    Isn't that just rates? Euro just seems drier overall. I think the question is whether you buy the mesos with the intense dump or is that being overplayed and the Euro is correct with less intense rates? Or maybe something in the middle, which seems like the GFS.

    Yeah, maybe, but whenever in reent memory we were waiting on a 10+ degree temp drop in order to get snow without any arctic air nearby, the warmer models are usually right.

    Swimming is great. Used to do it competitively. It just takes more time to drive to a pool, change into my suit, and do enough laps to get enough cardio benefit, and then change and drive back. But I’m definitely keeping that option open

    I have always been a runner but got a peloton due to some unforeseen circumstances that arose that prevented me from running on certain days.  I was so skeptical at first but peloton cycling is incredibly efficient, you can get a phenomenal workout in 30 minutes.  Now I split peloton cycling and running and I’m fitter than I ever was when I ran exclusively.

     

  3. So in all seriousness, how is the pattern looking?  I am seeing solidly positive 2m temp anamolies for Feb 14 on the 6z GEFS and the same thing from the 00z EPS at the end of its run.  Are we still thinking this rolls into a better pattern for the second half of Feb or is it losing the progression altogether?  I know the weeklies were still looking pretty good as of yesterday.

    I lived in the Capitol Hill neighborhood in DC for several years in the early 2000s before moving to southern MoCo.  I can't say offhand whether the temperatures were much different there compared to DCA; I'd guess not all that much.  But in the time I was in that location I know the snow amounts I received were consistently higher than what came out of DCA.  Anytime I saw reports from a snow event, those in the District proper likewise tended to be higher; that still is the case (e.g., during the 2016 blizzard I recall seeing several 20"+ reports from the District even as DCA recorded "only" 17.8")  I actually found the snow reports from the National Arboretum to be a reasonable compromise amount for DC proper.

    I measured 24 inches in petworth during 2016

    Definitely not representative of NW DC, but it's fairly accurate for downtown. I lived in Adams Morgan/Woodley Park for 5 years which is only ~2 miles from the WH, and ~175' in extra elevation. I can remember multiple events where downtown was like 90% white rain and north of Florida Ave had a couple inches of accumulation.

    The zoo would be a good spot to represent the top half of DC.
