To me, that’s also bonus snow. I’m focused squarely inside the hashmarks of meteorological winter (Dec, Jan, Feb). I like that we get (mostly) all four seasons and look forward to the next one by the end of the 3 month stretch. Wouldn’t mind taking some from summer to add to fall though all things considered. Although, that said, if we get an absolute whopper of a storm to track in March, I won’t be upset and it would be nice to get above average for the season (storm or otherwise), but I’m very happy with how the three months setup, with Feb focusing on the cold more than the snow.

Maybe this is where the mismatch is for me, personally. March is meteorological spring, so in my mind, any snow there isn't part of a winter expectation for me and only counts as bonus points.

This is where I am too. But I think we’re cooked for the season. We will see.

I'm quite happy for this snow to stick around, personally. It's been a very long time since we've had a proper deep winter. I'm all aboard the spring train come March, but this is a really nice run of snow on the ground/feeling like deep winter. Better than 40s and no snow imo.

Hey thanks! Never had these links before and just relied on the hype machine of this forum. Appreciate you

How's next weekend looking on the models?

Anyone got any maps for next weekend? I’m debating on a western MD trip and wondering if return travel Sunday would be safe.

Storm final for me: 14” measure on the ground, 16” via snowboard measurement. Looks like about 2” of compaction. I’ll put this one in my personal hall of fame given it was incredible to watch in daylight all day and it being the first big snow (10”+) for my kids. Haven’t felt a snow this big/impactful since the 2010 storm and that was nearly half a life ago for me, so I’m taking the W where I can.

Anything else is icing on the cake for me. I was at 7” as of 10am, cleared that, then just came in from doing 6” more on a cleared surface at 10am. Sitting on top of a ridge at the very northern end of Murrysville pays off for this hobby it looks like edit: plow came by one time around 9am, not since. Sitting at about 7” of snow on the road. Fairly rare sight.

I'm near that initial 20" map posted by Colonel last night, but I'm not buying it yet. I hope it's true, but at this point, I think double digits (10"+) is what I'm hoping for. Also, a habit I picked up from when we had the wet blanket - once the event starts, I won't be back on the forum until after the event. It's fun to track with you all, but I want to enjoy the event for what it is rather than obsessing over wiggles in the radar 30 miles west praying it doesn't shut off. Best of luck to you all - catch you on the flip side.

My personal line is 8"

I don't feel bad - he was a wet blanket on enjoying the hobby imo. I'm not saying we all have to be positive patty all the time, but goodness gracious that was tough to deal with every day.

Don’t like that warm tongue, but NWS seems to be discounting it given the surface temp for the hours leading up to it and throughout the event.

You probably hit your forum limit, go delete some old posts.

Pleasantly surprised by the overnight models. This thing looks, dare I say, locked in for the track? Westmoreland Co WSW has 12-17 inches in the notice and a glaze of ice possible.
