HighStakes Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 -5 to -7 Wednesday morning on the Euro for central and northern Maryland. That's the coldest temp of any model run so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't want me to stay at our house in the city.

I know sometimes it's delayed, not denied and I'll readily admit it's felt like deep winter with snow on the ground for almost two weeks and almost a wall-to-wall cold so far, but if the Euro is right about the next week, which is a big if, we would be heading into late January basically sitting at climo for most or maybe just ahead for most. You might even possibly be behind climo. Sure, we thought this winter was going to be a disaster going in, but given the cold and the blocking we've had, I think seeing the next major threat being kicked down the road 13 days, IF the Euro is right, is a bit underwhelming.

I'm not counting Willy Wonka time frames. Comparing to others regarding our two chances. Normally I would agree, in a more stable pattern with a well defined threat. But all these waves are low probability until they get inside 100 hours...so everything in the range next week we've been looking at is jumping all over the place run to run. Absent blocking we are relying on lots of moving parts without any guardrails to keep then consistent run to run, for these types of waves to work out. Given that...I am simply happy to see runs that extend our window indefinitely into the future. I am not confident that any one specific threat ends up hitting...although the Sunday thing is starting to get "real". But I am confident that if we extend this pattern for a long period of time...and get multiple shots at these waves...we will eventually get a flush hit. What made 2015 and 2014 work out was partially just that those patterns set in for such a LONG time...giving us multiple chances. If we get enough chances one will work out. So I am ok simply with the fact guidance keeps pushing back the flip to a shut the blinds look...which I am skeptical ever happens...and extends our window of opportunity giving us more chances to get lucky. And I am not tossing either wave next week yet either...just saying I am happy we have even more chances after that also. It's a numbers game. 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've already hit climo down here, despite the dire forecasts from Mets everywhere this winter has been one of the best in the past 10yrs and it's far from over. Another reminder that nobody knows anything on these long range seasonal forecasts. I half expect the climate change narrative to go in full reverse once the PDO finally flips. The pain trade on warming is so piled in on that side at this point that it reminds me of the housing bubble. Temp can only go UP!!!! Buy before it's too late!

Southern MD has probably done best so far in regards to climo, and really even though it hasn't been great since the 2016 blizzard, has done much better than the Baltimore area in comparison. I'm guessing I have somewhere around 10 inches on the season, which is probably right on pace for climo in my location, maybe a little ahead if you consider March has lately been much more of a winter month and December has been much more of a fall month. But in general, the Baltimore area has continued to really struggle even in comparison to DC and Southern MD since 2016. I was at least fortunate enough to get around 8 inches with the last one while those just north of me got far less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's slow down... the planet is still warm right now on the whole...its just the coldest anomalies in the entire northern hemisphere are over the United States this winter so far. That has been true the last few years even...there were still some pockets of cold...just outnumbered by warm and nowhere near us due to the longwave pattern also being hostile to get whatever cold there is into our area. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the mid-month storm was fantastic with 21". It certainly was! Of course that whole winter 2013-14 was about as wall-to-wall as one can get around here. I don't recall the early Feb. 2014 ice event, maybe it was more in the northern part of MD where you're at. But yeah, that mid-month (around Valentine's Day) storm was great! I recall doing a Jebwalk taking pictures around 1AM, and it was just puking snow! That March was likewise incredible...a moderate event early in the month, the St. Patrick's Day storm, another small event on March 25 (my birthday!), and then even an inch right at the end of the month.

I think it's pretty much impossible to expect something that good down into the DC area, but it is analogous! the punting of Feb earlier this year doesn't seem to have a leg to stand on... there should be continued chances 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The overall look is that we drop to around 20 degrees as the sun rises Monday morning, really don't rise at all during the day Monday. Then mid-teens for highs both Tuesday and Wednesday, with lows in the single digits. Likely at least 72 consecutive hours under 20 degrees. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that happens I think that would be top 5 coldest snaps since 1990 2018 I think and some I don’t have notes about right now, Feb 2007 I think snd then epic 1994 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
