    Lot of ice solutions in there...

    Sometimes, a broken model is right twice a day!

    Your plea for such sanity and optimism won't work here. It almost never does. Historically, we just don't do positive vibes for such rare sparks of reason. I mean, you could go back to several years ago, but the setup for that run of sanity was not the same as this one. Now, it's all despair and we don't fare well with those setups! I'll see myself out into the street now!

    LOL! So on Groundhog's Day no less! I suppose they'll keep picking a team name again and again until they get the right one??
  6. Scarlet Pimpernel
    Really? So WFT is actually to decide on a name? Yeah, I kinda think it would be funny to stick with the WTFs!!

    Sounds like the Browns, to be honest! Good talent, lots of potential. But terrible management, and what should be a better team ends up somewhat less than mediocre.

    Yeah, it was commissioned by George III as a last ditch effort to lure colonial snow weenies back to the British side. Unfortunately for him, it didn't work.

    That's cool!! I actually didn't get a chance to look at that so closely. But very interesting, how he found Napoleon a hero for the common man but then realized he was just a dictator wannabe hell-bent on conquest.

    Well, tracking is rarely happy in this area, but...LOL!! That's not entirely fair, of course. Good that you know a lot of names on here.

    The GFS has never really been "big" on that for late this upcoming week. It got close to something a few times, but that's about it. And really nothing like what a couple of recent runs of the Euro or UKMet showed. Beyond this Friday, yeah, we'll see...

    Hello and welcome to the mid-Atlantic Forum. Where the snow weenies are nuts and the storms are getting nervous! We're all crazy here, but since you're joining in, then what does that say?...well, I'll just leave it at that LOL! Seriously though, it's a good group in here, and hope you have fun!

    Nice! I haven't heard that overture either. Next time I see something at the Kennedy Center, I'll have to keep that in mind about the orchestra pit. Last time I was there was to see Phantom of the Opera a few years back. And my daughter in a performance of Washington Ballet's "Alice in Wonderland" years ago when she was younger. She was a student in the ballet school, and they had several students perform in that (same thing with Nutcracker every year, but that's performed at the Warner).
  14. Scarlet Pimpernel
    No, haven't seen that! Cool! Ludwig van's signature.
  15. Scarlet Pimpernel
    Hey Randy...how was the concert?
  16. Scarlet Pimpernel
    Yeah I was looking at that. Talk about a glacier! There was a run or maybe 2 of the GFS that hinted at an icing event with this.
  17. Scarlet Pimpernel
    Well this has shown some interesting developments in the past couple of days. I'm getting slightly more than mildly interested...hmmm. @Bob Chill and @stormtracker, is this the same system that last week was an all-out cutter, pretty much? I seem to recall that, and then it started getting pushed more south.
  18. Scarlet Pimpernel
    Same here in the southern part of MoCo!! Big flakes floating down!
  19. Scarlet Pimpernel
    Yay! Light snow coming down at a halfway decent clip right now. Good-sized flakes.
  20. Scarlet Pimpernel
    Yeah saw a hint of that on the GFS when I looked more closely. It definitely appears as several waves traveling up the Arctic front as PSU pointed out. Might be interesting to keep an eye on.
  21. Scarlet Pimpernel
    Very pretty!!!
  22. Scarlet Pimpernel
    Saw a few flakes falling, a couple of times, but nothing much. Clouds seem thicker now, though that has gone back and forth with it brightening up some earlier.
  23. Scarlet Pimpernel
    Hail???
  24. Scarlet Pimpernel
    Acting like such fragile snowflakes!! I swear! Saw a few flakes here a short while ago but nothing now.

    I recall you mentioning this last year...or at least referencing last winter. That the "bad years" at least in the metro areas seem to be "worse" than previously. I have only been here since 2001, but I think I've even noticed that in my time here. I know that's anecdotal, but still. You also made a comment that last year, you got ~50" while DCA/BWI were single-digit amounts (where I'm at, also single digits but a bit more than DCA). And how that is highly unusual for DCA to be THAT awful when you get that amount. I think you were spot-on with your assessment that there were some marginal events that year and the DC area just missed and didn't do well, while in other past years they would have fared better. Yeah, part of that was the December Pac puke before there was any decent cold air source. But that affects everyone. We had some "perfect track rainstorms" here that not far away gave decent snow. Of course, we know what the "elephant in the room" is concerning that.
