Nearly six hours unfortunately. NC has a couple of rinky-dink ski areas which aren't much closer. Went to one once but predictably it was in the middle of a warm period so it was kind of pathetic. Still had fun though. I have tried to interest the wife in a compromise with snowshoeing, but she still has no interest. She hates cold.

I have heard that said repeatedly, but I have to admit that I am skeptical. From my understanding, it is clear that model verification scores have significantly improved over the last two decades, so I have a hard time envisioning why they would become more volatile. Perhaps the weather itself has become more volatile and therefore more difficult to simulate? But again, that should show up in decreased verification scores.

I've wanted to get onto skiing for a while. Living in eastern NC with parents who have no interest didn't start me off well. My wife has no interest in it, so not much hope of it anytime soon.

Man I have enjoyed the seasonal-to-cool aspect of the first half-of December, but man I wish that the Pac puke had chosen that time to go apesh!t instead of right at Christmas.
-
Eh, only took it until D8/9 to cave. The more painful ones are when it is insistent at like D4/5 and then caves.
-
I have always suspected that the population of snow weenies in the upper NY snow belt is probably pretty small, just for that reason.
-
Were you depressed because all the snow didn't make you truly happy, or just because the season was over and you still wanted snow?
-
A very wet day. 1.67" so far.

Hello FLweather. It is nice to see a regular poster from FL on this board. We are pretty heavily skewed to the Carolinas.
-
Ah, the famed Carolina crusher. Raleigh got 21 or 22 inches. Baffled our forecasters in a good way.
-
I am interested in how it caves. Will it be all at once, or will it be gradual over a couple of days?
-
Depends on what you mean by hostile. Right at Christmas 2017 the weather turned chilly, then cold then bitter. I think that was a +EPO cold dump. But it was bone dry

I love that movie.

GEFS shows MJO skipping the maritime area and looping back to 1. Perhaps why it is not yet seeing the nasty Pacific. EPS has a spaghetti bomb in the COD.
-
Yes, he posted it earlier today, but the situation has not improved.
-
-PNA and +EPO. Not so much a fly in the ointment as a buzzard.

Another post from Bob Chill.

Exactly the opposite of what we want. BobChill posted this image in the MA thread.

Been lurking in the MA thread. Things were looking up yesterday, but today has been an absolute disaster in the LR. Apparently the PAC is setting up to become super hostile just in time to completely defeat an apparent -NAO/-AO episode.
-
Well went to bed last night feeling good. Euro had at least partially caved to the GFS on the TPV, hints of serious cold right before Xmas etc. Woke up and the first post was PSU saying "So much for the torch". Then it all went downhill.
-
I am curious why large ares of the west are "missing" shown in white. Is it because they are at high elevation, and the 850 HP level is at or below the surface?
-
That cold snap was very memorable for me. Hit 0 at my house for the first time. Ponds frozen over for the only time in my memory. Heck there was fringe ice forming at the outer banks. For me, that was worth five 'big" (for NC) snows.
-
That well-timed lobe was much celebrated down in NC. I do not expect that luck to be repeated. I am just trying to avoid the Torchmass threat.
-
I can sympathize. I am a Dolphins fan, so I have been wandering in the wilderness for whats seems like forever. I still care though.
-
I am curious, are there any Redskins fans left in the MA, or has decades of frustration run them all off?
