  1. I stopped watching at halftime. This team needs major changes on coaching, philosophy, and someone who knows how to draft offensive talent. Tired of passing on athleticism. O-line hasn't looked good all year IMO. Just pathetic
  2. I'll be back east for an extended vacation with my wife to see family. Maybe a day or two up in the Lakes can be in the works for mid-late January
  3. Ahh. Okay. I will not be able to join you. That's when I go for my workshop and radar certification in Norman. I'm excited about that one. We NEED to get together and do a chase. Snow, severe, whatever. I'm down lol
  4. When and where are you gonna be out west? Cuz I'm out west and need some adventure haha
  5. Here in Midland, our high is looking to crack 80 before the front. Low tomorrow morning around 37/38 with a high around 44. Huge changes incoming for the Panhandle. My friend at the Amarillo office said they are expecting snow in their NW CWA. Wind gusts near 60 already reported post front up in their neck of the woods.
  6. DCA: 11/19 BWI: 11/4 IAD: 11/3 RIC: 11/19 Tiebreaker: 5.25
  7. I actually never transferred. This is my first NWS position. I got married in early June and left 3 days later with my wife. I’ve been out here for 2 months. Time is flying! .
  8. Here's one I took at sunset last night for the office. Might be favorite so far. Pic doesn't do it justice.
  9. How's everyone in the forum been doing? So far, everything is pretty nice out here. Definitely a different climate in West Texas, but have been lucky enough to get some nice shots from thunderstorms. That's a huge plus out here with the wide open space. I can't wait for the temp to come down to get in some hiking in the Guadalupe's and Big Bend National Park. If anyone would like to plan something in the late fall, let me know!! Here's some pictures from out here of thunderstorms.
  10. You know what's really hard? Planning a trip back home to see my folks and trying to time a snowstorm at the same time. Who's a good gambler?
  11. Thanks guys!! Pretty excited. And @canderson, I actually have been to Texas and I like it. Laid back atmosphere and Midland is actually a rapidly growing area. Everything is there now. We'll be sure to visit all of Texas while we're there. If anyone is ever in the area, feel free to stop by. Our home will be open
  12. Well guys. I know it has been a while since I last posted in here, but I wanted to say thank you all for the support over the years and allowing me to be part of the weather family that is the Central PA sub-forum. The reason I am saying this is because I will be moving this summer and embarking on my journey west, full-filling my dream as a National Weather Service Meteorologist out in Midland, Texas. I will also be getting married in early June prior to heading out and my last full-time shift at my current position is tomorrow. It has certainly been a pleasure and I will make sure to check in on occasion, especially with any big Winter Storms on the horizon. But for now, I will be trading in my snow hat for a hard hat as I head to the land of the dry line. I couldn't be more excited!!
  13. Wasn’t home for derecho, but when it went over OCMD, it was the single most incredible lightning storm I’ve ever seen. I remember tracking it while on vacation with my family. Once it got into WV and Dulles sounding came out, I knew it was going to be epic. We finished eating crabs and grabbed a few drinks and went out on front patio of our condo 11 floors up. We watching the lightning in the distance approach with over an hour and half eclipsing before the storm even got to Berlin area. Then, we could see the the outskirts of the storm approach with the outflow streaming out ahead. It got super calm. Just dead silent in wind right as the edge of the cloud line approached. Not even 15 seconds after the cloud passed overhead, the wind kicked in like something I’ve never experienced. Like someone turned a giant fan on full blast. Our front patio chairs got pushed back and we just stood their in awww. The lightning started to get pretty nasty close in, so we went back, grabbed a big mix drink and sat on back patio to avoid the wind since it was coming perpendicular to building. From there, the rains kicked in and dumped for a while with lightning ongoing around us. Then the best part was a straight two hours of lightning over the water, just painting the sky as it pulled off the coast. Hands down the coolest experience on vacation and the best lightning show I have seen to date. A moment I’ll never forget. .
  14. It's definitely overdone, but there's a potential for a warning criteria snowfall. The time of the day is the caveat. If this were to occur overnight, we'd be talking the potential for up to a foot with pretty prolific precip field and solid thermal profile. During the day, you're going to fight the April sun, and even with heavy snow falling, it'll be a battle. I can see 5-10" being the max potential if everything breaks right. That's incredibly rare for April in these parts.
  15. Hi All!! Looks like the sub-forum will see a few tastes of winter over the coming days with Saturday looking like a legit, historic for April type of event trying to unfold. I really like the LSV for this one with areas along the PA Line in the cross-hairs for some crazy stuff. Elevation will play a big role in this one, so the areas near the state line and places like Welsh Mountain and near the turnpike will have the best shot at receiving the bigger totals.
  16. Congrats all on an amazing storm. Big ups to Ray for cracking 30". Welcome to the club! I've witnessed it 4 times in my life with PDII, Feb 5-6, 2010, Feb 2013 when I traveled to Waltham and Blizzard of 2016. Feb 2013 is one of my favorite storms of all time. Nobody messes with y'all's blizzards. Enjoy!
  17. I need to go to the hill country during an event one day. They almost always cash out, so long as setup favors the area of course. How’s conditions up in Hamburg? .
  18. I know. Was just pointing out that precip anomaly wasn't rain. Not the same setup by any means.
  19. I really do feel bad for you man. I've driven through the area, and I can see how you get that shadow effect.
  20. '83 was a very dynamic storm. Very heavy snow over MD, DC and NoVa during the height with thundersnow across the area. It was a moisture bomb, so the snow consistency was a bit on the wet side, but it was a higher ratio at its height when best lift was centered over the area. My Father told me he ended up with 23" at the end of the storm with over a foot in a 4 hour span. Thundersnow woke him up and visibility was below 100 yards at one point. Great storm. You should go read up on it. One of the best the area has had in last 50 years.
  21. That record precip value in 1983 was not rain either
  22. Yeah. They got rid of them a few years ago. I forecast for SW PR and we have our own site radar but we used to use the radars out of Mayaguez Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. Over 12" now in Millville, DE down to Selbyville. Looks like another 2-5" possible before calling it quits later. Awesome storm for the shore!
