Fozz Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Why would any sane person prefer it to be in the low 40s and cloudy than 60 and sunny? It boggles the mind! Because it's winter now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 People here are just whacked. You'd think more folks could see gray but apparently not. There have been some posts the past day or two that might become extremely quotable over the coming months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedtobe Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 just put your fishing rod away Wes and you'll fell better I'd have to also put my golf clubs away.. Frozen ground may make for long rolling drives but isn't good when you hit the ball fat. If we start getting blocking, I'll change my tune.

Called it back in September with the grayest forecast ever on AmWX. 06-07 was my top analog and the king of the 40N winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I hear ya, was interpreting gray as 'Nostradamus mode'.More like black and white v gray. even with the worst pattern ever canceling winter in Dec is nonsensical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gymengineer Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 lol.... 06-07 was anything but a 40N winter Yeah, I didn't understand the comment either. Just in the past 10 winters, there are at least four that are much better examples of a 40N winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in the past 10 winters, there are at least four that are much better examples of a 40N winter. I remember that winter as particularly snowless towards the coast, may of been 05-06 tho. Either way it was pretty meh locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 pretty sure it was '82. I vividly recall a Christmas Eve as a young kid playing b-ball outside in shorts and sweating up a storm. I know early Dec 82 was abnormally warm, around the 4th. That is when my sis got married and temps were in the 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 lol.... 06-07 was anything but a 40N winterIt was a decent winter for the I-70 and I-68 corridor. It was my first winter in WV, and the 26" that I measured added up to average for this area, but felt like a snowy season to me. If 2-13/14 had done better than 3" of snow followed by 3" of sleet, it would have been an above-average year here.From 1/20 to 2/20, I recorded only three 40+ high temps, 12 single digit lows, and besides the VD Storm, Berkeley county also met WSW criteria on 2/7, 2/26, 3/7-8, and 3/16-17. I would be happy with a two-month stretch like that again this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be happy with a two-month stretch like that again this winter. It was certainly one of the more interesting and unique winters we've had in the past 10 years... the first half of it was absolutely horrendous, worse than 01-02, and for a while, StormchaserChuck's forecast for the warmest winter ever didn't seem unreasonable. But then the pattern flipped, almost like 1989-90 in reverse. I loved the second half, and other than last winter I think it was the best cold stretch we've had in the past 10 years. Especially into February, I just couldn't believe the kind of cold we were getting and how persistently it held on. It was BWI's coldest February since 1979, colder than Feb '03. From the VD storm, my area got 5" of cement from that VD storm.... on one hand I was really bummed that it didn't turn out to be a MECS, but once it happened, it ended up being something I had never seen before and just as crippling as a KU storm. It was also the winter that I learned how to ski, and several times we arrived to snow falling at the resort. Great times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 It seems to want to be a sleety pattern and sleety month. I think the storm next week could be a pile of.sleet. Sleethead Leesburg is happy as sleet right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BristowWx Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 If you extrapolate the 6z nam it looks to be a coastal hugger...do we dare. Well someone had to do it. Euro keeps throwing backend light snow to parts of MD . yes it would. Just checked but I still think rain even if it hugged at least for me. perfectly positioned lows with no cold air would be a real kick in the chestnuts if that becomes the theme for winter.

mappy Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 During her weather segment this morning, Ava said she was watching the Monday/Tuesday time period. That the system we get this weekend may stall and a low could form from it, then combine with the system out west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro has a strong 500mb closed low pass right over head basically, but it only gives us flurries/sprinkles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
