I bet we get at least flurries this April. Hope this is more accurate than that Eagles prediction was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did a study once on Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers.. point is found that they beat the spread most of the time. Were close to 60% on SNF and MNF. Point is, in perfect scenario, best QB wins even against the spread.. Eagles were going under the radar at 17-1 and I went contrary to that.. If Hurt's doesn't fumble on his own for a TD it's like 42-38 or something.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of women who work for NWS, but not at the lead forecaster level, which you need to be in order to issue watches through SPC. Liz is training to become the first woman lead forecaster, and as such her training allowed her to actually issue a watch. Pretty awesome, she’s got a heck of a future ahead of her with SPC. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d toss out Black Flag as potential site but they are closed on Mondays. Sunday? Hey my man! Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, Sunday is reserved for a family gathering at my in-laws place all day. Monday is the only day that would work and lunch time is probably all we could muster since my family wants to have dinner with us around 530-6 that day. Tough to squeeze in everyone! Wish we were there for more than 5 full days, but thems the breaks. We do need to plan a meet up next time I'm in town with a bunch of us! I would love to meet everyone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've conversed with Liz multiple times since being out here during severe events. I've also had private conversation with her on Twitter and off twitter when we were both involved in a Hazardous Weather Testbed. Literally one of the nicest people ever, and boy does she know her stuff! She's an inspiration to a lot of female meteorologist both in the field and aspiring to join. I would say she is one of the more influential people in the NWS. I told her we need to meet in person at some point, and she told me her house is always open if my wife and I are ever in the Norman area. Seriously, just a heart of gold. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(nsfw language in vid) Well it finally appears like I have gotten my answer. It snowed acid in Ontario. Tracking huge toxic plumes of smoke sure seems like a job for mets and simple to do. EPA ignored my inquiries but I don't trust them after 9/11 anyways. Maybe we dodged an acidic bullet here for this sub. I live near major roads and have never seen polluted ice. https://twitter.com/UpwardNewsHQ/status/1627325630323822592?s=20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlet Pimpernel Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 OK folks! A little something to cheer you all up with the lack of snow and our incessant winter fails! A few photos... Snowdrop flower, I changed the color/tone settings to make the greens look copper (I thought it looked cool!). A stunning tree, in a creamy (and slightly grainy) black & white. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 WTOP says the SSW is going to “knock a polar vortex through DC the last two weeks of March.” So we got that going for us. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
09-10 analogy Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Ho-hum, another wind advisory. Wind chime retailers in the DMV must be making a fortune, what with all the replacement business traffic they get. I am enjoying reading some of the AFDs from out west and the Upper Midwest. Live vicariously, I suppose. I especially like this part from MPX: By 6PM, the phasing and vertical continuity of the upper levels is evident, creating a phenomenal scene at the surface. As the surface low moves up from the southwest, winds will approach 25 to 35 MPH areawide, with gusts approaching 45 to 50 MPH in western and central MN ... This would be similar to what occurred April 2018, when the Twin Cities received 15.8 inches of snow. Due to obstructions, it is hard to get blizzard conditions in major metropolitan areas such as the Twin Cities, but with the actively falling snow and strong winds, this would be an event that could do so. Speaking historically, this event could very well break top five snowfalls in the Twin Cities dating back to 1884. It goes on to mention the "Domebuster" storm -- one of the top 5 -- of 2010. Great name for a snowstorm, I guess that was the one that caused the Metrodome's roof to deflate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
