December 15th-16th

There is the possibility of you-know-what... here's the potential as I see it in the early morning hours of Tuesday... as I should be studying, this is what I'm doing...

The area north of the northern yellow line is most likely going to see all snow. This is a confidence line. That is the area where I believe will not have to worry about a changeover. The area south of the southern yellow line (the other confidence line) will most likely be all rain. In between is where it gets confusing and is the area that needs time to analyze what will fall there. It's going to be a tough forecast there. Could be snow, could be rain. The area I have outlined in light blue is MY forecast area for getting all snow (or mostly snow). The area in pink will get snow, ice, and possibly rain in my forecast. And the area in green is my forecast for rain. Now as the computer models have been shaky, I've outlined some potential areas too. The dashed blue section is where there is a possibility for heavy snow. The dashed red area is where there is a possibility for sleet and freezing rain to make for tough travel.

Midday Thursday, and I'm Not Thinking Arby's

I'm thinking snow! We've got light snow in College Park and it's well below freezing. Problem: snow isn't sticking too well to the roads and sidewalks. But as the snow keeps falling, I think the "stickiness" will improve. Dry slot coming in... that should fill in over the next few hours and I think some more snow will fall later on today. Overnight if snow continues, roads could be a problem... morning commute could get interesting. Maybe UMD will choose to open after 10 am tomorrow... but I doubt it. My guess is there will be lots of delays. Expect light snow to taper this evening... probably after dark sometime. Longterm looks warm for a week... then cold.

Sorry for all the weather related posts, but if we've got snow, I'm writing about it.

Enjoy the snow, Maryland!

Videoblogging and a flurry of excitement

I was thinking today as I was making my slideshow for tomorrow's presentation, I wondered... how easy would it be to video blog when I have something to say about the weather or what have you (that way you could shutter out my dorkiness). I'll be exploring that option over the next few days and we'll see what comes of it. Maybe I'll post a video blog or something.

Snow is going to start sometime tomorrow morning and continue on through the evening. My guess right now is 1-2 inches with the potential for a bust and a surprise. Depends on how much moisture makes it over the mountains. Then after that we'll enter a warm (and possibly dry) pattern through mid-month. Hopefully that will change just in time for Christmas... hopefully Christmas is white!

Goodnight, Maryland, and wear those pajamas inside out!

Disrespect, My ASS

So I'm the target of controversy this week for putting up a "controversial" Facebook photo of one of my teams winning a game. Okay, so I'm partly a Bills fan, and they beat the Skins after Sean Taylor was killed. So I'm going to be happy because one of MY teams won for once. Let's get this straight...

I RESPECTED THE MAN AND THE GREAT FOOTBALL PLAYER THAT SEAN TAYLOR WAS... REST IN PEACE #21

So after the game apparently I held it over everyone's head by wearing Bills stuff and putting up a picture of the game winning field goal. Christ, people, I can't like a team now? Why is it when someone says or does something it is wrong? Do folks honestly think that I was being disrespectful for liking a damn team? So I took down the "offensive" picture, which did not depict Sean Taylor or anything like that. All it showed was the Bills celebrating after a win. That's it. Nothing showing any disrespect towards Sean Taylor. Now my question is this. If this would have happened to my favorite team, the Titans, and the Skins would've beat them by one... I know exactly what I'd be facing right now. It would be hoots and hollers from all the Skins fans... including the ass hat I ran into the other night. That is another reason that I was happy the Bills won, because that asshole deserves a loss after what he did. That incident could be considered assault, and he's lucky some bigger people weren't with us when it would've happened. Because he would've gotten his shit fucked up. But anyway, folks, do not hate me or get pissed at me for liking a certain team. Jesus Christ, can't I just be my own person?

Early Monday

High winds and power outages later today! Bring 'em, I got four classes to get through!

Other than that, I have nothing really to say. I'm hoping the upsets and the karma to evil football franchises can continue, with hopefully the New England Patriots losing later on today to the Baltimore Ravens. Even though I'm not the biggest fan of the Ravens, I absolutely despise the Pats and want to see them go down. What would also be a nice turn of events would be the Pats running up the score and a Raven laying a hit on Brady causing him to be injured. He'd really deserve it for the cheating and the running up the score.

Goodnight, Maryland!

A Slight Flub... 6 pm Sunday

Forecast was a little off... it did start as snow/sleet/freezing rain, but it didn't do as much as I thought. I thought I'd wake up to maybe a light dusting and some ice on tree limbs, but that never panned out. We'll see rain the rest of the way, and boring with that. High winds tomorrow and part of Tuesday... then Tuesday night the snow comes in with the clipper. Maybe a bit of rain first, but changing to snow with light accumulations continuing through Wednesday.

First off, that was a great win by the Titans to get right back into the playoff race. Jacksonville lost and Cleveland is down, which helps a lot. Also, the Bills upset the Skins which made me a happy camper considering the asshole of a Skins fan I ran into last night. He deserved everything and karma has come full circle and is really hitting me well right now. Of course there was yesterday's football game with the idiot who called me a bad QB and then threw a poor pass that was picked off, followed by me joking about him to a group of football players who laughed at said joke. If my phone was not broken, I would be feeling pretty darn amazing right now... hell, I already am feeling pretty great right now, but a working phone would make things 100%. I'm at 90 or so right now. I don't really want to ask for more karma because that would be selfish. Thank you, God, for these wonderful turn of events. The way things are going right now, I should sail right into Christmas Break.
