Agreed. At least to end the drought, you have to start somewhere. if frustrated, I recommend staying out of the “main” thread tomorrow as we navigate our slurpee roads on the way to work, it will kill you to read about them ripping fatties up there and still won’t be satisfied with 6-8”.

Book it! Snow breeds snow

Yeah, seems low, NBC12 went with AKQ 3-6”

Agree, get us 3-4” with a hard candy coating that will last…until Saturday when WE get thumped.

If I remember correctly, the mets in the main thread state it's wheelhouse is 36-48 hours. Believe they just stated how precip happy it gets, a popular phrase is "getting NAM'd" in the main thread as it always shows a lot but rarely verifies.

3 years to the date that RIC measured over an 1" or 1,095 days. Might be the same for you in the News.

I can’t say for sure, not nearly as versed as Midlo and RIC at reading models but yeah, taking the same “don’t go breaking me heart” approach

Wow, may have to go to main thread and witness the classic meltdown, Ji posts a plenty. However, this seems to be following our script to a T, bullseye 7 days out, trend north leaving us with a slurpee forecast, then teaser tick south only to jackpot them again in the end. But with what has been posted, insert The Godfather III gif here of pulling me back in.

Well, now WE know something is going to happen...we are in the bullseye 6 days out and they are freaking out in the main thread. Which means, it will inevitably trend north and all their whining would have been for naught and we will have mixing issues.

Signs to have hope for sure. I have been waking up and gauging by the number of posts in the medium to long range thread, typically, the more posts the better.

Heal up RIC Airport and take care of yourself, you keep this little sub-forum we call home going.

Ah, the thread is awakened...thank you RIC. Crossing fingers for next week, time on the calendar (near the 5th) checks. It's been too long since we have been able to do this...

I have been an O's fan since 79 when they lost to the "We Are Family" edition of the Buckos. Last year, hurt but this one hurts a bit worse. Agree with most in here that I don't think Hyde is the problem. Loved Big Ben's call yesterday, Mullins HR was right on cue. Also, pointed out Adley's hesitation, more than once. Admirable job calling both games without being too much a homer. Hoping next year's edition stays healthy and I will gladly give up early season success for getting hot after the all star break.

20th Anniversary of Tropical Storm Gaston dumping on RVA. I work downtown and I remember we had just completed some Cisco Training, it had begun raining hard in the afternoon. When we saw traffic was not getting out of downtown, we took refuge in The Tobacco Company. We drank as we complained about not being able to get home but I had not idea just down the street, 3 blocks away, people were dying being swept away by the water. I had no idea the magnitude until I got home around 11PM that night and watched the news.

Good luck on the retirement landing search @vastateofmind keep us posted as I am just a few years out from doing the same. Emerald Isle would be first choice but looking along the coast, depending on where kids permanently land.

Well, if we can't do snow, just give me some weather.

So it would seem. Warm up next week. After that, I am fine with spring like temps. I am not a March and April snow fan and if we cannot get it in January, thinking the days of us getting it in late March and early April are also behind us, at least in my lifetime and in our current climate trajectory. Tough enough to clean blinds without shitting them, but yeah, I know the joke from the main thread. Hoping for some thunderstorms this year, those too, seem to be a thing of the past, at least in the volume we used to get around here.

Thanks again for keeping this thread and hope alive @RIC Airport i had a feeling about this one from the start. I hardly ever remember a clipper type scenario working out for Central VA. Thought for sure the TV Mets would have learned their lesson. Jim Duncan, a snow weenie himself, used to always ignore the models on clippers saying it’s just not how we get our snow. i am almost ready to mulch and fire up the grill. If 2/29 works out, I will be thrilled but once the calendar turns to March, well, I am past it at that point. Maybe we will actually have a severe season this year and the thread momentum will continue.

Never is. Tried to remain quiet as to not be a Deb but shoot, we rarely score on clippers in the best scenarios.

Only 2 years old in Dogfish years.

A chase to Emerald Isle? I do like it down there. Yep, plenty of time for the inevitable northern trend but let's leave Tidewater and Currituck in there so we can all enjoy.

Yeah, I figured when I login and check in the morning and RIC Airport has not posted, it's not a good sign. I have now reached a scary tipping point where I am almost rooting for our futility to continue and wallow in freakish misery (name the movie) so it can be worn as a red badge of courage in the main thread.

Right where you want it this far out. We know what happens when we are in the bullseye this far out, DC gets jackpotted, applying the same non-scientific weenie logic to this, as we want NC in that zone before the inevitable jogging trend to the north.

That’s my building dead center JC1, where I work, I should say. It’s funny how the area shuts down with an inch of snow where we went to school with it on the roads sometimes. It had to be completely covered back then.
