CAPE Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 For the Ravens game, rain may not be much of an issue(maybe later in the game), but wind will be a factor. Gusts up to 30 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I booked a week with our RV at Myrtle first full week of April. Hope it's 80 that week. I'm quickly learning the most stressful part of owning an RV is planning ahead and booking sites. Maintenance and towing is simple compared to reserving. Some have to be booked a year in advance. Others you have to compete as sites are released on a rolling basis.

It has decent insulation and a propane furnace so we wouldn't freeze to death. Just might get stuck for a day or month or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we did somehow get stuck...I'd be good for a week but after that Bills would start piling up in my mailbox . Nice truck man! My next is a 3/4 or 1 ton diesel. Might go Ram/cummins. Love powerstrokes but g damn they are pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up SE of Philly in NJ in an equally awful spot. Not any worse than a lot of places SE of 95 near water, but definitely not a good spot compared to places west of the fall line. I understand the job issue. Barring changing jobs and simply moving where there is a lot more snow like New Hampshire, if you went NW from APG (I assume you work there) you would do better. I don’t know how far you’re willing to go. I commute about 38 miles and an hour each way. If you went that far NW you could get to some places in southern PA with an elevation near 1000 feet that do good (like 35” avg 30”median). The hills near New Park in PA. But that area is pretty rural. Even if you just got into NW Hartford County NW of Bel Air you would still do better. The other option are the hills in SE PA northwest of Wilmington. They do ok. But those places still won’t suddenly be deep winter all the time. If you want snow on the ground a lot of winter you need to move further away then even where I live. Like the mountains in New England or western MD. That’s just not our climo here. But if you would be happy simply getting a couple decent snowstorms per year MOST years moving 45 mins NW would do that for you. Thanks again for your help and in the location information! Maybe I need to split the difference and find an area that gets more snow but is still a reasonable commute into work. It won't be ideal snowise, but it will be better than what I have here. I honestly think I might average less snowfall than DC and its strange that I have the same climo as Atlantic City. So its just not a good area. Too far east to do well in marginal events, too far west for a lot of coastal stuff. This garbage pretty much sums it up. Look at my location. That is what coastal storms often do for me, and as we saw last week, that is what I get from marginal events. Nothing. I win neither way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbmclean Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I have am beginning to suspect that the Pacific Doom Blob achieved sentience some time last week and has determined that the most effective way to feed off of our tears it to temporarily lay low and let the models depict a false pattern shift only to pop up at the last minute to crush our dreams. It's called torture by hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called torture by hope. Look at the irony though. The doom blob was caused by the massive aleutian ridge in the npac. That same ridge gets sucked into the high latitudes and becomes a -NAO. So we can actually thank the hideous Pac for potentially saving winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
