Yeah this weekend was just a bonus if it worked out. I'm not even a fan of that setup. They usually end up way worse in my actual yard than on the pretty maps. The flip to sleet always happens way sooner than progged and it's mostly a sleet/freezing rain event.

This is a typical Ji post, but it's not really all wrong. There was some hype about the second half of January being really good, but by second half of January, it seems more like the last week, if that, of January could be interesting. 10 days from now is already January 24. And that's if you are buying the 10-15 + day stuff again.

Big step back on the GEFS. No wiggle room for DC or even Baltimore. Let's hope happy hour is better.
-
Only an OP but GFS doesn't have much to get excited about.
-
What a crappy night. Might need to make my first trip the panic room. Ravens go down and the upcoming pattern takes a step back.
-
I guess we don't have to worry about the weather forecast for next Sunday.
-
I was thinking the exact same thing as well. Haven't had too many snow games. The Ravens-Vikings game in 2013 was a lot of fun.
-
I don't either, but fun to look at. It's kinda like buying a lottery ticket before the actual drawing. It's fun to dream lol.
-
Just saw the 6z GFS fantasy storm. Woooo boy. That looks fun.
-
Yeah, so lucky. 2014 was an absolute blast.
-
January/February 2014 was very cold and a parade of storms. It was basically tracking for two straight months. We've had much more snow and much bigger storms, but I don't remember a period that long that was that busy and wintry. February 2015 was basically the same, but to a lesser extent.
-
It would be quite windy though ahead of the front during the game, wouldn't it?
-
Judah cancelling winter might mean winter is about to start LOL.
-
I'm pretty much there at this point. I'm come to terms with it and I'm at peace with it. My hope is that another dud winter (although I know some will argue last winter wasn't a dud since we were around average snowfall but the way we got there sucked) makes us due (even though that's not really a thing), but I just want a big snowstorm. Sure, a blizzard would be great, but a 4-8/6-12/8-14 would be nice, and one that doesn't start melting the second it ends or turns to rain and washes away.
-
Seems like we are only a few days away from probably cancelling almost all of January.
-
Did anyone really expect it to snow during this period though? It's been obvious to me for a few days now that we are done through at least January 20 unless some fluke event hits us, and I'm not tracking any potential fluke events in this crap pattern unless they get within a 3-4 day window of hitting us.
-
Isn't it more about being east for us and not too far south? I mean, NYC is quite often too far south. Unless you are in the interior Northeast or in New England, you basically get the same snow every year, with some exceptions obviously. NYC averages a couple inches of snow per year more than BWI.
-
Maybe there was a good storm or two in there, but I literally don't remember getting anything more than 1-3 inches or so since the January 2016 blizzard. I don't recall any storm since then where I was doing any real shoveling.
-
Agreed. I'd rather all of the most knowledgeable posters here be honest and realistic and not just feed fantasy BS just to make people feel good. It just makes it worse when it doesn't come to fruition. It is what it is right now. Things currently look bleak. Very bleak. Maybe they turn around, maybe they don't. We are paying the price for the heater we were on from 2009-2016 I suppose. I guess some would argue 2016 sucked, which it did outside of a few days, but I digress.
-
Far too early to punt this winter, but getting the vibe we may have to pull off a 2016 type event where we get super lucky with timing to salvage this winter at all. Otherwise, it could be like 2016 minus the blizzard.
-
Haha that can't be final for BWI. I swear for all the complaining about DCA's reporting, BWI's is equally as comical. I live pretty close to the airport and they are always low on totals.
-
Eased up to just flurries here and it looks like in general the lifting mechanism is dying out. Lots of weakening of the bands now. It was a fun evening though. Let's keep the ball rolling for next weekend. That's the BIG one.
-
Not sure but BWI should have been getting really good snow the past 3-4 hours. They should be over 8 and maybe hit double digits.
-
Same. That was really odd.
-
At this rate, I might, too, as crazy as that sounds.
