As a child of the 70s in NOVA, such a true statement Bob. I never realized it until recently but I tended to look back on pre PD1 as a much more productive period that reality says it was. If I could point to a marginal sledding event looking back, I was happy. It doesn’t mean the winter was great. Most were not. PD1 is the reason I am here. I sense this is a younger board and most were not around for PD1. Not their fault, but witnessing the early dawn hours of Monday morning PD1 was life changing. It helped with perspective

My house in Rehoboth has 12 inches but whatever. Carry on

I’m with you. We have a place in Rehoboth but I can’t be there for a week!!! I guess will be living through boardwalk cams!!!

I think I am getting in on some of that in McLean. Hardest been coming down yet.

Glad someone asked. I am very confused at the moment with regards to, or lack there of, upcoming winter storm prospects.

OMG. Remember back in mid 70s 1212 was calling for Heavy Snow Warning, as it was once called , for 4-6 starting mid afternoon on a weekday day. Best buddy and I kept waiting. Kept calling 1212 until finally changed to Travelers Advisory, also a thing, for 1-3. Of course got zilch. Not one flake. But loved calling that number

Doug Kammerer said probably going to under perform around DC. May lower totals.

Rates really picked up significantly in McLean and quickly. Power flickering

Lat. 38.93 Long.77.19

Coming down heavy in McLean but I think flip or mix imminent

Didn’t expect to see these minuscule snow flakes in McLean. I will consider this a win to help keep my sanity.

Beautiful in McLean right now. What we all hope to see.

I think another shower inbound to McLean. I’m on side near Evans. Popped up quickly

Was up at 12 and 3 this morning and was surprised to see what was happening. And still is!!! Nice for McLean/FFX get in on some late bands once in a while.

Yep. Finally some nice snow in McLean today.

Angels Envy Old Fashioned. I’m in Rehoboth Beach and coming home to NOVA tomorrow. For a while there not so sure I wouldn’t see more action at the beach.

I just read where Topper is calling for rain Sunday. What is happening in the world.

Flurries while opening presents on Christmas morning. It’s a win!!

I miss 1983 Christmas Eve

Huge flakes and heavy rates in Mclean. Is change imminent?

Wow. The secondary roads in Mclean caved on a dime. Plows came by and covered right back up. Showing 31 degrees

Light snow and sticking in Mclean. Somehow it feels like victory. Sadly

Well said. I am 57 and lived here my entire life loving snow. Can’t tell you how many times back in the mid 70s the famous “Heavy Snow Warning” was issued for 4-6 inches. After no snow I would get the update. How? Calling 936-1212. Then would be crushed to hear the revised forecast of a Travelers Advisory for 1-3. And reality would end up being 0. Many years later the drill might be different but the results frequently the same.

I mentioned this a couple of days ago but I don’t think there was much around DCA after the nice December storm in 1973.

I was only in grade school so the memory is fuzzy, but I don’t think DCA saw much snow January- March of ‘74 after the good ‘73 December snow.
