Jandurin Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I don't think you have to worry. I feel that tomorrow is going to be an "interesting" weather day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I worry because there are things to worry about. Like will it be cold enough for frozen, will Tom Wilson manage to not get suspended again, will the Skins lay an egg Sunday, what do I bring for a pot luck lunch at work tomorrow. These are all pressing matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jandurin Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 It won't be cold enough for meaningful frozen but it could be cool for awhile. IDK what Tom Wilson is. I doubt the redskins will get 0 points (I assume that's what that means?). Bring chips and homemade salsa (it's p. easy to make and delicious and probably no one else will do this). You could do guac but that's way harder to get right. YW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pretty girl or handsome guy across the room playing hard to get is rarely as hot when you're having a morning conversation with the bathroom door open I love the chase, as probably most people on this forum. It's great to find people as snow crazed as me! I am thrilled about the winter outlook this year and being able to start so early is perfect. My mom passed away in July after 6 months of brain cancer hell and I definitely will need the distraction during the upcoming holidays. Bring on the fantasy snow maps.

What a terrible way to lose your mom, I'm sorry for your loss. My aunt just passed away from brain cancer after a miraculous (?) survival of six years since initial diagnosis. Watching her deteriorate at the end was tough to see. Hopefully tomorrow's storm is a precursor for an active winter to keep your mind preoccupied with other things.

I hope you and your family are doing well. I'm not really big into the tracking of winter storms honestly. I'm all about production. I've been much more inclined to feel this way after being on the boards and living down here. It's just too much for me. I enjoy being out in the elements, which is why I've started chasing. That's a lot of work but a lot of fun. Not sure how new you are to the board, but welcome. We all fight around here from time to time, but we're a family, bound together by our mutual love for wx. I genuinely love the board and care about the posters. We're in it together. Unless the rain/snow line is lurking. Then it's a free for all this is about 99% all the time. northern/western folks get the snow, while everyone else gives them **** for it. and then we have Jan 2016 where we all cashed in and we were all lovey with rainbows and unicorns. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was diagnosed just after Christmas with the same cancer as John McCain. My mom was always the one to patiently listen to my excited ramblings about the snow that was coming, so I have warned my dad to get ready for my winter snow madness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowmagnet Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I found this board in 2015-16. I absolutely loved the excitement of the Jan '16 storm. Historical storms make me giddy. I drive my family crazy, so I was thrilled to find you all. I grew up in Waldorf, MD where we sometimes got more snow than Nova, but have lived in Fairfax for the past 26 years. I wish I was a little further west, but tracking just west of 95 is so much fun! My friends tell me I should have been a meteorologist, but I am not that smart so I rely on the intellect on this forum! I actually resonate with several people on here, probably mostly Ji. I tend to stay optimistic until the bitter end, and get pretty depressed if the winter just stays wet. Also, I work for Fairfax County Schools, so I'm very happy when they close. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a nice little event up here to start off that epic season. I am not sure exactly what you had but most of the reports around you were about 5". I had 6 here. It had some similarities, marginal temps, but the track was further offshore so less mid level southerly flow to deal with, snowfall actually tailed off some NW of me. It was a significantly weaker system overall also. If this was December 5th we probably would be looking at a significant snowfall here. Even if the track is slightly inside idea right now even that would adjust if it was December and there was a slightly colder boundary. That would probably shift the track a bit east also towards the temperature boundary along the coast. But I am of the mind that this is a good sign... the fact that every time we get any kind of trough we pop multiple coastal systems bodes well as climo becomes more favorable soon.
