Kind of like the cities in Dec lol

Yup. I imagine most of us S&E of 95 who got nil in Dec would agree. I'm good with anything other than 38 degree rain.

This. My wife does not understand why elevation is so important to me. She's more into square footage, age, schools and other unimportant things.

So... the north trend that has effed us all year will work in our favor to give us the goods on the 29th and not bury NC, right? That won't like be the one storm all year that doesn't trend north... right? Who am I kidding... we're going to end up with a DC-Balt snow hole of biblical proportions. I can't wait to see how hilarious the seasonal snowfall map looks late next week. This is legitimately cruel if it verifies.

As happy as I am that it improved that much, it's pretty frustrating to see even an ensemble change that drastically in one run. An op I understand but come on

What was it someone said a while back? This is a 'close the blinds' pattern until the 21st? Probably sound advice and a good idea for those of us burned out. Take a break and check for something trackable in a week.

HH GFS looks really similar to 12Z Euro thru 12z Tues and then they diverge. Euro brings the wave east while GFS just parks it in the SW for an eternity for some reason.

The member view is getting much 'bluer' with each run... several nice hits in there now:

Fixed. Seems like not only is that discrete threat dead, but the whole 'great pattern incoming' idea is taking its final breaths

I think you took the snow with you when you left, Jeb

Ok I gotta ask... Hope this isn't rude but there are several folks here who often contribute in very meaningful ways who aren't met tagged. Thinking folks like psu, ralph, cape, isotherm, randy, etc as well as those no longer around like Mitch and Bob. Are you folks all pure hobbyists who have just been at it a long time or do any of you have formal met education? Been around this community a long time (since EUSWX days) and usually keep my uninformed trap shut, but aside from red tags I've learned an insane amount about weather from you guys. Anyways just wanted to say thanks and wanted to know where you all have picked up what you know whether formal education or otherwise. Cheers.

At least we still have February! Our prime snow climo month! Right? ...

So... we're no longer in an Ice Age?

interesting that we're able to see with near perfect clarity the storms we definitely won't get from 20 days out...

As someone whose work laptop blocks twitter, I appreciate it

Not sure if anyone in here has seen The Money Pit (80s comedy with Tom Hanks & Shelly Long), but there's a running joke in that movie that the construction on their house will be done in "2 weeks" and by the end of the movie the contractors are mocking the homeowners after weeks and weeks of suffering telling them it'll be done in "2 weeks". It became a running joke with my movie-quote-loving family growing up that anything that was going to either take forever or never happen would be done in "2 weeks"... thats what I chuckle to myself every time the prognosticators tell us that the greatest, most amazing pattern ever is coming. Its permanently 2 weeks away. Then its spring.

That one should have been the free space...

I for one can't wait to see the NOHRSC Seasonal Snowfall map after two southern sliders... the DC-Balt-I95 snowhole is going to be in full bloom. Here's where we stand right now: ... and here's the GFS thru 300: ... put them together, and...

Agreed. One hopes they just got tired of the chase with no reward and decided to take a break.

We do this in the MIDATL... What's everyone drinking/munching on while binge watching TWC and refreshing sat shots? For me it's Paulaner Oktoberfest and peanut butter filled pretzel bites

Unfortunately, cloud storage ain't free... but this site is.

Man this blows... I'm supposed to take the family to Ocean City, MD next week and now i just don't know what to do... early week looks fine but after that it could be nothing, a breezy day or a hurricane sliding up the coast.

Do the tropical threads ever get the 'storm mode' treatment we get in the MIDATL forum? If not, it needs it...

As much as I'd like to vote for '83 since I supposedly began life during that storm (Born in Nov '83 )... Its hard to say between '96 and Snowmageddon 1... '96 was absolutely epic where I lived at the time in western HoCo right on Parr's Ridge... I think we measured around 32", but it was hard because the drifts were everywhere. There were several 5-6' drifts in my front yard. I LOVED Snowmageddon 1 because it dropped an obscene amount of snow, but also because it was an MA Special... SNE and NE were completely left out
