Yep, maybe I should have altered my previous statement about the Euro losing the storm to weakening and suppressing which leads to ultimately depressing. However, we have seen it come back before...I know it is inside 7 days but I will wait a few more runs before I throw in the towel. I knew it was bad news when I came back from riding the Peloton and only saw 22 replies in the DC thread after a Euro run.

Yeah, I think I am only comfortable when we are in the bullseye inside 72 hours. Even then, still antsy. At least there is something there. I have a feeling there will be a few toss runs where the Euro loses the storm and then it suddenly reappears but hoping that the inevitable jog north will not manifest itself this time.

Inside 7. But can't help and think we have been here before.

Ha! The 20" plus bullseye looks to be over DT's house in Chester. Yeah, history suggests this thing starts to shift north as we hear are more chattier DC folks state, "right where we want it" this far out.

Agree, would take that run in a heartbeat and call it. However, 7 days out and I hate anytime we are in the bullseye this far out. Guess we can play the "We're due" card.

In Spock voice "I must agree with the doctor's assessment"

Yeah, it's been like that even in Eastern days. However, it does grate my cheese when we are in the bullseye (not this little thing obviously) and Ji is all congrats Richmond, it shifts north, they get dumped on and if we complain, it's like move north but they constantly complain and then it's rinse and repeat. I am missing Bob Chill's posts though, I need to see where he landed or if he is taking a break. I was hoping DT would stick around longer but guess too many trolls don't know how to take him with a grain of salt. Fingers crossed for Friday.

Thanks for bumping. Don't want to get roasted in the model thread since we are not DC, NOVA or MD.

As well it should, might be in my top 5 suckiest.

Oh well, can't say much about this winter. I might as well go in the main thread and watch Ji have a meltdown as Norfolk finishes with more snow than he does.

Yeah, woke me up out of sound sleep for sure. Fingers crossed for prolonged cold and snow chances. I got a whole lot of firewood I have barely touched this season.

I will let RIC_Airport, our thread historian, weigh in as I am too lazy to google but I think in my 49 years, it's the first time snow has fallen on my birthday.

Love that area @Stormpc Sorry you missed out but living down there, I guess I would never consider it the screw zone Sorry to hear about the Cotton Gin fire, hope they rebuild. Fingers crossed for the coastal on Sunday.

I believe it, judging by the amount I had to dump out of my uncovered firepit (doh). Great crisp weather this morning. Down to 45 at my house.

Hoping for some breezy rain, it's been dry for a little bit in my neck of the woods.

Agree, once we hit the second week of March, I am ready for warmer temps. I have a feeling it will continue to be cold and wet until May and then straight into humidity hell. Hope I am wrong, give us an Ash Wednesday redux in March and then bring on spring a week later and some thunderstorms damn it and I will be a happy camper and think back on the winter fondly with bookend blockbusters.

Ugh, Dirty Slurpee, would be just the way to cap a season that once seemed to have such promise.

Eh, can't argue with them based on model output. Me thinks I got spoiled from the December blockbuster, now anything short of a warning criteria is just "meh" Timing will be tough for schools though, even though you get a switchover to rain, it likely doesn't clear everything up before your 2 hour delay option so I think Henrico and surrounding may have to make a call at 5AM tomorrow as not certain enough to make tonight although parents pressure about the 5AM wakeup from Jenks and blah, blah, blah, not enough time to plan may weigh in.

True. I am sure we can look back and probably correlate early snow for RIC is a bad sign for winter snow but it's probably so skewed because we have so many famine winters anyway. Fingers crossed but once it's March, I am sort of done and ready for spring. Easter is late this year so I am not going to turn down any snow but it's just not the same. Along the lines of spring, I am actually hoping we have a decent severe weather season as it has been a while since thunderstorms have been consistent in the spring to early summer.

We had our feast in December and it has been famine ever since. I would be happy with just one more warning criteria snow but time is running short and model inconsistency this winter has ebbed my hopes appropriately.

Never give up, never surrender! I can't let Ji have my snow! (stomps feet in tantrum)

Latest GFS has us in the jackpot zone. Still time to shift but a few more runs like that and I am hitting the ABC store to stock up for Sunday.

12/9 shifted in our favor late as I recall, don't like being in the bullseye this far out...we have seen this movie too many times before.

I thought 2" more would put us as the 2nd rainiest since records were kept, 1899 or 1897, one of those around that time, still too far out of reach.

It has been fun guys, hope the first of many. I measured 13" at Blueberry Hill Court, Forest at Patterson here in the 23229 at 8:10PM and then shoveled the walk. The airport reporting 11.5, it has to be the closest I have been with them on a major storm...since...well, ever!
