Hey all, just wanted to wish ya’ll luck and apologize for any negativity that was coming from me in the days leading up to this one. We all know how much (unhealthily - for some of us - aka me) we care about snow. I let my personal moodiness with missing this one get in the way of how I’ve tried to improve myself as a poster: less snark, more objective analysis (or at least maps without an agenda). 
 

Go kill them tomorrow/Monday. Will pop in to look at some pics and share any good ones/obs I get from my girlfriend and dedicated network of snow spotters. Onwards and upwards.

hahaha had to stealth edit that one. She might be watching… 

it’s still the law student girlfriend. Whichever one of you said she’d fine someone better… not yet!

:) Have a great vacation, don’t sweat the snow.  You can chase snow, but can’t always make memories you’ll make on vacations with family.

thanks - I know any teasing I got was mostly in jest, but I think I deflected from  admitting to a slant in my posting earlier. Don’t want to dodge any personal responsibility. 

that said, if I was really trolling, I’d be posting the snow depth maps. People shouldn’t check those.

It's looking like the Ravens will be playing the Steelers in the first round.

They are reeling. Their offense is impotent. Wilson is washed. Don't fuck it up Ravens.

Steelers fan - this is a terrible team right now. I’d be shocked if we were anything more than a 1st round exit

I certainly won't check them lol. Snow depth maps aren't really relevant when there is a cold air mass in place/low sun angle- basically if melting/compaction isn't an issue.

10 years ago I literally didnt think you'd make it out of the 8th grade, and then next thing I know you're at UVA.  You're doing fine.

UKIE is pretty clearly going towards consensus. What you really gotta hope is wrong is the entire Canadian suite. Good news is they are pretty easy to dismiss. 

they don't even need models to forecast the weather in Canada.
winter -> snow
summer -> bugs

There, I just did it.

Damn, I can remember when you were posting in High School on here.  I’m 41 and I’ve been here (or Eastern) since 2009.  Time flies as pazzo said!

I joined an AOL weather chat room in 1994 when I was 31. That led to several years of NE.Weather on Usenet before discovering Wright Weather.  Followed Randy et al. to Eastern around 2003.  Turning 62 in March and realizing how long I’ve been following along with most all of you.

i first found Tri State Weather because my now husband loved to make fun of Joe Bastardi. right after that i found Eastern in 2005. and here i am 20 years later.

August will mark 19 years for me in Wild & Wonderful after leaving Bethesda.  If I recall correctly, you weren’t far behind.
