yoda Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Is it bad that this is one of the first memes that I think of when I see Ji post about blue/snow... and complain that there is none? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we were walking, the thought "It'll be nice when spring is here" came into my mind. Still feels like early november. You could be in shorts.

I don’t know what it was like up here but where I lived there was an early Dec storm and then literally nothing until the second weekend of Feb. That kicked off an epic 6 week period that culminated with the greatest storm ever, the 93 superstorm (all hail the Superstorm) I was further south in 92/93, so no idea what it did up here. I was also 8/9 and didn't pay attention enough to remember snow back then lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldie 22 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I don't know guys, to the best of my knowledge it hasn't really snowed yet in January and this week looks like it might not snow....i'm just spit balling here but I'm saying through January 15th it's not looking so good.

WxUSAF Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 CWG out with a snow futility article today co-written by our own @Ian. Longest stretch on record now without a 0.5” or greater snow at DCA. 694 days. I think DC is also at or near the longest time without a low temp at or below 22F. Yes, some of this is bad luck. A lot is not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time 5th grade me had gotten back into following weather after being sad over March 6 2013 (surprisingly I have 0 recollection of 13/14, unfortunately), but yeah that was also an epic stretch.

Definitely not a "i want to drink 4 of these" beer. Thick, flavorful, caramel-ish, coffe-ish. More of a heavy winter beverage IMO. A simple guinness is a stout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like that drink looks pretty good I’m torn on Charra. I HOPE it works out? Last time we had a fossil on D (Orpik), we won the Cup. Morning After from Hysteria was just canned like 20 mins ago. My favorite batch yet. Gotta love coffee though. It’s pretty much an iced 7% ABV coffee with soft cocoa and vanilla throughout. Types that as I sip the new Piney The Panda DIPA. Holy! 8.5%. West / East Coast hybrid. Can I get some PNA love one day day soon to help us with our snow dreams in the East!? LOLz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will admit that I am not a big alcohol drinker -- and I don't drink anything that's heavily carbonated really cause I just don't like it lol (don't drink any sodas or beers... will do wine once in a while)... are stouts lightly carbonated? The bolded sounds pretty good since I used to get those types of drinks from Starbucks (minus the alcohol ofc). Since I live in N VA... would I have to travel up there pick up a few of those? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember 4-8" range here before the wind driven rain . And ofcourse Mar 1993 SS I was in NYC for that December '92 event. Incredible storm in the city. Winds gusting to near hurricane strength. Waves at the Battery that came over the sea walls, and the FDR underwater. Lost power where I was staying for most of a day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobalt Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Quote I agree. You are becoming a solid poster btw. You have done it right- read a lot, and post sparingly. Make your posts count. Good job. @CAPE Thanks for the kind words. I know I'm not up to par with some of the expert posters here, but their collective knowledge has certainly helped with my understanding of meteorology these past few years. I checked back to when I first started posting in December 2017 and.. I honestly can't believe you guys managed to bare with me through all my weenieisms :p but I guess everyone has to start somewhere. Snow hardships certainly helped to quell my weenie ways that winter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbmclean Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I'm getting the urge to see more that what Tropical Tidbits has to offer so am considering dipping my toe into a pay sight. My big interest right now is temperature forecasts. I would love to be able to see the temperature spread across the various ensemble members. Anyone have any recommendations for pay sites? I mean Weatherbell is the big one I know. Just interested in knowing if there are any other good options available for temperature stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowLover22 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I was 16 when I first joined the forum. I have to admit, I learned quickly quantity is not nearly as good as quality. My posts are few and far between (26 total posts) between December 15th- January 15th. And used to post much more frequently with little value. Presently, having taken quite a few college-level meteorology courses have helped with most recently taking an upper-level mesoscale meteorology course which will hopefully allow me to contribute when we get to severe weather season as it seems that the most important aspects of severe weather do happen on the mesoscale with there obviously being synoptic components. Lastly, I have not yet taken Synoptic meteorology which is why I still am not great with posts in regards to winter weather threats but I hope to be able to take that course next year. I hope to be able to contribute more as I continue my education in meteorology. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
