What Went Wrong in Winter 23-24/Base State/Will It Ever Snow Again??
wxdude64 replied to WxUSAF's topic in Mid Atlantic
Very, very NINOish. -
Low was 22.3 here, currently 37.7/27.4 under sunny skies at 10:30 am. Last few days have been awesome for getting outside stuff done.
-
Another chilly start down around 20 degrees, already up to 36 at 10:30 am under full sun.

What Went Wrong in Winter 23-24/Base State/Will It Ever Snow Again??
wxdude64 replied to WxUSAF's topic in Mid Atlantic
Well, the first thing I generally check made that a fail, the HOA block was checked. Granted, I didn't read to see if it was low and only to cover road maintenance/plowing (which I COULD live with, begrudgingly) but other than that, automatic out. Once an HOA gets started the only way they go is up, usually at 2x inflation as a minimum. -
Another semi-chilly start to the day, currently 24.1/15.3 under clear skies.

What Went Wrong in Winter 23-24/Base State/Will It Ever Snow Again??
wxdude64 replied to WxUSAF's topic in Mid Atlantic
Same here. I pulled the string back in September, she will retire end of this month. We both love snow and have considered several locations including Flagstaff AZ, eastern UT to western WY, northern MO to southern IA, and a bit closer at either Thomas/Davis or Alpine Lake/Terra Alta areas of WV. BUT, do we want to do a massive move for snow? She just moved east (CA girl) 3 years ago after all lol. Plus we both like to garden so a few of those locations set a limit on that. The bummer is most areas are losing snow across the USA.... So for now we are staying put for at least the next year. -

To a point, yes. It isn't a MASSIVE increase, but in marginal situations it can snow 2,3 4 inches up there and rain or white rain down in the valleys. In a bigger event it can be a 10-20% increase in totals from lowland areas. The biggest difference I've seen (and I'm close to the airport at Hot Springs (3700-4200 elevation) is when we get ice storms, or close calls for one. Then I've seen the parkway and the airport be in 1/2 inch of ice and hardly anything low. As far as moisture, usually the peaks of the BR and Allegheny's wring out anything either east or west depending on storm track, 90% of the time they are wetter than lower areas that get down sloped. -
Bottomed out at 18.8 degrees here for the low, currently 19.7/11.2 with a WSW wind at 6 mph, WC of 12 degrees.

2024 Valentines Day Who the Hell Knows - Comeback Thread
wxdude64 replied to DDweatherman's topic in Mid Atlantic
Well, I had about 20-30 minutes of very wet mangled flakes before it ended around 5:30 am. Nada but another T in the book. Course it wasn't my storm, way north, needed about two more 'souther pushes' to put this area in the game, sorta shocked anything fell. -

2024 Mid-Atlantic Garden, Lawn, and Other Green Stuff Thread
wxdude64 replied to mattie g's topic in Mid Atlantic
Was in Lowe's yesterday looking around and picked up some starter mix. We already had all the seeds needed to get started. Probably get going as soon as we return from CA 1st weekend in March. -

One more 50-75 mile jump south with the low and I'll be interested. -
So for the second straight year I watched the SB with family (only 2 games I've watched in these years after no NFL previous 2 or 3). Didn't watch the pre/post or halftime, knew those would be a mess, just hung with family in another area of the house during those. I'll admit that LAST year's game with TS 'cuts' was interesting and a novelty in a way, this year it was just plain dumb and over the top. I'm 1000% sure other players had a wife/GF/mother there, did you see any cuts to them after a play? Anyway, it was a decent game, and a few of the commercials were pretty funny.

So for second day in a row set a new 'warm minimum', old mark was 40.5 from 2018, new is 44.7 degrees. Currently 45.6/44.6 and fog/drizzle here at 8 am.

April 8th Eclipse- Last Easy One To See In My Lifetime
wxdude64 replied to Interstate's topic in Mid Atlantic
I spent the last event on the Foothills Parkway Overlook just east of Maryville TN. Absolutely awesome experience, especially from that high an elevation and watching the darkness close in around you. I HIGHLY recommend getting in the centerline on totality if folks can. -
