North Balti Zen

Did that number get adjusted after 3/14/17? There was back and forth at the time about how much fell that day.

2016/17 was BAD (but not quite historic with the March 14, 2017 snow ruining the run at placing each airport on the list except for a 5th place for BWI) - that year ended up BWI 3.0"/DCA 3.4"/IAD 7.3" . Prior to that mid-March "save" in 2017 BWI had 1", DCA had 1.7" and Dulles also had 1.7".

BUMP: Here's where we are currently on 1/21/20: BWI: 1.8"/DCA: 0.6"/IAD: 2.9" These are the seasonal futility numbers to keep in mind as this horror show continues: BWI: .7 - '49/'50 1.2 - '72/'73 1.8 - 2011/12 2.3 - 2001/02 3.0 - 2016/2017 DCA .1 - '97/'98 .1 - '72/'73 2.0 - 2011/12 2.2 - '75/'76 2.5 - '30/'31 Dulles: 2.2 - '72/'73 2.6 - 2001/02 3.7 - 2011/12 4.4 - '80/'81 5.9 - '97/'98

20 - that caught me off-guard - wasn't paying attention to the forecast lows. Cold.

That’s literally not his politics or who he is.

His area and most of the balt city area did not do all that well last year - we’ve kinda gotten the wrong end of a lot of systems since January 2016. Which might make sense from a payback view as we maxed out in that storm and it feels like payback has been underway for awhile.

nice pics psu. Looks about same as what I found north of Lititz. Even up there it didn’t really cash in.

well done - a unicorn to keep an eye on and I made final table in perryville and chopped the 2:00 tournament. You all get gold stars for today.

I stand by my previous mersky observation.

The drive to the wildlife management area north of Lititz, PA was worth it. Got to walk with my dog about a mile and a half on a trail - no one around so she was able to lope along in the snow offleash and then the snowfall resumed as we ended the walk and it’s snowing now as I get lunch in Lancaster. at least I saw and spent some time in snow today, so worth the chase even if only an inch or two on the ground up here so far.

About to get out of car - north of Lancaster north of lititiz at middle creek wildlife management area - it has snowed here a little but not snowing currently - feels like it should be and radar says it should but nothing falling at moment. Maybe that will chance when Ellie (My pup) and I start walking. the fact that it isn’t snowing up here with returns overhead makes me think I mean indeed cursed...

Thanks! Got a very helpful PM from a poster in that area suggesting a state park to head for (Middle Creek). About to be on my way.

gonna make a run to Lancaster area - the pup is now 14 months old (yellow lab) - worth trying to find some decent snow and a path in the woods.

Looks like Lancaster might be better bet.

For round two, is Gettysburg to Lancaster still supposed to see snow this PM? I am gonna toss dog in car and head if so.

Nice to see a burst for areas not expecting anything - I’m mostly just amazed at how far north the whole system drove to deny our area any widespread thump. This winter is so disappointing.

Yup. Radar is hilarious with the first line - areas not in advisory cashed while the advisory areas see a broken line.

Mersky kinda sucks.

One thing so far in this rather yet again disappointing winter, I seem to recall the seasonal outlooks from the various long range modeling showing it at last average in terms of precip if not above average, and more than a little hinting at southern stream moisture being available. To this point, that is not how this has played out at all, I don't believe. And we certainly have not seen a lot of juiced up storms miss us up the coast or very many juiced up monsters cutting to our west and threatening to become 50/50 lows for follow-up systems. Mostly it has been pretty quiet in terms of organized storm activity from my perception.

Sarcasm?

It's not even really worth the chase I was considering - have to drive almost to NY to get to decent snow. This winter kinda does blow at this point.

Was there from 1975-1982. Then east side of Columbus from 1982 - 1989. I was in high school during the Browns near misses in 86 and 87 - more browns fans than bengals fans where I went to HS in central Ohio - two all-time gut punch losses for sure for browns fans. West side of Cincinnati before central Ohio primarily altho we moved around town a lot those years.

Yeah - this is what I was thinking in my post over at banter - was wondering if euro might be on an island.

Bengals. Yes. I’ve said that on here a time or two before. Grew up in Cincinnati. Been a fan for five decades. No one will ever accuse me of being a fair weather or bandwagon fan.

Um, no, it is correctly stated. The Brown levels of ineptitude is an order of magnitude way worse that Cincinnati. At least we had playoff appearances this decade and what not.
