  1. I feel like AN precip/BN temps would make friends with most people on the board (I'm assuming that's what you meant). I'm not rooting for it to be hot. My threshold is usually 95, but my preference is upper 70s lol.
  2. This winter continues to remind me of ‘19/20. It’s just too mild and we have blocking, alright…in the southeast. It’s gonna be a spicy summer if that type of pattern continues…though the t-storms could be fun.
  3. This airmass is definitely a little punchy in comparison to the last month. It's actually kinda fun from a weather geek perspective, but not so fun if you have to be outside in it for too long. What's even more impressive is how quick it's expected to warmup. That PV is a straight up hit and run with the wind direction shifting to the south as early as tomorrow night...and 50 within reach on Sunday (assuming sunshine).
  4. Was looking at the last couple runs of the GFS and at least via the Op, it looked like the main difference was how it handled the Pac energy midweek. For whatever reason, the 12z GFS being flatter with that wave led to a better downstream outcome.
  5. Current regional obs: https://weather.rap.ucar.edu/surface/displaySfc.php?region=bwi&endDate=20230203&endTime=-1&duration=0 Wider view: https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/sfc/sfcobs/latestsfc.html
  6. Yea, it's "spit freezing on contact" type of cold lol. I do remember it being a pretty cool resort, though. Pico seemed nice, too. Even encountered a snow squall of sorts driving through Albany (or somewhere around there). I've been to Vail a couple times as a kid and the skiing was vast, but not nearly as cold as what I experienced that weekend in VT.
  7. You'll be aight...just gotta ramp up the ski lodge breaks.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. I’ve seen non-accumulating snow falling once and 2 Jeep toppers, one occurring overnight. You haven’t missed much.
  11. We’re gametime here through mid -March. Worth tracking up to that point.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. It's a trackable week...let's put it that way. Whatever falls, falls.
  21. 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.
  22. Re hr84...soundings are a close call...maybe lift/rates would be able to overcome things further north (assuming the forcing trends further north).
