  1. I used to rock the soft taco supreme meals back in college...with the hot sauce. Brings back memories of the days when I could literally eat anything and not gain weight.
  2. Those temps are right around what experienced in Killington on a HS field trip back in '94 (towards the summit). I think we spent like 30 minutes on the trail. I even started getting white, burning dots on my thumbs. I think we went to Pico the next day where it "warmed up" and snowed. It felt tropical in comparison. Long story short, that type of cold is no joke.
  3. I’ve seen non-accumulating snow falling once and 2 Jeep toppers, one occurring overnight. You haven’t missed much.
  4. We’re gametime here through mid -March. Worth tracking up to that point.
  5. Decided to get some action in today via hiking a section of the AT to Weverton Cliffs (which is basically an overlook along the AT). Probably did about 3-4 miles total as I ended up going past Weverton (which is at ~800 ft) up the AT for about a mile or so to see where things level off (got up to about 1200 ft). Was admittingly nice to see some snow on the ground. Wasn't too cold out either with light wind and a mixed bag of veiled sun/clear skies.
  6. You know it's been a winter when we get hyped over a half inch of snow that falls overnight, and then spend most of the day trying to figure out what next winter's ENSO state will be. I'm only kidding...but not really.
  7. Most of the wx stations near me show 32F. I’d be a little cautious near the cities with dews the way they are, but it’s a low bar event, so whatever happens happens. Hopefully, the flakes fly around enough to get some winter vibes.
  8. To round out the snow we received 2014/15... Feb 14 - the infamous snow squall that put down a couple inches in about an hour or two. Feb 16 - several inches of powder Feb 21 - the storm that didn't have a great track, but attacked a stubborn, eroding arctic high. Dropped at least 4-5". March 1 - ice event March 5 - Few more inches
  9. We were already cookin' that winter by this time. In my archives, I've got a coating on Nov 26, 2014, several inches on Jan 6, 2015, and a couple of coaters on Jan 21 and Jan 26. That was a classic, wall to wall winter...this winter has been absolutely nothing like that in any way, shape, or form.
  10. It would be something else if we manage highs in the 20s Saturday and rain Monday, as depicted on the GFS. Might as well just cancel winter had that point, though considering the Euro basically has no storm whatsoever I don't know what to expect. Hopefully, we can weasel our way into some kind of winter this week while we're on the cold side of the boundary.
  11. The weather today has been nothing short of a miracle. Just got a bike ride in at the Frederick watershed...trail was in great shape.
  12. There's been accumulating snow in Henderson, NV today. Yes, a place that's capable of reaching 110+ degrees in the Summer has received more snow than we have.
  13. It's a trackable week...let's put it that way. Whatever falls, falls.
  14. Blurb from LWX on that one... Come Saturday, the trough/vortex will move into Maritime Canada with height rises locally. As an incoming trough moves through the Ohio Valley, the interaction of the northern and southern stream energy will be key to see if there is any precipitation/storm threat Sunday into Monday. Have maintained low end chance POPs for most with some wintry potential.
  15. Re hr84...soundings are a close call...maybe lift/rates would be able to overcome things further north (assuming the forcing trends further north).
  16. Actually, it nudged significantly north, but temps are fringe.
  17. The late week precip looks like it's nudged north again. Maybe we can get a January 30, 2010 out of it (wishcasting).
  18. In honor of the snowstorm we're getting at some point in the next 2 weeks, I've decided to crack open a Sam Adams Alpine Lager. I don't know how I feel about it yet, but I played a fair amount of basketball today and it's cold, and there's football on.
  19. That McCaffrey run was Marshawn vibes. I do have Eagles/Chiefs, though. Pretty good matchups overall.
  20. Yea, I think that late week system needs to speed up or it's just going to get suppressed OTS as modeled with very little NS interaction. Or maybe that midweek wave needs to be the main one before the cold/dry settles in.
  21. Canadian is a classic way for us to get a 1-3/2-4" overrunning snow here. Whether it's right or not is a whole 'nother topic.
  22. Still a whole lot of nothing on the GFS further north. The entire system gets sheared out with none of those boundary waves looking like big precip producers. The late week system looks like the one to keep an eye on given the cold airmass in place.
  23. Primo biking weather today (Little Bennett) made me care less about whether it snows. Trail was a little muddier than I expected, but the sun angle is still low, so that kind of makes sense.
  24. I'd like a snowstorm, but I'd also approve of it being bookended by temps in the 50s with abundant sunshine.
