psuhoffman Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Since the long range is now March we might as well start a new thread. Perhaps it will bring better luck. Models show a pattern that offers some potential at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I like how the March thread is open, and now the GFS is trying to give us just a little bit of love coming out of the Sunday/Monday cold snap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osfan24 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 It's very difficult to imagine any significant snow at this point, but you never know. All it takes is one fluke and you could get something. Not holding my breath. Honestly, unless it's something really significant (at least enough to really play with my daughter and build a snowman, etc), I'm good with 60's and an early move to spring. In some ways, I'm just rooting for a shutout at this point. I'd definitely take a historically awful winter over a small storm or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My quote was more a slam on DT then you... but what do you expect, I don't even know what I want, being the lazy government worker I am I can't be bothered to form a rational thought of my own.

I agree with this, I think its a long shot, but all were doing is discussing it, not like its any loss either way. We have pretty much given up so anything now would be a nice surprise.

osfan24 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 On another note, has this not been the most consistently windy 4 months you've ever seen? As someone who goes for daily runs, I can't stand wind, particularly in the winter. I feel like there has been a stiff breeze almost every day since October.

I was out of town last week, so out of natural curiosity I looked over my security camera captures to see if anything interesting happened. Somehow my front door kept getting blown open with all the wind. Like something out of a haunted house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 People complaining about the wind here (not exclusive to this thread) are roughly equivalent to people complaining about the cold in Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bulbs have come up and I've got at least a dozen ratty shrubs and bushes that need to be taken out in our garden. Bring on spring. I would root for a March snowstorm, but it'd have to be March '93 levels for me to get excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I hope it stays 65F until November. Just give me 2 nights in the teens in late March to kill off some early-wakened bugs and keep the grass from growing too early. And the flowers. I hate flowers.

I know, right. My wife was complaining about it saying we should move and I showed her that the mid-Atlantic is just about the least windy place in the CONUS except the central valley in California. She hates it when I bring facts like that into the conversation when all she really wanted was for me to say, "yes, the wind sucks, sorry it's bothering you".

nw baltimore wx Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 @BTRWx "BWI was .8" less than DCA in 1932! Amazing. http://www.weather.gov/media/lwx/climate/bwisnow.pdf" I'm not sure if it's more or less impressive, but keep in mind that in 1932, Baltimore's observations were from the Custom House downtown. BWI didn't open until June, 1950. Sadly, in that last winter of obs at the Custom House, a meek and very familiar 0.7" of snow fell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamHLG Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I am holding out for a March 1993 repeat. I am fairly certain on February 21, 1993 the folks on #IRC and #neweather didn't give up on winter and look what they got! I am not giving up either. I say keep the thread!

I have fun things to do outside when it hits 50 or higher. I believe as of march 1st the average high is 50 or close to it!!! Enjoy your computer watching!!

Nice story except you started this crap back in December. Some of us are going to track the weather regardless of results. You seem to only care if it's snowing over your house and decided a long time ago (just like every year that starts bad) that it's not going too. The last few times you pulled this bunk you were wrong. This time, like a broken clock twice a day, you may be right. Congrats. Here is your trophy. Now you have no need to come in here and say the exact same thing over and over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
