CAPE

Yeah the advertised late Oct- early Nov pattern looks like one that could snow in the western highlands.

Siberian HP is strengthening, as it always does in Fall with decrease in sun angle and efficient radiational cooling in a hyper continental climate. Probably a bit earlier this year.

Sipping an Ardbeg Wee Beastie 5 yr old single malt Scotch whiskey before going out with the blower to dispense with the first round of leaves. It's Fall for real.

1-5 is tough to come back from. They have the bye and then the Bears and Dolphins. If they beat both(they should) then they are 3-5 and have a pulse. I just think this team has a lot of issues with coaching, discipline and accountability, so I don't think they are capable of reeling off a bunch of wins. Realistically they can only lose 2 more to have a shot at the division.

Love how Tomlin got burned after whining about the trade within the division. Flacco can still throw the football and with those receivers he can keep the Bengals hanging around until Burrow gets back. Next 2 games are against the Jets and Bears. They could very well be 5-4.

Other than a brief warm up this weekend, typical Fall weather-normal to below normal temps- looks likely in the LR per the ensembles through the end of the month, and the week beyond into early Nov on the extended products. Bring it. Love me some 'normal' weather in Fall, whether it rains or not. It's simply the best imo. Also wouldn't mind seeing an h5 look like this in January.

High of 62 after a low of 43. Damn near perfect mid October day.

Pretty sky this morning around sunrise.

Mostly sunny here too.

The key feature for the early Jan blizzard was a strong NA block, along with an uncharacteristically strong low(for a Nina) that developed in the GoM. It was actually a moderate Nina. Common misconception that it was weak Nina, and I posted about this last winter. Weak Ninas usually suck bigtime for the greater DC area- last winter was a rare exception, but hopefully its a new norm.

That was a very localized heavy snow event. The ol' upper level low surprise. That map there is closer to reality than the one I ridiculed in the previous post. LOL 6-10"? NO. Was maybe an inch or 2 here. It simply didn't do anything for most of the event and by the time it shifted over this way it rapidly weakened.

That map isnt even close over this way. Might have been an inch or so. Consider the source.

The prolonged drizzle/sprinkle-fest has yielded 0.21" here

Yeah but is has been stale under Harbaugh for awhile. While they have won a lot in the regular season- they have been front runners that blow teams out while often losing the closely contested games, with a good chunk of those being leads blown late. On top of that they underachieve in the postseason. Just saying, don't let it get to the point where changes aren't made until its too late- i.e. multiple losing seasons. Despite the injuries, this team should NOT be 1-5 at this point. Something is seriously lacking.

Again, the path we are on here is Coughlin and the Giants. He won 2 SBs. It got stale. The fans were restless and saw the need for change. Clamoring for it. Same as we are now. The front office sat on its hands. It got worse. 3 straight losing seasons- they still didn't fire him! He fucking resigned.

FINALLY. Fucks sake. Might not work out at this point, but he should have started the game.

Maybe put Huntley in now. Trash time. Rush could get injured taking more sacks or trying to make a tackle on an interception.

At 1-5 its time to unload some players before the trade deadline. Get some picks or spare parts to get further under the cap for next year.

So you are saying it will be wrong lol

This has to be the worst coached team in football. HC, OC, DC. Just fucking awful. Monken exposed himself when he refused to run the ball in the AFC championship game despite the obvious matchup advantage. Orr is clueless, and Harbaugh should have been encouraged to move on years ago- instead they have extended him. Tom Coughlin won 2 SBs and the Giants refused to fire him- he had to resign after 3 losing seasons. Ravens will probably follow that path.

That TD might be the game. They know the Ravens are going to run and are afraid to throw with this oaf. Good luck Henry.

Monken lol. He can go too. No feel at all.

Best 'skill' Rush has is a hard count lol

That combo would open up some easy pass plays. Rush is a statue, and an interception machine.
