Nothing says “Christmas” like my holiday lights shimmering in 39° rain. Son of Grinch has arrived. My one and only observation before the Arctic front arrives in this godforsaken event.

No. I’ve been casually following but it’s Christmas and it’s the first one since my dad passed. Historic event out there. Historic period for them. Glad I got to partake in at least one epic event. I’ll enjoy my snowless and frozen landscape at home with the people I love, and I’ll be happy knowing I had the ability to give my family a good Christmas.

Gather 'round weenies. I don't do this often, but it’s story time with Cousin Donnie. I knew Winter way back when I was a kid. Winter was kind. Winter always seemed to go above and beyond. Winter was always a good friend. I fell in love. As I got older and the relationship got more serious, Winter started showing troubling traits. Winter was moody. Winter disappeared for long stretches with no good explanation. Winter was fickle. Still, your dear cousin Donnie decided to ignore the warning signs. Cousin Donnie was an idiot. When I decided to commit myself to Winter in DC, it got ugly. Yeah, there were some good times, but far too often I'd be up at night calling on my friends Goofus and Euro asking where Winter was. I paced the floor for weeks and sometimes months wondering why Winter abandoned me. The Canadians always had the wrong answer. Our drunk Uncle Ukie probably doesn't even remember all the insane stuff they said. Then in 2015 it happened. I reached my breaking point. I packed up Winter's sh*t and sat it right on the curb for DC Sanitation to pick up. That divorce was the best thing that ever happened to me. I left Winter to be someone else's Vixen. From there, Winter and I only got together for mutually beneficial entanglements. Watertown a few times. Saranac Lake. Buffalo. A few wonderful nights in my backyard. Winter at arms length worked well for me as I watched other weenie souls destroyed by believing in Winter. But once again, your cousin Donnie was an idiot. I believed @Ginx snewx--Winter would be different come December. I believed @brooklynwx99--Winter's typical pattern of behavior had changed. @ORH_wxman, a man with a sterling reputation, only had good things to say. @CoastalWx was a little cautious but the red flags were at a minimum. I let that evil bastard back into my heart and home, only to find out that they've been sneaking around and getting taint kissed by people like QG and Great "Snow". ENOUGH. TAKE YOUR 500 MB MAPS, TAKE YOUR OUTLOOKS, TAKE YOUR SCROLLS, TAKE YOUR KIND WORDS, AND TAKE WHATEVER POSITIVE SH*T YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT WINTER AND SHOVE IT WHEREVER YOU'VE LET WINTER PUT THE QPF OF THE OTHER CITIES THAT IT DESTROYED WHILE YOU WATCHED AT THE EDGE OF THE BED QUIETLY HOPING TO GET IN ON THE ACTION. I AM DONE.

Now that we don’t have to worry about snow, inland cat 1 gusts or bust.

After a really strong start, the model cinema really took a turn for the awful. I’ll stay in the theater and nap in my seat in case things get interesting again, but I doubt it. Another Christmas flop for the ages.

FWIW

Until the Ukie and Euro lol

All I ask is that every room has a foreboding portrait of yours truly.

.91” Rain

I’ll take a warning event if absolutely necessary, but I want a thermonuclear detonation over my backyard.

There wouldn’t be nearly the same amount of tracking and expectations too if not for the time of year…and recent history imho. I really do hope it works out.

I’d like to see a multi suite shift there but if I’m honest confidence in a forecast won’t be higher until the Euro makes a similar type of shift, or the GFS goes boldly (and consistently) in the other direction. I’m of the opinion that it’s way too early to punt this threat. Let’s see how that evolution evolves in the next 48 hours and go from there.

Did that in 2020 lol

Hard to see but I think these show 47% inland/35% coastal/17% full on Grinch?

I'm still in but reserve the right to jump ship late Sunday. The pattern giveth and the pattern taketh away.

DIT reverse psychology, TBlizz meh'ing, Ginx's parchment scrolls directly from Connecticut's fabled Charter Oak, doing a seance in Mitch's graveyard, untethering from reality like George, beer, edibles, shrooms. Whatever it takes to bring this back in time for Christmas.

Yeah, I think we either hit big or miss big with this one.

This place is truly incredible

Time for us all to return to his flock?

I’d give it to Sunday, but if this went to hell it’d be worse than what I thought couldn’t be topped in 2020 with King Grinch. Doesn’t look good, but I’m holding for now…

I was thinking the opposite, but does the lack of spacing help drag the follow up wave toward the coast?

You know it’s not where we need it to be when we’re arguing over our feelings rather than clown maps.
