87storms

sun is peeking through here which is usually an indication of a broken system lol.  we'll see what happens when the rest of the energy rotates through.

Not really lol. 33 with snow TV on and off.

my bar is low, but it is firmly in the steady light snow category here.  i'd be ok with a few hours of this.

acceptable start in frederick so far.

been busy this morning, but visibility is actually pretty low looking towards the catoctins.  best way to describe the rate here is a pleasant light snow.

few flakes falling up here now.  probably more exciting at the ridge tops, but flaking nonetheless.

Just want this weekend to be over with...I'll restrain myself from throwing something at the TV if I hear about the bomb cyclone pummeling other places, smh This is absolutely awful

i used to get like that growing up...pissed off if it didn't snow or there was a bust, but there are some annoyances to constant cold and too much snow.  i know that's an unpopular opinion here, but i like shooting hoops and biking...can't do that when it's too cold or when there's 1-2 feet of snow.  i would try to find reasons why you wouldn't want it to snow and/or just consider moving to a place that does.  we're not a great snow town.  i don't care what anyone says on that.  our averages are skewed by the blizzards we get by having the gulf and atlantic to tap into, but our average high in january is low 40s, not low 30s.  it also helps to chase.  i got skunked from the first storm that hit dc so i drove down to bethesda and got my quick fix.  another thing that helps is redirecting your energy from a near miss storm towards trying to understand why it happened.

With EHT, you prefer the small batch or the single barrel?

Only tried small batch.

@Mappy, Eagle Rare is excellent and very affordable. For bourbon, Blanton’s, Weller, Knob Creek and 4 Roses are also very nice

I still want to try Weller. I don’t even know where to find one. Prob would need to visit Buffalo trace distillery, which is on my list of to do’s.

Good gawd. If anyone saw my deleted post…

 

What I was trying to say is that Blantons is my favorite but hard to get. But if you’re looking for a good mixing bourbon, you can’t go wrong with Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. Thirty bucks for a 1.75L bottle and 100 proof.

Buffalo trace products are legit. Blantons was much easier to find in Moco up until last year. That said, I think eh Taylor might actually be my favorite.

Have you tried Eagle Rare? It’s my favorite, and the only one I will drink straight up. 

That and woodford (my first non-jack whisky) were the first I would have just on the rocks without a mixer. Since then it’s all neat, but chilled via whisky balls/stones.

It's a Miller B with an invisible primary.

Yea or maybe even an Atlantic version of a miller A

Miller B or not, that sure does look like a standard miller B map lol

Here’s my shot at a post that may not age well … betcha all of the 0z runs up precip totals across the board.

The Nw trend is still a science.

Godfather is still my mixed drink of choice. Might have to roll with that tonight.

For me, there’s really nothing better that Cherry Coke Draft.  A draft Cherry Coke on tap is heaven.  

Speaking of which, I might have to try a cherry coke and whisky. Never really even thought to do that. I’ll usually just make it with cut limes and maraschino cherries.

probably been mentioned, but i just noticed the precip differences along the coast with the gfs/nam3k/12k are much greater than i expected (mostly been eyeing hampton roads).  tough forecast along the coast.  3k has practically nothing in se va whereas 12k/gfs has 0.5"+ precip.

it's much better for the delmarva/southern NJ folks (which this image doesn't show) -- initial wave doesn't suck for us here either

For what?

for the central md flizzard

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.

im gonna go out on a limb and guess that the GFS is gonna be well east and we are all gonna hate it. 

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.

Eating one now.  And so easy to peel.  Half the fun is getting the entire peel off in one piece, and this one is a success.

 

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.
