What does a 0.1" drift look like?

Wow pretty good band moving through now! Large, parachuting flakes getting blown almost sideways...awesome! Now see, I think we woulda needed more of this kind of thump to get any pavement accumulation, lol Eta: by @Baltimorewx

That's true. I mean...could we say March sun angle as well? It seems like in March you almost really need heavy rates--especially during the daytime. So overall I'm not sure today can be used as an example of it getting harder to snow. Don't think this woulda worked 20 years ago, lol

Kinda slept through the first part of this one...woke up a little before 8 and it was wind-blown sleet just changing over. Woke up to see all the grassy areas covered and quite windy--nice little last March hoorah for a winter that kinda underwhelmed for some of us, lol

Its almost 7am and i got 16 more degrees to drop Did that exact thing happen a few weeks ago or no?

Why do you torture yourself so? Just let it happen, brother.

Do it!!! I'll be here to critique

Yeah I don't like Lanina's crew...they kinda suck and are incredibly biased towards teams like the Beachers and the Northeastans...

The newer girl on Fox45 is a weenie through and through...She just said "Unfortunately it doesn't look like it's gonna be a bigger snow"...Love that she said UNfortunately, hahaha

No we ain't, lolol

Still waiting for your what can go wrong post lol I think those are only for 10-12+ inchers But really it seems like this one is more straightforward.

Good thing we just did that a few weeks ago

Oh yeah I wasn't disagreeing with that at all--just giving a theory as to why 3-inch blizzard seems weird despite being scientifically correct, lol

I think the conflating of the two is because of a lot of our early associations with the word "blizzard". You hear that mentioned around and you immediately think like Blizzard of 96' or 79'. Thus, you think deep snow goes with "blizzard"! That's why a 3-inch blizzard, while true via scientific definition, doesn't naturally jive with that association...it's weird!!

Ah but the next quest will now begin...for Niño 2022-23!

Now I'm wondering if the icing over affects the Sunday AM commute at all?

The first one ESPECIALLY--my whole position about digital snow and snow maps, lol You can't lose what ya never had!!

Ah so that's what RGEM stands for! Really Good Exaggeration Model

So basically a weenie run, lol

With all due respect, I thougt I kinda stated my point: I question whether it's too soon to say it's gonna keep getting harder to snow. I bring up the mediocre periods of 5-7 years we saw at various points over the last 4-5 decades to compare it to now. Even you yourself said that your theory is more deductive reasoning--and I'm not knocking that method, btw. But in that method, of course...there are less hard data points for comparison. Thus, the reason I bring up previous mediocre periods to better see if what we are dealing with is something we've seen before or not. I guess that kinda summarizes my point: 1) Do we have enough evidence to definitvely say this will continue? Is 6-7 years really a big enough sample size? (now if you are referring to before 2016 my apologies if I missed that) 2) Have we seen this before in previous mediocre snow periods? maybe a deep dive into the "intersnowy" periods, (as someone aptly titled a thread) may bear out what you say. Now I'm not sure...but are you And I'm not saying you're definitely wrong (I respect your opinion)--and yeah I have an obvious bias of hoping you're NOT onto something, lol--but I'd like to see a little more--both time, and more hard comparisons to before (even if we go back just 30 years and look forward from there).

See if you can guess why I had a good laugh at the first sentence...lol

But how do you know the PAC firehose wasn't the reason for that? Was there not a general lack of cold air last season? This season we had cold air but no blocking...we have this last year and it's different. And as far as not having an arctic outbreak, to me, Jan 2017 wasn't that long ago, lol I just wonder if it's premature to sound the alarm.

Seeing a few mangled snowflakes mix in...but otherwise a chiiiiilly, stay-in-the-bed kind of rain, lol

Uh Mods? I'd like to report a case of age fraud...

Hahaha Yeah I think I share my age (+/- a year) with Millersville and @Fozz...Come to think of it, I think the youngest regular poster here would be... @Cobalt? Perhaps followed by the other poster (can't remember his name) that has a red tag that started posting recently. But it seems like there are more of you "old heads" on here. Weenie generations ftw, lol
