    Interpreting wx radar after color inflation: green = partly cloudy, dark green = cloudy, yellow = virga, orange = sprinkles, red = moderate sprinkles, purple = light rain, blinking dark purple = rain, radar inoperative = rain, sometimes moderate
  2. LongRanger
    in weather radar, yellow is the new green

    lots of the letter T in my station's snowfall logs this year, but given the cold temps, today I had to use a bigger T, woo hoo

    Come out, Virginia, don't let me wait You snow-holic girls start much too late Aw, but sooner or later, it comes down to fate This might as well be the one

    Mr. Miyagi says "Snow on"
  6. LongRanger
    hail during the downpour but no thunder, peak gust of 42, temp now dropping
  7. LongRanger
    Mr. Miyagi designed at least some of the models. You know, "Snow on, snow off." It's all just normal preparation for the real event.

    stormtracker trying to prevent imby jacker suicides, but tilting at windmills might be more effective

    You must be new here, Kay. The rules here require rooting for the imby jack, then suicide when, surprise, that does not happen. Lather rinse repeat. I'll be happy if the rest of the month features interesting weather, but I'm just a renegade rules breaker.

    seeing my first tornado (June 5)

    looks like Baltimore's 1982-1983 shows 8.4" of snow, but way more than that fell during just the Feb 83 storm
  12. LongRanger
    my station's overnight low happened during the 9 pm hour, then by 1 am the temp had shot up 10 degrees
  13. LongRanger
    If this temp pattern is anything but random, I would speculate it is related to the winter solstice. Minimum northern sunshine happens mid-late December. Perhaps the small increase in heating that occur in January is enough to instigate artic cold draining to the lower latutudes at a certain time, with the result DC sees unusually cold temps Jan 20 or so.

    New Orleans? If the NFL wants to be sure of no big snow during the Super Bowl, they should move the game to our area.

    remember that Mar 1 1980 storm well since I was an on-air Baltimore weather guy at the time, still have my forecast notes on paper in a box somewhere

    Long term temperature normals are a smoothed average. If you remove the smoothing, that is, examine the actual daily averages for the past 50 years in the NE Corridor, you'll find the there are two separate annual min temps, one centered around Jan 20 and another Feb 5. In between those dates is a slight warm up, sometimes called the January thaw. This year might follow that pattern.

    Wait, Joe Bartlo procreated? Say it ain't so!

    Southern slider. The 12z GFS appears about as good as we can get from it around here. If the storm were to wrap up more than depicted, precip type issues would crop up for the big cities. Been following the 11th's storm for two weeks, sorry it's not looking wow for us.
  19. LongRanger
    the 18z GFS brings back the cold at the end of the run, with snow to New Orleans at 384, yeah, that's happening
  20. LongRanger
    first class wx pr0n, just don't look at the ugly upper air progs
  21. LongRanger
    I've had my eye on Jan 10-12 since posting here two weeks ago. Love fairly slow moving systems like it. Someone's going to cash in, but the big cities now look to have mixing concerns. The Jan 5-6 Thing should clear the way for better 10-12th modeling.
  22. LongRanger
    18z GFS has -30 to -40 2m temps in northern plains at 276, h5 reminds me of Jan 1977
  23. LongRanger
    My Heathkit ID4001 station from the 70s is still working, anemometer and all. Probably going to outlive me. Whether its air temp sensor ever reports below zero again is another matter. At least there's a chance next month.
  24. LongRanger
    haven't seen this promising an upcoming pattern in a long time, my eye is on the Jan 10-12 period to cash in on the cold
  25. LongRanger
    CFS among others leading the MJO to 7 portends a colder January here
