Prestige Worldwide Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I really enjoy reading the boards of most of the regions. You can typically know what the post is going to be about just seeing the name of the poster. It's amazing- middle ground be darned- certain people always post models that show warmth, while others argue their cold weather agenda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, in that world one door closes and another opens on the regular, without a doubt. I have full faith that you'll find your feet again quickly should you find yourself needing it.

I'll work harder than ever to rebuild. The stepping stones that are placed in front of our feet often direct us towards the unknown. Yet strangely enough, upon looking back at those course changes, we come to realize why that stone appeared when it did. Or as Douglas Adams said I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

I generally don't dwell too much on the inevitable curveballs that hit us all in life, but it's nice to have an outlet to share things with people I've grown to care about (relatively anonymously) I'm moving forward and remaining optimistic. I'm considering leaving the region, which opens up another can of worms personally lol, but I have no doubt that things will work out. Leave. Get out while you can, before you experience a "true" southern mid-atlantic winter. You got a taste of it last December; you don't want to live through 3 months of that if you can avoid it. Best of luck to you, either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErinInTheSky Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Moving to DC on December 12th from Louisiana with the wife and kid. I have experienced snow maybe 5 times in my entire life. I am huge into meteorology and moderate the /r/weather subreddit on Reddit, which is a fairly popular sub, and run /r/tropicalweather which has had tens of thousands watching during Hurricane Matthew. Now, I will have a completely new type of storm to track, winter storms! I am extremely excited and just curious from those of you from the area: What is the snow situation generally like in Rockville/Olney/Gaithersburg?

Haha, well, being that I am a tropical weather enthusiast, I've dealt with enough busted Atlantic seasons the last 10 years - its a different exercise in frustration for sure. Snow would be nice though, and honestly, for me, 2" will probably give me the same enjoyment 12" gives the rest of the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can rely on at least a couple snow events each winter in the near suburbs, with a chance for blockbuster storms. We run the gamut of storm varieties, with real ice storms being the least likely event for us. Depending on the year, areas near the fall line (which is right by I95) can flirt with changeovers pretty regularly, and we sometimes fall on the right side of the temp boundary and sometimes on the wrong side. Either way, your winter weather will be much more variable than it is in the Deep South, with a chance for some really fun stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
