3.5" in about 4 hours here in Opal, Va just south of Warrenton as the moderate snow is starting to wind down.

I want a winter storm watch even if it ends up a wwA wont get a WSW with this in the MA https://www.weather.gov/lwx/winter

Ji, you gave up in JUNE

we want them to lose. we want the 2nd pick to grab chase young. .the local homegrown DE talent from dematha!

thanks for the doom and gloom Ebenezer Chill! Seriously, I value your input tremendously in this forum. You are definitely one of the top 5 go to guys here. thanks man and have a Merry Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Holiday! At least now i have one less time consumer on my hands this month

here is his 20min short version forecast: seems to be a mid to backloaded winter forecast from him

duplicate sorry

and DT IS ALLL IN!!

trying hard to follow here, but its nonsense gobbly gook to me

APRIL FOOLS'!

Ji has been done since December torched

JI and I are not impressed with the 7 day QPF total. It's a disaster.

you should be good to go @mco! wind out of the north 15 to 20 kts no issues

yes there are, but wind affects aircraft landing attributes much more substantially. Cross wind components differ for every type of aircraft. I wouldn't worry about the departure, Id worry about the arrival phase of flight. the whole east coast to Chicago is going to be a mess tomorrow with wind. Here is the TAF forecast for BWI for 14z/11am, they are expecting wind to be out of the west at 280 @ 19kts gust 40kts. But you are in luck, one of BWI's main runways is lined up directly with the wind Rwy 28 which Im 100% postive will be the active Rwy for departures anyway.

An Apology To @Ji----I've been on the anti-JI bandwagon all season long and you know what, Hes bucked the trend all season and has been generally correct. I am now as Ji-amistic as JI is.. (at least for this season) Seeing is believing for. 10 days out doesn't do it for me anymore I'll be a JI-amist up until the time we are actually NOW CASTING something.

Well we are almost at climo.. but.. I agree.. it has been a let down with all the fall predictions of everyone bathing in snow up to their eyeballs!

so no one is worried about the giant snow hole in central VA and beyond?

Cant believe Sterling actually expanded their snow coverage map. The 6-8 range pushed about a county and half east from where it was this morning.

speak for yourself! im in the battle zone

I think there are magical unicorns in there somewhere if you look really hard and click your heals 3 times

I don't care who you are, that is FUNNY!
