Perfect vacation day to BBQ, beers, sun tan, just relish winter's glory 715 AM Update... Bumped up high temperatures even further today. Temperatures starting off higher than previously forecast. Opted to nudge things up to the 99th percentile of guidance, which bumped temperatures up a few more degrees. Highs ranging from the mid 60s to mid 70s inland. Coastal areas remain a bit cooler with readings ranging from the mid 50s to the low 60s. Rest of the forecast remains on track.

I <3 winter.

we spread Coronavirus updates live: 1st case confirmed in nation's capital

doesn't matter what the season or weather, wouldn't want to live anywhere near DC

Wow

Missing 99% of our subforum is the fantasy?

You can have my clubs for low $ if you want decent ones with the fixings that set lacks - 3-5 irons, sw, upgraded ping putter. I can't play for the foreseeable future

We are reaching record highs in more ways than one...I have never seen so much wx related angst and despair in my life, as 2020. A great psych case study and no one really needs to troll either

Foxborough averages very close to Franklin, MA. And that is more than 40" long-term no matter which averages you want to use. Not only is Foxborough closer to Franklin geographically, most of Foxborough is 300-500' (like Franklin) asl while Taunton mostly below 200'. Gillette Stadium is >400'. I grew up there and know the climo a little. It's not what you think it is.

The vast majority of NW NJ averages around 40-60" generally depending upon elevation, that's basically the same as Foxborough (45-50")

watching and hoping others get exciting weather is all we have the next several weeks

06z gfs D11-12 is sick wind profile, probably a good event in there for the MW or etc. Want

Ad infinitum it seems.

Ensembles are pretty mild through D10. we'll be in a precarious position for toughing though, beyond that timeframe too. On one hand we'll be on the east side or at times under a building ml ridge. Also it looks like the EPO will become more negative with time. On the other, teles seem to show a generally weakly to somewhat-pna, + to +++ ao and generally +nao. Still I'm thinking we end up with mostly solid positive departures for a while, despite Spring cutoff season and the typical (or maybe slightly less) bouts of misery mist/possible mountain snows.

Acatt already concerned with the upcoming 60's +

Maybe a minor snow/mix event and a few cool shots, in an ocean of warmth. that's what we are looking at. Take

we've had better frosts in the summer

crappy?

approved

gorgeous Sun/Mon still on track. Take The ridge axis builds eastward into the Great Lakes down to the Southeastern US on Sunday. The surface high builds eastward into the Carolinas and eventually offshore, but this will continue relaxing the pressure gradient. It still may be a bit breezy as there is still roughly 15-20 kts of wind to tap into the mixed layer, but much lighter in comparison to Saturday. Temperatures will rebound as flow aloft shifts to a westerly direction, which advects warmer air in. Expect 0 to +5 degree Celsius 850 hPa air to advect in. Highs rebound into the mid 40s and low 50s across the region. Will see southwesterly warm air advection into Monday where +5 to +8 degree Celsius 850 hPa air moves in. This will continue to upward trend in temperatures. Highs will generally be in the 50s, but expect several spots to see readings in the lower 60s.

Yea brah

Marijuana is physically dangerous, even if you eliminate the smoking aspect. it causes/has been known to cause anxiety, panic attacks, heart issues, it can stunt mental development esp. in people under 21, it's also linked to kick-starting what is/were dormant or emerging brain disorders such as schizophrenia. The culture of nonchalant, acceptance and even promotion is silly, period

Both are dangerous, both have short term and long term effects. Marijuana is worse health-wise, unless someone is drinking very heavily (BEYOND two drinks/day). Then I'd say it is about equal or eventually, the alcohol is worse if we are talking about toxic levels of drinking The whole weed fad and recreation is great for stoners, prices came way down due to influxes of b-c grade on the underground market. I don't care what others do honestly...it is just innocent ribbing. But those who are flippant about either ones risks are pretty silly
