Itstrainingtime

Friends, here is our winter in one snapshot:

Good read for the weekend threat: (and to Nut's point earlier - this might be one of, it not our last true hurrah...) https://www.millersville.edu/weathercenter/forecasts/weather-discussion.php

AC will be running VERY soon. (Friday and Saturday)

Well, our good neighbors from up north decided that the low should be centered over Wilmington, DE and provide a good soaking rain for eastern PA with snow out west. Just another possible solution in the 'ole bag of tricks.

Virtually nothing in Harrisburg to 7" in Baltimore to 10" in the DC suburbs. If it went down like that, I'll be ready for spring. Until the next opportunity.

Looks great for Virginia!

Yep, I think there's way too much chaos in the atmosphere right now for anything to lock in (or lock out) more than a few days in advance. This Sunday could end up looking even better in the days ahead... ...or, it might not. LOL

Great way to run a Super Bowl - snow flyin' and pilin'....

CTP had us at 26 for the low.

Was surprised that it got as cold as it did, we radiated out well last night. I was right behind you at 20.

Elliott says that the ridge axis favors a direct hit this weekend but the progressive nature of the pattern favors a miss. Our ground truth Sunday ultimately comes down to which feature wins out. So far this winter, it's been the progressiveness of the pattern.

I'm killing it! I'm at a lofty 10.6"

Had the same mixture last evening. Woke up early this morning to one of the thicker frosts of the season. That in conjunction with the leftover moisture provided some interesting driving conditions on the way down 441 this morning. At any rate - it's quickly turning into a glorious morning with the promise of more beautiful weather to come. Going to enjoy every bit of it.

Pretty good returns on radar over Lanco right now but nothing falling from the sky here other than bird droppings.

I agree completely - I'm not knocking or begrudging anyone from moving around. I hope it didn't come across that I was. I will tell you that our workforce of 950 employees is made up of 43 that left and came back. That's almost 5% of our workforce. I find that interesting.

That's awesome, good for you! I've been with my company for 25 years and working in HR, not a lot of long-term commitment today from people that there was years ago. Nothing wrong with that, it's just a different mindset.

...and just like that, CTP has added a snow/sleet mix for my zone tonight. (30%)

Pretty big front coming this weekend - looks like 50s around here on Saturday and not getting out of the 20s on Sunday. Also - it's gotten pretty solidly overcast down here over the past couple of hours. Going to be a very close miss with coastal precip this evening.

So many people go there for dinner - personally, breakfast is a somewhat hidden gem. Love to take clients there early in the morning. Best breakfast deal around and it's not close. You do the most important meal of the day exceptionally well.

Saw a few flurries earlier this morning at the office. We're running neck and neck with Greenville SC for most snow this winter.

Word for word, I'm completely with you. Perfectly said.

That was the biggest blow to me by far.

Both of those things illustrate perfectly what I was talking about. It has to be very hard (if even possible) for those who are in their 20s and even 30s to understand how big baseball was when I was young. NFL was a far distant second to baseball in popularity...shoot, the first few Super Bowls were played before thousands of empty seats. Imagine that.

Baseball saddens me. First game I attended was in 1971 at brand new Veterans Stadium. I was 6 at the time and was immediately hooked. (though NOT on the Phillies...but baseball in general) By the mid 1970s I knew every player on every team. I lived and slept baseball. No cable back then but I'd watch every O's or Phillies game that was televised locally. 1981 I got my license and 2 years later I was an 18 year old who owned his first season ticket plan with the Orioles. At this time I was going to 40-50 games a season in Baltimore, Philly, NY, Cleveland, Pittsburgh...wherever I could reasonably drive to, I'd be there. By the late 1980s I started booking flights to LA, San Diego, Chicago, Atlanta...I was consumed with baseball. I held my season ticket plan in Baltimore until the late 1990s. By this point, marriage, family, job demands, and an increasing frustration with strikes and lockouts had me starting to pull back. I replaced Orioles tickets with Senators tickets. I had those until several years ago. These days, I might see 1 or 2 games a season. Mostly for fun, the passion I had for baseball has long since waned. It is what it is - there's so much about the game and the way it's operated that I can't stand. Final straw was the hideous extra inning rule and the 7 inning doubleheaders. As a baseball purist who developed his love for the game 50 years ago - seeing what's transpired over the years makes me sick.
