Sure looks like it to me! Imagine what a slightly more negative tilt and a little more separation would do? If the GFS is right, we seem like very, very small moves from something quite significant.
Hmmmm wonder which is right? The GFS almost always folds to the Euro, especially when it has the CMC on its side. I don't even care about the GFS or GEFS when it comes to snow anymore. It's a joke.
The big storm last winter was cool because it snowed for such a long time and I can't ever remember almost continuous snow for three days. But most of the time it was extremely light rates and of course areas northeast of us were getting smoked, so the realization you were so close to something big takes some of the fun away.
Looked at radar an hour ago and thought there was a good chance I would at least see some flakes at some point. Not looking as promising at the moment. Nice band down by Fredericksburg.
GFS looks amazing and would be our biggest December event in over a decade but I think we can all see the writing on the wall. It's probably 1-2 runs away from being the Euro/CMC.
We had a few flakes on our cars this morning, but haven't seen any flying yet. Did see the lightest flurry in the history of flurries on Saturday night.
2013-2014 was amazing. Most wall-to-wall winter I can remember experiencing. Very cold day after day and above average snowfall. 09-10 will always be king in snowfall but 13-14 was true deep winter and never really relented.
Yeah, that's definitely the story of this storm so far. Hope it doesn't rise too much higher for those folks. I wonder what the highest tides were during Isabel. I remember some areas in Baltimore County were basically wiped out.
If that area fills in and we get a nasty line to form, it could change things and maybe we get higher winds and end up closer to 2-3 inches. It just looks rather sporadic once you get past Southern MD. I guess it really depends on what happens in that area northeast of Richmond that seems to be trying to expand a bit. I'm curious if a new line is going to form or if the line northwest of DC is the one shown on most models as being the main show.
The NAM looked really impressive about 24 hours ago but definitely looked less impressive since then.
