Those ticks are quite hardy.

You'd need sub zero for a week or more straight to make a dent

I’d be happy to avoid-15.  So far the peaches are safe.

Yeah, we have two Crepe Myrtle trees that will need to be protected if we go below zero. Don't need that... energy bills are already killer this year

Probably safe from that. May be another breezy cold shot with little radiational cooling. Probably 15-20/0 type days. 
 

If you want a reliable cold hardy peach look for contender.

I want a leaf curl hardy peach. Also eff the critters that eat them.

If this keeps up without much snow cover, we may start seeing some broken mains into peoples houses. Been a LONG time since that's happened in my area

I had that happen in the 2005 winter, had a good two feet of snow and it was below zero. I was standing in the deep snow freezing while I pumped my basement out.

Always a surefire sign of a particularly enthralling winter when the thread is littered with dialogue concerning different varieties of peach species as we cross the midway point of January.

Flooded basements are the worst, but a good excuse to throw out some of the significant others CRAP... We had a sewage lateral backup in ours in August. I got to trow away tons of garbage

humor or not… it’s apparent some of you conflate “threads” with storm and or storm drama. 
Without actually reading the content of the thread starter and trying to digest what is going on there, and then you judge, after the fact like you were misled?  

The last thread said in the title, it was either going to be a big storm or complete whiff. Fairly meaning that it was a range of possibilities and guess what what it fucking snowed.

I always qualify those discussions with probability and they’re not always that great so stop associating bad turnouts to your own poor interpretation. 

Jerry no problem with the thread, but I would suggest mentioning that there’s very low ensemble support right now for any specific event  

How do you think I feel in the Summer  

I make a thread for convection...just general thunderstorms with maybe a rogue severe storm or two and everyone is screaming bust because there are no EF3s or widespread destructive winds or widespread hail...NO SHIT....never said there was going to be.

Sprinkle in some skynet and season of bore and here we are.

Lots of triggered peeps this morning. Hate to see it.

You're a funny guy Dryslot, I like you. That's why I'm going to kill you last.

I think we have  a veteran and a contender and then 2 saturns that are new.  Cold has been less an issue than leaf drop.

[mahk_webstah]

something will happen.

and with all this cold it might be good.

meanwhile, we live.

Is that how they do haikus in philly? Was that in AJ Brown’s book?

I think part of it is that people just want something (ANYthing) to happen that generates a little excitement and we haven’t had that in sooooo long

Their bodies literally produce antifreeze proteins.  I was reading a study about how ticks may actually passing on these antifreeze proteins to field mice.

This green beret's gonna kick your bag ass.

I eat green berets for breakfast, and right now I am VERY hungry

[NoCORH4L]

The good news with all the dryness is that we may have an exciting spring fire season to look forward to

John's right ( FXWX ) tho  - i'd only add to that, for some in here we're writing to empty skulls.  when it comes to hypothesis using principles of meteorology, they're just not there. 

             [ ...right exit region/upper diffluent channel approaches the region but doesn't intersect the theta-e ridge until ... ]         =      

lacking audience when it come to theoretical canvas.  one can spend time composing turn of phrases that offer "reasoning bottleneck," which describes and justifies a period of interest  ..etc  - it could be written with prose so refined that Shakespeare blushes in his grave ...                     

crickets. 

not everyone can ... and it's not really to anyone's fault. it is entirely possible to have one's virtues in the right order in general, be interested in weather for either science or just liking dramatic events...etc, but just not have the tool-kit for processing how it all works in the background. 

what i don't like is those that have a kind of manic need to fulfill something that's provided by the utter vagaries of whether a model run has storm or not.  those types are not typically very fair when it comes to evaluating one's efforts - if there's even something like 'evaluation' going on at all. it seems very superficially related to whether the last thread, and the occurrence of a boner model run and storm, happen to get them off.  there's definitely too much of something like this when it comes to dealing with bus-stop social media  lol

My grandpa-in-law used to work with ticks at Old Dominion University (low-key curious if it was actually one of his studies you read, if you don't mind telling me who wrote it), as much of a problem as ticks are, they are fascinating little creatures

I get that but sometimes it bleeds into great discussion. There are probably lots of people who read (but don't post or post much) who are really trying to learn and understand more. This is a phenomenal source for learning and understanding the weather but it gets diluted at times.

See, that's how I see it and why I don't melt and get all butt hurt disappointed like some. In my eyes we did have something all last week leading to the weekend. Sure, it was pretty much a dud for some however I enjoy the chase if you will. Sure I'd love to see some more action (giggity) but I don't need huge fantasy storms showing 384 out to keep me interested. Also, my gut says we'll at least have a period of excitement this winter

I do miss the times when discussions were more serious and the banter and emotional contributions would be at a minimum. I get everyone is fed up and all but like I said above, alot of the serious discussions get diluted and quickly because emotions start flying around. Maybe there should be some threads that are just designated to serious discussion - I know that's what the storm threads are for but a thread where you can bounce around ideas and principles. If you have anyone reading that is in college or maybe high school with a strong interest in meteorology - this place is second to none with knowledge and information. I know for myself, there is no way in hell I would be where I am today without what I have acquired and gained from the board over the years.

Is that the 384 hour GFS?

C-1" tomorrow night for South coast? Maybe some measurable elsewhere in other spots. Could be lots of coatings to half inch or so across the region. I know, boring...but just saying.

lol! I don’t know if anyone in South Philly knows what a haiku is. 
I think AJ will have a very big day on Sunday.

got to refresh the small pack that's left here if you can call it that..  and congrats deep south on the ICON next week

[ineedsnow]

Record snow and ice storm next week for northern Florida?
