![]() When you combine a Weak La Nina in November with a Negative QBO, the result is much colder, and lasting through winter. I recently wrote about Signals For A Cold Start To Winter We did have a blockbuster 14.9” snowstorm in Baltimore during the La Nina of January 2000. However, 1 in 6 La Nina events since 1950 brought near average snowfall. This is based on those storms turning up the Ohio Valley and leaving our region on the warmer side. The typical La Nina Pattern brings storms into the Northwest coast of the US, and this maps shows the expected path across the country. Perhaps higher chance for Lake Effect snow in the mountains.Īlso See: The entire NOAA Winter Outlook reportĭid you see my report on The La Nina Advisory? This is suggesting near average rain or snow for most of the region. Western Maryland and West Virginia leaning 33% to 40% above chance of above normal precipitation. This covers the entire season, and does NOT account for cold spells in between.Įqual chances for above, near normal, or below normal. Simply a better chance it may be above average. This does NOT promise a warm winter or how warm it may be. “Leaning Above” as shown in the map legend on the lower right. Leaning 40% to 50% probability chance that the seasonal average will be above average. Highlighting The Mid Atlantic Region Temperature Outlook: Warmer? “The outlook does not project seasonal snowfall accumulations as snow forecasts are generally not predictable more than a week in advance.” Quote in the NOAA report, but it is buried at the bottom. However, I look for a silver lining and there is a big one in this report! I do love snow (Faith in the Flakes), but I do not let that cloud my judgement when assessing and presenting to the public. I play this game as well, and will continue to share my insight along with multiple reports on this topic. Second, long range weather forecasting have odds of being wrong or right about equal amounts of time. First, La Nina is a major factor in just about all forecasts. I can guarantee two things for sure at this point. It is there in the maps and at the bottom of their report. In fact, actually just read the fine print. This one may look warm, however I encourage all to read between the lines. We are in the middle of a barrage of long range forecasts for the season ahead, and I want to help sort through the mix of information. This is the time frame to pay attention and start a backup contingency plan for Sunday and Monday events.NOAA has just issued their Winter Outlook for the United States to cover December 2021 through February 2022. Still NOT in agreement and still too early for specifics. This Model also changed a lot and now brings the Low well inland for a rain event. I expect there will be more fluctuation in plots over the net few days. Yesterday this model had the storm well off the coast. In between could be anything from a slushy snow to icy mix. This is only one solution, and a closer looks highlights how much the results can vary.Įarly Monday morning we can see this latest solution bringing heavy snow inland and rain along and east to the Bay. Note: The energy is currently over the Pacific Ocean and this particular storm has not formed yet. It develops a storm that rides up The Chesapeake Bay Monday morning. The specifics of the track are less certain. This snapshot shows the deep trough and Upper Level Low right over our region Monday morning. Weather Almanac: Climate Data TODAY January 12 Temps will thaw for most of the region into the upper 30s to mid 40s. A cold start, but High Pressure is dominating much of the Eastern US. It looks more likely there will be an event, but still a big split on track and resulting snow or rain. Next Up: That strong storm is expected at the end of the weekend. In fact, a little warming to the 40s for many areas over the next couple of days may help take the sting out of the air. ![]() This morning is still cold, but with light wind it should feel better. ![]()

If we are going to be on our own for the first time, we really don’t need to worry about tradition.In this combination image, a stock photo of Santa Claus pictured holding coffee with inset images of Starbucks and McDonald's just some of the shops that will be open over the festive period. We discuss the options and decide we can do without turkey and all the trimmings this year. On the one hand it seems somehow wrong to not even attempt to cook a traditional pigs in blankets style dinner, and I do LOVE sprouts, but on the other hand, what is the point if no one is really interested? B will eat the pigs and push away the rest and everyone knows that by the time you’ve cooked Christmas dinner the last thing you actually want to do is eat any of it. The teen – I’m going to call her A – inevitably puts the case for super noodles. B suggests we get pizza delivered, but this doesn’t feel terribly festive to me. Perhaps when she is older, and we have been separated for longer, but not yet.Īnd so I turn back to the all important question of dinner. My mother and sister aren’t so sympathetic, particularly when it comes to B’s dad, but regardless of how I feel about him I don’t want to be the woman who stops him seeing his daughter at Christmas. They may end up not seeing them much, but I want to give them the option. Clearly torn between her two daughters, she spent some time trying to convince me to make the trip too, but apart from wanting nothing more than to stay home with my tree and the supplies from Hotel Chocolat, I don’t want to take the girls away from their fathers at Christmas. This year however, my mother and her partner are going to Ireland with my sister, who has recently had her first baby, to stay with my sister’s in-laws. Every Christmas until now has been spent with my mother, and until a couple of years ago my sister too, plus various other family members, depending on whether we are talking pre or post parental divorce. This Christmas Day we are going to be breaking with tradition for the first time ever, well the first time in my lifetime at least. For our family of three that would equate to nearly fifty pounds – that’s a lot of food even for me to eat, and given B’s sparrow like appetite and my teen’s propensity to only eat Sainsbury’s Basics 9p a packet super noodles, I could quite easily see me having to eat about £47 of that on my own. £16.84? That seems a lot to me for a meal that is mainly vegetables. I read in the paper today that the average UK family spends £16.84 per head on Christmas dinner. ![]() ![]() ![]() This free Receipt generator was created by Bucaro, a company that develops web-based office software.

