Where's Phineas? Not much to say about Lamar today I guess.

Yup. Pressure is off. We have a have great Defense and best kicker. If we Play KC don't forget mahomes hasn't played in 3 weeks and wasnt paying that great before that. Buffalo is tough but there defense isn't great. Love our chances going forward.

I was thinking about that 2 week period quite a bit leading in to this winter. maybe it's just a hunch or wishful thinking but it is on the table. Our good window really doesn't start until the 15th. This upcoming week still may workout but it looks like we got a bit of a head fake. When our official window gets here its look like well have 2-3 weeks to score. Hopefully there is a reload and we get extend into first 2 weeks of February. We know it has to break down but hopefully we max out on length of favorable indices. Whether or not we enter a 2-3 week stint of deep winter like in 2000 is the million dollar question. For those too young to remember I'll give recap of how that period in January 2000 played out. Horrible 1st 2 weeks of January. Pattern changed on the 18th. Very cold cloudy day with a small clipper that dropped only a half inch of snow but snarled traffic around DC. Only virga from Baltimore northward. Then a nice quick moving system dropped 3-6 inches to kick start the run. The next day was very windy and cold. There was a potential storm on the 23rd but it failed and resulted in flurries. Then of course the 25th we all know about. The next storm was on the 30 th superbowl sunday. Forecast busted in a positive way for northemwest burbs. 4-8 inches fell and never changed over even though most forecast were for 1-3 and a change to a mix then rain. Stayed chilly after that storm for a few days with some snow showers then winter ended. I got 26 inches in Reisterstown all in a 10 day stretch.

Whether or not we go to "constant warmth" from mid month onward remains to be seen however as of this current moment there is absolutely zero evidence that supports that prediction.

Good luck Washington fans. I'm pulling for you. I don't see how anyone root against Smith except for Giants fans.

Euro has been very dry in recent runs. It will probably increase liquid in future runs. I think we could see a period of few hours of snow after a changeover from rain. Perhaps 1-2 although I could see getting nothing just as likely as getting a nice 3-4 inch surprise.

Those were the days. I can remember the stadium shaking from the roar of the crowd. You might remember home owners charging to park your in car in front of their house when the games were sold out.

Bored too. I'm actually watching a replay of game 2 of the 1983 World Series on MASN. The last World series game played in Baltimore. I was at the game with my father. I was 10 years old. Anybody that knew how good the O's were from 1966-1983 would've have bet their life savings that we would be going on 38 years without returning to the WS.

Same here.

If I remember correctly the ensembles didnt look that great on the 10th after looking great for days before. There was a mini panic and then we all know what happened 13 days later.

Yes, typo. Approximately 25-26.

Coldest run I've seen so far. Gets us down into the mid 30's early Friday morning.

It's been very light snow for that past few hours. Windy at time with a light dusting. Temp around 20.

Getting a nice little burst.

Very light snow.

Another strong front that produced rapidly falling temps and a quick 2-3 hour period of snow resulting in a couple inches occurred March 1995. Can't remember exact date.

I think it was a Saturday night. Walked outside from a party to find 2 inches on the ground and snow winding down. Totally unexpected and was like wtf.

All you have to do is invite all the Republicans in Congress over and you'll have your white Christmas. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

1/12/96 was the 6-10 There may have been a sharp cutoff. Not sure exactly but I think Finksburg was in the meat of it. I thought the CCB band included Frederick and even Hagerstown on the extreme west end of it.

Never. Maybe exhaustion sets in but no quit.

I'll list events that busted in our favor. Some were major. Sorry if some have been mentioned already. 1/23/87: This was the first of 2 big storms to hit out region. Most forecast we're for 2-4/3-6 with the possibility of changing to rain. Instead a lot of areas saw a foot or more with temps falling through the 20's 2/20/79: Blizzard of 79. Most forecast were for a decent size storm but not for 20 inches. 2/12/83: Blizzard of 83. Same as above. Amounts over 2ft. 12/8/13: Already mentioned by Fozz 1/9/96: This was 2 days after the blizzard. A disturbance/clipper produced 3-6. Forecast was for a few flurries with some areas getting a dusting. 1/4/2002: A clipper overproduced and some got up 5-6 inches. Forecast was for C-2. Late December 1990. I think it was the 28th or 29th. Forecast was for some snow but this storm over produced. 4-8 inches in a 4-6 hour period. 12/7/2007: A clipper gave some areas up to 6 inches. 1/25/2000: already mentioned 1/30/2000: northern suburbs got 4-8 when forecast was for 1-3 then mix. 2/12/2006: an awesome deform band produced amounts up to 16-20 inches in areas like Columbia, Randallstown, Reisterstown etc. No forecast called for more than 10-12. Most forecast were for 5-10. 12/25/2002: northern suburbs got 5-7. Not well forecasted. Here are some more without details 3/9/99 2/25/2007 to some extent 1/10/99 to some extent 11/11/87 Probably forgetting a few more.

True winter day. We just dont get enough if these. Love the cloud cover with snow on the ground.

He's probably thinking of the event that followed the front a couple days later. Low pressure stayed a bit to the south producing 3-6 over the region. A few spots may have gotten 8. It happened on a Monday night into Tuesday morning. Extremely cold temps.

A few flurries.

Went with 10.0 for final total for event. 10.5 may be slightly ambitious.
