So somewhere between 0 and 42 inches of snow in the next 7 days layered with Covid vaccine fighting is what i have gathered from the last couple pages of comments. Seems about right lol.
In some of our crap winters we look weeks out for a pattern change that’s always “3-4 weeks” away. Then bam! The pattern changes and it’s April lol. Maybe we kick the reset until April this year!
You see, if the Op run shows crap the sky is falling, at least until the Ensembles show hope. Then we are snow town USA. At least until the next Op run. That is Standard Operating Procedure for most of us here lol.
48 between Moorefield and Davis is essentially a death trap if you don’t know what you are doing. I almost prefer it in the snow compared to the fog. On the drive back This past weekend there were times when visibility was basically zero. My wife asked me if i knew what i was doing? Still trying to figure that out lol
Drove up to Canaan years ago well before 48 got you anywhere near Davis…in an Elantra in a snowstorm. Multiple snowPlow assists. Drove into a lane on 48 that ended in a snow drift. Thank God i was on an upslope so i could reverse out and go up in the left lane. Then somehow did a power slide up Mount Storm. It was 36 and rain when i left NOVA. A great story because I survived which i wasn’t so sure of for a while lol.
We are getting Thomas and Rui back very soon. I think the Wiz are in a good spot. The hot start was a bit of a fluke but if we can get mostly healthy for the second half of the season good things will happen. High clouds streaming into Montclair.
That’s really the unicorn solution for us right now. Get the precip to come in from SW to NE and hold on a couple extra hours before the coastal takes over.
The GFS certainly thinks so. Maybe the model is just simplifying things. Big blob of precip headed our way, cold enough = snow! If only it were that easy
I was there for 8 days Christmas to New Years Day. Never got below freezing and i watched the slopes degrade to almost nothing as the week went on. Then came back to a foot of snow 2 days later in Montclair. Crazy lol
