Appropriate for a "gray hat" then, I suppose?! Yeah, there's unfortunately a lot of localized IMBY complaining stuff in here, but I suspect that's in any other regional forum too. We've got our share of shit posters for sure, but also many, many excellent and knowledgeable ones. And realistically (for better or worse), a large majority of people in this sub-forum are in the DMV-Baltimore corridor (myself included). Just how it is. I guess I try not to let the weenie trollish and whiney comments drive me away from the otherwise good analysis and discussion from the others. Even if I personally am ticked off or disappointed at a result or how things are looking, I do my best to not let that spill over into this place with a lot of crap posting and whining.

I only have 25 years and it's on the site. I still gotta go back and not only fix and update all the seasonal maps but do ones for 94-99. Season total maps are pretty much non-existent pre 2008 so i have nothing to base it on except the COOP data and climate sites. They are rough and just meant to give a general idea of the season. But i did do an average for 25 years when the archive only went back to 2000. There's also NWS maps for each climo 30-year period. https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/average-seasonal-snowfall

Fantastic pics!

No, I'm not a former poster.

Omg I need that! I need an inhaler by the time I reach the top of a hill when sledding

Is it safe so say models are locking in to some type of storm next Sunday?

Lol sorry and no harm meant to DE. His incessant mentions of the place drove me a bit nuts. I have friends and relatives there, and since I moved to the DC area as an adult, it's one of my favorite escapes to get out to the shore (and to Milton for DFH). The grey wizard is now on my ignore list.

Sure hope you don't kiss your significant other or mother with that mouth.

Its been a fantastic winter for cold, snowfall, and snowcover. Just need the cherry on top (big storm). Would love to see that end of Feb or Mar.

Michigan is probably just as LGBT friendly if not more than Illinois outside of Chicago. Chicago obviously is where it's at for the gay pride. I actually met @A-L-E-K at a baseball game years ago while i was in town and explored boystown after the game.

Thank you for the answer as the others couldn't answer it that's why they feel the need to attack someone.

Who is the drought guy? Lol

The next arctic push in two weeks already becoming apparent on guidance

I love it

Euro is 2" snow to sleet orama freezing rain back to sleet snow Keeping ground white into May?

You guys are relentless trolls. @GreyHat, the Ai models are too new to get too confident in them. But, I would say, they have been pretty wild at sniffing some stuff out. As of now, remain skeptical.. It has been bouncing too.. I do not think we have much confidence on anything next weekend... And models don't either.. Which is why we don't.. Lol

Some are apparently allowed more data use on the Board so they can attach directly without using other Programs to do it. I'm only allowed 23.21 kbs. Used to be several Mbs , plenty enough . Don't know why the cut.

low was 14F at DCA, 12.2F here. Central Park did hit 3F, and Watertown NY was -36F. So the extreme cold was up there lol.

feels like they do well at a lower resolution (getting the big picture right), but at a higher resolution (getting the details), they are quite poor.

First batch of air fryer wings cooking right now. Prepping ham and cheese sliders as well. Plus usual chips+queso+salsa, etc.

With you all the way my plans and such have been shutdown by this historic winter. Went into it believing the well thought out mild below normal snow outlooks. Hey man Happy Birththday

Man I miss weenie tags

Yeah i just recently read through NWS' 14 page COOP snow measurement guidelines PDF. On the surface you wouldn't think that it's that complicated, but theres so many different variables and things to consider. I guarantee the average person who sends a public report thinks, "how can that be? you just stick a ruler in the ground after it snows and thats it" We have all these different programs with different standards with CoCoRaHs, CO-OP, Skywarn..etc. It would be nice if there was just one umbrella for everything I ran across this other program when looking at old PNS from the late 90s and early 00s that i can't figure out what it is. Something called SWIN observers? I tried searching but couldn't find anything. I was thinking maybe it was an acronym for SkyWarn Independent Network or something like that? Or it's something completely different that's obsolete.
