I'll save this post for the next time we get 8" of snow and you get none. 

I guess I should say IF that happens.

I don't complain about something that is not expected in the first place - you should try it! Someone 100 miles NW of DC getting 8" and us zippy is as likely as the sun rising in the east

That is positively depressing. 

That you can't complain anymore?

Opened/closed.. really makes no difference

About 7"... 

nice storm, but if given an option I'd personally take half the amount if the snowfall was spread over a full 24 hours.

Power is out, it is basically a whiteout at the moment. Have picked up 1.3” in last 25 minutes. 6.5” on the ground just NW of FXBG, 31.

ETA: the wind is starting to howl too

Roof hasn't caved in yet?

just vomiting cold smoke

My lights just flickered.  Not good

Hopefully the infrastructure bill addresses our inability to maintain power when 3 inches of snow falls, or we get a 15 mph wind gust

Just had thundersnow again, and it’s absolutely puking again

lights flickering?

DC is safe.. Cantore's flight was canceled. I'd up the totals..

Tasselmeyer has been a great forecaster for a long time. Which is why I expect better from him.

He's got nothing on Sue Polka

The issue is not ratios. Not sure I follow that logic.

There is some strange obsession in this forum about caring what the local news talking heads have to say.. not sure why when you have an endless supply of vastly superior resources around here

Ian on Twitter likes the Jan 5th to 20th time frame for something decent.

I like that time frame ever year

This is just to highlight why Nina’s can suck even when we get cold. The long range 6z Gfs does dump the trough into the east with as much depth as we can reasonably hope for…but there is no stj so the resultant system is going to miss us to the north.  

 

Looks like a standard clipper to me.. don't forget the GFS 65 mile north bias at 384 hours

I suppose blind luck has to move in our favor at some point..

I mentioned this yesterday, but this window looks somewhat interesting for a possible modest wave moving along the boundary to our south. 

Do you honestly think this map will resemble reality in 12 days?

How a conversation at the government would go.

“But Sir why do we need geoengineering?”

”For the Mid Atlantic snow weenies”

”how have you not been fired yet”

The government funds 820 hour model runs and clown maps, so I think they would be more than happy to waste even more resources on the weenies.

Such boring model runs. 01-02 all over again

5th week of Jan looking like we flip.. waiting for the 840 hr GFS to confirm

It’s not just bob chill. Go back and read some of the threads from 10 years ago and the number of really high quality posters in a day. We have about 1/3 now, if that. And I know change is normal but we aren’t replacing the people that leave. I don’t see any new posters of the same quality taking over. It’s troubling. I don’t know exactly why that is but it’s troubling. 

You mean posting 840Hr GFS clown maps hasn't lured him back? He probably just came to his senses and realized he can do much more with his life than spending his day analyzing 10 day model runs that flip 180 degrees every 12 hours.. I'm sure he'll be back if something trackable materializes within a realistic timeframe.

What's troubling is the lack of any winter weather to make it worthwhile for decent posters to contribute. 

I think the 3rd or 4th week of Jan we should start to see the pattern evolve. An inch before the SB would be a definite win
