    Our storm tomorrow was there for at least a week or more. And there was something popping up around Feb 26-28th last week if I remember correctly.

    I remember the RGEM trying to give us snow the past few years when we have been on the edge- either north or south. A couple of storms were just north or south and the RGEM would give us hope.... but no snow.

    I hope this is true, but we have had several snow to sleet to rain events since 2016 that have busted badly IMBY. However, so far this year we have generally over performed, so that’s on the plus side.

    Where are you located? I’m in Fairfax and I feel like we have a goood chance of at least 3-5” before sleet takes over. While I love a coastal more than anything, this has been a good storm to track and anything can happen. I’m mentally prepared for just couple of inches before a changeover. Looking forward to a snow day regardless.

    I have to laugh about DT and his update. Since he canceled winter for the east coast earlier in the week, he has been hesitant to talk about this event other than it wouldn’t be a big deal. Now, he finally says that the newest short term models indicate that the cold air IS going to last after the precipitation gets started. As if the models have not been showing this for a week. Lol

    I thought the Euro showed it as well.

    That’s pretty consistent among the members. Wow.

    Did the Friday chance fizzle out?

    I looked it up on my FB page and we didn’t fare so well in Fairfax during that storm if it’s the Dec 9th storm. We had a Winter Storm Warning for 3-6” and it ended up being about 2” before changing to sleet and freezing rain.

    Day or night?

    Weather Channel App gives me 5-8” on Wednesday after 1” Tuesday night. Wish it was right.

    It’s amazing how we suddenly pay attention to the Icon since Stormtracker’s declaration. A week ago everyone would have said, “but it’s the Icon”. LOL Regardless, it’s great to see similarities with all the models at this point in the game. Anything can still happen at this point... as long as it doesn’t go South, literally.

    Thank you for that bit of explanation. Being next to the Atlantic often throws a wrench in forecasts around here.

    VDOT brined the roads in Fairfax Co last Thursday for our weekend storm that went south.

    Fairfax County brined 2 days ago!

    He’s probably just enjoying his 65 degrees while he can. He will be back.
  17. snowmagnet
    Nope. He is talking about our area too. It’s kind of weird. With the Euro as depicted this afternoon, I would think he would be woofing. I guess he’s assuming it will turn to rain. Maybe it’s that he has canceled winter again. So maybe that’s good for us.
  18. snowmagnet
    I think the Sunday event has been canceled.
  19. snowmagnet
    I think that will be everyone’s Winter Forecast for 2019-2020.
  20. snowmagnet
    Next!
  21. snowmagnet
    Hmm. I feel like I’ve heard this before... lol
  22. snowmagnet
    That’s pretty consistent on the Euro for Saturday. How does it compare to the other models?
  23. snowmagnet
    I was thinking the same thing. It’s seemed like when he jumped on the bandwagon, everything went badly.

    I've learned a great deal from being on this forum since 2016. I tend to try to stay optimistic and know that we win some and we lose some, but the tracking is the most enjoyable part of winter. Snow maps are just fantasy until there is measurable snow on the ground.
  25. snowmagnet
    It's all relative. We can go all month (or all winter) with no more than an inch of snow and then we see a snow map with 20". So when it puts out a reasonable 3-6", we all freak that winter is canceled. We all could use a dose of Lithium during the winter. Except you, of course. Always chill.
