And now it's beautiful. Bright blue sky, blinding almost, it's up to 42° and the streets are dry, narrower than they should be but what's cleared is dry. It's pretty amazing how quickly this stuff is compacting too.

It’s weird. The max/mins in nowdata are the same as this. The total precipitation is the same. The snow depth is the same. But the daily precip and snow numbers are slightly different.

That looks so real and so scary. What should we do?

ASOUT

From our friends in the MA Forum GEFS with could signal

We almost did it in 2010-11, but that winter fell apart.

Sun broke through in downtown Baltimore around noon - up to 55 now - feels great. Wind is up tho.

Hey now! I’m quite a years younger than a lot of you!

Monday into Tuesday?

42 and gorgeous out! Roads completely dry like it never snowed.

Great news! You shouldn't take your firing from future pbp's very hard then. J/k Congrats on the biology test. Just don't go out and experiment with what you learned. Lol

Where does the 26.4” in 1947 come from? The original COOP form has 25.8”

eps?

With all that being said this is a good signal on the GEFS.

After seeing a huge wolf spider outside her house, our arachnophobe neighbor said that if she ever saw one of those IN her house, she'd light the place afire as she ran out the front door.

Hence why im not getting too invested. If the signal is there this weekend then ill start really paying attention.

One day we will beat 1996.

The only other time I can recall when snow caused a full week's closure - Feb 1961 in NYC. The storm came Friday evening into Saturday, but with the piles left from Jan 19-20 and a couple small events (plus temps never reaching 30 between the 2 big storms), schools were closed Feb 6-10.

1812 Brits can attest to that.

We actually did decent precip-wise in Frederick on Sunday...the problem was it was mostly rain, whereas most of our true busts are expected to be snow, but just lack any significant precip. Not having a strong high to the north really messed up the first part of that storm imo.

This is the one type of scenario DC does okay in -- overrunning

Alright Catoctin cloud factory, I'd like to see some prolonged sun today, please. Places further south and east get more snow and less clouds. I'm bitter. Though it does look like some breaks in the clouds to the west incoming.

@candersonremembers this well. he did his freshman thesis on this storm.

Probably near normal to date. But I probably average high 70s long term so maybe 12-18” away from normal.
