Albeit last year was a bit of an exception...because we had a good look that winter...except for the cold air, lol

Hm...3.5 inches to D.C. but 15-20 in DE...Oh wow I wonder which enso state THAT was? And what kind of system it was? Lol (3 guesses and ya only need one each)

Nah wasn't that like April 2nd that year? (At least the flurries I'm thinking of)

What's your total for the season?

This winter was very much a forum divided winter. Further south/southeast you were the better!

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).
