  1. I’m becoming more interested in NW Pennsylvania or SWNY as opposed to Ohio as my eclipse destination. Haven’t been to that part of the state and have never seen one of the Great Lakes. Maybe make it a 2-for-1er.
  2. Some T&L. Didn’t realize it til I saw the flash off my balcony.
  3. Texas [emoji88] Nothing looks great… at least the NE has a shot.
  4. People have been jokingly suggesting an eclipse severe weather outbreak. Would be very funny if it happened. $1,000,000 to whoever gets an eclipse tornado photo
  5. Why I refuse to book flights and hotels for things like this. I’d be panicking. I’ll hop in my car and hope for the best!
  6. Much worse than when I made my comment an hour or so ago. Distinctly smoky in DC.
  7. And wildfires and smoke now. Shenandoah having a tough day.
  8. Ah, then you are ahead of me. Wouldn’t worry too much, though it probably won’t be a fun drive! Might be ignorance, but I really like to think I’d be okay driving the day of in the early morning hours. Guess maybe I’ll find out!
  9. I think the only way to go is to leave the night before if you are driving to OH/PA. Even that might be tricky, but hoping it’s plausible. Morning of probably will be more frustrating than it’s worth even if you get there, lol
  10. final totals pulled out of my sig - might've missed some flurries 2 nights ago but who cares about the T anyway D.C. (Union Station) Snow Total N Arlington Snow Total Total: 7.85" + 5T 10.5" + 5T
  11. My hope with driving is that if I leave at midnight, drive with a partner who can drive back at like 10pm and trade sleeping hours, and just fully commit to a lost day, the driving will be OK. Avoiding daylight hours. Maybe optimistic still lol.
  12. Plan is still to drive somewhere to the middle of nowhere in Ohio or PA the night before and try and find a spot to hang out. We'll see - am concerned about traffic and weather, but worth a try.
  13. 850s very cold… surface 1-2 degrees Celsius over freezing. Concur with the analysis
  14. What else is there to do? Wait til our two severe days of the year? Track wildfire smoke? Wait for 25mph wind and light rain from a tropical storm?
  15. I'm sure they are good at what they do up there but all I can imagine is getting stuck there... it being Donner Pass doesn't help with my concerns lol
  16. EURO control has an I-81 3-5”er on the 8th. EPS LR has us waiting til March 26 for a final area wide 2-4” lol
  17. I’ve got no proof to back this up but feel like the GEFS has a tendency to be overeager with anafrontal situations. At least to my recollection
  18. I hear both of these. Seems like a missed opportunity (though maybe this is impossible… I’m out of my depth) to take the successes and find a way to drop the cost. For the first moon landing, a 2022 cost of $176 billion is probably way too much. Human life point is very valid. Think maybe my disbelief we haven’t tried again comes from my personal ignorance of the tragedies that have happened. Wasn’t really alive to watch those on TV. puts a damper on the whole thing for sure.
  19. I don’t get how we haven’t been back to the moon recently. Would be the easiest win ever for whoever managed to push that mission through. I know there are plans that keep getting pushed back, but can’t help but think if you did it in the late 1960s with today’s equivalent of a box of scraps, ya should be able to pull it off today.
  20. Yep… I’ve come to appreciate how much 2” really is. Pretty appreciable amount when you think about it. @ravensrule I still think we are due for our BECS. One day we’ll get a dynamic cooling monster just soaking in that Gulf Stream energy with juuust enough cold air.
  21. I think you know I think you are right on this debate…. And you have every right imo to post in the LR thread that a storm might’ve worked 5/10/15/20/50 years ago… that interests me greatly and I know it does others. But when someone says it doesn’t matter, there’s no analog, every storm is different and misses the essence of what you are saying, it takes two to tango and someone should just drop it and “lose” the argument, I guess is my take. I’m bad at doing that. Just ask my girlfriend. lol
