Astronomically slim chance for the 25th, warm up in the first few days of March, possible window between 3/4 and 3/11 but it’s too early to tell.

Maybe the models will fail in the opposite direction with the 25th as bad as they have with Wednesday.

Wait, y’all have electricity on the eastern shore?

I think at a high level we just have to know our backyard's climo. Everything is relative to that. It does explain why someone whos just around or north of Baltimore like a few folks here have been in an extended rut while south, east, and northwest of them has done a fair bit better. The 6" snowstorm drought for some in here is very extensive, while your area has 2 of those this season. It being an anomalous set of outcomes in the bigger picture makes recency theory rear its ugly head. 

Well said!

I only said what I said because that guys post was kinda ridiculous and hostile right off the bat.  You probably could have made the point in a better way and I wouldn't have been that way.  

I probably feel a little overprotective of the group of posters that live on the Delmarva. Certainly not my place to be their defender but I guess I tried to be anyway. Just reminds me of when I was a kid on these forums back in the days of wright weather, and Eastern, when I would be told to shut up and enjoy my rain. So maybe it was a little triggered

I think the point that should be made is that we'd still root for you even if the storm wasn't for us. It's more the people who talk shit on the others when the storm hasn't even happened yet (that guy in richmond is a fine example), meanwhile the north/west crew doesn't usually do that in the inverse. You guys have had some really nice events out there this year and in some other years as well. Relative to climo in the last several years, I'd say you've done better than CMD. 

I hope that's the case because I've seen a lot of people on here. Pretty much say exactly the opposite that they would root against us. I know my climo. I know that most of the storms I'm going to get an inch of slop and then 40° rain if I even get the inch of slop to begin with. Wow! You guys are posting ob's thread posts with 28° and ripping fatties. But I don't wish you ill will because of it. Weather is going to weather. That being said, thank you for saying that you would root for the other areas.

@AlexD1990 my non Ass response... the mid atlantic forum is too freaking large geographically.  Look at the other forums, NYC metro and Philly have their own... there is one just for PA but its really become central and western PA and the southern part is in ours and the eastern is in Philly.  

The geographic area "mid atlantic" is too big to have a producting regional discussion about the weather.  There is almost no chance, for example, a snowstorm that crushes the southeast parts of the "Mid atlantic" even gives me flurries up here on the northern edge of the mid atlantic.  And frankly I am NOT even the northern edge of the actual mid atlantic as most definitions of that include PA.  But I am the northern edge of this forums arbitrary geography.  The point is the weather differences between Hagerstown MD and Va Beach are way too ridiculous to be in the same thread.  They are screaming YES this is awesome for the same run that makes us want to dive off a cliff.  And you can't pretend this is 100% science and not emotional.  Frankly this thread even restricted to the DC centric area is still difficult as MOST storms wont affect us all equally...my biggest snow this year skunked most of this thread and their two biggest snows fringed me.  But at least the storms affect us.  Some systems that affect parts of the larger regions dont affect us at all.  

So we have to have sub regional threads within this way too large geographic sub forum imo.  And telling the people how to feel and post is kinda silly.  That is NEVER going to work.  THink about that.  

I'm not trying to tell anyone how to post. I guess I'm just lashing out in frustration too because the elitism tends to rub me the wrong way. I try to overlook it a lot, but the fact that I'm about to get fringed from this damn thing too is probably making me more irksome than I would normally be. Thanks for the well thought out post, I agree with everything you said.

Just now, SOMDweather said:

Totally agree, that's why this sub was created years ago.  

Technically this is a thread. However, if we actually had our own subform it would probably be one thread long so

All good. I get your POV. The main storm threads do focus on the main I-95 corridor while not focusing a ton on those who live at the outer edges of the subforum. Most who post live in the main central part of the subforum, so it’s to be expected. But it also means when it fails for 90% of the forum, the discussion is gonna tank and I can understanding the frustration when that happens. 

