North Balti Zen

Feels very near deep winter. 4.1" of snow and ice - about .1 snow and ice overnight. Everything is my neighborhood is crusted over. This snow will be here awhile from past experience with an ice cap. Fingers crossed for an additional bit of snow today, that would be hella cool.

I believe tracker is referring to Cleveland Park neighborhood, DC.

Makes sense. I was not around here in 1978 - but the legendary four-day blizzard that clocked Boston - I think from Kocin/Ucinelli when I reviewed that storm Baltimore area picked up around 8 inches, give or take. I am wondering if that was a scenario where just enough banding from the stall north eeked into the area to give them that reading over a period of days. This feels similar - 4 inches from today (over 15 hours) but if Balt City picked up another 2-4 over the next 48 hours it would look more robust 30 years from now than is in the moment...

It's not a fight over snow. At all. It's wondering why a red tagger is trolling. Which he is and has been.

Seriously, here's the sequence: What the **** is that from a red tagger? That reads like Chuck stuff. Even rank amateurs know that five day out progs are not taken literally. The Euro pointed everyone toward the potential of a long duration storm affecting areas on the coast from five days out - which is pretty ****ing amazing. "It was sampled as OUR storm" --- what the bloody hell? That's not how it works. He's a red tagger writing that crap. We have mets on this board who do incredible work on modeling - just amazing work @high risk and others - this is crazy talk coming from a fellow met. And god forbid it get called out...

It indeed cannot. We know from Millville just how gut-wrenchingly hard it is and how it impacts them.

Thanks. That was very politic and well stated. I assume Ravensrule will be along shortly to tell you that you suck for daring to point that out about ers.

He trolls. It's unreal from a red-tagger. He's calling out the Euro from 156 for not having the EXACT DETAILS RIGHT on where the max would be. Rather than acknowleding that all models are guidance and from 156 the Euro was correct as hell that there would be an east coast storm of note with a chance of a high impact. If anyone else did that, it would be rightfully called out. So, go **** yourself, you mewling taint.

Thanks for calling it what it is.

He's awful.

I don't obsess over radar screaming doom during an event like you do, but the one I am looking at holds snow and backbuilds over my area for several hours. And then after midnight, we see what happens with the start of the coastal. After all these years, why are you still living in the bay? Move across town somewhere.

I am over in Roland Park/Mt Washington area and I can assure you it is perfectly good stuff here at the moment, and it looks like it holds here for several hours.

you are just always the angel of doom. always.

I am super pleased with what is happening now. If this can hold for a few hours I will go over five inches...

Just back from a walk. It is probably as good now in terms of rates as it was earlier today. I am now at 4". I think I may make verified warning criteria. It is gorgeous out.

Just had to mute Tombo on twitter. I just...I can't see the glee.

Hell, this is close enough that it can be in the 3-7 day thread.

There can some pretty awesome midwestern blizzards out your way though. Huge wind driven events if you catch the right one.

holding at 3.2 inches - hoping something decent re-organizes and gives better flakes again for awhile in Balt City. Been snizzle for about three hours now...

Yeah, still crystals and flurries. Can't get the better flakes to turn back on. Another .5" on the board - at 3 inches now.

No.

The occasional gusts are here now. Blowing snow off of tree limbs.

Wind! Rates holding steady.

Back to decent sized flakes here - accumulating again.

He's telling you to stop having expectations in this set-up and stop trying to know exactly what's gonna happen. Seriously. Stop. Just enjoy what is falling now and see if we can catch some of the bands over the next 48 hours. We have a chance at that. No guarantees.
