Aw man...Of course it would be just like this winter would try and throw in one "just missed!" to twist the knife...lol

Wait...were we tracking something on the 25th? Lol

And now...apparently the op is now reflecting a bit of that...

Looks more like just a modeling of a wider precip shield than a turn up the coast (that High blocking it seems to be the real deal)

Lol...That's a good question. Ya know, I'm only now realizing just how much I do it until you said that I think it's because I often I end up expressing a lot of "sidebar" thoughts that are kinda related to the preceding sentence, but not completely (same thing during my personal interactions in reality, lol....Dang it I just did it again!) My ADD brain often wants to get multiple thoughts out at once; but then, my mild OCD drives my compulsion to keep the paragraph on one subject. Could be grammatical laziness too...wanting to express quickly yet not having the patience for using the proper syntax to put the thoughts together, lol P.S. I moved this to banter so we wouldn't crowd the thread...despite the dirth of optimism at the moment, lol

We only get so many winters in a lifetime. Giving one up hurts badly I can kinda feel ya on that...but Bob is right. We would do well to develop better coping mechanisms for dealing with our boom/bust region (since moving ain't in the cards for some of us). Yeah it sucks when it happens like this...especially when it comes on a streak of years where we've had more trouble scoring. Back-to-back ninas, followed by a winter that didn't produce due to MJO, too weak of a nino, or whatever, then this winter (so far). Brutal stretch we've been having. (and yes, we only have a lifetime of winters. But who knows, brother...maybe there's snow on the other side too! )

They just wanna rip off a guy's mask right off, I'm tellin' ya...lol

What...(ya know, I shoulda known better than to use the same icon on Twitter...lol) But I don't quite understand your response...I wasn't the one that was complaining about cold and snow! I think ya just posted this to troll me...lol

And who are these people that have been living under a snowless mud-rock that are saying this???

I keep forgetting to distinguish between DCA and BWI, lol

And even 97-98 had more snow than we have right now, lol

If anybody is rooting for a futility record, they'd probably vote against that happening...lol There has not been a February that failed measure just a trace of snow since 1898...so 122 years! A snow squall would eliminate that futility record...lol (if we're gonna be bad, may as well go all the way )

I got 5 inches of sleet and an inch of snow. Really wild Oh yeah? Wow (I'm guessing N&W areas did a little better?)

How much did we get from that one?...

Thanks. I don't know what his problem is or why he singles me out among the others here...and again, we did this exactly one year ago where he fired a random shot at me out of nowhere, as if I'm the center of the problem, smh

Hey wait a minute...I remember you from last year. So you complain about a post having no value with a post that also adds no value...nice.

If that's your opinion, take it up with the moderators. And there's also an ignore button too. (And I find it interesting that you singled just me out for this...)

If SC were to out-snow us this year...mercy. I hope we are repair for this in early March or next year.

I got ya. my comment was slightly tounge-in-cheek--not a criticism (sorry it came off that way). It was more of a "that's a long way to go to see if the positive trends will hold", lol) But I get how you're looking at things...and have in turn started to pay more attention to what you and others have been saying about the overall pattern, long wave tracking (or lack thereof), etc.

384 hours is too long of a way to go man...lol

That would suck if we saw the same movie play out two weeks in a row on the modeling...but, that's this winter for ya. As far as I'm concerned this threat is it for February as far as getting anything shovel-worthy this month. It ain't snowin' on the last week of February...that's my story and I'm stickin' to it, lol (kinda)

Hello! Mid-Atlantic dweller here...Now I'd caution against thinking the euro being on an island is a good thing. Last Friday it was on it's own showing a cutter a cutter up here...until all the other guidance caved to it the very next day, lol Not to say it definitely happens the same way, but...just something to consider!

So last week it insisted on cutter and was right...and this week it insists on suppressed...so I suppose we gotta assume what it shows is gonna happen unless, well, it changes, lol (stating the obvious, lol)

Man I hope we don't draw a la nina next year...that would be a punch in the gut after going through all this (unless we pull off a miracle thos witner) While winters like this one are tough...la ninas are straight-up heartbreakers with the propensity for close misses, smh (la nina means snowhole 75% of the time). If I had to choose between la nina and what we have now...man, I don't know. 2017-18 killed me, lol At least we don't have to hear about folks south and east and northeast of us cashing in while we sit here snowless! Ya know, if we were in a better position to score during la ninas...our overall snow average would probably be a little higher! Because you just think if losing 2 or 3 winters per decade to a la nina...get those back and we'd be better, lol

It must have...brought the precip further north...lol (looks more like it's ensemble members at 18z)
