Jebman

Unbelievable storm all up and down the Eastern Seaboard. CONGRATS !   

Those Providence amounts almost resemble a good storm cycle at Mammoth Mtn Ski Resort.

Jebwalk mention in Jan 2004, over 21 years ago: https://www.storm2k.org/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=22827

Yeah I talked about the snow on Storm2K, but I think I was just a bit too crazy for them. So I got thrown out lmao. That was years ago. Hah ha now I LIVE in Texas, I think S2K is based in Houston or somewhere else in the Deep South.

I was discussing I guess the effects of cold on the body during a jebwalk, then the way it felt during some milder weather. Pretty interesting, I listed it on one of my other boards, will probably record the entire thing on one of the boards and on one of my wikis.

Nomz, I had completely forgotten about that. Thanks for re posting it!

I’m sure you miss it but hope you have had opportunities to visit during the winter. 

I am in Atlantic Canada now yes, but I grew up in the Baltimore area and lived there my whole life until last year. 

Some parts of Atlantic Canada can get extreme snowfalls yes, but with Halifax being right on the Ocean the average snowfall in recent years has been 3-4 feet. Certainly nothing to complain about and it feels more like the winters I had as a kid growing up in the 90s in Baltimore, which I dearly missed with the lower totals we’ve seen in the last 10-15 years. 

PSU and others have been on here discussing the lower snow totals recently In the Baltimore/Washington Region.  I am not sure why this is, I am no Met or expert hobbyist like PSU or Bob Chill.

Someday I might drop by the DMV maybe see DailyLurker during a rare Washington DC Region snowstorm when it stays all snow. Maybe we need to have a get-together somewhere along the Eastern Seaboard. I might have to jebwalk there from Texas lol.

Its really nice to meet you Abby here on these boards. We have a lot of really cool posters here and most of them are far smarter then me. I guess I am on here in the winter because I am so enthusiastic about snow in general and also want to see this sub get demolished by deep powder snow. They know they want this. I know they want it. C'mon mother nature Let's Do This! We still got March!

We’ve never interacted but I’ve been lurking these forums for 10+ years now and just wanted to say how much I love your enthusiasm and how much joy you bring to every obs thread I read. Even though you moved away it’s really nice to see you still cheering everybody on here. 
 

I had always seen references to your jebwalks and pieced together what they meant from context, but it’s cool to learn the genesis of them. 
 

I just recently moved away from the mid Atlantic (although luckily to a more snowy area) but still find myself lurking here because I miss the vibes and there is no CanadianWX equivalent. So it’s nice to still read these threads and see your posts. Very comforting in a way and a reminder of home! 

That's nice of you. I am MUCH older now. I don't walk so well but yes, I lived in Dale City for 55 years. I love the DMV and Washington DC and I want those guys to get demolished by a 50,000 year blizzard with five to six feet of pure powder! Wow Abby you are from the Atlantic Canada region i think, where they can get 50 FEET of snow in a single season somewhere. Now THAT, is a LOT of snow! No way I could ever dig that lol!

Yeah everyone likes walking in the snow, some with their sweet puppy dogs. I guess they started calling their snow walks 'Jebwalks' because I was always talking about taking another jebwalk in the blowing snow, all excited because of the huge aggregates blowing past the streetlights in a 35 mph Northeasterly refreshing breeze!

What are the origins of the jebwalk

Well it all started back in I think the 1976-77 winter. We had some snow. I was really walking around back in those days man I was so YOUNG and just LOVED walking everywhere! One night it snowed overnight and I snuck out and walked around. I must have had a walkman with headphones and I played disco music and it ended up reminding me of all the incredibly good feelings I got from walking in the snow and watching it fall past streetlights even at 4am walking miles from home even at that age! THAT is how the Jebwalk was born! Music plus the incredible feelings about snow and walking and I was hooked for life! As the years went by I walked in every snowstorm, blasting Elton John, Billy Joel and ELO and got introduced to more songs. In 2025 I broke into the Generation Z tracks and now Playboi Carti, Ken Carson, Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars and many other Gen Z artists' tracks now remind me of weather and snow. I blast them too!

Lancaster right now

What I wouldnt give to have a stalled out captured storm dump snow on that place, accumulating up to the top of that car ON A LEVEL, not drifts. And the storm kind of decided to just hang around for a while, while a BEAST of a TROWAL mounted torrential snows over the entire region while the snow piled up and forecasters sweated it out, and snow weenies were so damn transcendently happy they were weren't just flying, they were effectively in orbit lol.