Thank you! I would love nothing more than for the models to just do a complete reverse right now and just give the whole forum the shellacking they were showing on Friday. It would do wonders for the morale in here. Power of positive thinking I suppose....

Just now, mappy said:

They deleted their post. We should just move on. 

I'm stopping. Apologies.

Just now, Darkstorm said:

To be fair that person came off as pretentious and didn't exactly walk into community nicely. You wouldn't walk into a bar acting that way. Regardless I am just enjoying the failure at this point 

Oh I'll agree. The original guy was definitely being an ass. But the assumption that everyone in this part of the sub acts that way is well offensive.

Just now, psuhoffman said:

yes, but do we really need to have a semantics discussion now because I misspoke? 

I think everyone needs to take a break for right now and just remember that weather's going to weather no matter what we want it to do. So I'm going to stop and be the bigger person.

The lack of self awareness is really something to behold.

I'm not getting any either. 

1 minute ago, psuhoffman said:

Paragraph please 

Must really suck to not get any snow. And I'm saying that because I'm not getting any either but I'm not going around going out of my way to be an ass to people about it 

Edit: You're better than this. Why be like this? I actually really enjoy your posts most of the time, but today you're acting like well. Political figures were not allowed to talk about on here.

Just now, nj2va said:

I honestly find the regional hate around here, especially during snow events, to be so absurd.  RIC vs M/D line…eastern shore vs metro areas.  Some people here are straight up children and the worst comes out in forum dividers.  It’s only snow, life will go on.

Couldn't agree more. The asinine behavior being shown by people that I know for a fact are highly intelligent. Mature individuals is saddening.

Just now, osfan24 said:

It does.

So very mature of you. Maybe this is why you're not getting any snow because like I've said for the past 3 days, karma is always watching.

Just now, psuhoffman said:

I am an ass!  

But... they have forums to go into that are discussing this storm the way they want... you know because you are in them having that discussion.   One is below.  Going into another forum and telling THEM how THEY should be talking about stuff is...well, I'm not gonna take that ish seriously sorry.  

 

You do understand there's a difference between form and thread, right?

We need our own sub, they're showing their asses in the main thread yet again. It's not the Stone age this side of the Bay bridge..

1 minute ago, psuhoffman said:

Explain it in a paragraph please 

What did I just say? Whether you like it or not, we are a part of this subform it even says it in the title of the subform. Sorry that offends you...

1 minute ago, Solution Man said:

This is how we roll here, sorry 

You would still do well to recognize that we are part of the sub forum. If you don't like it, maybe we should be split off.

There’s a southern MD sub forum, which may be better for you. 

I'm not sure what he's even talking about because I'm also in Southern Delaware and I'm certainly not expecting seven at this point.

Did you say something?  

Don't be an ass.

To be fair, we do have our own thread because let's be honest, everyone in this thread likes to pretend that civilization ends at the Bay bridge.

No when things are bad I’m not a blow smoke up your ass rainbows and sunshine kinda person.  When my team loses in the playoffs I don’t say “there’s always next year”. “Ya and the odds of us winning are no better, actually they’re worse we could suffer injuries and not even make the playoffs”.  And I’m not that way with snow. You have no idea when the next opportunity with this good a setup comes along. We don’t know yet if the PDO is actually flipping. We might not get another shot like this for 5 years. Next year we could get another 2020 Or 2023 type winter!  DCA only beats climo 1-2 times a decade. What if this was that good winter and we just got unlucky and missed our chance and now we have 6 more awful dreg years to suffer through before we get another!  
 

Im not who you come to for comfort if you need to see the bright side. Im a dose of reality good or bad. When it’s bad I dive into that lake of misery and swim in it. I cleanse myself in the fire through pain and lowery. And I come out the other side hardened and ready to go to battle again and take on whatever shit tomorrow has to throw at me. 

It would be hilarious if just this once the models came back. Twisted, but hilarious. For everyone's mental health, I hope it happens. Good luck all

The new march 2001? At least it wasnt 12 hours before this time.

Ugh. What a disappointment to wake up to.
