Bumping this to post my totals while they're still relevant. I imagine in a few days, we will begin the slide to the back of the pack, but it was nice for the south and easters to be on top for a while (that's what she.....nm)
3 Jan: 13.5"
7 Jan: 2.5"
Total: 16"
Looks like many will hit or be above (I'm already above) climo from this storm. By mid January. In a La Nopenotthisyeara.
There's reason to be not so gloomy this year
Looks like we're also still 'orange' for a winter storm threat. Can we at least get red? lol
I think it's a better safe than sorry-just in case type deal. Throw in everything when there's still some uncertainty....
So, your like of big backsides is not a lie?
Last I checked (hour + ago) it was 29. But I'm screwed with this one, down in Chuck C. Everyone else, enjoy
I honestly can't tell if this is being sarcastic or not.
In the off chance this isn't sarcasm, then...LOL!!!
The U.S. being down and out?? Not even close. If this gets as bad as it could, the U.S. has 1000x more capabilities to handle it better than the countries you listed. You honestly think they would go to war with a superpower when they'd be struggling hard at home? None of those countries have the cajones to do that....
HUGE waste of time, money, etc.
Isolate the 80+ers with underlying medical conditions? Sure.
But to do all this to the rest of us is absolutely ridiculous and 100% unnecessary.
.1% for the U.S....
~ 5 million cases worldwide for the flu per year. ~500,000 deaths worldwide per year (low of about 290,000.) *pulls out calculator*
the MUCH deadlier and infectious seasonal flu*
Fixed...
It's the new kid on the block though, so it's getting all the attention right now. There's a good possibility of people not spreading the flu as much though, because of the new guy. So that's good...
Yeah I was going to say you don't have to go back that far for good March snows. Our biggest event in 2018 was in March.
...the first day of Spring. Even DCA had 4"
That being said, I'm very torn right now. As much as I would like to see something I'm tired of these false hopes, and I just want Spring at this point.
...are we going to mention the fact that the GFS Op is hot garbage (if you like snow) for 95ish% of everyone east of the Mississippi - in terms of populated areas?
No?
Ok.
2" at DCA for '11/'12? Wow...
Don't recall it being that much. Probably because I blocked that winter out from my mind.....
Haven't blocked '97/'98 because we all need a (just one) reminder of how awful it could get around here.
By far.
Even with those small imperfections, there appears to be enough right, that if it were to verify as is (it won't) I'm having a very hard time believing there's THAT much rain...
Someone please start a thread!
Knew '94 would be mentioned.
Fun times. Less aches, pains, bumps, and bruises with snow, but man I loved all the ice that year.
....except when the power went out, which fortunately was only brief as yeah, it was pretty brutal outside.
