Bob Chill Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 20 minutes ago, leesburg 04 said: To Bob's credit he talks about patterns conducive to snow not so much cold. Pretty much all I do. We have a lot of recent experience with a strong unblocked -epo pattern so it's not hard to envision what it implies if current progs are correct. Cold is prob inbound but locked in cold is unlikely without some semblance of blocking in the Atl. No sign of that so hurry up and wait for a week and maybe a discrete threat appears. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a little concerning. I feel confident with Ingram protecting the ball. Now Hill is the 2nd back and young players with little experience always seem to be good for turnover.

Hopefully Ingram is healthy enough to at least get some limited carries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been a trend of a big lull in the precip field for Saturday afternoon and most of the evening prior to the front. Could be spitting drizzle during the game, but actual light rain is looking less and less prominent. Would bode well for us. Fingers crossed it stays the course. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the last 24-48 hours of runs have been trying to keep things drier...I think I've tracked this storm more than any other rainstorm before, lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestrobjwa Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 1 hour ago, North Balti Zen said: Here's a question that always comes up when I read the long range cold disco - I am never quite sure what each person is chasing. I mean, we simply need "cold enough" air masses to support big storms, we don't need bay freezing cold at all (in fact, I don't want that as it almost always murders snow chances due to suppression). Hard to tell when reading the discos if people complaining about mixed signals for cold are talking about DEEP cold or just cold enough. Get some cold air nearby and an active southern stream and let's see what happens... This--tbh, we went through enough of that during the 2017-18 season! Suppression is a la nina special...lol Only time in recent memory that we had bone chilling cold AND good snow in a season was the 2013-14 winter...(and perhaps the 2014-15 winter too?) And I think the Jan 2016 Blizzard was the coldest big storm we've had in a long time! But as you said...we tend to have more big storms along the "just cold enough" temperature regimes!

Plus just the fact that Ingram was the feature back all year and played outstanding. I felt all year that besides Jackson it was Ingram that was very steady and consistent and found the end zone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts on wind? I don't think it will be that strong but am a little worried. Lamar definitely plays better in good weather. Unlike Flacco who was as impervious to cold and wind as he was to every other external stimulus. Here's a crazy fact I've uncovered: this will be the third time the Ravens have hosted a playoff game with kickoff temps in the 60s. 1/3/04 and 1/13/07 - both kickoff temp of 63, both Saturday games, both losses. What are the odds that of the 7 home playoff games the Ravens have ever had, 3 of them have been January days with mid-60s temps? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the fact that this is a pure night game, and is still going to be in the 60s makes it even more crazy! I personally think these conditions are shaping up nicely for Lamar. 60s and I don't think the winds will be all that bad. Maybe just slightly strong breezes.

I was at the 04 game - 100-year-old Gary Anderson made a 46-yard FG with 30 second left to lift the Titans to a 20-17 win. I swear it ticked off the crossbar as it went in. If it had been a degree colder, he never would have been able to kick it that far. It got a little chillier as the game went on but never got below mid-50s.
