Thanks to all who share their educated analysis and historical tidbits. Very appreciated! I've been learning a lot by reading this forum. Learning that El Niño can help, but it isn’t the make-or-break factor I originally thought for major snowstorms, as the 1996 event showed. I also heard that the Knickerbocker Storm occurred without an El Niño, and look at the impact it had. There are clearly other factors at play, so it really comes down to timing. Large-scale patterns such as the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), and similar climate oscillations also play a role.

Yup.

Spot on.

It can be so unpredictable and that’s why there is a thrill in tracking it. Some times we are in the exact bullseye and other times we are in the snow hole. Never know what will be the next.

The expectation is to see 20+ inch snow total maps across a wide swath of the DMV in some minds lol.

Indeed. There is still a good bit of winter left to go. Another decent opportunity could still arise for us.

I’m going to lower my expectations lol, but it will still be worth a track to see if it may trend in our favor.

So, that's the next potential period of interest?

This coming day will tell a lot.

Any movement west is still something. Bit by bit.

Just an evolution of the last couple GEFS. I got this from an individual on another weather site.

While some are still skeptical of it lol, 18z WeatherNext 2.0 trended west too.

Trends cannot be ignored…

Wow.

Definitely.

Wise call.

Precisely…

Okay, you win funniest comment I’ve seen today.

Only listening to stormtracker lol.

I’m awaiting the play by play commentary from the usual individuals lol.

5 mile tick west and we get a “Folks”?

I admit I asked it myself but it literally was for a laugh lol. Back to regular scheduled programming.

You got the jokes lol.

Legit was for the giggles lol.

00z already grabbing our attention closer lol.
