My fiancée (now wife) has no interest whatsoever in wx but was my partner on (my) our Midwest storm chase last spring. I paid for travel and treated her to whatever food she wanted each night. She drove. Doesn’t sound like a lot, but it was like 5,000 miles. Teamwork makes the dream work lol. I've been on over ten chases since 2013. I decided to take the girl on a chase this year. We left last Sunday to head to Erie or near there. Had booked a few places depending on last second model shifts (from experience). Except my "experience" really paid off when we left at 10am and gave up near New Kensington Pitt at around 8pm. I accidentally took the turnpike instead of going N from Philly and then west to avoid the storm. Drove through some of the heaviest snow of my life. At least the place we made it to got like 8 inches or so and we drove through blizzard conditions at Somerset PA on way home from upslope LES. Regardless, it was still fun and worth it for that bonding time haha. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly one can easily question this breakout for climate/weather purposes (e.g, MD and DE in NE US; or KS in the South !?) needs a Mid-Atlantic region! Yes. The only way Va is ever included in the southeast is because of the civil war. No geographical reason for ever doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrapinwx Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 For those hoping for flakes to make it north of the Potomac, keep an eye on Dewpoint trends today. Model runs that get snow into the area, such as the FV3, don’t really have a stronger or more NW low. They have less of a dry air push which allows the precip shield to expand to the north. The metros are out of the game for accumulating snow, but there could definitely be mood flakes this evening . 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TX and LA are lumped under the former? WTF even IS this hot garbage used for?? Why are Cape Girardeau and Southern Illinois considered to be part of St. Louis? I'm also annoyed about the Eastern Canada thing. East of Quebec is called the Maritimes. And somehow the provinces west of Ontario don't seem to deserve any type of designation.

As someone who is relocating to that area (ish) this year... this is actually extremely funny to me. STL considered its own thing when no other city gets that treatment. Great stuff.

One morning, when watching the local news, there was a story about a neighborhood where the residents were concerned about how big and old the trees were and the damage they could cause to houses. One resident was interviewed in front of her house, and I recognized it immediately. It was the house my mom grew up in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I got stuck overnight at Scott AFB about 15 years ago due to an overperforming snowstorm. I was supposed to fly out in the evening, but flights got cancelled. Had a few pleasant Jebwalks that evening while getting set up in executive quarters for the night...though it probably would have been a little more fun getting stuck in the city itself! And that's my St. Louis story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I pop in here thinking the lower coastal plain folks would be excited about some snow, and all I see is discussion about bad geography. ofc we probably don't have many here who give a crap about the Lower eastern shore/southeastern VA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
