Skidder at Snowshoe is ridiculous. You can clearly see they have so much snow that the edge of the ski run is as high as nearby buildings lol. It's been snowing there and piling up for weeks and weeks on end.

Watertown has been getting destroyed all frackin DAY! Check out different times on the vid! Man that LES fell HARD at times!

Guys/gals. There is a Banter thread.

You know folks in the DMV, Snowshoe is not all that far away from you all. All the answers to all your ills is there at Snowshoe, they have been getting demolished by torrential snow for weeks and weeks! By now they probably have more snow than Mammoth has right now. Mammoth only has 64 inches in their snowpack. I know Snowshoe has much much more than that. It has been snowing HARD every day for the past two MONTHS! That place is The Day After Tomorrow! It's been cloudy for weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks there and it is ALWAYS snowing at night! It's been like that at Snowshoe since late November! Talk about a MICROCLIMATE! https://www.snowshoemtn.com/media-room/skidder-slope-live-cam

It's only the GFS

ai never seems to get anything right

We still have plenty of time for this to trend more in favor of snow blitzing the DMV. We are still about 3 days out. I like where we are right now. We're gonna reel this one in. Just the thought of all that fresh pow piling on top of a deep ice glacier in the DCA region is mind-boggling.

El Ciel, Welcome to American Weather Forums!

DMV is Greenland

Hey MichaelJames! Welcome to American Weather! This looks like it gonna be a very snowy next couple of weeks, maybe longer!

Chasing snow for fun, whether it is just following model runs or actually going to a location such as The Tug, can be fun but this is a choice everyone must make. If you walk around too much like I did or dig way too much snow like I did, there could be real life consequences down the road, like ending up like me at age 62. But this does not happen to everyone. I don't have many regrets. I have some, but many more great memories of jebwalking, sliding like a maniac on my shoe soles down many an ice covered road while whooping it up like a crrazy man lmao and digging massive amounts of fresh powder snow and piling it up to embarrassing heights. Same thing goes for trying to forecast these storms. The models will get better (I think). Use your brain most of all. Use your experience. Remember past storms. Get a copy of the KU Book. Ask questions of the Mets here and the hobbyists (not me, lol). I am talking about people like Bob Chill, SnowinOutThere, bncho and PSU and many others. They'll teach you what they know and go after that meteorology degree then chase that big snow dream! There will always be weather and there will always be big storms! One day there will be a HUGE triple phaser like March 13 1993!

2m temps means something but it is much more about what goes on upstairs. Need Bob Chill or one of the Mets to explain this better than I could, lol. It's something about the DGZ, Dendritic Growth Zone or something like that. Remember the last storm in Virginia? Ground temps in the low teens? Sleet falling in 13 degree temperatures and people saying this is so ridiculous? It was all about what was happening upstairs. I think it was because of a strong warm layer at about 700mb or something like that over top of the incredibly frigid airmass over the Mid Atlantic that caused the warm layer to dump rainfall that froze into sleet pellets because it was so damn COLD in the boundary layer. Or something like that. I really should leave this to degreed Mets or qualified hobbyists like bncho or Bob Chill or PSU or even SnowinOutThere. He needs a red tag stat. I sure don't. All I am, is an old man, all played out, can't even dig snow anymore, can hardly walk on ice down here in Texas without falling and smashing my low back to smithereens, snow weenie lmao.

It's SE BUT this is pretty early

Truer words were never spoken.

The worst of it is you guys are probably in for several more major winter storms. Especially that thing brewing in the models right now. Could be talkin 1993 except this time you guys get laser targeted for maximum snow accumulations! ON TOP of that DEEP solid ice! Might have to start calling that place New Greenland lmao... ...By the time this is over we may all be fully Snowciopathic lol.

That's EPIC man, just plain EPIC! Not really sure how to clear that monster ice accumulation. Maybe get a pressure washer with super hot water...

I am very happy you are okay. You'll get the windshield fixed, but the most important thing is you are okay.

Wright Weather Bulletin Board (WWBB), that was the very first weather forum I ever read. That was back in the good old days. Before that I think it was some place called ne.weather.

Thats the Weathernext 2.0 Model I think. https://efisher828.github.io/weathernext/

We will have handheld phones like those by about 2037, they will use applied nanotechnology to change shape, but we will have even better tech than phones by the middle/later 2030s.

Hey Dave! Welcome to the Forum! You are hailing from my old stomping grounds, I lived there for 55 years. No kidding about our collective power. We CAN will this thing, and we WILL Reel this baby home!

Csnavywx, Is this a Triple Phaser? To my untrained eyes it sure looks like one. If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck...

Imagine all that fresh snow right on top of that Glacier. It'd be an outright Cryosphere

This is a thing of pure beauty. All I have ever wanted, is for there to be such a massive snowstorm over the DMV, that simply demolishes with incredibly heavy snows, and this looks so transcendently resplendent in all its Glory! It's got its frigid, moisture laden, highly energetic eyes fixed on DCA.

Not really Weathafella! We love SNE/NE and we are glad you got real snow! Enjoy it! I have always loved you guys ever since 2000. Love that region. I am getting OLD now but one day I just might visit during a big snow.
