North Balti Zen

Oof - 20 degrees on the morning walk. Legit cold feeling.

They did. You gonna drop one from 48 hours ago this time?

WW got his fingers hitting refresh to put up how there is no support for anything as fast as possible when the GEFS come out...

Still shoveling beautiful projected pattern tho. So we go that going for us.

23 on the morning walk.

We’ve shoveled some epic pattern this year. Even more than the epic pattern chases of winter of ‘21. Can’t wait to gather the young’uns in the village when I am a respected elder and spin them the tales of all the blues and reds in the right places and glorious that was. “did it snow?” the kids will ask ”oh my no” I will chuckle - “ but my god , did you not hear me? The pattern!”

Six mile hike and three mile walk (the latter with the dogs) yesterday - today 5 miles at lake Roland this AM and now about to knock out five more at Oregon Ridge - was 30 degrees at 9 am at lake Roland (mt. Washington) area of north Baltimore - now at 43 at Oregon Ridge. Gorgeous blue skies, no wind. Oregon Ridge is packed with families and walkers.

24 degrees on the 6 am walk with the dogs on the ncr trail - wasn’t expecting it to be that cold.

Trading for guys in their walk year like Burnes and going after a WS title is what big boy franchises do. And if he walks after this year, which he probably will given Boras as his agent, given the light prospect haul sent for him, it is 100% the right thing to do. The first actual "we are going for it" move. Love it.

Terpeast may be the new betting favorite. I am impressed at his quickness to panic.

Bob canceled winter until March 20, right? (kidding) but weird dynamic to see psu playing voice of optimistic reason. Like they switched good cop/bad cop roles…

Low of 27 - def freezing fog up my way in northern Baltimore County. Every field sporting frosted tips like a Jersey Shore/Guy Fieri mash-up.

It’s a hard damn world.

I can see the back edge of winter 26/27 already. Hope winter of '27/'28 is better.

I stand with Ji. Can we add “mid and” to the thread title?

Me at my usual takeout lunch spot seeing it overrun with conventioneers: "Man this is annoying" Me at my usual takeout lunch spot realizing it is entirely Mets from the AMS conference: "Ooooo, time for some Euro control talk with strangers..."

I was referencing more the loss of his beloved Euro op...

DT has to be in a panic…

Perhaps complicated is all we have left to chase anymore? I don't recall the last simple "moisture over-running cold air in place" giving us an easy area-wide 6" - 10" scenario. Maybe Jan. 22 was that for a lot of you, but not us up north of 695. We haven't had a classic "simple" over-running event of note in quite awhile.

On an up note - I hiked 11 miles yesterday through Catoctin forests north of Frederick, I've done long hikes every weekend since Thanksgiving, I'm down 3 stone since late August, and I've started dating again and planning dates when I don't have to worry about snow and cold is much easier. Plus, using less heating oil, so...win?

I genuinely do not know what that means. Harbaugh is an amazing coach in a lot of respects, but I get the frustration with him sometimes too from Ravens fans.

Snow TV. It didn't happen. Such is life.

Winter is canceled again. FOREVER.

As a neutral observer (bengals fan) who has recent experience watching his beloved team playing the Chiefs in big games (Burrow is 3-1 against Mahomes and 1-1 in the AFC championship) I cannot underscore enough that point. I thought the offensive gameplan from Monken/Harbaugh was perplexing (at best). Clearly KC had a plan to contain Lamar in the pocket - their rush lane discipline was excellent and the strength of KC's D is their defensive backfield (and Chris Jones at d-tackle - but he's more effective rushing the QB). So...run the ball? With the best rushing offense in the NFL? I mean...that, right? Instead, the run almost entirely abandoned. I was absolutely confused. Still am.

It didn’t hit parts of our area flush obviously (and 100% did hit other parts of our area flush) , but these kinds of wild upper air patterns are how you end up eventually with a March 1993 type scenario somewhere. If that kind of monster is gonna happen- it will be in response to this kind of pattern (assuming we do indeed get to this kind of pattern….)
