Holy Cyclone Batman!

As many of you know, I do love the MLB and often am rather opinionated about the early start of the season in the north country.  Personally, I'm a bit tired of watching games and replays with rain, snow, hoodies, masks, scarves, etc as the clothing of need for these guys that are playing a game meant for sunny and 80°F!  And as I punch this out this glorious evening here in south central PA (80°F in my house this evening...hasn't seen that since last September!), I noticed 3 MLB games were washed away by cold/snow/rain/bad weather...And rightly so...one heckuva cyclone!  Take a look...
Let's put it this way; when my jet-setting buddy who is hanging out in the Big Easy asks about how nasty the weather is going to be...trust me...it's on many peoples' minds!  That's a vigorous squall line pushing through the SE USA and heavy snows across the north country...That's why these mid-latitude monsters develop; to bring warmth north (finally) and colder air south!  Look at this for a temperature gradient!  I'm basking in summertime warmth whilst a short jaunt north...its sub-freezing!
Here's the progged temps for tomorrow at the supposedly the warmest time of day...that is one strong backdoor cold front and one I've got to see to believe...but I've seen it before; not just to this extent! I mentioned this to my Econ Educator earlier in the week when the upper air suggested this could occur.   The meteorology is absolutely amazing! 
And this air-mass changer will be bringing a solid amount of rains to these parts...accumulated precip by Monday pm...the totals have been falling for what it is worth the last several model runs...
Hey...good luck to my buddy who will be sloshing through Bean-Town Monday...get that 3:15 goal my friend!  Here is the the synoptic set-up for race time Patriot Day 2018!  Bring it on Home!  I'm thinking the BoSox-Os might be a wash that day...?

And for those of you who look for my medium/longer term wx...spring will continue to be an island of warmth in a sea of cold...sorry to say!  Here is the Euro's take through Memorial Day...not very spring-like at best...

Ok..time to go.  Looking forward to my Sunday Funday with fitness, friends, family, and faith.  I know and God knows I've got to work on that faith thing since that came last with my  alliteration...didn't mean it to do so...just did?  And no Barney...I still LOVE the weather and everything that goes with it!  I just gotta see this 40°F drop in temps...WITHIN 24 hrs!  C'mon! Seriously, spring weather is nuts; look at this Christmas Tree...!  The only reason Maine doesn't have any warning colors is that the winter weather that occurs there other than during the month of July is typical!  Hearty folks to be sure...

I did have several references to songs...but this is the one I chose.  Backdoor Man.  Haven't listened to this group for quite some time...I hope you enjoy as much as the artists surely did!  And this will be quite the BACKDOOR Front!

AA:  Plenty of rain to spur on cool weather grass growth; sharpen the blades; you'll be going full bore into August if my crystal ball is working! Loved the pic of you and daughter at softball!
