snow is personal. superbowls are just a thing. My kids can't run around in the lombardi.

Anyone else ready for a thaw and salt/crud wash? I'll probably get laughed at on this forum but I'm ready for a couple days of above freezing and maybe a good rain to wash all the crud out. I love snow but not sure I could live full time in the Northern Midwest states.

Its been a snowy January in western md. Skied early this morning before the crowds got crazy and got back home before the roads went to crap. Haven't seen roads this bad in a couple years up here. Not looking forward to the artic cold this week though.

I'm up at Deep Creek this weekend and we are getting hammered too. 3-4" so far? Awesome skiing. Roads are a mess though and lots of out of towners with FWD all seasons finding out the hard way.

Are ratings down though? These leagues dont care as long as the money and eyeballs keep coming in. Along with all the sports betting money. Multiple people watching with me said hand them the lombardi now, no point playing the next two games. People still watch WWE so i guess there is a market for scripted sports.

Whats the 10:1 map look like? I feel like everyone was using Kuchera or whatever map gave the most snow. I've rarely seen high ratio snows in central MD. Looking at the euro precip map, most of MD is in a .5-.75" band. To me, that tracks with what we've seen. I've got over 6" in Howard County and its still snowing.

Maybe 2" in ellicott city? Are we gonna get hosed?

Thats always a concern when they get the deathband and it dries us out 30 miles south. Just gotta hope it sets up right and we can cash in too.

The GRAF model he showed looked really close to the latest UKMET. Not sure who produces that model or if its something internal.

Tommy T on WBAL11 is hugging the GRAF model. 3-6 in MD, 6-9 DC south, 12" down near fredericksburg.

If i remember my history correctly this is how the civil war started.

Oh theres a couple in that thread.. especially the two lettered one from leesburg.

Everyone snorted the NAM cocaine and will be disappointed when we don't get 18" of non digital snow.

Remember when the JMA nailed that big storm back in 09/10? Yea, blind squirrel..

I think a lot of these snow maps are overdone based on the sleet/fzrn potentials. Feeling like 3-4" on a front end thump to snizzle is our low bar for the dc area. If the cold can hang on or get some coastal enhancement, those numbers can bump up. Probably some lollys in the favored higher elevation areas. The good news is whatever falls will be sticking around for awhile! Also the mountains look to cash in regardless, so we have options

There was a chance our return flight back into BWI was going to get cancelled because they were still digging out the runways. Everyone else I was with was excited we might get an extra day. Torture, thinking of all that glorious snow getting packed down and consolidated.

I was forced to go on a trip to Aruba during the 2016 blizzard. It still hurts.

Well tell him thanks! I know its not an easy job and he probably deals with a bunch of pain in the butt fools daily. The point n clicks vary but seem highest up in McHenry. JonJon land looks to cash in the most. As long as there is enough for the kids to sled a bit and throw some snowballs I will be happy.

Kinda wish Garrett Co would get transferred back to whatever office had them before LWX. Feel like they don't really know the micro-climate well. I'm headed up Saturday morning because I didn't want to risk driving in wind blown snow Friday night. Who knows how much we will have on the ground by then, hopefully more than a dusting! At least its cold and Wisp seems to have finally fixed all their snowmaking issues. Did you say you knew someone that worked up there? I would love to buy a beer and get the inside scoop of whats going on at the resort.

Kinda surprised that dude hasn't been weenie'd yet. Just terrible.

Read more, post less would be a good lesson to a lot of new members in the LR thread. Yeesh.

6 days away from a cutter to chicago.

The second one was hard to measure. We supposedly had 16" in Severn. The snow was coming down so hard and horizontal, not to mention it was on top of the 24" from the first one. Still surprised you only had 3" though. I remember being real mad waking up early to snizzle, and then it bombed out and all hell broke loose.

But what about Mongolia?
