This storm is kind of like trading for Case Keenum.  If no one shows up at thestadium to see the dumpster fire did it really happen?

Did colt mccoy or alex smith play in an NFC championship game? Have any of the last 20 skins qbs played in a nfc championship game? Kirk cousins worsened their record, you don't think that gruden can make keenum more than capable? You realize that we're paying alex 15 mil this year, colt 3mil and now negotiated a awesome deal to get denver to pay case 4mil so we only have to pay him 3mil? I don't know weather, but i know football and I'm tired of "casual" "fans" bashing everything the skins do.. it's ridiculous.  All the hatred towards the owner, why? We've been decimated with injuries that now effect our cap situation, wtf? I hope Keenum lights it up! HTTR

Thanks psu

Boom/bust sounds like march.. my wife says "this is when you walk away from the table". She's right as far as it goes to asphalt accumulations. You might get 10" worth of snow on asphalt that compacts to 3" over the duration

It’s pounding here right now 1-2”/hr easy. Huge flakes. Shame it won’t last long. 

My guys are saying they need to scrape.. your driveway or road look covered? Pre-treated?

Huge win by the Caps tonight!

Damn right, should've been 2-0, offsides goal but they gave that one back with the "oshie goal".

It uses critical thickness and temps at crucial layers to estimate snow ratios not just use 10-1. 

Gotcha, so as realistic of an estimate a model can get?

Kuchera 

but you have to subtract this from tonight 

What is kuchera? Seems like wishcast?

It’s really icy here. Been 31 degrees with a sleet freezing rain mix for hours. About 1/2” of crust. It’s now a very icy snow. 

I swear we've had more flash freezes this year than ever. Typically right at dawn when the thermals rise is when it happens but not this year! This by far is the best season in 10 yrs for snow and ice contractors.

And just like that it’s suddenly snowing. Lol

I've got guys in Westminster and Columbia, westmimster crew is reporting a quick flash freeze and Columbia crew saying just rain. Pavement temps in hoco 35° Westminster 31°

Its sad that bobchill is reluctant to post because of all the negativity on this forum now. Him and psu are hands down the best imo. I'm far from a weather guru, i actually find it "weird" that everyone loves snow. To me, it's just business! You guys invest so much time into this and then argue with eachother and/or brag about how much snow your lawn got.. its crazy! I operate with 40+ pieces of equipment and monitor this site from the sidelines because i have nothing to offer. While many of you are asleep during the storm, you've so anxiously anticipated and insulted some people for, I'm actually watching it unfold! Get your shit together, have any of you ever had to gamble on a "march sun angle storm" and lose thousands?? No. Get along, quit the bs and grow up. The snow or lack thereof doesn't put food in your family's mouth or take it out. If you have nothing positive to offer just read and retain. If you have negative thoughts please call 867-5309.

@Plow'n

Glad to help. This site is great. Well... as long as you can weed through the insanity, meltdowns, rants, pity parties, irrational thoughts, trolling, and infighting you can access really accurate winter wx analysis 24 hours a day!

Mostly meltdowns lol, some live run to run. Some hate snow it seems. Thank you all, seriously.. you can't and won't find more updated minute by minute weather discussion anywhere else where you can actually learn from too. In my 50000+ hours of snow removal and actually being in the storms I've noticed one trend, when storms over achieve they tend to bring buddies with them. Models don't agree with my gut, but my gut says busy 2 weeks ahead so drink up now!

As anyone ever noticed that unorganized/crazy models indicate a big event and/or pattern change?

I still owe mr chill a few beers from helping me successfully conduct my snow removal business during last years march storm. I continue to monitor this site and especially the mid to long range forum. I thank all of you for your input, it helps me plan so much and it's entertaining as well! It blows my mind you guys love snow so much lmao.. what i will say is 2 weeks ago we were talking about a torch.. because of this site i locked in on 6"+ in columbia and it worked, most "tv weatherman " were saying 2-3", i planned according to psu and chill and always will! Thanks guys. Keep the faith!
