Fairfax announced this fall that they won’t do virtual on snow days this year. Not sure about other districts. 

Yeah.  We have about 14 days built in based on counting hours. 

My daughter is driving back to UMW in Fredericksburg today around noon. I’m hoping that is the best time for the least snow. 

I already have more than all of last winter.  Looking forward to an El Niño winter! 

If this is over performing in TN, is that a good indicator that we could do the same? 

Has the NWS expected snowfall map changed since yesterday afternoon?  I can’t find it. It’s been 2 years since there has been any actual expected snowfall!  

I’ve got an inch on my deck in Fairfax/Herndon. It’s not snowing currently.

Relax and enjoy it- let’s hope for an overperformer.  Hopefully Friday will come back around like this one has.

JB going blizzard this weekend.....something about kennedy inaugural storm?

My mom attended Kennedy’s inauguration in the snow.  I don’t think it was a blizzard or she wouldn’t have been there.

We never do well when NWS goes bullish. Best to see WWAs and over perform than WSWs and shit the blinds.

That’s been my worry too. They used to go all conservative and then have to up their totals.

Yeah, LWX is going aggressive. I guess they like longer duration storms. 

CWG is the opposite.  1-2" of light snow with little impact?

Per NAM, starts at like 4pm tomm and wraps up around  5pm Tuesday

Thank you. That will work. 

Wait- so snow is starting tomorrow rather than Monday night?  But more Monday night?  I would like to request  24 hours.  Monday night to Tuesday night works. Can we just get 1 SNOW day??  It’s been 2 years. 
 

thanks,

Is the pattern still looking good into the long-range?  Or did we lose that as well.

That is a great summary of a confusing situation. 

 

Deep down, everyone knows which one is right.

I really don’t think the Euro has done as well as it used to. I could be wrong, but I don’t believe it has been upgraded for quite a while.

This isn't the first time that Euro was out on its own too far SE and then corrected in 2 runs. Let's hope this precedent continues here.

That’s what I keep saying to people. It’s classic mid-range Euro confusion. Happened in 13-15 a lot. 

I’m just catching up on posts since 9 pm and wonder when some of you sleep. 
Just based on following the models and learning from experts on this forum and SM for over 10 years, I’ve noticed that the Euro often has had a habit of sniffing out storms early, losing them in the mid-range, and then coming back.  I remember this quite a bit in 2013-2015.  I am feeling good about actually getting snow on Tuesday.

Jan 2016 woah

Top Analog is Feb 2010.  That works for me.  

Happy Happy Hour!  Looking forward to a snowier 2024.  It looks like we are off to a good start.  I sure have missed this.  

I came on here expecting some Euro info, but forgot that DST pushes everything later. 

How bad is this wind going to get? I saw that they have issued an advisory starting tomorrow.

I get that that it is the Icon, but I'll bet final solution is not far off. 

That was over us last week.

im buying the dusting its giving me. the euro gives me more

I want to buy wave 2. 

There is a lot of positivity here. It’s good to see HH actually “happy” for a change! 

I will take the second storm that is during the week.  Tired of these weekend rainstorms. And teachers desperately need a snow day.
