Looks like we both smoke cirrus this weekend.

I purchased my first snowblower in the fall of 2016 when we moved to Maryland. We've been cursed since. I'm sacrificing it on the front lawn this weekend in front of the nativity scene to see if that changes thing.

Well south. UKMET always seems to show what the Euro had about 12 - 24 hours ago though. 00z will probably be north of 12z.

Agreed. I started in meteorology but transferred to Geography and then went through the MS, Emergency Management program at Millersville. It's lead to a decent career. Big message is that you have to be comfortable with moving a fair distance for your first job. You might have to move cross country for a 'meh' position to put your time in. If you're going to stick with meteorology that's great...seriously the field isn't all doom and gloom like some make it out to be. You just have to find what keeps your interest going and push through hard. Take internships, do research and don't forget about working started help desk positions for things like Raytheon (they make AWIPS) or Michael Baker. My RA in college started in the private sector and it boosted his career quickly once he got into NWS.

How do you place the soap? In a pantry hose or something?

Heh, that western band is literally hugging I-91 for all it's worth.

Man this is a beautiful event to witness, too bad it's not hitting DC -> BOS. Congrats all.

So question for the group...any ideas why BOX hasn't extended the Blizzard Warning further west into RI? Providence and Newport are certainly meeting the criteria. I know it's for 3 consecutive hours, but conditions appear to be only worsening through midday.

True dat

When, if ever, do you think we will have an ice free summer in the arctic?

That was an epic few days with you, me and Anthony looking at the SREFs and ensembles.

This is quite impressive. A cool summer that has owned my garden from start to finish.

I don't know where else to put this:

Thank you for posting this. Very informative!

Very nice. Where did you get the base map?

I was in Lancaster at the time, and just completed my last undergraduate finals. Graduation was the next day, but when I saw the north trend the night before, I packed up early on the 18th and drove back to Philadelphia while the roads were still good. I was quite happy to have gotten out of there and back to Philly because my neighborhood consists of tiny streets that never get plowed in a 6" snowstorm, let alone an 18" event.

You should check out Millersville University's met program too. There are tons of undergraduate research / internship opportunities that MU can assist you with. Link to Earth Sciences dept: http://www.millersville.edu/esci/
