Man, look at those sites in northern PA that 18 hours ago were modeled to get 12-15" and are now progged under an inch. The weenies there have a legit reason to complain.

Part of the final episode is on Youtube, with the February '95 snowstorm bearing down on us: Final A.M. Weather (Part 1) - YouTube

GFS gives me twice as much precip as you. I'm not buying that.

Sounds good. Biggest concern out this way is that the precip with the WAA fades as the primary dies and then the coastal is too far east. So far, models haven't been hinting at that so good to see that nice moisture on Sunday continue on the ECMWF.

Thanks Mike. I appreciate it.

Can anyone show how the WAA piece looks on 6Z Euro ? Curious how much of that total shown above comes Sunday.

Euro gave me ~0.70” on the 12Z Monday run and I got 0.20”. I’m not buying any big QPF until it’s falling on my yard.

Looked at local climate data today and saw that the record daily snowfall at Martinsburg for 2/1 is only 2.0". That's the lowest total of any day in January or February there. Hopefully that record falls on Monday.

And PD II in 2003. Probably the greatest analog list ever, lol.

This is QPF on the GGEM after the coastal takes over. For us “westerners” this is all snow.

One of my favorite Ryan moments: first season the O's played at Camden Yards. Early season series with Texas was disrupted by rain and in an effort to get in a second game of the series, the two teams played a 12:35 matinee on what would have been the travel day. Not many knew the game was being played and I showed up to a crowd of 1,200 people. Got to sit right behind home plate. Ryan started, but seemed like he was having trouble getting loose. Couple of walks and a few hits later and the Orioles had touched him up for a couple of early runs. #10 Mike Devereaux stepped to the plate and came out of his shoes swinging at a high fastball on the first pitch. The big swing pissed Ryan off. The next pitch stuck Devereaux right between the 1 and the 0 on his back. From my seat I could see the smile on Ryan's face, even as Devereaux groaned in pain.

First Topps card collection I worked on was 1971. They had photos of the players on the back of the card as well, which greatly reduced the space available for stats. That kinda sucked.

I remember paying 10 cents for 10 cards. And the place I bought them had penny candy. For a penny. God, I'm old lol.

You won't die. My driveway is 200' long and I have shoveled it for 15 years. Lots of pretty big storms in that time. During the last snow in December my 12-year old helped. But for most of that time I did it solo. I will be 58 years old in March and am seriously considering a snow blower purchase at some point before the next Nino.

Cold too, with mid-to-upper 20's falling to the low-to-mid 20's as the storm progresses.

I think I may have seen only 5 big snowstorms (10"+) in the past 50 years in a Nina. A couple of them probably didn't reach that criteria in the metro areas, like Jan 1971 and Dec 1973 ? Other than that, its just Jan 1996, Jan 2000 and Feb 2006 as best I can recall. The models at various times in the past week have offered up 3 different storms that size. I will remain skeptical until I see a similar solution under 72 hours.

12/16- 8.7” 01/20- 0.1" 01/25- 0.4" total - 9.2"

I'm not planning to plant these in the ground. Once they grow, I will move them into planters and pots that I can take outside when the weather warms up. Until then they can provide some fragrance indoors.

Freezing drizzle at 31°. Rural roads are covered in a thin layer of ice . Storm total of 0.20” of liquid, drier than most of the driest models.

Echoes keep redeveloping on radar keeping the light snow going here. Up to half an inch. Really pretty January night.

Looks like it’s still trying to work out how our 60 hour snowfall happens.

Lost 2 degrees in the last hour. Now 29 with steady fine flakes falling and coating everything. Getting slick already with fzra still to come? 0.4"

Steady wet snow since 6:15 but tapering off now. Pavement covered, especially in areas that don’t get the best sun. 0.3” 31.4 degrees

Good to see you posting Dave. Visited my Mom in Cumberland recently. The old Moose lodge just to the left of that image is now a marijuana dispensary and the old Kelly Springfield tire plant over that hill on the left is a growing facility, lol.

Left Winchester at 5 o’clock in a light rain. 20 minutes north in Martinsburg started running into a rain/sleet mix. Now home 15 minutes north of Martinsburg and it’s a light snow/sleet mix. Trash can lids covered. 32°
