Did school systems not just invest hundreds of millions in tax money to support virtual learning? Why is that not being used in these situations? I don't get it.. 

we get 5 snow days then I don’t know what happens. Also have you no care for the mental health of kids?

South fairfax got a foot I got 7 inches in western fairfax county and the roads are still a mess

Hey guys how did the Euro do last storm 60 hours out. Let’s remember that before we jump off the edge.

Let me offer my congratulations to your kids on an extra week long winter break!

Where is my congratulations? I’m even in the same school district.

Feels like Sunday might be something to watch as well although it's mostly rain at the moment

Might get some freezing rain to protect the potential snow pack

Why is it complaining to state northern neck is jacking again?  It's what the GFS shows.

Hey, every winter they get far less snow than you, it’s ok for them to jackpot some.

Probably a lot better for some though

Just post the darn map for us

A lot of people could not wrap their heads around it being 60 degrees Sunday and snowing Monday. Saw tons of Facebook comments assuring people there would be no accumulation because it would all melt. Probably some of the people stuck on 95 today.

Yet we as a society have to solve climate change and people cannot understand snow can accumulate after it was 60. Scares me

I'll buy what the RGEM is selling

If you are a snow weenie when won’t we buy the RGEM.

Imagine the mood here if this is a 1-3” event for DC and Baltimore, only for it to bomb out further north and drop 8-12”+ from Philly to Boston. We all know a Miller B can do that.

I'll be happy with that, would prefer a different outcome but already got my snow fix for a while.

Wanted to share my snow pics but it seems it won’t let me import photos anymore on here. Why is this?

You can just delete your old ones to free up space. You click on your name in the top left then my attachments to find it.

18z Euro looks good for a region-wide moderate event.  Generally 4-6”+ DC/north.  2-4” EZF/SE MD.  7-9” mountains.

Pictures?

This is first I’m following it in earnest. Can anyone explain as to what is enhancing a n/s clipper from what I’m gathering? 

Possible interaction with the ocean, leading to more moisture available. Not the most qualified to answer though but that is what I think should enhance it.

I wasn't trying to be critical of your post, just adding my own thoughts too it.  In the future people would do well to realize the GFS wasn't completely on an island.  Other guidance did see the setup in previous runs and had just lost the look temporarily.  Additionally the GFS was only about 12 hours ahead of the curve with the other models and they were trending along with it just a cycle or two behind the curve.  If any one model is totally and completely on an island with no support at all its wrong the vast majority of the time. 

Yeah, after the GFS and the CRAS both showed it far before the others. So the lesson is simple, the CRAS is a better model than the EURO. lol

My python program which takes in the model data and then weights each model said that I would see around 6.8 inches of snow, I got ~6.8 inches of snow. Guess I will use it in the future. 

Deck picture, around 7 inches of snow.

Bad news it stoped snowing

Good News: my forecast barely was right. Said 3-7 got just below 7

So close yet so far

Pretty sure ratios are increasing... radar over me wasn't super impressive but had 1" in the last 30 minutes.

Flakes have definitely increased in fluffiness 

In Reston and I am starting to panic about the cutoff.