Storm amounts may be reduced in New England. Storm may be moving away, not up the coast.

Lets track this then! Reel it home! Have a look at the ensembles. Where is Bncho or SnowinOutThere? I know Tracker is in Houston.

Don't.  Tell.  Me. You.  Are. Too. Tired. To. Track.          If you think you are tired, you can sleep when you DIE.

C'mon Guys, you gotta have the proper attitude! Attitude is 90 percent of Life.

It's getting deeeep...

How deep? You need to jebwalk BAD in all that deep snow! C'Mon DL, I wanna know how deep that fresh snowpack is! I know its wild as heck out there but we snow weenies back in the western Mid Atlantic and in Texas want to know how deep that snow is! Let's see a jebwalk trail in that deep snow! We wanna eyeball the depth! Don't you dare slantstick it either!

This is without a doubt the worst storm I have experienced since 2010. Whiteout conditions currently. Couldn't even take video or pictures. Impossible to measure what's accumulated, but easily over 8-10" so far. Winds continue to howl. Can hear cracking trees in the distance. Snow accumulating on vertical surfaces.

I wish that system would just STALL but good. Really throw those torrential snowbands right up there! Pile that snow right up. Kind of like Mammoth-esque. STALL the fook right out, for days and days as that TROWAL just piled snow right up, to Day After Tomorrow depths!

There's going to be some 6" - 10" reports from under this band if it can hold in place for an hour or two. Obviously elevation will help, even 100 feet or so, but this is going to lead to some decent jackpots. What an incredible event this is!

Finally the long sought-after IVT Snowband. Hope you guys get smashed with a lot of snows!

Confirmed. These bands pivoting in off the Atlantic into S NYC AND the NJ hook are prime. I chased up to the Jersey coast just south of Staten Island. Double digits are imminient

That storm is just pumping potent snow bands right into the shoreline! Just imagine if you can, that this puppy were to stall out for about four fun filled days!

I'm definitely noticing a big change in thr snow in the past 20 minutes. It's really blowing around. The low is really cranking and cooling the column. 

Radar is showing band after band after band after band emanating from the developing low right up to you.

We got lotta more, lotta more. You're gonna get destroyed

I am in Dale City and I got NORLUNNED TWICE! 

Hear that? It's the sound of pure bliss for snow enthusiasts.  The welcome sound of tires spinning futilely in rapidly-deepening snow!

It's beginning to be a smoke show here in Harrisburg del. Headed out for a jebwalk right now. The guy at the front desk already thinks I'm a weirdo. 

Dude- "Why does that guy keep going outside and wondering around the parking lot? Is he looking at the street lights? Wtf?

They'd REALLY think I'm a super weirdo! I'd be singing ELO tracks out loud.

Yeah, best I stay in South TX ftw.

Anyone who doesn't know what caving means with respect to snow, it means enough snowflakes have fallen on a surface, such as a road, to make it look white.

Magnolia 

33F

Moderate snow

Might have to celebrate in the hot tube when the blizzard conditions start. Was going to wait till my retirement in May.

Grey Hat you look to have 3 inches on the ground already!

I just arrived at my hotel in Harrington Del. I'm shocked at what's already going on here. It looks like about 3" otg already and it's coming down good. I had to flip into four wheel drive about 20 miles outside Harrington. LFG!

Get ready for Brobdingnagian amounts of snow!

You guys are going to get demolished. Jealous. Enjoy!

Yeah, JakkelWx is going to get absolutely annihilated by Brobdingnagian amounts of snow!

Usually it's the Eastern Shore eating slush, rain and mangled flakes. Not this time. This time it's places like Del and NJ and the Coast all the way up into Canada that are The Places To Be!. All the way down the Eastern Shore to the mouth of the Bay, for that matter!

Good to see the Eastern Shore for once getting smashed by snow tonight/tomorrow. I've seen some of those forecasts. Wow 24-25 inches of snow, wind driven by up to like 65 mph winds? That's a World-Class Blizzard!

You know things are starting up with the storm when the posts are coming on this board so thick and fast that I can't even keep up lmao

I'd suggest, Get a tablet

NWS. This is a very polite respectful request. I know all I am, is an overexcited snow weenie. No chops. Just way too much emotion. It's wrecked my life. But all I ask, is for a Winter Storm Warning for southeastern Prince William County, and maybe all the other counties around it. Please. This is an extraordinary storm. You know it. I know it. Let's just do it. They ARE going to get 5 inches of snow with this.
