  1. Whoa! Street caved completely with this burst! Coating-1" everywhere!
  2. Indeed (been mostly snow in my neighborhood)! Even my street has caved a little bit now...could manage a nice coating even on the regular surfaces
  3. Hey...I'd rather transient cold shots be the worst case scenario than a pac flood, lol (and btw...we still managed a pretty good storm at the end of January 2000...so there's that! ) Hey @psuhoffman Ya got one of those maps for that month?
  4. Wait, what part of the city are you in? Been mostly snow here in Northwood area for the last hour!
  5. That's actually pretty incredible, lol (but it is 34 degrees here now)
  6. About 34 here in Balt. City...Moderate snow--main accumulation on grass and cartops!
  7. Lol I've been meaning to ask about what the EURO was saying! (seems the GFS has been waffling a bit...but overall, does it seem like a lighter storm than the driving rain it was advertising a couple days ago?)
  8. Dang...So right now it's basically a model war for determining the fate of the winter? Whoa boy...gonna be a long 10-15 days, lol (but at least we'll finally know something by then...)
  9. Almost the same even here in the city--39 (I think we hit like 52, lol)
  10. And the only time we ever got a big snow this early in January, lol
  11. That's like a micro version of last year's storm that gave BWI 4.8 but DC a foot!! Ouch (for here, lol)
  12. If we're extremely lucky? The Farmer's Almanac will be correct, lol (they said 4"-8" inches in the "Northeast" for this date range. Of course, the 4" may be closer to our max...but who knows? )
  13. They've been making out like fat rats since last winter, smh
  14. Good news is we've had plenty of wet football practice this year...so there is that, lol
  15. Oh yeah? Shoot...(and the 12z GFS does have the yellow right over us near gametime, too, smh Home field advantage...go figure)
  16. I guess it's no missing that rainstorm next weekend, huh? Smh Bad timing
  17. It snowed last January...lol But prime climo is pushed to mid/late January, though--I never expect anything before then. (This year it's shaping up to be February at the rate we're going)
  18. Meanwhile...the models continue to show a dang rainstorm for next Saturday...rain football AGAIN, smh So not only is the pattern crap and warm...the Ravens finally secure home field advantage and now it looks like the old "rain on the weekends" theme seems to want to start up again....CRAP!!!!!!
  19. Yeah I don't care if this is still 8 days out...I don't like seeing this. Rain in the vicinity for the game. Gets outta here by our 8:15 game time this run...but knowing our luck we've had with home weather this year, would not be surprised if it slowed down and delayed until the game is over, smh Hope this will he wrong!
  20. I can't see how anybody can sleep on KC, lol If/when we see them, that's gonna be a dog fight...I feel a bit better that would see them here instead of up there, but...still gonna be a challenge!
  21. Meanwhile, next weekend might be...wait for it...rain. AGAIN...smh Still 8 days out, but knowing our luck with the weather this year...that's gonna be exactly it.
  22. This is unfortunate...because that means one less we can snow here now. If it can only happen during moderate Niños (since obviously last year's weak one also didn't work under these new climate conditions), I'm wondering if we're in danger of only getting legitimate snows an average of 3/10 years per decade as opposed to our current 4 or 5/10 years. (I mean mod ninos...why are those only once or twice a decade, anyway? Smh) If climate change is now stealing lowering our chances for snow even MORE...we need to appreciate whatever we get, however we get it (ESPECIALLY warning level snows)
  23. I'm not sure we got any more than 3 or 4 inches (will have to check the official record, though). And with last January's 4.8 inches...we still technically haven't had a warning level event verify here since 2016, lol
  24. @MillvilleWx Was just about to post here about a similar topic! For as much as we are disappointed at the moment...we gotta remember that we've experienced some pretty epic weather this decade. Obviously Snowmageddon was the topper. But then we have the derecho...Temp wise we have had some record heat and some bitter cold. And far as just snow...we actually did something we rarely do: Have 3 consecutive winters about the 20" mark. For me, the best winters were 2009-10 and 2013-14 (I overall loved the stretch from 2013-Jan 2016)!
  25. In regards to the solar...it's possible this winter further makes the argument for the lag period between the minimum and any blocking benefits we get from it (as we were discussing a couple months ago. Doesn't seem like the lag period is always a given--we certainly benefited in 1986-87 and 1995-96, lol). If we only reached the minimum THIS year and not last, it could be that we don't feel that until next winter...(and even then it may not be guaranteed--although in our more recent decades, we have benefited from the previous 4 solar mins. It seems like the one in May 1976 may have lagged for a year resulting in the 1977-78 winter. Connection?)
