Exactly.  We need A+B+C divided by 20 x .16 sigman minus e squared worked by a dozen cows and an eclipse.  It is what it is.  I'll track but not getting my hopes up.   Euro already doing the same thing as before.  Color me spooked.

EPIC sig material

Yeah DC is too far north for NC quality snow.

Damn I coulda made a killing if I was still young enough to dig lots of ice and snow.

I've got early intel on Punxsutawney Phil's upcoming decision next week:

This is one of your very BEST! I wanna be fully Snowciopathic, too! Damn I love this! I love ICE like some people love g-d. Ice is the best!

Beginning in the February 2026 Thread, I will start a page about loving and worshipping snow.

What started this little slog?

Yesterday. Watertown, NY. The camera. I saw they got close to 2 feet of fresh pow. I watched it come down.

Now, I want this fate for DCA and vicinity. It would be so wonderful if the public had to deal with 24 inches of fresh snow on top of the glacial catastrophe that is the present DMV.

Age has done me NO good. I do not have wisdom. Wisdom and maturity are both grossly overrated.

Snow is Number One. More than things, people or even life itself. Having deep ice underneath is even better. Sidewalks are unpassable. People fall. They end up in the streets where automobiles tend to slam on the brakes, and, well you know what happens next.

It's gonnabe the worst of the Jebman, and the Best of the Jebman.

Get a steel square edged shovel with a fiberglass handle. This is a Jebman Shovel. Use it. You'll need it. Much more winter weather is on the way for Washington DC.

Get Spotify on your phone and get headphones. Blast those tracks that remind you of heavy snow. Start taking jebwalks and slide on the ice while shouting Woooooooo----Hooooooo because you're so damn happy there's ice and frigid weather in DC.

Put your hands in cold water then walk around on the Washington Glacier and FEEL that wind! Feel those low dewpoints! Breathe it in DEEP!

This is NO time to be on that damn couch, stuffing jelly donuts and getting fat. It's high time to channel the Hero within yourself and get the pick, a sledge and the shovel and start removing the ice from DC, one agonizing chip at a time.

One more important thing. Ji said I am 12 years old. He's correct, except that I'm really 5. This, is why I worship snow still, in early 2026. You'd think I'd know better after five years. But, I don't. I don't understand why I can somehow remember storms as far back as January 19, 1979 in Alexandria. Or the fact that once we didn't have the Internet. Or reel to reel technology. Landlines, cassette tapes, the Greaseman in DC in the 1980s, tie dyed shirts, the Summer of Love in 1969, and a lot of other stuff. The BLIZZARD on March 13, 1993. The Infamous Ice Storms in northern Va in Jan-Feb 1994, and others. Not bad for a five year old, huh?

Oh, and Ji? I still crave for that Carolinas blizzard to hit DCA so hard with 12-24 inches of fluffy snow, right smack-dab on top of the Washington DC Glacier! I want this SO BAD!!!

Let's have a Jan 25, 2000 Redux! Let's will this in!

Please stop already. What are you 12?

Yep. When it comes to deep pow on top of catastrophic ice in Washington DC, YOU BETTER BELIEVE I am only 5 years old. And, I'm damn PROUD of the fact.

And I still want 30 inches of powder snow on top of that glacier in the DMV. You guys are tough. You'll love it.

I STILL worship snow to the total exclusion of everything else and everybody else. And I pray to the snow gods for deep snow right on top of that Washington DC Glacier!

I am out on the Ledge again just because DC is not gonna get deep powder snow on top of the Glacier.

Too bad the Reaper is retired. Damn.

And, Ji is correct on the model disco thread. Sure I'm 12.

I am always a KID when it comes to snow, ESPECIALLY snow on top of solid ICE! I am STILL OBSESSED WITH ICE AGE CONDITIONS IN Washington DC!

As long as it is not in Buda.

I will NEVER grow the fuck up.

I have not learned. I am gonna die someday without understanding, still worshipping ice and snow. Snow and ice are God, not g-d. I am un-repentant and I will always be un-repentant. I will DIE that way too. Guaranteed. Even tho I live in South Texas!

I'm not 12. I'm 5, and I'm DAMN PROUD OF IT.

Dang NC about to have an historic winter snowfall-wise? Smh

OBX may get 12-16 inches maybe even more. I wanted DCA to get that snow! I CRAVED pow over top of the Glacier SO BAD!

Maybe we should try to will in a Jan 25 2000.

I hope this thing overperforms somehow and you all get perfectly demolished like Snowshoe.

Its going to be so ice age frigid in Texas into Feb 23 that I need an entire new wardrobe. Maybe the AMOC stopped altogether.

I have officially given up all hope of Spring in the Deep South in 2026. It's been repealed.

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!

Last 4 gfs runs. Keep an eye on the system north of the Dakotas and how the closer it gets, the further east our storm goes

It's only the GFS

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.

That winter really looks relentless when you see all the snowfall listed out like that. It shows how consistent the cold pattern was through early 2014. Even now, when coordinating winter travel with Luxury Rides LLC, I always think back to seasons like this and how unpredictable snow totals can be.

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!

Temps teens and low 20's Sat could be 20:1 ratios no?

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
