Speaking strictly of temps….the air mass has been marginal on guidance for some time.

Of course guidance will change, but this was always going to be a storm running into a marginal air mass. Folks don’t pay attention.

We all know the drill. Know your local snow climo to avoid heartbreak. WPC probs below for > .25” frozen equivalent.

Definitely no shortage of precip.

lol. Yes. Everyone always waited for Matt to post the euro at some ungodly hour. I may have even set an alarm a few times just to check the euro. The hobby is bad addiction at times.

For anyone thinking of chasing this next storm to the mountains, the Canaan resort hotel and the lodge at blackwater falls state park in Davis have availability for the weekend. Blackwater falls lodge is very reasonable and the park is gorgeous in the snow. Easy access to timberline, Canaan, and whitegrass (if cross country or snowshoeing is your thing).

Those were the good ole days. Still have fond memories of enjoying the 09/10 winter on eastern and that crew.

If you were looking down from your mountain top chalet prone to deep winter conditions, would you settle?

Yep. If they beat Miami, they get the #2 seed and are then on the opposite end of the bracket from the Ravens.

A non zero chance the Ravens host the Bills in three weeks. When the Bills are on, they’re tough to beat and Allen is a PITA when he doesn’t make dumb mistakes. They’ve won 5 of 6 and are trending in the right direction.

Wintry in Canaan.

Happy Birthday!

Next round of snow for the mountains kicks in today. Similar amounts expected in WV for Canaan and Snowshoe.

We’ve reached the point in the winter season where orographic upslope enhancement for a 950 ft hill in Carroll County is being discussed. An annual tradition. Bow down to the mountain top.

Coffee lovers….any roasters in the general DMV area you recommend? And any specific roasts worth seeking out? I grind my own beans, so whole bean is preferred. a recent find that I really liked was the holiday roast from Chesapeake bay roasters based in crofton. Another favorite is the Tanzania Peaberry from Baltimore Coffee Co.

Season ticket holder since 2005 checking in. The opt outs today didn’t help on D, but the lack of a functioning offense in big games in recent years is troubling. There’s also no significant talent at the WR position right now making it even tougher on a “young” QB. I have hope for next year, but that’s really riding on the incoming offensive coordinator changing things up and hopefully some improvement at WR. With the expanded playoff starting next season, Franklin really needs to make it in to keep the fan base on board. ETA: that’s not to say Franklin hasn’t had success. Winning the Rose, Cotton and Fiesta bowls in recent years was great. Just seems like he’s been teetering on that good/great line and cannot get over the hump.

Please put him on a pitch count.

We know. You don’t need to keep repeating yourself. That’s what so many people keep trying to convey to you and you refuse to listen.

So there was nothing incorrect in my post? You just felt it necessary to make a subtle reference to climate change as you typically do. carry on everyone.

If there was anything incorrect in my post, feel free to state your position.

On the bright side, you’ve lived through our snowiest winter ever (to date) and not far removed from a 3 yr stretch where Dulles (closest to you?) averaged 30”. That’s not too common.

Damn. How young are you? BWIs current 10 year average is 16.7”, which is certainly not the lowest 10 yr avg in its reporting history. 10 year stretches in the 40/50s, 70s, 80s/90s all had lower averages.

219 just south of Thomas this morning.

Maybe your analysis was incorrect.
