    Then I think it’s been over about 100 times this winter.

    Nice! Another post-60 degree storm?

    This is what we need in here. Thanks for the optimism!

    It has a better chance of getting worse than improving Where is the panic room when we need it for those of you who have empty glasses? There is plenty of time for positive trends this week.

    I grew up in St. Charles too - Garner Ave. I was a kid during PD 1, but I’m pretty sure that began my love of snow. I have definite memories of ‘79, ‘83, and the Veterans Day surprise of ‘87. I always loved when we got more snow than Fairfax (unusual, but it would happen as it has this year!) I’ve lived in Fairfax now for 26 years. I was pregnant with my daughter during PD 2. It was a welcome week off because I was pretty sick that week. 2009-2010 was definitely my favorite year for snow. I was tracking it and got to have a blast with my kids and my dog. I think my profile pic is from Snowmageddon.

    I was wondering about that special weather statement. Is the NAM freezing drizzle only for east of town?

    I love drastic temperature drops, especially during summer thunderstorms. My best memory of a drastic temperature drop is going in to a Caps game years ago in a very warm rainstorm and walking out of the game looking for our car in several inches of snow. The snow was not predicted as far as I know. I think it was probably around ‘97 or ‘98.

    I get the frustration, especially when the western zones should be getting more snow than those of us further east. Last year, those of us east of Loudoun had a terrible year, (but better than 2020), so this one has been fairly decent. It would be nice if all of us can get in on a storm. It’s been a while.

    This is really useful for those of us who have never read college meteorology books for fun. I knew that the PAC had been horrific for several years, but I thought we were supposed to get a favorable Atlantic at some point. Hoping for a random block. I appreciate the explanation of Feb 2010 -it was such an amazing month. My Facebook memories started popping up today. I didn’t remember that we got several inches a few days before the Feb 6th storm.

    Thank you. I never understand the pessimism by early February. We had quite a lot of it in here during January too. Some years we get our biggest snows in March.

    No. I don’t even listen to the TV Mets anymore. I just happened to hear it in the car on the radio and wondered where that came from!

    I kinda like this warmish afternoon. 46 in Fairfax. Not looking forward to warm rain turning to cold rain.

    I just heard on WTOP that Friday will feature rain changing to sleet and snow during the day. Did I miss something?

    I started a February long range thread. can someone pin it?
  15. snowmagnet
    I’ve never started a thread, but hopefully my name will bring us some luck. Phil said winter isn’t finished, so let’s keep Stormtracker busy with the pbp’s this month.

    I’ve never heard of this storm and I’m surprised my parents had never mentioned it. They were both living/working in DC at the time. How is this not in the top 10 storms of DC? I know the DC has a snow hole, but the cutoff couldn’t have been that different if people were experiencing this in Silver Spring!
  17. snowmagnet
    It’s February 2nd and Phil saw his shadow, so we have more winter to go. Can we start a new thread now? This one is 140 pages and January is over.
  18. snowmagnet
    Thanks for picking that up. I didn’t realize that was what it was showing. It does seem the Euro is trending more frozen.
  19. snowmagnet
    S Trending to the GFS?
  20. snowmagnet
    That works too, but we don’t usually get that lucky!
  21. snowmagnet
    I’m happy to accept a 33 degree rain on Friday if we can get the Coastal storm to end the weekend.
  22. snowmagnet
    This showed up last week on January 27th. I got a screen shot of it and sent it to my boss - a snowstorm would be her birthday gift. Hope the GFS has this one right.
  23. snowmagnet
    Love this!
  24. snowmagnet
    You should probably look at Jan ‘94. Not sure if that was a record amount, but the cold freeze afterwards was brutal and the ice stayed a long time.
  25. snowmagnet
    I saw that the NWS discussion now mentions the cold front and chance for a changeover Friday morning. It seems that they are hesitant to go there after the last anafrontal debacle. They also mentioned a coastal low possibility on Sunday…
