Chasing pattern changes has been a tiring process several years in a row. I am impressed with the persistence of some people doing so. I have grown weary and keep wondering if it is all an illusion. I think next week will be rain. I am not counting on anything more than cold liquid. I hope the changes that are supposed to happen after it are real and matter. It seems like a cold dry pattern to me. Thanks for the work people

This has been a great year for beautiful long-range model lies!  In all seriousness, I hope we see some consistency and things hold. Once we started kicking the can, it seems to have stuck!

This winter is like Groundhog day for the last several years! We look in the future, get excited, and then get a gut punch or below the belt. Lame! Need to break the curse!

We really need to take full advantage of whatever window we have. We better not kick anymore either. This board has cursed more than I can remember! I have heard cursing in excitement and reality of failures! I am ready to break the curse of the endless delays. 

@Ji - What is happening in Loudoun! LOL! Anyways, this was a wild run. 

Both Euro and GFS show some hope in windows and a lot to be resolved with some crazy storm motion! 

76 here as well! My "feels like" says it is 81! Last week I was shoveling snow! 

13 Year Anniversary pf Carmaggedon! - NUTS. I was on the road for 6 hours trying to get home. Heavy snow and Thundersnow as I traveled.  

January 26, 2011 Snowfall (weather.gov)

Hit 70 at 10:15 am! Wow! 

Well I'll be... De Nam'd - Guess still some snow showers possible. 

63 degrees already!! 63 dp as well. Bit foggy! 

NAM- if it were cold and the ground would accumulate! WHICH we know is a stretch!

Gfs has the coastal transfer farther north and hence that backend precipitation farther north also.

eta…GGEM shifted north also.

Seems inevitable. Now let's see if the Euro does the opposite! LOL! I do not think it will but would be fun.

The Loudoun hate had to stop. Lol

Remembering 8 years ago. Was preparing with trips to Walmart and home depot

That's odd - I had a good 4 inches here - Had 3.5 earlier in the week. And I'm only 4 miles from PVille

I am a mile SW of Purcellville to be exact. It is what it is. 

Seriously got unlucky here in Purcellville. I had another 3.1 inches today. Total for the week was 6.3 inches

Many nearby had at least an inch or more today and earlier this week. Oh well. Better than last year and snow is on the ground. 

After the morning boom we have been pretty much pixies out here. A few heavier bursts but I am only a bit over 3 for the event. These two events were about the same amount making my total for the year about 6.2 inches. Several have done better than me. We will see if we pick up anymore in snowshowers or squalls. The heavier stuff was just north and east. 

Very Cool

Lake effect is very cool

I know we do warm well. Something seems wrong with the progression, though completely possible. I feel we see better trends with that high to the north, but not great trends soon. BUT, that is not science in that.. the guidance looks like poop! I see beter CAD and some icing concerns based on that Euro map. Just takes time to get better. 

Sucks to be fighting against such crazy climate. 

In 2016 we had a huge storm showing up on models by now!

Let's get some 2013 - 2014 trends here!  

Quite some differences

93 was obviously a HECS, but not based on snow totals along I95

Was an intern at the Climate Analysis center at the time! We had a briefing with the weather folks on the 6th floor where we could look at maps and hear what they were thinking for the long range! That was one of the wildest storms ever!
