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.
-
Getting dumped on right now. Heaviest snow yet. This is awesome.
-
Good stuff. I've easily picked up a couple inches in the past two hours. I feel like every subsequent run of HRRR doesn't change amounts going forward.
-
I'm just going to pretend the NAM situation from a couple days ago is happening where we got like 15 inches from this part of the storm LOL.
-
Now we are cranking. Up to moderate snow now, huge flakes. Hope I can get a few hours of this before it all winds down.
-
My band has picked up a little bit more now. Definitely a steady light snow.
-
Maybe that's it, but I'm literally in the middle and actually more toward the end than the beginning of that band and it's still not doing much. Picked up slightly to maybe a steady light snow?
-
I'm sitting in the dark greens right now with the yellow band literally a couple of miles away at most and backing into me and it's not snowing above a light snow shower. Not sure what gives.
-
Snowing lightly now, but steadily enough that the street has caved again even after we got plowed down to wet pavement a few hours ago. Hoping to get into the yellows.
-
Anytime now.......that band is weakening too as it slowly approaches.
-
The huge band moving out of DC looks like it means business and seems like it wants to continue to march north.
-
Waiting impatiently for something to get up here. Band went by me to northwest and everything else falls apart before it gets here.
-
Radar continuing to light up but it's like there is a wall right around Laurel and nothing can penetrate it.
