Its a Breeze

The water vapor, lol

Oof. My first AND second choices already taken

DCA - 98

IAD - 98

BWI - 98

RIC - 99

Just over 20" of snow - two 6"+ events. Snow was on the ground for almost a month. Jan and Feb below normal temps.

Have to go with A.

Things that would have made it better: That Feb. miss....man, that was painful; and Dec was blah. I really don't care that much about March sucking for winter weather this year. We did good down here, so, bring on the 70s.

Edit: Just seeing Cape's post. I should have just said ditto, lol

Yeah I was going to say, flakes fall all the time (not all the time, but it's not that rare) in April, even down in the cities. Doesn't stick or amount to anything, but they fall...

Man, if Southern MD gets 30 inches and I only get 22, I'm gonna be apoplectic with rage.

Southern MD is the new Northern MD

What to me is amazing is that besides the last three entrants on the table, there are only six entrants left who still have positive departures at all four sites. The closest WXDUDE64 has an overall positive departure of 24.4

Go big or go home!

I'm going to need DCA to slow down a bit and the others to catch up please. Can't believe I may have been to low on DCA

Touch over 8" on the deck.

With over 10" the first storm, this'll push me over 20" for the year. Not too shabby. 

The pic I posted was on the deck. Measured multiple places in the grass and 5.5" so far is the overwhelming consensus.

Are you saying you got 6” of snow just in the last hour??

Nope sorry, just 2"

Well, today wasn't the best of model days.   Luckily, we still have time for changes.   18z! 

Wasn't the best of- What does this even mean???

Do you know where we live!?

Imagine us...US complaining about doubling our snowfall totals to date.

Nothing about it screams historic to me as this kind of output would be expected at this range maybe once or twice per winter on average. Since ensembles are run every 6 hours, only a fraction of the major storm "signals" are ultimately verified as major snow events... even fewer as historic.

In the last 10 years, how many times have we had this type of run to run consistency, on multiple models, showing these amounts, this far out?

I mean, GFS still has 10-14” area wide over the next 10 days and this is an “off” run, so… 

Nope

Honestly, from weeks ago saying we were probably going to have another cycle of -AO/NAO and a colder period late Feb and March was one of the easier long range calls that could be made imo, for all the reasons I laid out previously.  And I am not averse to saying "I have no idea what is going to happen" when I don't which is often wrt long range stuff.  Actually kinda surprised it took so long for some to come to this conclusion (I guess they needed to see it on the guidance first)  but glad we seem to be getting a consensus forming now.  

One of the the longest "I told you so"s ever

Oh no. The Canadian was also showing temps in the mid 70s for the 6th...

I mean, it is showing mid 40s now. And snow a couple days later. But...it did show that at one point.

How are the Wizards averaging 16,000 this year?  I wouldn't go for free.

Haven't been to a game yet, but I'm assuming it has to be a vast majority of away team fans

I would becareful. We may  have a better roster next year but we may not be better in the standings. The lions will get players back...eagles are so good...packers will still be good..vikings may regress some...bears could be better. And our schedule is tough. We need to nail every draft pick and free agent.....

I would really start with offensive line believe it or not. If we can give Daniels more time and get a few upgrades at skill position...we could just outscore teams lol. I just dont see how you address all our holes in one offseason lol

There isn't a team in the NFC we can't contend with. If we had just made it to the playoffs, then people could make the argument that it was fluky. But we made it to the NFC Championship game....with this roster. That's not a fluke.

Even with no improvements and this team stays as it currently stands, our toughest games next year (outside of the NFC East) would be AFC West games. The NFC North have shown they can be punched in the mouth and back down. If they couldn't beat this team, what are they going to do against a protected Daniels or against a more reliable Commanders defense? This current team, which made it to the NFC championship game, should be the worse team of the Dan Quinn/Adam Peters era (injuries and whatnot aside).

Those teams have a tough schedule...because of us

The need to be rid of Lattimore  This was a relapse into the old way Redskins way of doing things-Bringing an aging star  head case.  Payne and Allen  are average.  Eckler can go. Daniels got them here and league knows about him now so they  Must improve with about 4/5 helpful new guys or will slip back 

 

I definitely agree we need to get rid of Lattimore. But I don't think it was necessarily the old way of doing things. Maybe a little. He was hurt sure, but there was no other reason to think he wouldn't be able to help right away. We was (on paper) much better than anything we had on the roster. We needed the help, he should have been able to help. But...lesson learned. Time to move on from him.

Our whole D needs to be revamped/improved. Along with the O line, running back is certainly a priority on offense.

With cash money to spend and being a legit contender, with folks wanting to come here....it's going to be an interesting offseason! Can't wait to see what Peters and gang cook up!

Here's a pic of a small field of snowdrops in my neighbor's yard in zip code 20910 (downtown Silver Spring and surrounding nhoods).  Date Stamp: 2/4/24.  I have another pic of crocuses from 2/2/23.  Barring very cold conditions in the next 7-10 days, I will be able to find a bunch of flowers like these in my nhood

lol, barring consistent extreme record breaking warmth in the next 7-10 days...I doubt it.

Soil temperatures now compared to the past two years are vastly (20 degrees?) cooler.

Even DCA has only had 3 nighttime lows above freezing. And two of those were the 1st and 2nd.

Snow finally trying to take over the sleet. 

The ground is white at least...

Still have close to 4" from the 10"+ on my deck from 1/6, so it was time for us to share the wealth....

Sleet here, and there is a layer on the cars, but not sure we'll see a changeover quick enough for anything but conversational. 

Amazing. Just amazing!!

When teams have IT, it's hard to stop it. The Commanders have it.

Looking up hotels in New Orleans right now
