  1. We could use a little more height. The commentator just made that same point. It's something I've noticed with most of the USA squads. Just imagine if even a fraction more of our elite athletes chose soccer (which I played growing up) instead of basketball (my favorite sport) and football (probably my 2nd favorite lol). Soccer just is not ingrained in our culture (and city/street culture) in the same way that our other sports are, which makes this current run even more impressive.
  2. USA has shown the slightest of speed adv early on, but that Dutch spacing especially on offense is why they're up right now.
  3. Sounds like winter arrives soon...literally and figuratively. I have a mish mosh of mostly potential/unconfirmed plans through January. Once I book a trip I'm expecting a tropical storm to begin showing up in the GOM with a 1050 high over Lake Ontario.
  4. I'm in line for these. Doesn't look too wild on radar, but I'm in kind of a breezy spot on the downslope side.
  5. La Nina clouds have made another appearance. Ah well, at least it's not cold out.
  6. It got legitimately foggy here. Wind seems to have picked up slightly, though, and I can see the stars (or Jupiter), so I don't expect the fog to last too much longer.
  7. The weather the last week has been a November masterpiece. Generally clear skies and nice temps with timely rain. This is the way to segue into December.
  8. The pattern the last few days has been a work of art. Clear skies all around. Near perfect late Fall weather. I'll be ready for snow by December...already starting to get that craving.
  9. That's a Monday, though. Might have to move the start date to Dec 9.
  10. Perfect weather as far as I'm concerned. We're generally abysmal at November snow anyway. December is game on, though.
  11. Another day where having the sun out helped significantly. This is a much better pattern so far than that cloudiness that prevailed for much of last November and really throughout most of the Winter extending into April.
  12. Might have already had more sunny days this month than last November. I'm hoping that ends up the trend...like Denver...no wasted clouds. Ideally, it will be sunny or stormy. I don't need consistent 45 degrees and gray lol.
  13. Nah, the Nam was showing this showery stuff moving through around this time. Just a mix near dt Frederick (more like frosty raindrops). II was foggy at the top of Catoctin...I have a feeling they probably were getting snow up there.
  14. Looks like the Blizzard of 2016. Meanwhile, if we get a snow shower down here east of the Apps in this type of a northern stream pattern it's a win lol.
  15. Cold, but sunny here to start the day. Let's see if we can evade clouds for at least half the day. Nam3k shows a snow shower moving through near the M/D line.
  16. The current satellite imagery is an exact replica of last year. Sunny skies to the south with a stream of clouds rolling in from the nw across northern md. Must be a La Nina thing with the combo of the jet stream alignment and just being closer to the Appalachians/Great Lakes. Every time I looked at the satellite last year it seemed like the Upper Midwest and interior NE was typically cloudy with debris clouds across the mid-atlantic.
  17. I could do without the cold/wind, but the sun is helping. If that's the new pattern, that would be a marked improvement over adding clouds to the equation (which seems like was the case more often than not last Winter/early Spring). The latter makes me want to consider moving out West lol. Long story short, cold/wind >>> clouds/cold/wind.
  18. Not too surprised by that. The elevation can change pretty quickly driving up Hamburg road to the top of Gambrill. My ears usually pop during that drive (I live nearby and mtb there quite a bit). Didn't see anything on the ground here, but I'm only at 300-400 ft and judging by the radar I was probably right on the southern edge of it.
  19. BWI: 16.1" DCA: 14.8" IAD: 18.1" RIC: 8.5" Tiebreaker (SBY): 9.2"
  20. I'm still not all in on the Commanders. It's just not fun enough, but I am glad they kept the burgundy and gold. They got that part right. It just boggles me how they couldn't have gone with something with historical meaning like the Redtails or Hogs. Recently, I was even thinking that Pilots could be cool given the aerospace presence here. Meh. Ravens just seem to have more of a fun factor going for them these days.
  21. as it often times happens after a frontal or storm passage (for whatever reason), clouds have rolled in. hoping by mid afternoon (after the terps game), the sun takes over again after that UL energy moves through...with these temps, it's needed.
  22. my knees and back are genuinely enjoying this because I'm not out there riding rocky terrain on a hardtail lol (I need a full suspension at some point), but otherwise...yea, sunshine would be cool.
  23. 2009/10 started with a bunch of these mid-atlantic slow moving systems in the Fall. I know that winter is highly unlikely to be repeated, but a blocky pattern is a good thing around here for crystals.
  24. after looking at the radar last night and this morning, all i have to say to bmore is mazel tov. you guys have been/are doing very well with this early fall noreaster.
  25. I noticed it driving down 15 from near Thurmont yesterday. Light returns, but a classic, straight off the Atlantic misty rainfall that requires wipers even when it's light stuff. Plenty of fog at the top of Gambrill, too. Good football day.
