  1. I went to Dallas, and watched the eclipse with my younger cousin and told her all about them. It was an amazing experience, and my second time seeing an eclipse after 2017. Of course the pics don’t do justice, and a few minutes is never enough. But it was 100% worth it and I can’t get enough of it.
  2. I told you not to give up! Texas is looking a lot better than it did before. You can’t jump ship a week out.
  3. I wouldn’t give up just yet. It’s still a week away. I have a refundable ticket so I’ll see how it goes.
  4. Years ago I remember speaking to @usedtobe about PDI... he has all kinds of memories of it, and if I'm remembering correctly it was some of the heaviest snowfall rates he's ever seen in his life.
  5. If we can get 70 degree weather in January (incl 80 in DC) then I’m not going to shed a tear if people get mad about spring snow. Yeah, I know I’m being spiteful. But unseasonable weather can go both ways
  6. March 2014 was much bigger south of us, but March 2018 was a big one here.. 8.5” and it was after the equinox
  7. Even the closer N/W suburbs (think IAD, MoCo/HoCo, etc) can still score in mid-March. Sometimes even late March but that’s pushing it. I’m not giving up. In 2018 the greatest moment came right after the solstice and I’m still yet to see a storm that big ever since IMBY.
  8. Yes we’ve done ok considering how ridiculously warm it’s been. A large part of the reason was that cold spell in January. But the problem is that this kind of warmth has become so normalized.
  9. The snow depth map from 18z 3k NAM yesterday gave me 2” exactly. My actual total was 80% higher. It’s a bad tool most of the time.
  10. Thats why the mid-January cold spell with those two snow events felt so special and even extraordinary. It brought back memories of the past, as if the atmosphere decided to give us a rare taste of the bygone 20th century winter cold we used to enjoy years ago.
  11. I find it incredible that many places just a few miles from that band didn’t just get 4-5”, a lot of them got less than 2” while they were just miles away from 6-12”. That has to be infuriating.
  12. I’d love to see something to look forward to before the second half of March, but I think people are really sick of the rug pulls.
  13. It sure does. And after Jan 2016, which was like the ultimate W for this hobby (along with Feb 2010), I am not quite as emotionally attached to IMBY snow as I was before. It's still nice to see, but there are also so many mountains where I want to experience big storms and powder days. These -PNA patterns we've been getting are all great opportunities to ski out west while this area gets skunked, and I encourage those who are able to take advantage of it.
  14. That storm next Friday on the Euro looks like another yawner... perfect track, 40 degree rain
  15. If this psuhoffman storm ends up anything like the 2011 psuhoffman storm then I’ll be happy to call it a winter. As I recall that one also initially looked rainy but then had great dynamics.
  16. Yeah many of the runs a few days ago had my area in between the bands, and with maybe 1-2” while places north and south would’ve gotten quite a bit more.
  17. We’d better not be finished for the season. Still keeping an eye on Friday
  18. Yeah seems like the best of the fgen band stayed south of LI
  19. This map says it all. Whoever was in that zone got crushed. Turquoise is 0.5”+, and the greens are 0.7”+ Seems like the axis from Flemington to New Brunswick through South Amboy and Keansburg hit the jackpot.
  20. Snow is over. Ended up with a final total of 3.6”. Looks so nice outside. Definitely a decent event here and hopefully not the last.
  21. I just saw… from Harrisburg to Allentown to Newark there are spots with 8-12”, and it’s almost painful to know it could’ve been us. Though even there it seems like there were winners and losers since many of those outside the bands in the subsidence ended up with very little.
  22. To be blunt, this event was not worthy of a warning anywhere in our area. I can’t complain too much all things considered, but I imagine psuhoffman’s ~4” is close to the max in the region. This system was just too quick and too marginal to really be a big one. In and out within 4 hours.
  23. Radar is looking good now. Should be getting here any moment
  24. I’d be even more stoked if it wasn’t super late at night. Might stay up till 3am or so.
