Just tidying up in here still. Getting it ready, just in case.

Based on the cansips and the overall tone of sadness in the long range and winter thread, gonna go ahead and bump this now so we can start tracking the futility records early...

The updated total for BWI was 2.3. so I have amended the post above. The sleet fest ended up costing a chance at top 5 worst snowfall seasons at each airport but BWI.

On the season? Ok, thanks, have updated.

YTD now: 3.0 BWI (2.3 on 3/14) 3.4 DCA (1.7 on 3/14) 7.3 Dulles (5.6 on 3/14) That 3.0 for the season is 5th worst all-time for BWI on the seasonal snowfall list. The 3.4 seasonal total for DCA moves them off the top 5 worst ever list. The 7.3 for Dulles also moves them from what had been in running for their worst seasonal total ever to off the top 5 worst list. Late season "save", I guess, although doesn't feel like it to me.

Closing in... YTD remains - 0.7" BWI (would tie for worst) 1.4" DCA (top 3 worst) 1.6" Dulles (would be new worst)

a south and east winter...lol.

Drawing into range now.

YTD as of 2/9/17: Tie for top 1 worst, top 3 worst and top 1 worst snowfall seasons at the respective airports still on the table as an option.

Yeah. Game on.

We got this.

It would appear futility chase remains alive.

That's what I needed, thanks MN!

Thanks!

I had this in the banter thread, but am pulling it out and dropping it here for quick reference, and, because, well, it may be relevant sadly in other years too. At any rate, if people could help double-check, I think we are at year to date: 0.7" BWI 1.4" DCA 1.0" Dulles Seriously, if someone can fact check the current numbers that would be great. Here's the relevant futility lists for each airport for reference: http://www.weather.gov/lwx/winter_storm-pr#SeasonalSnowfall Hoping we get snow that takes the airports off of these lists, but, if not, they are the markers.

Sure is - as befitting a snow town... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looking at those months - have to assume those were all pumped up with tropical systems or remnants maybe.

Feb. 8 - 11, 2015. The models didn't really lock into the cold air being in place enough for the 3 feet we ended up getting area-wide until about Friday. Those Saturday runs were nuts, never been around a happier board.

psstt...read three posts above yours...in a post responding to you.

Really nice piece, Ian. Well done.

Remains a good read Ian.

Word, by my calculations, by 2017 we will be as hot as the surface of the sun around here.

Coastal, 1000 thanks. Much appreciated.

Wx, thanks, I thought I had seen them used interchangeably in discussions, but then when reading on them they appeared to be different. That helps.

I have done that reading. It is not getting it for me. I apologize for being so goddamn stupid. My bad for ducking into this thread.
