Hoth

WTF, what a wild evolution. Get it to do that like 200 miles west and we in bidness.

Low blow, bro.

Yeah, where do I sign for that?

My kingdom for a decent air mass. Feels like that early December job down here. Happy 2021 everyone!

I said hey, what's going on?

Fair enough. We didn't get your early December HECS down here. It was a ratter through and through. Any season with a double digit event in December in this part of SNE is cause for celebration.

I don't get it. We just put up a double digit event a few weeks ago, even if it melted. That's a big win in my book. We have fantasy storms to track and an interesting pattern going forward. That's a lot better than the last few years.

Remember that time I put up almost 100" in three weeks starting in late January? It's never over until it's over.

Yikes. We just had a MECS ten days ago and people are melting. We've gone soft.

So shall it be written; so shall it be done.

Get this rain the fook out of here.

Kudos to Wiz for doggedly pointing out the red flags for the wind forecast.

Merry Xmas, Steve. Glad you're well enough to celebrate at home.

Merry Christmas ya filthy animals! The Grinch stole all my snow light night. Pack is totally obliterated, but on the plus side, I have power. Wind roared for a few hours, but much of it stayed off the surface, so we're probably in the clear.

I do property management and after Isaias I've had enough of tenants whining about getting power back on lol.

Ditto. I like modern conveniences like electricity.

Definitely hearing the roar overhead, but not too bad at the surface so far. Maybe we folks near the coast can stay under an inversion.

Still have a full pack. Turns out that sleet was a blessing.

It would not have occurred to me to consider extreme heat or cold, but my inclusion would probably be the March '12 torch. Walking home from work across Boston common with people stretched out on blankets and wearing sundresses as the temps pushed 80 for multiple days was special. Magnolias even started blooming. Just so so anomalous.

Lotta spinners in NC by the look of it.

Yes, a week of solid cover in December is a big win in these parts. The 1" refresher on Sunday was gorgeous as well. Not a bad stretch, despite the Grinchiness.

Sleet infused pack holding tough down here.

Maybe we get the 40" deform instead of Ludlow lol.

I was still in the early days of discovering that there was an internet-based community of weather geeks in 2011 (a wonderful find), and did not yet have the sophistication to separate the knowledgeable from the clowns. Hence, I recall Henry Margusity harping on about a -NAO (whatever that was) and putting on his "big-dog" hat. Same for Bastardi, who instead worked in weird wrestling motifs into his always-cold-and-snowy forecasts. The sting of Boxing Day and the brutal torch that followed quickly passing into elation with the novelty of a Norlun trough and then outright orgasmic delight with the monster on January 12th. I remember being baffled trying to follow along on Eastern as people threw out the latest runs of models with weird names like the DGEX, JMA, NOGAPS and CRAS, as well a curious sobriquets like "drunk Uncle" etc. But eventually I grasped the lingua franca and it's been a fun ride since.
