February 4 DC forecast

People were making fun of it at the time, but it is surreal how close it ended up being to reality a week out.....not just with the snow totals but also the northern cutoff.

Isn't it a bit early for this thread? If not then I have quite a bit of stuff to post.

Yeah, it seems like none of these examples were hyped in the media 5 days out as the STORM OF THE CENTURY or any of that crap. Therefore March 2001 probably had a permanent impact in the way that huge storms are presented to the public. As for Snowmageddon, based on what I recall, a lot of TV mets seemed to be modest until the day before the storm, calling for about a foot of snow or merely "significant snow". Then around Thursday or Friday many of them finally concluded that this was another historic event.

Ever since March 2001, has any storm been hyped as much as that one, around the DC Baltimore area? In other words, were PDII, 12/19, or Snowmageddon hyped as much prior to the storm as March 2001, or did the local media permanently tone everything down?

I'm glad I didn't start following weather until December 2001, I would have been devastated.

I think at one point, central NC was expected to get hit hard. Afterwards, it was supposed to be a HECS with 20-30"+ from DC to Boston, then it kept trending north over time, and until the very end NYC was expected to get a big hit. Instead all the heavy snow was in the interior northeast, I believe.
