  1. Those accumulated snow maps don't come close to what fell in my neighborhood in the White Oak area of Silver Spring. We had drifts of at least 8 feet, blocking a neighbor's front door all the way up to their front porch roof and lots of 3-4 foot drifts. Not sure how 10-15 inches would have made that possible, even given the prior snowfall.
  2. Not much. I agree with your main point, just quibbling about your claim on how long we can get stranded.
  3. In 2010, we had 2' of snow on our street and not a single vehicle drove though it until it was plowed less than 24 hours before the second storm hit.
  4. Six whole years? In my neighborhoods in the White Oak and Colesville part of Silver Spring, we went from a blizzard in '66 (with drifts of at least 7 feet and endless fun for my 7-year-old self) until '79 between what I'd call HECS. Six years is nothing. Edited to add: Not sure about the gap after the '83 storm, but it may have been another 13 years to '96. ETA: Unless you count 8" or so then 4" of sleet to pack it down in '93.
  5. GFS has people speculating about a KU or Archambault event on 1/29. Can someone define these or link to a good reference? January 29 is Kansas Day, btw, so KU checks out.

  7. I'd love a tool with a ratio slider on the snow map.
  8. Went with weenie because I couldn't find the gag button.
  9. I always felt that Ryan would cover all bases more than being conservative. The original great DC weatherman was Louis Allen, imo.
  10. Looks about the same on my deck on the north side of Colesville, near New Hampshire Ave and the ICC.
  11. Heavy snow band just hit us here in Colesville. Looks like about 2" fell earlier.
  12. I have a 10am appointment to get a broken tooth dealt with and any more than the 2-4 inches in the official forecast for Colesville, MD and I might have to wait until next week. <4" works for me this time.
