MN Transplant

NAM 3km looks fine. On the 12km NAM, the striking thing is the below freezing temps down to 975mb. If that holds, it won’t matter a bit what the surface starts at.

00z HRRR held serve. It is on an island with wanting to keep the first low intact for much longer, leading to a warm ESE fetch. The other models all kill off that low early so that we get a nice track just S of Richmond. Sometimes the HRRR wins. I’m not betting on it here. 41.5/21

That’s still cooler than the HRRR

The multiple outside tosses to Cook from the 2 yard line drove me crazy! That is a much better play when everyone is spread out, not when the LBs are within 2 yards of the line of scrimmage!

Cough. My fitbit heart rate was elevated for the entire 4th Q and OT.

NorthArlington is right. The peak rates were tremendous, but not unprecedented. I hit around 10”/hr on my VP2, but I’ve seen that number before. The difference was the length of the high rates. Visibility was poor, like a good snowfall, but not a complete white-out blizzard. The other interesting part was that this was effectively one big cell. The other times that we get dumped on (eg. Lee in 2011 or Ellicott City) it is due to a training/redeveloping situation. This was just a monster rain-producing cell that moved through.

This is it. That was an amazing wall of water.

Feels like we just had a Spring shower move through. 58.6 and the sun is out.

64 at home. Same at DCA/IAD. Torch!

I think I had given up on Boxing Day before others had, so I never really count that as a horrible miss. Plus, we were one year removed from 09-10. In March 2013 I squeezed out 4" and got the day off, so that wasn't as awful either. My disappointment was my second winter here ('05-'06). I thought I was going to get one of the classic noreasters that I'd watched on the Weather Channel for so many years. Instead, Feb. '06 came and it drizzled, snowed some overnight (8"), and then melted rapidly. What a dud after I had built up expectations for it.

NAM 3km continues to advertise a few rogue snow squalls later tomorrow. The HRRR isn't as sure that they get past the mountains, but preference to the northern areas for those that do.

Over 2” of precip in the last week or so. Soggy mess outside.

I think you have FCPS’s ear. Not even a delay so far this year.

0.10” precip, Trace of sleet/snow. All rain now and 33.7.

Finally got our nice day. 54.7 and sunny.

39.7 and rain. Awful day.

Very pleased with how well the snow cover held on in the shade. Less than a half inch of snow, highs topping 40, and yet there is still white on roofs and shaded grass.

12/11: 0.4"

0.4”

12z HRRR went inverse-HDRPSRDSRSD. 0.0" along the 95 corridor and not much better elsewhere.

I'm a simple man. I see a Gary Gaetti reference, and I give it a like.

When he went down last night I was sure it was the last play he'd have in a Vikings uniform. Guess we have to suffer for 4-5 more games. The play calling on that drive confused the hell out of me. There was plenty of time left, multiple TOs, and a Seattle team that is playing the short passing game. How do you not run on one of those downs? Especially 3rd and 3 where you know that you still have 4th down in your pocket.

Looks like it’ll be the coldest since 2014, though last year was chilly too.

Best winds here were overnight at 3-4pm. They should kick up again soon.
