Oh, I' prepared this time! Fire pit is going strong. Half way through a handle. Cleared snow fro my sleeping spot. Hand warmers in pockets. But here is the game changer. I invested in a sleeping bag after my last blunder: Details Made for the world's most extreme mountaineering expeditions Rated down to -40F for the coldest, highest mountains 4lb 10oz weight is light for sub-zero temperature class 850+ fill power goose down offers elite loft and packability GORE Infinium adds premium windproof, water-resistant protection V-Block Side Baffles and horizontal baffles keep down in place Double Interlocking Draft Tubes, down collar ruff seal in heat Made is the USA with careful attention to quality and detail Let's F'ing Go!

OK. After making a rookie mistake passing out outside and having 4 inches of snow covering me in the morning, (and being freezing could) I have made an investment. I bought a sleeping bag!

I love Jeb Walks, but I'm older know and have lost some mobility. The "new" jebwalk is drinking heavily outside next to the fire pit and sleeping in the snow! Nothing like it! Also, quick question, how much snow for Georgetown?

I seriously apologize for my outbursts last night. I was almost through a handle and was sitting by the fire pit. I decided to stay outside and watch the snow. It stopped four a couple hours and I panicked. I ended up sleeping (passed out) outside. I was covered by 4 inches of snow in the morning. No blanket just my jacket and snow pants. My wife couldn't find me and called me at 6 am. The call woke me up to a winter wonderland! F the Jeb walks! Just bitch, sleep outside during a storm, and see what you get! I was a cold old man this morning! With all the Georgetown jokes, I'm hoping for legendary status for years to come.

How many Tacos will I get in Georgetown??? Seriously, nobody has been cooking for 3 hours! I don't think I'm getting any tacos tonight!

DD- I;m not sure how I offended you. My apologies. I thought this was an observation thread. As of the last three hours, there has been no snow INMBY. I am getting misty, freezing drizzle. Is that not OK to report?

Still no flakes in Georgetown (DC) for several hours. It's now a misty rain. What are we to expect?

First time posting in the panic room. Jebus, it snowed all day here in Georgetown (DC) but no flakes for almost 3 hours now. Now its a light drizzle of rain after no parcipatation for hours. What gives? Am I done with snow? About .5 on the ground.

Doesn't Cnow?

You can't be serious! I will take all the rest of my posts to the panic room. NO snow for the last 2 hours. I have a light drizzling rain now, and I mean very light! Where is the snow?

wow. just walked the dog. still not a flake I Georgetown. as I was getting close to home, a light drizzle started but no snow.

I must be. It's now been an hour with nothing.

Nothing. Not a single flake for the last 30 minutes. It's depressing.

I am not panicking...YET...but it has been snowing, in various forms from pixie dust to legit light snow here in Georgetown (DC) all day. Now there isn't a flake in the sky. I thought the heavier amounts of snowfall should be happening now through the overnight hours. Am I in a temporary snow hole? Planes are taking off from DCA or maybe landing because I can hear them on my semi -Jeb walk with the dog. What should I expect? I know its an IMBY post. Sorry!

Thanks mappy! I know you have been here long time as well as Ji. I should have mentioned you earlier. I still don't get the cray cray on here about snow and why people fight about snow (regarding model runs, Kuchera rates, etc..). WTF?

So, I'm sure I will get crushed by this post, but... Is following weather really your hobby? Why not golf, trap and skeet, sking...things you can control? NS, TPV, phasing, trough, suppression, etc...? I won't lie. I am a snow lover and have lurked on this forum in winter for years when there is a chance of snow. I have done the same when I owned a home in the Outer Banks when a hurricane was predicted. I think I was here when this site was Eastern weather (but I'm old, so I could be wrong}. I know of Jeb walks, Wes Junker, Bob Chill back in the day and many others. Pro Mets (red taggers) make their living by observing and giving their best advice/prediction/forecast on their knowledge and what they have observed. I am very appreciative of these people taking time to post here. I also appreciate those that are here to learn and contribute. However, it has always been a pissing match between amateur observers about forecasts. There is also a weird dynamic between those that love snow (clinging to the best model run) and those that are more pessimistic. What gives? The weather will do what it does.
