87storms

i don't hate the 18z gfs so far. still a fish storm, but looks like a slight bump in precip.

i replaced soda with iced tea a while back, but it's coke...it's really not even close. however, the worst is when a place doesn't have the proper fountain drink carbonation/syrup mix. re the coke/pepsi difference..pepsi is slightly sweeter/flatter imo.

i'm guessing a hold or slightly west, but i could see the precip increasing a bit with the prefrontal stuff.

so is it gonna snow in frederick or not? i moved up here for a reason...and it wasn't just to escape moco home prices.

i'll accept a clean overrunning event instead of a wound up fish storm, and not all that far out into the long range.

i never even thought to do that lol. i usually take them with me while biking and have one midway. i have some halo's in my fridge...might have to try this.

yea, i could see that. i don't have any issues with juice or when it's cooked, just raw.

a sleeper pick for fruit are seedless mandarins. pretty clutch while hiking or anything outdoors.

now we're taking things a little too far lol, though i must say i have tried it and it was acceptable.

yea, i get the seasonal pollen allergy (april to june mostly) which i think must be somewhat intertwined into the skin of fruits thing, though as i get older i noticed my allergies are not as severe (unless i'm biking through weeds which will definitely require me to pop an allegra after).

cauliflower puree is strong. i've got that dish on lockdown. asparagus and zucchini are in my pasta rotation. and romaine lettuce ftw.

i have a similar allergy lol. it's mild, but the skin of apples/cherries/plums seems to trigger it. my mouth will itch for like 30 minutes afterwards.

yea, i think it's a product of a late phase as well. the lp takes time to build to the surface while waiting on the upper level energy.

i think our best storms have a better defined upper level low or a closed low, though i would have expected better front end precip. seems like there's just too many moving parts in the northern stream and too late of a phase, but still a close call for 95 east.

we're in the "let's pull a jan '00" portion of the program (well at least i am).

Maybe the gfs can pull a clippers comeback.

it's only 300 miles out to sea. there's still time.

to some extent this reminds me of an atlantic hurricane heading towards the obx and getting shunted out to sea by a frontal passage. i know it's not the same, but it just has that appearance...to me at least. re lwx disco...too many vorts. that's pretty clear on the guidance for a while. we do better on this side of the mountains when there's a stronger vort sliding underneath. i guess that sort of happens with this system. i'm not knowledgeable to understand the interaction mentioned by the out to sea storm and the approaching frontal boundary, but i recall that happening before. i'm game for 1-2". might even need to break the mtb out if that happens...haven't biked on powder yet, but it kinda sounds fun.

the general thesis of today is that we need a forum-wide snowstorm.

almost looks like this system is morphing into an arctic frontal passage lol.

i hope you're right with the fgen because the coastal low is about 200+ miles east of OC right now. if it's gonna trend west, it needs to start asap.

the coastal is a wrap in frederick...i'm pretty much done with that one. it's just wishcasting at this point. hopefully we can get 1-2" of powder from the upper level energy.

if this system doesn't work out, the pattern does look active to start february.

Yea you got me before I deleted my post lol. I thought about it and was like even the coastal areas are on the edge right now. General thoughts still stand tho.

Yea the overall setup really hasn’t changed much over the last few days. Trough is too far east. I’m holding out hope for a sharper/further west northern stream vort today but it’s looking less likely.
