Nice, light, steady snow causing roads to cave. Wasn’t awake for the snow overnight, but definitely the heaviest it has been today that I have seen. Looks like it’s nice and light and fluffy so probably a nice ratio. Grass is almost covered.

Ha, 20:1 would have some isolated spots pushing for double digits.

In big trouble for HECS hunting if NAO doesn’t go negative before February 15. Don’t have a great track record of big storms that late.

Needs a lot of work but if it would start trending now like todays storm has over the past 24 hours or so we could really have something.

Euro is one stingy mofo

I hope the EPS is a lot more than workable during the first 15 days of February. That’s when we need the mint pattern to crush us. Haven’t had many big storms later than that.

This seems like a pretty significant improvement!

I always thought it was a preview of the next cycle so that’s good to know. Always seemed like a good run of SREF lead to the next run if NAM being good.

Seems like some potential can-kicking. It’s getting late, early.

Ha, this looks like it might be the main course.

I don’t think anyone is literally expecting 09-10. I got 100 inches that year lol. But if we can’t go big in this nino, then when exactly???

The problem is completely whiffing going into February means we basically need a repeat of 2010 for his winter to be a success in my mind given the past seven years and what we see looking ahead.

Did so well with the last one……writing is on the wall, all hail king euro.

To be fair, every run since November has been mint and I will give credit where it is due, I have seen my mint green grass every day his winter.

And to think people doubted the king. The Euro remains at the top for a reason.

Yeah, that was wild. Kinda too much of a good thing with the cold.

January 20th timeframe looked interesting/kinda close?

Wind has really calmed down here. Eerily quiet.

Looks like we got a 55 mph gust. Been lots of flickering lights. Think I am around 2 inches but will have to check the gauge tomorrow.

I could be wrong, but I am almost positive that was one time when it was clearly obvious everyone should close early and Frederick did not and that's why that happened. I'd also add that one semi-bad thing that happened when it rained one time is not really a reason to freak out about rain. Make informed decisions? Sure.

I was referring to the changes from the previous update. I thought we were already under a Mod risk. The changes seemed like the bolded and focused on the areas in the mountains in western VA.

Doesn't look like that is for our area, but that's definitely strong wording for those areas. Snow melt combined with very heavy rain, especially in mountainous areas, is worrisome.

Already dumped the superintendent. Let's see who is next.

Closing early for this, except for perhaps the counties along the bay, is so dumb, but IF you are going to close, I totally agree that you have to do it the night before. Nothing changed between last night and this morning. I work from home so I am fortunate that it doesn't really impact me and I can easily get my kids from the bus, but many parents are not that fortunate and this is a huge headache for them. At least let them be able to plan ahead for said huge headache. I really wish I knew the clowns in charge of these decisions.

LOL. Now on the verge of punting all of January?
