That AFD out of Bos is something straight out of The Day After Tomorrow. Thats gonna be no place for a jebwalk.

I played trivia at my local brewery last night, and that movie was the answer to one of the questions!  The topic for one of the rounds was Weather.  I of course got all the questions right and did double-or-nothing for that round.  I missed first place by 1 point overall though!

if we actually lived in a developed, industrialized country - a train from DC to BOS would take like 4-5 hrs.

Well, I think I would take a one-hour flight for $100 over that.  We need the hyperspeed train that would be like 2 hours.

I’m highly offended! No one died!

Also, what is ”LBSW?”  Low Bombs Southwest?  Asking for a friend.

It is just after 22 years to the day... maybe...

Maybe models have severe issues between jan 25 and 27

I have very fond memories of that event.  Going to bed looking at radar and thinking “hmmm, seems like that precip could get up in here…  Eh, no way.  The Mets/models would know.”

Which one? Lol

I think he means the second storm, I wanna say 9-10 Feb.  Its the only thing I could think of as well.  I got decent snow, yes, and east and north of me got way more, but that was a case where we were all modeled to get some significant snow because the low was juiced coming in from the west.  This one is not really juiced until it jumps to the coast, and I just wonder if this patch of light snow would actually materialize.

I’m not knowledgeable enough to answer this so I’d have to phone a friend, lol. I feel like people have been talking this up as a sorta unique set up, so that has its dangers.

“Unique setup” for DC typically means clean driveway/cartop/trashcantop.

think ji’s right above yours might be funnier.

I’ve been all in on this feature for a few days now since I’m too west and Millville and some other mets online have been fairly bullish. If it continues to juice up someone will do surprisingly well, I think. 5” might be tough

So I’ve lived here forever and I don’t ever remember a similar scenario to what is being forecast (let’s say 1-2”).  It seems we either get snow from the coastal or we get totally shut out.  When is the last time we got snow in a setup like this (assuming we miss all from the coastal)?  I’m legit asking, not being negative or anything.  I just can’t recall.

I think the front end can be weenie-willed up to a 5" jackpot, genuinely. 

LOL, funny sentence, but I just don’t see that.

GEFS look east what the heck lol

Wouldn’t really be focused on GFS ensembles at this juncture.

Much better vibe here than the MA storm threads, IMO. Helps that storms actually trend better at go time and work out here. LOL

Yes, we get somewhat combative and demonstrate massive negativity when things go bad, but we have some very smart posters and great mets.  We are handcuffed by our location in the southern climes.  

Christ almighty, you guys do threads right up here—313 pages!  I’m in DC living vicariously through you guys on this one.  Hope you all get buried!  I have some old stomping grounds in Lowell and I wish I was back there this weekend!

Just seems like every time people begin to derobe, SOMETHING happens to negate any perceived positives. So it wasn't the PV this time, but it sprouted tits. I think that is a sign that this one just isn't going to make to that historic tier.

*disrobe lol

I work in the education and no one is expecting 1-3 inches tomorrow its going to catch people off guard that is all.  

Judging by the lack of punctuation in this post, I take it that “work in the education” does not mean you are a teacher…

Anyone have totals from the NWS from yesterday?

They are listed here:

Tomorrow night, sun will take care of it tomorrow.  Save your back.

But why does my NWS forecast have a low of 28 tonight?  Was that an “already low?”  These are the kinds of things that would make a forecast more meaningful….

So when is the temperature going to drop?  Looks like the downpours are about to end and I was wondering if it would be better to shovel this 2 inches of slush off the driveway now before it freezes.   

So where is the ZR line?

I don't know why people are always in a hurry to take down lights. Leave em up and you get such pretty tableaus when it snows!

I keep the candle lights in my windows and the wreath on the door but take down all my indoor decorations.  So I can get a good Christmas card pic of the house in the snow!  Still big, wind-whipped flakes here near the changeover line.  21 degrees.

CC line about to cross 50. Ended up with around 2 inches here as well

That is a cool graphic.  I am just NW of that.  Ripping massive fatties still here 1.0 MI W Centreville.

3 inches to end the snow here in Fairfax. Sleet has started as the radar shows.

Still holding on to fat flakes here in Sinnerville!  Looks like the end is near tho :/
