BristowWx Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 After all these years and even with the squabbling people on this board are like family. We all share one thing in common the love of snow. In the real world most would think we are all 3 cards short of a full deck. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 I always thought that Leesburg04 was a cool name. But, aldie 22 is even cooler. It's just right for Leesburg and for the massively snowy winter just about to slam the hell out of the Mid Atlantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not trying to be morbid, but do folks remember a poster from quite a few years ago who was open about the fact that, due to illness, he was nearing the end of his time on earth and said his plan was to set up on the edge of the ocean and let the water just take him when his time was up? It’s been quite a while, but that discussion has stuck with me all these years… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a pretty cool take on things and never let all of it get to him. I remember being a little confused about his last posts and then it hit me one day that he hadn’t been around for a bit. Without searching his name, I’m guessing it’s coming up on ten years he’s been gone. Hope he’s somewhere watching all of us and wondering why TF were still at it. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

09-10 analogy Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Here we come Spain! 12 days in Madrid, Seville, and Barcelona. I was gonna rent a car in the latter and drive to Andorra and the Pyrenees -- I'd certainly see snow there -- but it's just not feasible. 3 hour drive each way and nowhere to park once you get to the postage stamp capital of the multiverse. But still playing with the idea of renting a car in Seville and going to Gibraltar. I want to see the coast of Africa and the only place in Europe they have monkeys (other than zoos, of course). And, yes, we'll be on the lookout for Barcelona's notorious pickpockets. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is The Look. Northerly flow into the Midwest and Great Lakes supplying cold air, east-west over us and to our north, troughing in the 50/50 region, and then ridging in Greenland for the -NAO. That broad flat bowl look is what @Bob Chill was mentioning recently. @WxUSAF, I didn't know that you used to work for the White House. Keep up the good work. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 I notice people calling this a hobby. I think for many of us it's not a hobby. We all have hobbies. I enjoy hiking, gardening, exploring old barns, ect. This obsession with weather is something I was born with and developed at a very very young age. It's just part of who I am. It's not something I could quit. I could quit looking at forecast models, but I'd never quit starring at the sky and wondering what interesting weather event is around the bend. I remember sneaking out at 2 am to look out the window at the snow. I remember riding my bike to the end of my street to see off to the west if any storms were developing with hopes of getting a thunderstorm. We didn't have radar. You'd have to catch the locals on the eights to get a glimpse of radar. In a way.. those days were great. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldie 22 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 I have a feeling todays 12z GFS is going to have a significant snowstorm for the region. NOT PSU or JI significant and probably disappointing to Terp because it will mix but still significant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
