well thats a nice round number?

also lower elevation and higher humidity and urbanization all means snowpack goes bye bye quickly

30 inches though dude and memories for a life time.

Good so that means a snowy March

I want it to hit 100 every day in July because he only likes boring nonextreme weather and hates heat as much as he hates snow.

I have bad memories of back then, I used to walk 2 miles to school and I was in 5th grade and the sidewalks were icy as hell.

Yeah I just mentioned two right off the top of my head....March 2001 and January 2008. And January 2015 too. So that's 3 right there.

lol maybe we could save ourselves some tax payer money by cutting down on these inaccurate models.

But then we have great performances that stand out like February 1978 which was predicted from a week out. January 1996 you already mentioned....wasn't March 1993 another one? and PD2? The Euro has perceptibly gotten worse over the last few years, why can't we roll back the changes to what it was previously? The other storms I can remember that the models did awfully with was March 2001 and January 2008 (our last Heavy Snow Warning.) Looks like there was another bust today lol.

why have the models become less accurate than they were 10 and even 25 years ago? what was different about the mid 90s to the mid 10s?

1-2 sounds like a safe bet, 3 inches for those who are extremely lucky

we've gotten several snowstorms in the first 10 days of April

45 isn't torch for February....60 would be.

actually this pattern was rather common in the 80s.

yup and we dont even have a double digit snowfall total lol

No one anywhere is getting 6 inches from this storm....take these snowfall numbers and cut them in half across the board.

How is it going to be 5 inches down south of here where it was even warmer today? No one anywhere gets more than 3 inches from this storm.

Maybe we'll get a March 1960 event later in the season

How is the Blend for DC 2.2" while the Actual is 12.1"? Is that a typo?

so were Strong La Ninas lol

I was shocked we had 4 KU events in 2017-18 lol. Are we including the early April 2018 storm as one of them? That was one of my favorite snowstorms that season.

Yep, I understand the frustration, ACY getting 12 inches was pretty irritating to watch for me too- it brought back memories of Feb 1989 when I took off from school for a snowstorm that never came, 6-8 inches that was all virga, They never changed the predictions either, I listened to Craig Allen talk about the same prediction that never came to fruition. And this blown forecast was repeated in December 1989, a cold and dry month, during which the one chance we had at a snowstorm (also a 6-8 prediction), turned to rain within a few minutes because of a secondary that formed too close to the coast. Thunder and lightning....and rain.

Thanks Walt. Might need to adjust the definition of Arctic fronts since getting to 0 seems to be a once every 2 decade event now.

Didn't we have two back to back 4-5 inch snowfalls that month a few days apart?

What's the definition of KU? I figured it was that you needed 10 inches of snow in at least one of the major cities?
