H2O

This simply isn’t true. 96 and 2016 had zero change over. It is possible to have a wrapped storm and still be cold smoke. Yesterday’s euro was almost ideal for 80% of the area. That would be how both things can be true. Mountains get a lot and the coastal plain as well. What we saw today generally only favored the usual areas. And that was over the mini melt about it being too suppressed. Now it’s a serious risk for primary too far NW into Ohio which crushes thermals. We don’t need more tucked. Then too much of the area floods. It’s a bit much to imply the ONLY way to get the best snow is to say every storm HAS to sit on top of VA Beach when that is fraught with issues elsewhere.

No. Lots of green. For....rain. Hi, Leesburgcentertown!!

I just spent the last hour coloring with my kid. Why? Because she asked me to and I love her and she’s had a rough week. sharpie markers ftw. All different colors

If it doesn’t get me unscheduled leave then it doesn’t count

It doesn’t look anywhere as bad as bukakke Elmo

not really. Yeaterday's track was ideal. Not even saying those snow maps were legit. It was powder for all(well most). Now we get that tucked in too close look and warm layer. So in other words: more suppression is better

See? See what we have to deal with?

I get it but this is what sucks to read as someone who has battled long over the clamors for free wielding posts and stuff clamped down on for ease of reading. Whenever we go to tighten up there is a ton of bellyaching over posts disappearing and so on. So the min we dial it back then its all about how many bad posts there are. Its simply a no win situation. We have promised that come this time tomorrow if a storm is looking likely we would make a new thread and all the bullshit crybaby stuff won't be allowed. Meanwhile I'll just post more gifs to balance it out.

Was that the return of BethesdaBoy, OEM or BobChill?

Love me some 1 post posters making that type of first post

Euro

So the MA snowstorm tracking book is written and follows along like this. Chapter 1: 1 million PATTERN IS GREAT posts, no storm Chapter 2: Models have day 10 storm but everyone is jaded and caveats apply Chapter 3: One model sniffs it out 5 days ahead(usually with an unrealistic run) Chapter 4: Other models slowly catch on and trends are attempted to be made Chapter 5: People freak over fringed and suppression and how snow maps don't repeat the same totals from ONE run Chapter 6: Many of the burned know whats coming but stay quiet or try to temper things because too amped/too wrong a track spells doom for fall line east Chapter 7: models start to shit the bed except for usual areas Chapter 8: models hone in on track and amounts Chapter 9: Same areas get what they always do when they didn't need to fret one damn bit Chapter 10: DC rains when all is said and done because thats what it does We are in chapter 7

it can suppress south again. Just sayin

The sad thing is that most of the posts in here are made by grown adults.

Man, I'm so glad people were too worried about southern suppression

just 24 hrs ago some were singing praises to the ICON. Now its trash. lol

its not only predictable but also comical

Calling it now. The one EPS member that was over Fairfax, VA and skewed the temps will be the 12z operational. And then this place will die. Or maybe the most east member. Not sure. Wish there was a way to figure this stuff out.

Who?

The same people fretting over suppression and ridge trough stuff don't realize that by wanting more amped and tucked means people like you/me then start dealing with r/s issues more. So wishing for 30" clown maps means its more feast/famine for other areas. I honestly rather have a total area wide 6" event than you and me getting 2" slop and Westminster 14" cold smoke. Why can't people just be happy with a uniform blanket? My god, the last 3 years have just sucked for most. This storm would crush whats fallen for me. When DCA gets 0.3" and its HALF of last year then a 6" storm is like dating Bella Hadid.
