Truly an odd breed. Snowing outside in real time and we're looking at the long range

Plow came through and put down a hefty layer of salt as well. Bye bye road accumulation. Shoveled walkway and driveway aren't really accumulating at this point. Snow is too light for right now. Some more enhancement showing on radar in splotches near Culpeper.

The return of @Bob Chill will hopefully lead us to the promised land of snow on snow on snow.

Well that would just be too obvious. You're clearly doing it in such a subtle way that nobody catches on. Meanwhile - I'm starting to think that radar filling in is not my imagination. Looking better with each frame to our west in Virginia. Bring it to us!

@Bob Chill - Did you just invite all the long timers to send you "yo momma" jokes in the main thread?

This is the way to do it folks.

Radar in the lull area is looking better the last few scans. Looking "splotchy" back towards Front Royal and Culpeper. Let's see if Bob Chill is right...he usually is. He might have some way of controlling the weather.

I'm finding it tough to see any grass blades. That's a big win - and it's not a slushy mess like the last event. That was the nasty water logged slush. This stuff is nice powder. Certainly not the event that could have been, though. Curious to see if the lull area can fill in a bit.

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
