  1. @mappy the MD DOT Cam on Rt. 30 @ the PA line is snowing. You're gonna get snow! https://chart.maryland.gov/video/video.php?feed=a5ffabd8008200d30050fa36c4235c0a
  2. 12z RAOB from IAD is bone dry up to 700mb...probably hurting things https://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/soundings/20120912_OBS/
  3. Finally got AWIPS to work on my home PC, thanks to SteveCop and JWSmith. Really nice stuff. https://github.com/jaredwsmith/nws-unidata-awips-compat You need a subscription from Allisonhouse to get the data, it's $19/month. https://www.allisonhouse.com/awips/configure
  4. That's a good plot...even the upper percentiles keep the AO near neutral or ever so slightly positive. I think @tombo82685 or @Rainshadow did some research and found that a -AO in December generally correlates to a -AO for most of the winter.
  5. @mappy we're gonna get some snow today
  6. One heck of a sunrise this morning. Winter sun rise/set is the best.
  7. Agreed. The Pacific sets up the incoming trajectory. If it's coming from a bad angle, we're kinda cooked from the start.
  8. Agreed. December 2005 and 2009 were exceptions in this regard.
  9. 12, 15, 17, or 31 would really calm the room
  10. Energy transfer off Chincoteague at the same time. Storm should generate it's own cold air after that. Locked and loaded!
  11. Move that thing 50 miles SE and everyone wins.
  12. If we end up with less snow, we reserve the right to sacrifice you to the gods for next winter.
  13. Yes. By this time last year, it was clear we were headed to a record low snowfall winter. This year people are jumpy after having nearly 3 consecutive shut outs years. With that said, the AO is definitely trending in a better direction and while it's been some shots of cool air, we aren't in a sustained 50s to 70s in December. There is absolutely nothing worse than 60s on Christmas in the mid latitudes (well except for 34 and a driving rain).
  14. The lack of any cold air in the CONUS this year is stunning.
  15. It is. If I ever retire early, my wife and I plan to nobo the Appalachian Trail.
  16. We went up to Northport, ME for a wedding 2 years ago, then drove to Bar Harbor for 3 days. Incredible experience, but too close to the coast. I'd move to somewhere between Milo and Millinocket if given the chance.
  17. I mean, it was a sarcastic post in the banter thread. I wasn't being a deb. It's a La Ninna year so I'm keeping myself based in reality. Hoping to move to Maine someday and finally see winter again.
  18. Well that was our 60 minutes of winter. Good stuff folks, catch ya next year!
  19. ^It's snowing and the horses have flipped upside down. We truly are in the end times.
