  1. Also, this discussion is why I laugh over the “you don’t want to be in the bullseye ___ days out posts” -

    my experience is that the general area that starts to get bullseyes repeatedly early enough in a threat cycle has the best chance at legit warning level SN+ for a time verifying at some point. 
     

    bullseye my area on every run for every threat, please and thank you. Not been like that either for years and years up this way.  For all the shit that certain cranks on this board give to models in the long range, as someone who reads in those threads way more than posts, the models are pretty fucking great at highlighting early on the areas most likely to be snowiest in a given period. And they’ve been pretty great at showing this area on the edge over and over again from range.  This current storm threat they’ve been rock solid at that for at least a week.

    Yeah color me skeptical on the full totals comparison...sure on the single storm thing but it's colder up there and they can nickle and dime the heck out of a winter. Shoot even out west where i am hasn't been awesome for the most part. Anyway...hope everyone gets slammed soon. 

    I probably have nickel dimed to more than Fairfax a few times in the last seven years, but, for me, that is a full I don’t care. 17 one inch snows sucks compared to two 8 inch snows (for me anyway, others see that differently).

    i just want a legit snowstorm where my obs is ZOMGITSPOURINGSNOW - been a minute. 
     

    my obs for years have been (squints) - “I think something is falling the grill is starting to turn white”.

  3. But, speaking just for me, the frustration has been the years and years of no warning level snows. There is something awesome about SN+ falling over a period of hours and aldie, I promise you, we just can’t get that. Over and over again this area gets the post event analysis where a red tagger explains  how the snow growth our way was off, why we got needles for 24 hours while it poured legit snow 15 miles away, or how the dry air couldn’t be overcome, or etc etc etc

    this isn’t the first time, more like the tenth time. And the frustration is that folks write “it always comes north” and , friend, it does not. 
     

    i personally don’t give a shit who gets the most, I just want to once be in SN+ for three or four hours and hit half a foot.

    it has been a long time.

    Seen this movie too many times over the last 6-8 years for Baltimore. I know how it ends.

    I'm very aware of our climo and while I long for big storms, I fully appreciate how rare they are and how easy it is for us to go several years without anything really meaningful. But this is getting stupid. The entire state of VA, the beaches, and obv north and west of us have all jacked multiple times in recent years while we get the rug pulled again and again. I haven't whined about it once, but I'm reaching my breaking point, lol.

    Shit is turning me into the joker.

    It really seems like there's a contingent of folks here that, after witnessing Feb 2010 and Jan 2016 just expect that and are extremely difficult to please otherwise. 

    whelp, there's bunch of us across the northern tier that would be quite happy if we get to a six-inch warning level storm...let's verify one of those for Mappy to me - to interstate - to the bel air crew to t.august 

    But somehow these tend to go from pinks to struggling to get to four inches for our crew. Maybe this one will be different!

    Fun! I highly recommend the Cava that is right there. My new favorite lunch spot when I go to the office 

    absolutely! And the First Watch there for breakfast. It's a good spot, I am pleased to have that lease. Good transition to the next phase for me.

  7. I think I will join a weather forum and ten days in tell people who have been on the forum for decades and are in many cases pros not to be excited because model runs may change. 

    With my ground-breaking insight, I shall soon rule that forum.

    I wasn’t going to post it. Bit unfortunately of the reality ends up that, that’s what this type of pattern actually historically tends to produce. Our big snow patterns usually have a negative at h5 centered further south. 

    It may indeed be to our north, but that snow map in Ohio is fucking hilarious. No way, no how. Even in their best snow runs through the southwest and central parts of the state, half of that would be noteworthy.

    If you haven't shed a tear this year yet, let me help. That's pretty incredible even if it's wrong.

    fwiw, no fucking way southwest to central Ohio gets three feet of snow over that timeframe. Never happened there, not gonna happen now.

    That might be all we need to break the curse.

    I was in the Hampden/Roland Park area before Dec. 2021 so...the curse has really been with me since about a second after the snow ended in January 2016. I think 2019 was last warning level snow I saw in an area I was living - and that was in Balt City. Not since then.  I am like the guy from Thanks for all the Fish where the rain follows him around only it is my shielding snow wherever I am. Even when I chased a snowfall up to frickin' Thurmont in 2019 I drove the snow away. 12 inch forecast and they got 3 inches that day. Worst superpower ever.
