    I'm glad I'm not the only one. The waiting between runs is ridiculous. We are a strange bunch. I talk about this stuff at work and people look at me like I'm crazy. They just want to know if we will have a snow day or not.

    I second that. It’s the only way.

    I hope people (OPM and businesses) have since learned, or remote work options will make people stay home. I recall that day vividly because I was telling everyone I knew to be home no later than 4 pm because it was going to be a sudden changeover. Some were complaining because Fairfax County stayed home all day (I think we had a bit of snow in the morning). I was actually rather shocked that they made that decision, but I was really glad to not be in the mess. CWG did an awesome job of trying to warn people of the changeover. I think we all learned about graupel that day. It was a really cool changeover to watch (unless you were watching from the roads).

    Snowmageddon memories from 14 years ago are popping up. Hopefully modeling will start coming through soon to keep hopes high around here.

    Thank you. That's what I was trying to understand.

    This is an Ensemble Mean for 7 days. That’s some good consensus. But it is the control, so what does that mean? Is the GEFS similar for the time period?

    PDIII…

    Patience… it’s coming. Where’s the faith in Chuck?

    That PD 2 in ‘03 was not forecast to be much if I remember correctly. It way over performed in my area, at least. We ended off school for the week. That was good, because I was pregnant and down with a wicked sinus infection.

    Everyone talks about late March 1993 around here. I guess that one wasn't over 20" in Baltimore, so it doesn't count. I was living in Louisville that year, so I don't know how much we had around here.

    We all knew that we would have to go through a pattern change, and 48 hours ago, people were thrilled about the upcoming period after Feb 10th. Now it's like the panic room in here because we are possibly "losing" the 4th/5th. We all know that we basically have to luck into any major storms in the MA. And currently the 4th/5th is trending more north. So, there is no reason to shut the blinds. Mid-Feb to mid-March is our opportunity.

    For probably half the people around here, the tracking part is at least 50% of the fun. Close to 100% for Ji. So the fun should begin even sooner.

    You mean the Comeback thread?

    If I remember that one correctly, Carolina, Central VA, and the beaches were crushed. Even southern MD got snow. Fairfax County was the line and we had pretty much nothing.

    Feb 2015 was fun. Lots of over performers in a short time.

    That explains DT's Pamela Anderson pattern. LOL

    We could probably change the title of the thread to "Balls that Lucy kicked in the final seconds", or "Sad Storms that said Goodbye". I'm home with COVID so there is nothing for me to do but track a .00001 chance of a snowflake. Or do my taxes.

    Is this March 2001?
  19. snowmagnet
    That's absolutely true. Boxing Day was forecast for a big storm for the rest of us and it shifted last minute, so those of us to the west literally had nothing. I'm from Southern MD and for a couple of years around 2017-2019, Southern MD and the coastal areas had more in one storm than we had in the entire winter. It's rare to have a forum wide event. Let's hope for one this year!

    Can we just stage a Boxing Day-like coup? Bring this one south.
  21. snowmagnet
    Yeah, Georgia. South and east, I guess. I remember some friends from Atlanta visiting up here that weekend. They missed out on a rare December snow and I was so depressed at missing that one.

    Why are some people calling for a torch in mid February? I followed the link to BAM weather. I clearly don't follow them. It sort of feels like a good analogy of our political climate. Someone says wintry, the other says torch.
  23. snowmagnet
    Is March 2001 the one that NY stole from us in the last few seconds of the game?
  24. snowmagnet
    Depends on where. 1st week of March 1999 we had over 10 “ in Fairfax.

    How far south is Happy Hour GFS?
