Very true!  Coming up in a couple of weeks I believe!!!

Ohhh you'd better believe it!! Which reminds me I'm gonna start the listening binge early and make it a multi-day thing! Oh hey @stormtracker you never watched "The Genius of Beethoven" did you? Lol Both of ya if you haven't seen it, go on YouTube and watch, I'm telling ya. Best docudrama on Beethoven and a brilliant portrayal by Paul Ries.

Oh and off-topic...but @stormtracker, you changed your Beethoven icon look I see??

What better time than Beethoven birthday month?

You can see another area of vorticity just barely escape out ahead of our wave. 

I mean this is the GFS at hour 147 and just look at how close our waves are to creating something truly special

Instead it escapes and its all the NS doing work

Ngl for whatever reason I'm feeling this one. We got all the stuff setup at the H5 level and just need something to combine together. 

Layman opinion (and someone knowledgeable feel free to correct me):

When it comes to having to time up a NS wave coming at us with another cort to our south...it doesn't feel like that ever ends in our favor--and more often it seems like it comes together too late (especially in a nina) It's just so much going on and not a simple way to get something. Now that being said...does this look like something that could go boom for somebody on the EC if/when it does come together?

But given our history with NS waves being the primary and having to dive in like that? I'm skeptical of getting something to come together in time.

lol pretty radical

Yeah I'm sure the models have this perfectly figured out by err...next Saturday

That is a pretty wild H5 at hr 180 on the gfs lol

That window seems interesting for somebody on the EC to maybe get something a little more substantial...but that's just my amateur eyes, and seeing an X Met mention that weekend, lol

Even though the accumulation in Towson were on the low side, I thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful winter day.  Went for a snow drive down towards DC in the AM and got to see the heavier dendrites.  Had lunch, then wife and I went for a Hike at Lake Roland.  It was crisp with snow flurries sprinkled in.  Felt so good.  Then, after dinner, got to take a little run with snow still falling and actually heavier than most of the day. Was not expecting that!  It looks beautiful outside with the lights and the sugar coating of snow on everything.  What a great day!

Yes the evening snow was a nice surprise! I've noticed that this happens sometimes with these sliders that go to our south...we sometimes we get more on the backend of the system than the front for some reason, lol

Snow and freezing rain mix here! I must say I have enjoyed the wintry atmosphere heading to and from rehearsals for a Christmas program. I have learned to enjoy even the light coverings once I actually step outside

It’s actually snowing with decent sized flakes 

B8ggest flake size of the day for me, haha This is another weird thing that happens...the main stuff is south, but then the back bends are productive

@NorthArlington101Hope this suffices for my UVA pictures from this morning 

 

Oh my goodness man...shall they add photography to your future tag? These pictures are absolutely incredible!

Just now, TSSN+ said:

Ya missed one 25 miles to the north and 25 miles to the south. Brutal 

Seriously. Man I don't care who critcizes--we got every right to vent and complain as much as we'd like after 10 years of snow mediocrity and snow stopping right at the doorstep and hitting a frickin' wall (especially my area--literally dividing line between me and my own reporting station)...while they southern half of the forum--where most posters seem to live--cashes in. I do not understand what's been going on, smh End rant (I guess, lol)

Long range right now looks dry but chilly. 

Yeah I don't think we're gonna have anything to track for awhile. Unfortunately for us this was probably the best chance for a bit.

Same! Which is a fun bonus as I expected nothing at all 

I hope both of our times come eventually...

(Did get about a coating here though)

We call that 2.75” in this business 

Your perspective is too slanted...

yes.  we win a battle or two...they will win the war

You all have been winning the war the last 8 years, tbh...but we oughta turn it around eventually I hope. This has been a historically odd stretch

beautiful snow flakes. borderline cold smoke? its cooold.

Hey hey! No cheating with a snowflake pattern on your clothes! Juicing your flake count--DISQUALIFIED!!

Northern Counties Forcefield is up...

This is why it's so hard for me to believe this has just been bad luck. How does something set up in the exact same place this many times in 8 years?

Haven’t been seeing very much in the past few years up here. So many southern sliders in these Nina’s. Hopefully can pull something out soon cause the legit storm drought up here is wild. I haven’t seen a storm over 7” since 2016. 

Wait seriously? Wow...It's crazy how your yard and mine have suffered the same thing since 2016 despite you being way north of me! Just a frustratingly weird 10 years of this.

Reminds me of Jan 13th 2019... just not nearly as much.

That storm...and the one a month before that smoked NC...started this whole south of Bmore better precip mess

I got 11" last year and it was the best of the 3 since we bought property here. 2 previous were basically shutouts. Sounds awesome right? Lol

I guess not, lol But you being south does give you better nina climo, wouldn't you say? You don't have to miss the southern sliders (or even the front end of Miller Bs?)

Super active =\ super wet

I was about to say...this looks like cold and dry to me since it may be harder for anything to amplify and ya get more interference.

My baby son is due tomorrow morning, so it may very well be that we'll be driving through the snow on slippery roads to get to the hospital. It won't take much snow to make the roads dicey especially with cold temperatures overnight. Fortunately it's only a 10 minute drive and we'll give ourselves extra time to get there. 

Will probably be busy over the next couple of weeks, but I'll try to pop in here if there's something else to track.

May it snow tomorrow and everyone gets at least 1"!

Wowww congratulations Terp! Hey bringing him into the world the way of a snowlover  Prayers for a safe delivery and a safe trip there!

Lol. Usually keep a grapple on the front of my tractor but I switched it to the bucket today... to move gravel...but you never know lol. Could bomb off the coast and drop a foot. 

I'm sticking to gut call of 1-2" but would gladly accept the 18z gfs or 12z low res nam haha

Is it possible you moved into a better snow climo by going south? Lol
