    Thought this would be a good time to make a rudimentary snow map for ole times sake. Apologies for the crude map design. Doing this on my phone, but still works good enough. Each area is a zone with a first call forecast. Might have a few edits later, but this could very well be my only call. 
     

    Forecast

    Zone A: Nothing-1” (Trace begins north of Potomac latitude); Up to 2” possible if everything breaks right

    Zone B: 1-2” w/ max to 3” if everything breaks right

    Zone C: 2-4” (Highest across Parrs Ridge; elevations >600’) 

    Zone D: 2.5-5” w/ local max of 6” (Highest along the M/D Line and elevations >850’. Lowest in elevations <275’ in valleys)

    Zone E: 5-10” 

    Catoctins: 4-6” w/ max to 7”

    Usually being zone A means top notch as A is the best.  You try to get a grade of A on most things.  Not a D.  This zone A means: awful, atrocious, agonizing, awfuckthis, and areyoukiddingme.  

     

    But it happens.  N&W will get to enjoy and thats fine.  Got some snow this week.  Watching it fall again for a bit will be nice too.  The new thread didn't bring it back for everyone.  It still needed a souther, diggier, wetter, more jet streakier pointed at Norfolk to be good for lets say Fredricksburg north.  Can't win them all.

    Guys

     

    Whats wrong with this?  It is right up there with the opening of Saving Private Ryan.  Or the surprise ending of The Sixth Sense.  Or Darth Vader telling Luke who he was.  Just look at the time spent on the graphics.  Epic!

    <shudders>.  Yes.   The only good thing in that movie was the junkyard fight.   I remember going to the drive in (yes, again, I'm old af) with my dad.  And even as a 9 year old, I knew something was just off.  It was like nobody's heart was in it anymore.  And the stupid director, Richard Lester, who used to direct slapstick comedy fucked it up.   The beginning title sequence was just pure shit and as I grew up, it got worse and worse.  It was traumatic for me.  

    The REAL reason you hate that movie is when Superman is drinking and he's got a Johnny Walker red label bottle

    The brilliance of Superman IV is unsurpassed. People simply refer to at as "the IV" and the room goes silent as the genius of the work is considered...

    It is cinema veritae. A classic in the same way Citizen Kane and Gone With the Wind and Godfather are classics. 
     

    I’ve often heard how Spielberg used it for inspiration when making movies and we know how good he is

    Backstory.  I'm a huge Superman (Chris Reeves, I'm old) fan.  Andy and Katie know I hate Superman 3 and 4 with a deep unreasonable passion, especially the 4th.   Every time it comes on TV, a little bit of me dies inside.

    It’s done out of love. And that I’m a complete asshole

  6. I'm sure some will disagree and say temps before don't matter, but IMO the warmish temps we had(I had) the few days prior to this storm affected accums.  If it had been 30s leading up to this then I think roads/grass would have caved sooner.  But I got to 49F before the squall front Sunday.  To me and my experience, the ground and pavement was toasty.  Not a complaint but more a observation that the snow could have been better for some if you take prior conditions before this storm into account.  

     

    29F current so things will stay icy for a while.
