Interesting how Thursday has become a nothing burger for EVERYONE.

better than me seeing a huge snow just to our south like 2018 - I thought we may go that way

what is the purpose of the model? It showing snow 10 hours away and its discounted

Trolling the models!  

There was that one rare time.. maybe early 2000s, when NAM was the only model showing snow up to 11 inches in the area and we got it! We are due.. right? LOL! 

OK - no more.. this is becoming banter!

There’s a better chance of earth getting hit by a gamma ray burst tomorrow than DCA getting 6-7 inches from this system. 

Anyone looking at 18z Euro for trends on the strength of the low getting ejected from out west? Or was it bad so we did not see it? 

Ouch. This looks familiar 

Craptastic

Well this is surprising 

 

I find that generous! LOL! Probably too generous.. but I would take that.

Hit 17 degrees at about 2:30am.. Some light breezes started and my temp quickly rose and now I am up to 28. Looks like a nice day ahead.

the best was when it started. It was like 12 degrees lol. And it came in hot and heavy. Friend came over around 3am and we drove around for about an hour and a half. The next day was magical. And even the sleet was crazy because it was coming down really hard and  then it switched back to snow. The QPF maps were awesome. I got in trouble on the message boards because i was saying stuff like  12zAVN nukes DC. Apparently saying nuking offended people back then. And we used to have threads for each model run. like its own seperate thread

I think that is when I found Eastern.. 

I remember a coworker calling me after the small stuff the day before that brought in the cold.. I said - "That was not it!" - he thought I busted.

Little fun with the Temps and wind. Small gust caused Temps to rise earlier this morning, then we went back to calm and I am at the lowest temperature of the day. 

Like we needed any depressing news 

Looks like a few snow showers far SE Loudoun moving into Fairfax.

I am not saying the wave around the 22-23 couldn’t work. It’s has a decent shot. Just saying imo the progression gets even more favorable just after that. 

So maybe the storm after the storm.. We play that card many times. 

Little something/nothing on the gfs for the weekend. There.. somone had to say somethin'

Meh...

Storm/precip shield is more robust down south vs 18z, but next few panels has me worried

Ya.. Me too...

The cold comes in behind the northern stream miller b type system around the 15th.  That is VERY likely to go to our north...then the cold hammer comes down behind it.  

We can hope... It seems that way, and I want to believe, but man it seems hard to get things right when the time approaches. I am hoping for better trends for next week..

Not exactly looking great beyond Tuesday's system either.  The whole continent looks above Normal!
