Everything correlates to a warm [insert winter month here] anymore in these parts.

IMO, 93L needs to be at least a PTC. Several ASCAT passes show it's healthy, has a tightening circulation and isn't getting disrupted by anything (shear, etc.).

DC gained it (mostly) recently: https://wamu.org/story/16/03/25/dc_now_has_budget_autonomy_but_what_does_that_actually_mean/

States, counties and cities with rainy day funds will emerge with the least impact on tax burden on residents and businesses. DC is a prime example of this since they don't have full budget autonomy and get impacted pretty heavily during partial Fed shutdowns.

We're the Mid Atlantic, that's what went wrong.

This is a phenomenal write up, and it's obvious you went through a lot to collate the information, thank you. I have two follow up questions for BWI. 1.) Would it be possible to re-run the data for 10 inch or greater events? 2.) Would it be possible to re-run the data for days when the high temperatures was at or below 32 degrees at BWI? I'm curious to see if there is any strong correlation for cold weather.

So many great stories ITT...absolutely love it. Helps us get through these dark times.

Agreed. I started in meteorology but transferred to Geography and then went through the MS, Emergency Management program at Millersville. It's lead to a decent career. Big message is that you have to be comfortable with moving a fair distance for your first job. You might have to move cross country for a 'meh' position to put your time in. If you're going to stick with meteorology that's great...seriously the field isn't all doom and gloom like some make it out to be. You just have to find what keeps your interest going and push through hard. Take internships, do research and don't forget about working started help desk positions for things like Raytheon (they make AWIPS) or Michael Baker. My RA in college started in the private sector and it boosted his career quickly once he got into NWS.

How do you place the soap? In a pantry hose or something?

Heh, that western band is literally hugging I-91 for all it's worth.

Man this is a beautiful event to witness, too bad it's not hitting DC -> BOS. Congrats all.

So question for the group...any ideas why BOX hasn't extended the Blizzard Warning further west into RI? Providence and Newport are certainly meeting the criteria. I know it's for 3 consecutive hours, but conditions appear to be only worsening through midday.

True dat

When, if ever, do you think we will have an ice free summer in the arctic?

That was an epic few days with you, me and Anthony looking at the SREFs and ensembles.

This is quite impressive. A cool summer that has owned my garden from start to finish.
