    No expert whatsoever, but I believe 2010-2011 featured blocking, especially earlier on in the year (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) - so a "continuation" of the blocking we saw the previous year. Of course, our general base state recently seems to have been +NAO, so who knows.

    The only reason I'm still around is because there's an ignore function - I couldn't have stuck it out with the personalities and posting style of some folks. The only problem I have is that you can still see posts by those on your ignore list that have been quoted.

    Plows are the worst. Back in college (central PA), they would use coal ash instead of sand and/or salt. That stuff got *everywhere* as things started to melt.

    Picked up a T overnight. Amazing to have four straight days of snow of some kind and come away with about 5".

    I hope the thread name change (correction) doesn’t ruin our chances...

    Pretty sure Dulles was west of the banding, and many of them that swung through places like Lessburg fizzled out a bit as they pushed south.

    I don't think we added a ton today despite it snowing much of the day. It just never really came down hard. More than 0.7" but not by a lot.

    I'm good with that, as long as it happens while I'm in town...then we go to spring shortly thereafter.

    Felt bad for the UPS/FedEx/Amazon folks that need to get up the driveway for deliveries, though I probably could have left it since the early-February sun will undoubtedly boil away the snow by the end of the day tomorrow.

    Anything that's fun and results in a party is worth keeping around. No idea how that Phil dude gets treated, though I'd like to think Phils get treated well and live longer than most other groundhogs.

    40-day post-solstice sun is brutal. If I'd been out in it for more than 20 minutes today, I'd have definitely put on some SPF 50 sunscreen. As it was, I was shedding clothing within 3 minutes of starting to shovel.

    What's crazy is that there's reason to believe the pattern reloads once it breaks down in mid-month. Once we get there, we'll be close ton the time when we need a lot to go right to get all snow in these parts, but we also all know that things can get *really* interesting as we get into late February with a favorable upper-air setup.

    Overall, that's a hell of a Euro run. Gives us lots to track...

    5" from today is petty incredble!

    The WAA really underperformed. I got like 3.5" on Sunday, but most of that was between about 6:00 am and noon. It snowed lightly all day after that with the occasional slightly better burst. Picked up a bit under 1.5" since then, even with snow much of the day today. Just hasn't been heavy enough for long enough.

    Still under here.

    Started up again about 20 minutes ago. Awesome to be around that band and getting snow much of the day, even if it's only lightly accumulating. Feel for those who are on the outside looking in though.

    Looks like it's shut off in my neck of Fairfax County, at least for now. Nice morning.

    I'm usually rooting for the under when it gets that hot. You're right though in that we usually don't have to wait terribly long for another chance for something interesting...except when we're under a huge death ridge and we can't see how it could possibly rain for weeks. Then it's just back to complaining about how hot and boring it is...and eventually someone talks about how they can't wait to track snowstorms.

    Yeah...it's WAY less busy around here in the summer. I was pretty much a ghost this summer for the first time in ages, but that was related more to all the issues going on in 2020 than anything else. I generally do like it here in the summer, but there's really nothing like it when we're expecting a nice snowstorm.

    Let's not do a Miller B again.

    Have you looked at the run?

    Snow plow dropped its blade really hard at about 5:15 am. Woke up my 3-year-old, so now I have yet another reason to hate snow plows.

    And there's more in southern PA that has a nice trajectory. Whether it holds together or not is the question.
