North Balti Zen

Um...kinda, yeah. Two labs and a boxer mix. I've...really, I've just begun.

The mystery of what happened on the margins to PSU's snow I think I have solved - it all went to Norrisville...

Morning low fog - from snow melt. The banter part is...the poocopalypse dog version is at hand. Enough snow melt has occurred that...good lord. Got 17 bags on first sweep this AM before work.

Light rain in Fallston - any precip is welcome at this point.

22 this AM in fallston. Snowcover still there at about 4-5" of depth. Amazing staying power. Day 19 of continuous snowcover since the storm.

Dear lord, this. We really need to get moisture here on the regular. It has been a long time since we've been in a true wet pattern.

It's a stunner - for all the snowpack fetishists - this is about as good as it gets. The depth of the snowpack - sealed in like it is - is genuinely rare.

I didn't but my girlfriend did. I missed that Pedro Pascal, Cardi B and Ronald Acuna Jr. were on the porch in the first part of the set among the dancers when Bad Bunny was on top of the house set.

11 in Fallston. Colder than I was expecting unfortunately. Ready for the ice box to back off a bit personally.

fwiw; I don’t speak more than a few words of Spanish and that halftime show was absolutely joyous and one of the best shows of its kind I’ve seen in five decades of watching .

9 for the low at my spot in Fallston.

The dry air wherever I am in any event is pretty much 1988 Mike Tyson. Absolutely terrifying and impossible to beat.

As the office weather nerd, I have people stopping by to ask me why the schools are closing two hours early and as god is my witness, all I can do is shrug my shoulders and say I really have no idea why. Death flurries maybe?

Some of the current angst/irritation over the models can be explained by one consistent fact that since the snow/sleet bomb - we’ve gone back to very little (no) precip. It was indeed a weak ass frontal passage for instance. We are currently frustrated over chasing ghosts because the various physics and ai overlord efforts to model chaos can’t agree on our next good window for areawide precip - much less if it will be snow or rain. whatever pattern reshuffle is underway , I hope it brings more moisture chances with it

Hello - I interrupt this delightful descent into board madness with this very important Olympic news - on Peacock - you can get a quad box of live events and right now I have a quad box of live curling on and it is absolutely glorious.

At least. Saturday should result in an epic re-freeze of the undercoat of melting snow belore the top ice layer.

Ucinelli - I'd rather be in Bismarck...

Just catching up - first off - that's mdecoy? That explains so much. Second, what if you make north of $150K and don't know shit about shit? Where to post then? Reddit?

Hiking is too damn hard right now too. Borderline dangerous actually, and I am missing those walks with my pups especially.

I sure am not sad about any maps that show temps in the 50s at some point in the next few weeks, even if just for a day or two.

Aye, yes, that would be lovely

True banter thought - whenever I read someone say a long range prog looks good and then says "hopefully we can avoid ______" - I think reflexively think, yeah, we won't avoid _______"... See e.g. - My reflexive thought: gonna be a big ridge bridge fo' sho'...

Yeah, big picture, it's good news. In the moment, I totally get the frustration. The atmosphere is a fickle mistress when it comes to snow desires for sure...

Could have been zero tho...it ended up being a memorable storm - sorry it didn't snow more for you for sure, I am just glad it wasn't a full zero situation for us.

Well that extra sucks on a cold Friday, RIP to Catherine O'Hara. One of the real ones.
