Certainly wouldn't kick it out of bed. Seems to snow hard over 95 for several hours.

Probably just noise, but it did seem to adjust that band very slightly west again, and it also slightly cut the qpf for that band as well. Think we were looking at 5-7 from that on the 6z run. Looks more like 4-5+ on this run.

Exactly. And I think PSU made the point that, when it comes to globals, the Euro is much better picking out the banding features than the GFS. I pray the GFS is right, but I prayed it was right just before the last storm and I was sadly mistaken.

I meant with the banding placement. It's obviously drier than the Euro, but we are parsing tenths of an inch.

Looks like the Euro. The GFS is on an island of its own right now.

I don't remember what the Euro showed in the final couple of runs leading up to the last storm, but did the GFS really win? It lead the way days leading into the storm that it would be coming much farther north and west than what most models showed and so it definitely won in that respect, but for my particular location, the totals were way overdone and it seemed like it had the general snow shield too far northwest than reality. I thought the 3k NAM did the best job showing the location of the cutoff, if I'm remembering correctly. I'd love for the GFS to be right because it has that band right over me, but no other model is showing that to be the location of the band, and the GFS doesn't seem like the best model to use for that kind of detail anyway.

Congrats Easton!

This is literally what WWA was made for. WSW should be for a legit storm. Not a 6 hour event with a few inches of snow.

Yeah, let's just lock that up. Looks like 4-6 for us.

Yeah, it is not inspiring. I guess it's still a 1-3/2-4 if ratios are decent.

Ha, if that happened after Monday's debacle, I'd have to step away for a bit. Just give me some decent snow so I can take the kids sledding this weekend.

Canadian has the anti-snow hole for DC.

Had BWI at 12 last storm. Got half that.

Seems like it. Just have to go 500 miles north to find it.

I can't wait to see a map of the final totals. Will be really cool to see the different demarcation lines.

Varies widely based on location. North or west got almost nothing. South or east did pretty well. Guessing the city proper didn't get much. Edit to say that west, provided it was just a few miles west, did ok.

That's wild. Awesome morning for you.

Looks like it cut off here, as if that mattered given what had been falling. Eyeballing about 3, maybe if I give it the ole' slantstick? Given how close big totals were, this is one of the most painful storms I can ever recall. Probably a little easier to handle if it hadn't been for the past five winters of nothing, or a lot of the models showing I'd end up with at least double that, if not more. Oh well. Keep the pictures coming. Love seeing them. Hope you guys cash in as that final band sweeps through.

Not going to beat that.

I wonder if BWI will end up with a pretty good total from this one. Would be nice to see BWI pick up its second biggest La Nina snowfall ever. Anyone know what the runner-up is to the blizzard of 96?

It's flurrying here, lol.

Jealous. Crazy how different we are and you are probably five miles from me. What an interesting storm. Enjoy! How much you have on the ground so far?

Turf Valley. Moved here last fall from the northeastern part of the county and was hoping it would really make a difference. I'm sure it will in the long run, but so far, I haven't really noticed much difference with the few storms we've had. Old neighborhood is going to beat me today, and the long duration storm last year was probably the only one so far where it made a difference, but we didn't get much from that anyway.

If it can only snow like this for another 24 hours, I can tack on another inch.

Wow, good for you. Not seeing those rates here. Just being a little southeast of me, you are in a better spot. Looks like we will miss out on the heaviest rates either way.
