    looks like hagerstown is first in line for that band. i was contemplating a bike ride or even a hike, but both might be a little sketch in this weather.
  2. 87storms
    i'm game. just saw the radar...i might be on the southern fringe, but looks interesting for the northern tier.
  3. 87storms
    i'm under the frederick blue. decent gusts just rolled through here already, whipping things around for a bit.

    Let's cut the bs...is it gonna snow or not? Math is fun, though. Was recently trying to figure out why we drop a zero when doing long division of fractions. Not sure it was ever really taught in school, or I was just not paying attention (possibly dreaming of making the nba). Hint: cross multiplying. Re how it relates to the weather. Trig is a good start...probably some asymptotic functions thrown in as well to remind us of downsloping, low level warm air intrusion, and dry slots.

    maybe in dc. gonna be more challenging up here in the valleys/ridges of frederick. it hasn't been all that warm the last 4 months, so while it's been a typical la nina winter, it's mostly due to it being dry. we'll need to see how much the se ridge flexes in the coming weeks.

    yesterday's temps were awesome. looking forward to march madness soon and then cherry blossom updates. it can snow again if it wants, but i'm starting to turn the page on winter.

    another burst of wind is cranking here right now. the 4-5am shower was legit, too. woke up to rain blasting my windows.

    The radar is reminiscent of early fall with precip having an easier time along the m/d line. Have had some soakers here since late afternoon…more towards Hagerstown. The milder temps were welcome today.

    My desire to play hoops or bike in 80 degree weather followed by an early evening severe thunderstorm is growing.

    I’m craving a snowstorm…but I’m also craving warmer weather. The best part of this time of year is that it can offer both.
  11. 87storms
    march 2014 was prolific for snow around here from start to finish. march 5, 2015 had a legitimate snowstorm...don't recall anything else substantial (looking through old pics and see a freezing rain event to start the month).

    I haven’t been out yet, but gotta think about 1-2” here. I did look out the window a couple times overnight and the flake size was significant under the yellows. Roads are wet, as expected, but it looks cool on cars/grass/trees.
  13. 87storms
    lwx mentioned in one of their previous disco's that the downsloping effects (cold area filtering in from the nw) in these types of scenarios is one of the reasons why temps are often times lagging too far behind the precip. that said, there are times when it does work, so who knows.

    Had a raccoon lead the way on a trail today for about 5 mins until it finally exited stage right once another biker showed up. That was a first.
  15. 87storms
    I aggressively approve of the nam output.
  16. 87storms
    2m temps don’t equal ground temps. I have very low expectations of accumulation on roads, etc, after a week of late March weather, but I suppose there might be some slick sidewalks if it comes down moderately. Maybe I’m thinking I still live in Bethesda, but we shall see. I’m certainly rooting for it.
  17. 87storms
    nam 12 aside, seems like there's consensus at this point of a light event. with the low heading essentially ots, need to hope the initial frontal stuff overperforms.
  18. 87storms
    Was at the game tonight. First time there in a while. Iowa wasn’t even hitting the rim on half those threes. Such a nice arena though…that place needs a star.
  19. 87storms
    potentially savage trade by the wiz, which they needed. i've migrated towards the hornets lately and liking the trez pickup for them (don't like that one for the wiz). oh, and i heard it might snow this weekend.
  20. 87storms
    so you're saying a good indica (or part of a gummy) can help? asking for a friend.
  21. 87storms
    sounds like some good mountain biking lol. i do like skiing, but haven't been in years (thought seven springs was fun, though). the west vs east skill level thing might actually be similar for mtb...i'm learning there's some pretty rugged stuff here even if the west has higher terrain (though the biking does look awesome out there and new england is a goal as well). side note...the mtb nationals was held at gambrill this past fall.
  22. 87storms
    interesting. usually there's a defined shorthwave or surface low, but this one just kinda pops precip from the 700 layer it seems (i'm not knowledgeable enough to know exactly). i'll have to look into the details/caa more. also, after i posted i checked out some of the other models (icon/cmc) and was expecting a whiff, but it looked decent lol. maybe most people are just ready for a secs/mecs at this point, but i'm good with a stats padder.
  23. 87storms
    i think another point about this system is how much of it will stick after a week in the 50s. i know it can if temps fall quick enough, but it's another variable working against us here. i've been looking at the gfs periodically and was trying to figure out how it's even getting that stripe of snow. i guess it's due to mid level forcing because the surface low is ots.
  24. 87storms
    did a loop over at little bennett this afternoon. ground was still muddy in spots, but doable. definitely felt good to get a hiit workout in.
  25. 87storms
    i'm considering buying a home in frederick. this potential storm is going to play an important role in my decision-making. i'm kidding...sort of.