If you’re taking it out for target practice with field tips you shouldn’t have any issue with this quiver not holding up. It will hold up from hard use in the brush, but you might have issues with broadheads cutting the inside of the canvas. ![]() This back quiver is made from thick canvas. They also can be difficult to maneuver in when you are in heavier brush and do not provide good protection to your arrows fletching in these situations.įor target practice or hunting that does not require larger 2 or 4 blade broadheads and lots of shooting then a back quiver can be an excellent purchase and provide great service. Your quarry can easily pick out this motion.Ī second drawback is that with multiple arrows with broadheads can get tangled up in a traditional back quiver and make pulling one free difficult in some situations. Back Bow QuiverĪ back quiver can offer quite a few advantages, but in a lot of hunting circles, the drawbacks of back quivers keep most hunters from using them.Ī major drawback to using back quivers for hunting the more conventional larger game is the range of motion needed to pull an arrow and nock it. This hip quiver also comes with several pockets that allow for extra storage. It is a type of quiver that is designed to last the hunter for years of hunting. The Flipside is made from high-denier material and is extremely durable. By being able to adjust the angles, you can personalize this quiver and adjust it to suit your draw length.

Like all things, there are pros and cons and a hip quiver has both. They also do not provide as much stability as a bow mounted quiver. ![]() On the other hand, when sitting for extended periods, the hip quiver can be cumbersome. This is especially true if you are not setting up and waiting for your quarry, but up and moving looking to pull off a quick nock and release. ![]() A major reason is an ease of pulling and knocking an arrow from the hip quickly. Some hunters prefer hip quivers to quivers mounted to the bow. It is also available in quite a few different camo patterns to blend in with the foliage in your hunting area. You can bring up to five arrows in this quiver out into the field. It contains double grippers that can handle a wide range of arrows of varying diameters.

Later, it was wrongly reproduced and sold by many unscrupulous publishers who never paid Crowther and Woods a dime, thereby reaching a wider and less specialized number of home micro owners. Thanks to ARPANET, it was a very successful online entertainment enjoyed by its audience of hackers at universities and large corporations. It (especially the canonical version modified and enhanced by Don Woods) has given tremendous enjoyment to various audiences, specialized and otherwise. The truth is, audiences then and now have both been right, experts as they all have been with regard to their own tastes.ĪDVENT, for its part, is a revelation, building as it does something out of nothing. Tastes change, genres evolve, and, yes, theory emerges that may contradict the interests of a generation of players. I believe that the players of the 1980’s, who had no theory or essays with which to inform their experiences, preferred the wild exuberance of Zork‘s design as much as they preferred its technology. Of course, in its originating days, ADVENT would have been considered both the most and least organic IF geography to date, simultaneously the most austere and gonzo. In this blog, I will occasionally praise this game’s or that game’s map for its “organicism.” By this I will mean that is is connected in a natural, believable way based on some unifying principle. It is worth wondering if, in general, simulations are by their very nature better text adventures. Microsoft’s port of Adventure, which apparently never paid a dime in royalties to its authors. Most certainly, if simulation is a defining element of the “best,” then the prize must go to ADVENT. Many have written enthusiastically about the credibility of this simulated world: “Of this first crop of games, `Adventure’ remains the best, mainly because it has its roots in a simulation” (Nelson 5). This is the oft-discussed simulation element of ADVENT. However, unlike the setting of a typical Dungeon & Dragons campaign, ADVENT‘s geography was based on an actual location: Kentucky’s Bedquilt Cave. While ADVENT‘s parser was limited to two words, it remained revelatory. The technology that ADVENT and its descendants use to interpret human commands came to be known as a parser. In ADVENT‘s case, the program is not nearly as good at interpreting text as a human dungeon master would be, but that is a tough bar to reach. Just as in Dungeons & Dragons, a “dungeon master” provided text descriptions of areas, objects, and events to players, and the player likewise described via text their actions in the described world. An avid caver with an interest in Dungeons & Dragons, he combined these interests to create what was–so far as the world knew–a new type of simulation or game. He was a significant player in the deployment of ARPANET, a technology that would eventually evolve into what we now know as the internet. The “Imp” Team: ARPANET Pioneers (Will Crowther second from right)ĪDVENT was initially authored by Will Crowther. A playthrough of the entire Infocom canon will reveal a genre growing further and further away from its point of origination, even if some limitations of the form were never fully overcome. All of Zork I, Infocom’s most commercially successful title, is ported directly from Dungeon, and Dungeon was initially imagined as a way to improve upon ADVENT (sometimes also referred to as Adventure or Colossal Cave Adventure) in terms of both writing and technology. ![]() It cannot be denied that all Infocom games are in conversation with both ADVENT and Dungeon to varying degrees, and all serious discussions of Infocom games must, at some point, call forth their spectres. At times, ADVENT and Dungeon seem discussed less as text and more as historical facts. I have said that I would like to avoid historical discussion, but no one can outrun their fate.
