Itstrainingtime

Some models indicate warmer than that. 70s up into central MD.

I feel pretty good about the storm reaching us. I don't feel nearly as good about it being cold enough. The air mass leading in isn't our friend but there still is a path (narrow) to get at least some snow.

Forecast high for today was 38, at 10:50 in the morning it's 42.

Okay, if that's true, and I'll take your word for it, then please start at least sharing some positive things to balance your posts out. If anyone would look at your posting history in this thread, it is filled with these words/phrases: "Whiff" (a bunch) Wayyy south (a bunch) Rain (too many) Rainer (this is a new one today) Miss (far too often) That is almost literally your posting history here. How are we to accept you if this is all that you contribute?

I'm sure you would have done the same if he was predicting a blizzard, right? You clearly have one agenda here. We've been through this, yet you continue to only post negative stuff in this thread, the Philly thread, the MA thread... Many people, many long time posters have you on ignore. There's a reason for that.

I said last week that this coming weekend had my interest. Suppression just doesn't seem to fit the current regime. I'm much more concerned about over-amped than a whiff south.

By the way, thanks for taking my post yesterday and copy pasting it in other forums. Just when I think you can't get worse, you find new ways to do just that.

I don't think I've ever rooted harder for a storm to hit us.

Even if we don't see more snow this winter, I'm going to have a hard time grading this season below a B or B-. One more significant (6" or more)snowfall will move this winter to an A, especially given the forecasts going into it. Not sure if I'm thinking right grading it this high if we end up well below normal snowfall (which would be the case if we're done) but the past the past few weeks have been remarkable. Glad I returned from FL in time to enjoy it.

MU on the upcoming weekend: During the second half of the weekend, there has been more unwarranted "hype" in recent days regarding a potential winter storm. The odds of that actually happening are very low. Instead, a developing storm system over the southern Plains on Saturday will likely track due east through Sunday and exit into the Atlantic somewhere between South Carolina and northern Florida. Either way, that's too far south for any precipitation to reach northern MD or southern PA, and Sunday will likely just turn out partly-to-mostly cloudy and dry with highs in the 40s. Behind the system, early next week should turn out equally as nice with mostly sunny skies accompanying an even bigger moderating trend. Essentially, the weather is going to be a "snoozefest" for at least the next week, and our moderate-to-extreme drought conditions are only going to worsen.

Isn't sleet wonderful? I know it can be demoralizing when we change over, but my goodness it can do absolute wonders for a snowpack. Outside of February 2010, all of our long-lasting packs have had a lot of sleet/freezing rain embedded in it. 10" of snow with a ton of sleet will last so much longer than 24" of cold powder. We've reaped the benefit of those hours of sleet we had back on 1/25. Even with the cold temps we've had since, the ground would look far different today without that sleet.

32.0 currently at home. Seems clouds are helping mitigate much melting so far today despite the "warmer" temp.

It rained 6"+ of snow on my house, troll.

We got snow from them but it's an incredibly tenuous situation that has low probabilities. Definitely worth watching.

Someone please get this guy out of here.
