2 hour wait in Smithsburg to vote. Crazy. Never seen it like this.

That long of a wait must mean that a cold and snowy DJF is coming.

It is a well known predictor of HL blocking.

It has been averaging in the 30s and 40s for lows the past 2 weeks here in central Texas. I think this bodes well for the Mid Atlantic. You guys should average 20 degrees below normal for nighttime lows, like we have been. For us, these are super freezing cold temps at night, akin to Dale City getting 13 degree lows every night this time of year. I want you guys to be ice age cold, but not us. We depend on a long growing season down here.

I hope that this is only a blip for us. If it turns out to be a long term trend, this winter down in the Deep South could be Deep Trouble. We are not insulated for that kind of weather. I have livestock too, and they are definitely not used to super cold weather. My life down here is slightly different to how I once lived in Dale City, lol, and I am enjoying it. Should have done it 40 years ago!

Last night, we hit 38 AGAIN! You'd never imagine our normal low is 56. We just dont get return warm humid air from the GoMex any more. Some fool built an 8 mile high wall all along the Gulf of Mexico and we cant warm up any more.

OK today is a little better down here. Good southerly winds, dewpoints up in the upper 40s instead of the frigid low 30s for a change. Wow, this place is changing markedly. It takes us 2 weeks to warm up! Thats more like Washington DC then south central Texas lmao.

Thanks for the props!! I was actually backpacking in Dolly Sods again. Cold and windy as all get out yesterday,, but today was spectacular. The whole trip was great.

Working on the second and third sheets to the wind now. Here’s a pic from the this morning with the smoke from our fire hanging over the creek.

Looks like the Alaskan wilderness during its first frost in August.

I’m not sure what you know of Dolly Sods, but your words are echoed by so many in that the area has some commonalities to fauna of Alaska. It’s such a beautiful area.

Blackbird Knob near the intersection of Harman. The best part of the trip is that all mud yesterday, and even today in the shade, was frozen enough to not sink ankle deep.

That’s incredible. Probably saved you some time walking too. Gorgeous pic.

Great discussion in here, as always.

I am done....just waiting for the election dust to settle and I will present.

[peribonca]

To all those who are missing November weather during this warm spell don’t worry we’ll have months on end of typical November weather coming up!

[Stormfly]

Warm Novembers tend to be good for winter.

I think that content moderation is on high alert because no one has made a peep about the election.. I guess people are scared.

There are other places to talk politics.

We’re supposed to connect through Miami Monday morning to fly to St Lucia.  It’d be very 2020 if a tropical storm named Eta caused our flight to be cancelled.

I mean, this is a weather board, and this is basically the most boring (but nice) weather there is.

True. But banter can be non weather discussion. Beer and stuff.

It’s done and good! Let me know where and when you want to pick up a growler.

Hardywood gbs always sets the tone for this time of year. Looking forward to the release on Saturday

More extreme fear mongering.  Very misleading headline.  They say 1st " OUTBREAK " but its literally 2 positive cases that the Carroll  county health dept has under control. Highschool is supposed to return Thursday in person but I'm betting big money they pull the rug out last minute yet again . The Carroll county superintendent said himself there's NO PROOF that Covid  is spreading in the schools . Families should have the right of choice... period . 

 

[motsco]

yeah . state of maryland is going open up emissions testing- but allows MOCO to close private industry.!? bars , auto re[air, restaurants, etc..  people  will take their money to other county’s ?  yeah moco hates private industry.   

‘if your in private industry you know,.

The media has basically lost all credibility.
