It will be ironic if the Canadian and EURO go south at 12Z...

I mean there is a difference between getting 8” and being upset someone else got 12” and getting 3” when others got 8-12”.  I’m fine with not being the jack so long as I get into the “meat” of the storm and not another fringe 

I think people are COMPLETELY missing that point - thanks for making it again.  It's not being out of the jack, it is missing the good stuff entirely.  24 hours of snow that accumulates 3 inches kinda stuff. That has been that way for years and years for many of us up this way.

I am not really getting involved in the 20th until Monday at the earliest.  I mean missing to the East, would sum up my winter of getting missed by every direction.

Oh, I think we can book that from here...

Hi Everyone!  Longtime reader here for many years, and have been following the models for this storm.  I have seen a couple of people note timing for next week's storm.  I have a critical appointment next wed afternoon and am hoping someone may be able to provide some insight into a likely start time (I know we are still aways away) so I can plan accordingly.  Thank you for all of the great posts- always an interesting read.  Cheers!

Welcome - genuinely too early to guess at that. Might not even be a storm to time out.

Pann also infamously went too low in Snowmageddon part 1, though not nearly as bad as 2016.

He got off for years on being contrarian - he would literally forecast the opposite of the modeling.  When modeling showed a no snow or small snow event, he would grab the outlier snowiest model and push that. And, yes, he totally underforecast a few of the biggest area storms, again, I think because it was his shtik.

No way. Tony pann calls for snow during the summer.

He was in a full blown contrarian phase. It was bizarre. Then I no longer had to read his shit because I got the block hammer...

He was doubling down on 3-6 for balt city in real time on twitter even as it was already vomiting snow - I wore him out for a bit on that and then he sent me to the shadow zone…

No regrets!

I’m now getting to the stage where I’ll do 5-2” shovel jobs instead of one shovel after it’s done to not destroy my janky back. 

That too. 100%.

Why shovel before rain? Not judging just curious.

In my case - cheap “old man” (mid-50s) cardio.

Check yo Bluesky for a pic. I would have been happy with 4”. I told friends and neighbors 5” was likely with max of 6-7”. I wasn’t that far off. I wish yall had better snows. Hopefully the next ones will do better there 

Just saw it on the Sky - yep - gorgeous . So fun. 

lol - here to help ! (Catastrophic development for @Fozz though…)

Total snow: 8.1”

was 6.1 at 10pm and looks like another 2” fell overnight. 

street plowed 2 times but it’s a mess. 

Woo! That’s a really great snowfall Andy - congrats - has to be gorgeous to wake up to. Enjoy!

@mappy

2.3”

Consistent across the screw zone - 

2.3 for your area , I am at 2.5 and t.august over in Havre is at 2.7.

modeling has been pretty great at sussing out the wall on these events in our area for a few years now…

it is pretty to wake up to in any event. Happy Wednesday to you!

I have a question. What is the deal about Short Pump? I hear it on here on the time, but then my daughter just went to the Short Pump mall last night! She's at school in Fredericksburg. 

 

Inside joke among longtimers - every so often a winter weather poster wanders into the site and only posts extreme IMBY questions and obs - the memorable ones to my aging memory in the last decade are the Short Pump person, Carbondale (who wasn’t even from our posting forum) , the “NE MD pummeled” poster (who is still around but karma has been making those obs irrelevant for six years now), and Ji.*

I’m only a few inches from climo imby and we may have another shot by next weekend. This winter has exceeded many expectations.

That’s true (but last sentence varies wildly by location lol)

8.2” here inf Fredericksburg.  Not bad. I expected 5” and happy for the extra. 

That’s a wonderful snow event - happy for your area, enjoy.

Just now, snowfan said:

Measured 5” on the mark. That makes for the second snowfall this season of 5” or more. Not bad for AA Co. Still need a few more inches to hit climo on the season. 

That’s excellent - and I really think you get there by mid-week next week.
