That looks more like a Jebathon!

It might be called Miller B climo.

Not much going on here now in Colesville. Very light snow. Used the blower on the cars.,

Looks like around an inch to 1.5" here in Colesville. Holding onto some lightish snow still. Pixie dust.

Have you reported to the Panic Room to take your place among the reaped, then?

Just finished the 2nd round of "shoveling" - super easy with how light and fluffy it is. It picked up for a time while I was out there but it's mostly just pixie dust now.

That and the look upstairs at H5 etc aren't as favorable as they could be. Miller B things doing Miller B stuff.

There wasn't a "wild swing" with the WAA (part 1) of the storm. The shifts have been with the transfer to the coast and the Monday/Tuesday part of the event. The low location and the upper level stuff has adjusted just a touch to be unfavorable for us.

I like your creative way of not actually saying the bad word

One "Radar Watching Hand Wringer" thread and one "It's Snowing!" thread.

Off the DE/MD border coastline isn't going to do it for us. Would like it a decent bit south and east of there with the tuck. I glanced at a bunch of the models earlier and they seem to be focused in that area. Down off Norfolk or even a little north of there would be much better IMO.

Can we temporarily ban the word "dryslot" in the main thread

I don't think the RGEM is a "terrible" model - but when it was the only one showing the banding arcing all the way back for the DC-Balt corridor I knew it was probably going to cave. That's when I tempered my expectations and buckled in for the WAA.

Funny random story.... When I switched schools in college - I managed to be home in Silver Spring during all three of the biggie storms in 2009-2010. My parent's still claim to this day that I planned my withdrawal process from my first college around the snowstorms

I think there needs to be a bigger understanding that there's a big difference between "disappointment in an underperforming storm" and hand wringing over models while the storm is actually happening that you forget to step outside and actually experience the snow. Similar to the people that go to a concert and spend the entire thing pointing their phone trying to get the best angle for their Snapchat or FB story. I used to do that with 4th of July fireworks - when I finally decided to put the darn camera down and watch - things were a lot more relaxed. Once you're taken one firework picture...you've seen them all. Unless of course you're @Ian - who somehow manages to make every new photo some beautiful masterpiece that puts everyone else's work to shame.

If anyone else is using GR2Analyst - I had the program crashing on me a ton this morning when start polling - I'm terrible at keeping the software up to date. Head over to the owners forum and download the latest update. That solved the crashing for me.

Meteorology Therapists should be a thing

It's the internet...it's done a huge disservice to the hobby in a lot of regards. I love CWG but having a group like that make "modelology" semi accessible for the general public has probably also made things worse. Now everyone wants to be an armchair met and it mixes with all of us weenies on here for a nice little fondue of hand wringing weenies and arm chair mets. We always had the "sad" folks in the obs threads - but it's definitely worse it seems now. It is what it is I suppose. I'll enjoy my snow.

My parents and other adults always used to say "you're growing up so fast!" when I was a kid (I feel like all kids hear this...) and I never really understood or saw it. Now being 30 and seeing kids on my parent's street and some of my cousins kids shoot up like bamboo is insane. Bob Chill's 6ft kids would tower over me (I'm 5'7") - WHAT IS HE FEEDING THEM?! It's been a heck of a last year or so...lots of adjusting and "winging it" - hopefully some sense of normalcy will return later this year. With how rough the past 12 months or so have been...and with how much last winter sucked...that's why I really am grumbling a bit more than usual at all the hand wringing. Fluffiest snow I've gotten in a while. If it shut off right now it would of course be a disappointment...but it's gorgeous out there. I won't try to force people to see things the Bob Chill/me way - but it sucks that so many people are all down in the dumps about snow.

Roads were partially covered here in the 8am hour. Looks like our side roads are now completely covered. Closing in on (or perhaps at) one inch at this point. A poster above has it right - kind of "drizzling" pixie dust right now. Already ran the shovel down the driveway. Very dusty snow - super easy to shovel.

I hear you - we all are chasing HECS storms. But of course not every storm is going to be a HECS or MECS. For me it's all about the scenery - get the grass blades covered up completely and I'll Jebwalk and enjoy the snow. Unfortunately, the advent of the internet and widespread distribution of snow maps and weather models has really hurt the enjoyment of snow for weather weenies everywhere. We could be having another winter like last winter - so I try to look at the bright side. It's snowing and it's sticking (for the most part).

Tried to DM you. Clean out yer darn groupie mail! Can't believe your youngsters are that old. I'll be 30 later this year and I still feel like a kid sometimes. My metabolism sure tells me I'm not 20 anymore...

It does seem it might be a legit drier area - but I'm not too worried about it. In a bit of a lull right now but it looks "bandy" in NoVA heading our way. I've already been on a Jebwalk™ this morning. If we completely fail on the deform tomorrow I'll still chalk this up as a good storm. It's powdery goodness out there right now. I'm taking the Bob Chill approach. Hand wringing gets us nowhere.

Enjoy the snow! Don't worry about a potential dry slot. It's pretty out there! There's patchy radar coverage in that area and it always shows less snow than is actually there. Just look at the LWX radar you can even see the beam with a little slice cut out of it. If we spend all day hand wringing about dry slots we'll miss the great powder falling now. Take the Jebman approach!

You must have a microclimate. It's been pretty good so far here in Colesville. You've been pretty down on this event the entire time it seems...not just today.
