their forecast is just silly.. I know @usedtobe is the primary contributor but if I were them I would title the headline "Foot of snow possible for DC". They are way too conservative. Just let it rip.. have fun with it!

I couldnt agree more.. And if you live in Southern MD or even DC.. just book a staycation somewhere!! Hunt Valley is very close to Oregon Ridge.. stay Wed night and sled on Thursday! This is an easy chase

I thought this was the thread to show snow maps?

nope.. that comparison is fine

@mappy kicked me off and then I created a new account... but no.. why do you ask

For anyone north of Baltimore, to me it seems fairly locked in at this point. We are just at 96 hours.. if we get one more day of model runs like this.. and it fails.. we are looking at a huge bust.

no

Its gonna stay cold for a while too.. so this will stick around

We should actually play this bingo thing

hilarious!!!

December DC Baltimore Dulles 16.6" 2009 20.4" 1966 24.2" 1966 16.2" 1962 20.1" 2009 21.4" 2009 16.1" 1966 17.1" 1904 15.9" 1969 14.5" 1932 15.6" 1960 14.3" 1962 13.2" 1904,1945 14.7" 1932 11.9" 1982

Verbatim this would be one of the biggest storms in December in history.

The source of the cold air is significant also.. Wednesday morning might be the coldest day of the year for many in the NE. It might be in the low 20s for @psuhoffman when its starts snowing.

Hold on.. didnt it snow like a foot in Denver earlier this year on the same day it was 80 degrees?

oh shit.. I didnt think of that...

I was looking at the temps and Tuesday morning will be the coldest morning of the year for many in Northeast... in this scenario we have a building cold air mass and an exiting storm to usher it in. I really think that temps break in right direction for us. My kids and nephew will probably go to Oregon ridge Thurs morning!

My guess is you will be fine. everyone might see some sleet when the low is just to our se.. but that happens pretty much every storm that wraps up like this. The front end thump will be where we cash in. I have this feeling we will trend colder in over the next few days!

The Primary low looks to develop over Panama City Beach Florida.. the one in TN doesnt seem to be the dominate one anymore

I live just outside of Baltimore on the west side of town... basically where interstate 70 and the Baltimore Beltway intersect.. how much snow do you think I will get?

Banter is fine in any thread as long as we put little buttons on that say "the following post may contain sensitive information to some readers, click here to reveal content" .. then if someone posts too many maps, we can automatically assign a tag that says "Posting images without analysis is misleading and brings little to no value to our forum" and then @Ji automatically gets "This claim about snow is disputed". And @DTWXRISK gets "Many outlets have called this storm differently"

you do know that these all use the same data set?

I have to drive to Philly to buy a Kitten

What? Wait why? We have a storm exiting only 24 hours earlier and a 1035 HP building in to our North East.

yessssss!!!! Thats what I wanted to see!

Even the 84 hour nam looks good
