Yep, 46 here. Wonder if the cloud cover was going to prevent us from that upper 20's forecasted low tonight.

Yeah, it's tough to be in the other thread with all the champagne corks popping. Hoping for a shift so we can all cash in. I will take a 6-8" with sleet and call it a season. Don't want that little bit of snow with all the rain puddles where you can't do anything with it except get soaked.

Okay, now I guess we are on pins and needles until 1:00. If Euro steps toward GFS and Icon, I will lose my giddiness and actually get back to work.

I am a bit antsy now about Sunday/Monday given the discussion in the other thread. Seems like temps will most certainly be an issue for us as depicted now and as we know through history. I just hate the angst of sitting through rain and waiting for a changeover. Remember a storm, think March of 2009, where it rained most of the day Sunday and transitioned and we got 11" so know it happens but just have snow starved lately, don't want to see 3" of slop while to the north they get 2'.

My favorite winter weekend of all time. Stayed up with TWC all night. Drank Coronas and ate chocolate chip cookies. Airport here at RIC said we got like 11", I measured 21" at my apartment. Ah, memories.

Usually NBC12 sounds the alarm with their First Alert Weather Day the first sign of an impactful Euro Run, was surprised Duncan mentioned, and I am paraphrasing, more rain than anything else with the Sunday/Monday threat.

Just missing your old avatar...I miss the weather weenie superhero. My mistake, that might be DD Weatherman or something of that ilk.

Well, to his defense, your profile does have KRIC.

Well, they certainly must not like frustration, depression or tears because we have that in spades.

Yeah, they are lining up at the cliff in that thread. Hoping for WSW criteria snow. Guess we will have to see the impact of tomorrow's system and where the models go from there.

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.
