from overrunning. i'm sure there's some overlapping, but he was generally right.

i know it's not snow, but a nice little storm showing up on the GFS friday/saturday. we're not short of storms these days. just gotta get the timing right.

Might be able to snag some fringe light snow with the upper level part, but overall quite a miserable storm for our area. Perfect temps. But for whatever reason, these storms just want to stay suppressed similar to last year. Definitely need that pattern reboot that looks to be coming later this month based on the LR thread. On the bright side, it’s only December 9th.

blanton's bourbon is obnoxiously difficult to find. they really are the hotcakes of bourbon.

they need a 3rd goto scorer at the 3 or 4 position. in storm news...i'm very much still in. gotta think it's all about the northern stream at this point and how much of a road block it will be in early december. usually we worry about temps at this time of year, so i have some doubts about how suppressed this storm will be. maybe we can fringe our way to a moderate storm...or in the wizards case, a 6th thru 8th seed.

i like the fact that there's at least a southern stream system. i could see where this bumps north again, assuming the northern stream isn't as intense (which is possible in early dec). early enough in the game for a positive trend starting asap.

the last few months remind me of 09/10. storm after storm starting in early fall...colder and colder each time until we got within striking distance of a cold enough high. gonna be a wild winter if this pattern holds, and the fact that we've already gotten snow in november says a lot about the type of pattern we're in.

interesting start to the pre-winter season so far. legitimately chilly out. if this type of pattern holds for a couple more months...

i have a new bourbon recommendation...filibuster. it's like russell's reserve sb, but a little cheaper. also, my cousin's friend owns a bar in bmore and apparently has whistle pig. i'm interested in trying that one.

this summer was crazy. i don't remember anything like this before. i think i've seen new bug species as a result lol. mosquitoes everywhere. i love spring/summer, but this was overly fulfilling. i'm actually pretty ok with cooler temps right now to reset things.

i'm ready for a bit of a respite. the humidity has been anti-ideal.

this heat has been tolerable, but the humidity has been off the chain. this is a legitimate heat wave that is reminiscent of what you'd experience in late june. what's helping at the moment is this blanton's (really good bourbon). that and russell's reserve single barrel are at the top of my list right now, in that price range. in other news, i think 4 day work weeks should be every other week. i'm all in for summer friday's. i'd say every week, but that's pushing it and if i actually loved my job (i like my job, but i don't love my job), then i would probably have a different opinion lol.

today's heat was legit

forecast bust today. not a single drop so far. that's 2 weekends in a row. maybe later on some showers will develop, but up to this point (aside from the humidity) it turned out to be a pretty nice day.

great sport, but they need to cut out the injury embellishments. it's obnoxious. otherwise, i like watching some soccer.
