  1. it's snow shadowed. If you don't look up elevation before you buy a house in a bowl?
  2. I ain't reading all that. All I know is you're not missing a big snowstorm cause his friends like you.
  3. might as well stay there. LWX overmeasures. you'll probably get 34"
  4. nobody really knows how much we got on 2/9. I don't trust anyone's measurements.
  5. if my bf didn't support my favorite thing in the world, he'd need to find a place to sleep for a week.
  6. Can someone give me like 2 sentences on what models haven't come around yet. i assume 0z Euro will be telling. I purposely avoided tracking this one fearing a Lucy, but maybe I brought good luck?
  7. I think sterling measures for IAD at their office and they do NOT under measure lol. so maybe it is a mistake or they were just in a bad location
  8. FAA should have ceded this years ago. It's the not caring. It doesn't really matter if I got 7" or 8", but they're creating an official body of record. I don't think eyeballing it is acceptable
  9. you surprised? I think i predicted 7.1" yesterday when things were looking good for 8"+. They measure on a small strip of grass right in front of Terminal A and they have a history of not really caring. They probably just stuck a ruler in the ground. They didn't get only 1.5" of sleet. Plenty of 8"+ reports nearby
  10. final here 8.5". awesome storm. more memorable than most 8-10" events.
  11. my friend in piney orchard says 10.5" but he swept. might be a little high but you got over 9".
  12. surprised IAD so low. They must have really crapped out in the afternoon. BWI lol. Did they start sweeping every hour again?
  13. Maybe we'll get a stronger southern stream in Feb-March. Wavelengths shrink, and we can get simpler storms. (feb 96 cough). Without having a deep ULL parked over the TN valley, it's tough to get a top 10 snowstorm
  14. I'm going to avoid the bargaining phase of mourning our non-hecs later - "this is actually better than an 18-24 inch snowstorm!" . No it's not. But it's damn cool. Very few times have i experienced something like this
  15. I guess there's a reason we don't get many 18" storms. We probably didn't apply enough climo hedging for this one. At least a few days ago. I know the "physics" are what they are, but it's like flopping a straight, where you have no chance of improving on the turn or river. you only have a chance of a rug pull
  16. It's pouring sleet again after a fairly brief quasi-lull.
  17. Growing up, I recall many times when IAD was 27 and Elkins WV 50. It's not super common but with some CAD events they torch
  18. that's a big takeaway with this one. Moisture bomb. the amount of liquid is going to be jaw dropping in some places in the DMV.
  19. where are you at most recently. over 8" yet?
