My day job is a Firefighter, and with my schedule, I am able to live in Snowshoe part-time. I also have a rental that I manage here as well. The drive is 4 hours but it's worth it to get my 'snow fix'. Plus, summer here is amazing. Usually 75 with a nice breeze.... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lived in Mace for a summer and honestly i don’t think we hit 80 that summer and it was brutal in DC (2012). Got lost hiking one day near Spruce/Cheat Bridge in a massive storm and ended up bushwhacking through the wilderness (at night) 18-20 miles back to Mace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen my parents in Calvert since February, so we're going to visit outside spaced apart in their huge yard. A chilly 54 here at 1 PM. So glad today is the last day of winter finally. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowGolfBro Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Frost advisory tonight and might tickle 90 on Friday. I am really appreciating the cool breezy weather because this may be the last truly “cool” air for about 4 months 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakkelWx Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 hate those back door cold fronts.. worst kind of weather tbh. if i had to choose between BDCFs and 55 degrees and sunny, i'd pick the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There certainly does seem to be some agreement on a strong eastern ridge for the 2nd half of next week with some July-like 850mb temps.

North Balti Zen Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Kills me that the coldistas and the death ridge zealots are so active. God forbid we get a stretch of 70s. November lasted for six and a half months. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually a 9 day 'work week' where we work a total of 3-24 hour shifts, then off 4 days in a row. This is the time I come to Snowshoe. Comes out to 53 hours/week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Ended up with over 6 inches of rain today. This is very very highly unusual for central TX. Yearly total is now nearly 19 inches, in a climo that struggles to hit 30 inches in one year. It was very surreal today as I tried to complete chores down here on the mini farm of sorts, and the rain was just getting too damn heavy lmao!

Yep, east will flip from unusual chill, over to some warmth. TX will get pretty hot too. We might even get more rain Saturday, but far more likely to see high 80s with 69 dewpoints and sun.

CAPE Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 38 here this morning. Probably the last time I see 30s for a long while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 38 with a teeny bit of frost. Gonna be beautiful today. My tender annuals can finally go in the ground. Crazy that Sunday gets back doored from 80s to now possibly 60s and showery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And some indications of a low cutting off . Gefs http://www.atmos.albany.edu/products/gefsplots/F138.html Yeah. My point and click now has more of the same after a couple warm days. Low 60's and shi**y starting Saturday and lasting most of next week. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Nearby weather station shows a low of 29.5F. Currently 32F, with frost. This has been a truly memorable stretch of weather. I would bet, historic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nj2va Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 The craptastic spring looks to continue on guidance now after we finally see some warmth Friday and Saturday. GFS has highs in the 50s Sunday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Just awful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southmdwatcher Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Just glanced at 0z Euro and 0z/6z GFS and after the brief warmup Friday/Saturday, we get another cut off nearby/east and below normal temperatures. Yesterday the model's had some big heat for us in the medium/long range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
