  1. Yea the end of the run is just ugly. Lights out territory.
  2. Hope so. I can do normal temps/below normal snowfall. But torching all winter is a layer of hell in itself.
  3. Do we have anything favorable in our corner this autumn or are we staring down another screw job?
  4. What site did you get that table from?
  5. New normal. Probably going to see more Code Orange/Red AQ days and big temperature inversions in the winter.
  6. Almost 80 in November...new normal I guess.
  7. 591dm SE ridge on Nov 25th. Oy.
  8. The gradients don't event match up. Loudoun County somewhere between 5" and 20".
  9. Germantown is becoming denser and a tad higher in elevation so it can mix out earlier.
  10. Was living in New Salem, PA at the time and commuting to Gaithersburg for work. The winter of 13-14 killed my '99 Outback (stopped cranking at 4am despite a new battery, starter, and alternator) and was the only winter where it was so cold that work and home were basically the same temperature in the morning. Could you imagine a winter with 09-10 level snow and 13-14 level temps? Truly would be epic.
  11. I just don't want to torch this winter. 65 and bad air quality on Christmas is just terrible.
  12. I really wish West Virginia had a mesonet. There's so much CAD and terrain challenges that it would be great to see that.
  13. Halloween. Love this holiday. Hope there's tons of kids out tonight.
  14. If it were late January or February it would've been 35 and rain the entire time. We had SE winds the entire event.
  15. Rainfall was never supposed to be the main feature of this system.
  16. Looks like that might be the triple point as analyzed on this meso: https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md1927.html
  17. Had a 9% TOR risk per CIMMS earlier.
  18. The low level inversion appears to be eroding. Within the past hour, several ASOS locations in St. Mary's County are sustained 30+, G40+.
  19. What time will Delmarva sink into the sea?
  20. You have to understand that we have a tendency to get the rug pulled out from underneath us at the last minute, sometimes as late as 12 to 24 hours prior to the event. It gets worse when folks from other forums come down to rub salt in the wounds and spike the ball in our face just to get a rise out of us. Snow is sacred here, you wait months for a 15 days window that produces maybe 8 to 12 hours of snow and then it's gone by sunset the next day.
  21. Hitsotircally, La Nina winters are pretty terrible south of DC and east of I-95. Unless you're along Mason-Dixon or at a higher elevation, keep your expectations really low.
