    I remember it well. I walked to a Subway and got a sandwich for dinner. I slipped crossing Viers Mill during rush hour and literally crawled across 2 lanes of traffic to the curb. Fractured my L2 vertebrae and spent the blizzard alternating between being doped up and drunk.

    Good lord!

    Euro is just a debacle for the RIC crew.  They get 1 - 3 inches? Tbh, I was actually pulling for them to salvage this one.

    They are too far north - the more deserving snow people are south of them.

    fuck this wind.

     

    Not just saying that because I still don't have power back up in Monkton, but also, that isn't helping. Just so shitty to completely have the snow chances gone and instead we get two days of howling damn wind.

    I am having thread withdrawal depression.  There is nothing worse than going back to the lingering FOLKS thread and kicking the ashes around the remnants of the basement dumpster fire.

    I really thought this would be the year to end the 9 year 6" drought in northern Baltimore.  To have it end this way is worse than the way the Ravens playoff run ended.      

            

    We are on a heater of NOT snowing well.

    two gummies in, sailing, and the lyrics from this Strings jaunt that just played seem on point for this forum/thread/storm threat...

    Well the night we met, I thought you were the one
    Yes and when you left, I nearly came undone
    There's a million miles to go, at the end I still won't know
    What I did to ever send you on the run
    Now the memories just keep flyin' round me now
    And I'm travelin' faster than the speed of sound
    It's the bigger I stand tall, then the harder I might fall
    On the day my vices lay me in the ground

    hmmm, not dismissing this...but for the kicker to have that kind of impact...doesn't it need to impact the H5 which drives the flow?  And in that case I should see other examples that looked like this and crushed just SE of us with snow but I don't.  But the upper low still tracks to our NW and is plenty to the NW of the surface low not pressing it east...it's just weird to me.  The weird part is to have a wave amplified enough to drop those kinds of snow totals down there...but not come north despite the flow being plenty relaxed enough and the confluence to be way up near Canada.  That's why you don't see examples of this...for a wave to get "kicked" in that kind of flow it would have to be pretty weak, and a weak wave isn't dropping 1-2 feet of snow anywhere.  A wave that is amplifying enough to put down that kind of snow wouldn't just turn east ahead of a cut off upper low back over Ohio and a SW to NE flow all the way to Maine with the 50/50 already to south of Greenland!  Make it make sense.  

    thanks.

    I know u didn't ask me, but it does get N and isn't suppressed. The problem is the kicker pushes it all too far east before it can begin the move to the N. At least that's the way I am seeing it. Up top looks fine....weakening block. 50/50 progressing along and confluence where we like it. I am convinced that vigorous kicker is the culprit. Without that kicker it comes N sooner. 

    Eta: kicker, not licker. Fixed typo stupid screen protector

    @psuhoffman thoughts on ralph's question? because i have the same one/observation on the potential issue.

    1/11/25 2"(snow on snow)(snow started just after midnight and ended up almost as much as Monday's disappointment - this one was way more fun to wake up to)

    1/16/25 - T

    1/19/25 - 2" (another winter storm warning bust - couldn't hold good banding or snow growth other than for about one hour) (still running on six years since a verified warning event for areas I have lived (north baltimore city and then monkton starting in 2022)

    2/11/25 - 2.5”

    2/15/25 - .3" (some sort of wintry mixish stuff)

    Season total  -  10.4”
