No No No... I am only 10 minutes from Fallston, but I am in Baltimore County   So good news for me... bad news for @Stormchaserchuck1

Welcome neighbor! We do much better for snow here, every mile makes a big difference.  You're also kind of in a nice thunderstorm spot. Baltimore to just south of me is a zone that gets hit whenever we are risk. Edit: nevermind, you already live here. Whatever.

Not sure if it is far enough away from Parkton, @mappy but I will officially be living in Fallston as of Dec. 1. Bad news for @Interstate as I bring my snow shield to Harford County...

 

Welcome! When we get coastals, Fallston does really well. I think we had close to 36" in Jan 2016. I also measured 125" in my backyard in the Winter of 02-03.

Vikings stink with basically a rookie at QB...Packers stink with one of the highest paid QBs in the league...stink knows stink

Dolphins are the worst. Why did they sign Tua to $55 mill/yr? I think Lamar is like the 10th highest paid QB now. If you have a lot of money, NFL is something that is really going up in value a lot over the next few decades.

I mean, I can almost see the bal co line from the farm…

 

if the forum ever wants to try another get together, late July - early September is beyond gorgeous on the farm with all the flowers fields fully ablaze- some coolers of beer and a grill and it would be a fun place to gather for a bit - and Boordy is just three miles down the road too…

What one of the fields looked like in August…

Meh - they are quirky and fun. Not sure what the better option is... IIRC you can already walk or take the mini-subway they have in most cases but it's a longer journey.

Not sure international returns? Think you have to take that absurd contraption back to the cattle call customs line.

Yeah, I think that's the one scenario where you have no other choice. But I guess my question would still be what the other option is. Underground tunnel just to get back to customs seems a tad $$$$. Maybe PenFed could sponsor it

Something LOUD just flew over Colesville area. ADS-B has something but it's not identified. Probably fighter jet(s) - only getting it periodically on MLAT tracking. 340+ knots if the MLAT is accurate.

My work gave me the ultimatum to move to Charlotte, NC or get lost in 30 days. I've been remote for six year since they closed our office here. Looks like I'm moving down there. I'm gonna miss the mid-Atlantic winters. Weather seems hot and boring down there in the Piedmont.

The Sierra storm tomorrow is shaping up to be quite a rainer all the way up to 9,200 feet. Very warm conditions as La Nina continues. Possibly 3-4 inches of plain rain at resort level will wash away lots of soil and rocks. Only the highest peaks at 11,000 feet will see 1-2 feet of wet snow. Not that this will help the Saturday opening at Mammoth in 2-3 days. Skiers will be mudding it out all the way down the slopes. Palisades will be all torrential rain too, whipped by 90kt winds at the crests. There are indications on the modeling that this movable feast will slow down and dump ridiculous amounts of rain into the weekend. We are going to see many forlorn skiers show up at Mammoth for one of the rainiest openings in history. They might not even make it up there for floods, mudslides and washed out roads.

This is going to be a monumental washout.

The only place there will not be an all-out CARNAGE this winter will be the Great Lakes where downwind LES will bury many alive in meters of windblown snow.
