The GFS does beat down the SE ridge by next weekend. We should have a period in late February that can give us chance.

Yeah. I think the snow option is gone. When your 850's are streaming in from the Yucatan you can kiss that goodbye. I would prefer sleet if at all possible. Regardless it looks like a pretty severe ice event. Temps here never get into the upper 20's until Friday at 0Z.

GFS is pretty darn cold for Thursday. Mid to upper teens before the precip comes in.

the GFS is a sleet bomb out this way. .7 QPF as sleet. Which I would obviously prefer to zr.

Euro is one hell of an ice storm on Tuesday. Although it has been over amped all winter. Edit: I should add for NW of the cities of course.

I cant believe we are going to go through a 2 month historic blocking period without getting crushed at least once. It appears that way anyways.

Colder at the surface. But still the Yucatan express at the upper levels.

The flow at 850 on the GFS is troubling to say the least. Straight out of the Yucatan isnt gonna cut it for the Tuesday event.

Its funny. I moved from eastern Loudoun 19 years ago based on snow. I wanted to stay in VA. And I literally researched the highest snow areas. This one was perfect for us. Great schools for my kids, relatively cool summers, fun downtown area and lots of history. I have grown to love the Winchester area. I could have moved further NW and been guaranteed another 5 inches per winter. But you have to find that balance. Now that I am aging I spend more and more time at my beach house though. Both of my kids are gone. And shoveling isnt as fun as it used to be. It is funny how your priorities change as you age. Anyways, sorry for my life story. But it kind of supports your comment. If you love snow bad enough move to where it actually snows.

Nice! Mashed potatoes for the win.

Because I am getting old. That is the only reason.

Yeah. I posted about the RGEM when it happened. I am mostly being a troll though. I still think we have a chance in late February. But in all honesty I could use a couple of 55 degree days at this point of the winter.

UK has joined the 33 and rain train. I might be done tracking this winter. Time to break out the shorts in VA Beach.

Well break out your golf umbrella for this one. You are going to need it.

UK joins the rainstorm train. What a monumental disaster.

Dont stop posting. Snow is an imby game. Post your obs and laugh at the rest of us. I know I would. And I am going to add that it appears DT will only miss by 7 inches this time. He is getting better.

You know what? With the constant collapses within 4 days and the way it annoys me BRING ON THE TORCH.

This! By far the most annoying winter of tracking in my life. Every single storm collapses completely within 4 days. It is Fing ridiculous.

I have had way too many Yeunglings to take the time to do that.

Thats the problem. The god damn models are inventing waves now. What a crazy week we have coming.

It has Winchester screwjob written all over it.

There are so many waves flying around. The models have to be struggling with that. We might be in nowcast mode for the next 2 weeks.

Same thing the RGEM was doing. These models have lost it.

RGEM is a rainstorm for all of us Sunday/Monday. WTF is that?
