Virgaville in Towson

is it time for me to up my snowfall contest prediction by 10 inches?

Ditto this! I was 11 but my experience was the same as yours. I remember waking up around 4ish and was in absolute awe at how hard it was snowing where I lived in Baltimore. I went from window to window not really believing what I was seeing. It was also special that the rest of the family was still asleep...felt like it was a special gift just for me! Although I have seen a couple of storms with more overall accumulation, there was no replacing seeing the rates that PD1 gave early that morning! Instant imprint on my brain that led to this sick obsession that I share with many of you on this board. I'm glad that I am now old enough that I can enjoy each and every event without all of the ups and downs of model mania.

Help me to understand the phrase, "The models always sniff out the big ones early." Does this mean all the models spit out a lot of snow and keep it throughout all their cycles? Is there not wavering in the models even for the "Big ones"? If memory serves (which it might not as I have a poor memory) I believe even in the "Big ones" models will shift around a bit with snow amounts and then come into better focus within 2-3 days of the event.

I hate those 2 letters!!

There's a chance!

Slept with weather radio on always hoping to hear the beeping signals when they announced a storm warning. I called Balto. weather 936-1212 several times a day

loved Gary Grays write ups! Is Marcus still around or is that a story for a different thread?

Oh, yes. dial up! Never forget those modems! I appreciate that I am not the only old timer that spends a lot of lurking time here. It is nice to share a strange obsession with others who have the same obsession

I'm probably one of the longer members with the fewest post. also an Eastern carry over. wasn't there a board before Eastern?

Nam looking good for Baltimore County. https://www.pivotalweather.com/model.php?m=nam&p=snku_acc-imp&rh=2025011900&fh=24&r=us_ma&dpdt=&mc=

Great storm for sure! Remember the thread well and how PSU saw it coming many days away. I became a true PSU believer then! The Jeb walk with the kids and the thunder and lightning was the best. Reminded me of the blizzard of 87 with the thunder an lightning.

i got BECS as well on my third try, nothing on first two spins. Does that give a 33% chance of a BECS or do I divide 24" by 3? that would be 8 inches. I'll take that.
