It's more fun when storms show up 3 days prior..d10 might as well be next winter...tracking for 3 days is fun but 10 is not since they rarely pan out...I need one more good one to feel great about this winter

The big long trackers show up early on the models more often than not. Not saying I'm buying anything at d10 because the odds are low. But big miller A's can show up at long leads and stay there in some form or another for days. A nice west based -nao block helps quite a bit but we don't have that right now. But there are signs of stable confluence and a possible 50/50 at the right time.

If any pattern is going to show a storm on the models at long leads this season, this is the one. The chance for a big storm somewhere in the east is pretty decent in the d7-15 range. All we can do is enjoy the warmth and hope we get lucky later down the line.

Hooray for clouds tonight. temps will have a horrific time getting much below 39. Wouldnt be surprised if we hit 65 tomorrow. Heck I wouldn't be surprised if we spiked 70 tomorrow (Thursday). This warmup has developed into an all-out ROUT of the snow and winter. Its a massacre lmao. We were forecast to drop to 32 tonight. Scratch that. We just dropped to 39 and its coming up sunrise pretty soon. Clouds are an excellent way to keep temps from falling at night. We're getting an early start to another really warm spring day far more representative of late April than of mid to late February. I've got my spring wardrobe out of storage. I was jebwalking around in California board shorts and a summer t-shirt for krise sake on Wednesday. Who knows how hot it will get between now and Tuesday next week?

2011 was close. At least we got most of our sight-seeing done that year.

This was worse somehow. Literally nothing. We just hung out in Dallas the whole time. Thankfully not sure we could actually have a worse period than 2011

All this storm-chasing memories reminds me of Sonic. Ellicott City is getting a Sonic this spring allegedly and I'm pretty stoked. Right around the corner from my wife's work too. Cherry limeade and milkshakes…mmmm.

Sonic is life.. Thank god they don't have one near me. Lots of good memories start and end there.

The temps last night were weird. It jumped up to about 54 around 8:00 PM, and the dropped like a rock down to 29 before sunrise.

Harford County, MD

Downsloping then radiational cooling plus snow. Bam.

They're growing in our area slowly.  There's a few around.  One fast food I really wish would expand our way is Steak and Shake.  There's none in MD right now.  They're shakes are f*cking AWESOME.  That was my post-swing shift spot frequently when I was back in the AF.

I've never eaten at a Sonic. 

The closest one to you is probably the one on Rte 2 just outside of Annapolis. Really nothing special about the food, but they do have sweet potato tater tots, which are nice.

 

Stopped at one in SE Arkansas last winter and the walls in the bathroom were falling down, moldy, etc. Some of them are very classy.

Mostly classic greasy American. But there are little carports and often next to a hotel so free wifi. Plus usually the only thing open at 11p so a good post storm food grab. Spent most of the day before Bennington at one this yr too deciding to go west or east. It's my Dairy Queen I think.

I'm not much a a fast food guy though when driving south thru the Carolinas, I usually stop at a Quisnos or Subway.  I used to like Dairy Queen but got sick once after eating at one and now I stay away from them.

The death knell of any restaurant. I can barely drive by a red lobster let along going inside one. And it happened 15 years ago. It only takes once.
