For this year, at least.

I've said this before, but Philly's snowfall climate is very similar to that of our area from 95 and west. They average a little more - mostly because they will get snow from later-developing Miller Bs when we don't - but it makes sense that their crap years would be the same as ours.

You could argue that it's more of an "it's staying warmer at night" than "it's getting warmer at night," but it doesn't change what's actually happening on the ground.

Good thing is that the upslope looks to crank after our cutter this weekend!

I've found this page to be really enlightening when it comes to seeing the snowfall anomalies across the US over the years. https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/national/202202/supplemental/page-5 Hard to point to one place in one year to make a sweeping claim that the changing base state is affecting everywhere in the same way.

The strange thing about that GFS run is that the low off the Carolinas has just retrograded like 750 miles from southeast of Bermuda to where it is in that panel due to - and then gets stuck under - that massive Quebec block (for lack of a better term).

Sorry you got greyed. I'll watch my first flakes fall and then watch them melt.

This new mutation came a the "perfect" time to make itself known. With American family gatherings from Thanksgiving through the New Year, it was ideal for it to rip through the country. Of course it's hitting other places around the world, as well, but as for the MBY experience, this was just the perfect storm. Hope all of you who have any respiratory issues feel better soon!

I haven't seen one flake of snow so far this winter, so if I have to stay up to see a little white rain, it'll have to do.

This thread is a lifesuck.

OK...reports are now out that it was Gio's mom, Danielle, who called Earnie Stewart, the USSF Sporting Director about the events from 30 years ago. She has confirmed it. It's like a soap opera!

News broke less than 48 hours ago about the accusations. Folks have been trying to figure out who the "leaker" was, and for it to be Claudio Reyna is absolutely massive. For those who don't know who Claudio is, he's not just Gipvanni Reyna's dad, but he was also the US men's captain for a long time about 20 or so years ago and was one of the most successful American players to play in Europe. He was also really good friends with Gregg Berhalter from high school forward, so for him to be the person who did this is absolutely f'ing mindblowing for those of us who have been fans for decades. What a sh*tshow, but I'm kinda loving the drama.

Seriously. So clickbaity.

I personally think just going with ENSO analogs is lazy, especially since it seems we’ve not seen real atmospheric coupling this season, but I’m just a no-nothing weather layperson, so what I think holds no weight.

The Euro at 240 is like the GFS at 240 - a global op at 240. Ensembles are all looking tasty as we get into the middle of the month. Keep that up and we’ll at least have plenty to talk about.

No. No.

This hasn’t been nearly as interesting as I was hoping, even after I gave up on any sort of snow.

FFS…front isn’t even through and the power is out in my little piece of Burke.

Very cool. Arctic fronts have always resulted - and will always result - in big temp swings in winter. Neat to see this one join the ranks of some of the more notable ones.

What he didn’t say is that this woman is a MTG clone.

I’m honestly shocked to see the Maryland school systems that have school this week. Fairfax is off all this week and next!

Give a man a fire and he’ll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he’ll be warm forever.

Without snowcover, that would be a really impressive temperature for that site.

I hope that big slug of moisture coming in from the SW cools the column just enough to bring us even colder rain.
