I remember the week and days leading up to that storm... I was supposed to be working and I pretty much kept toggling back and forth between the model pages, the Eastern forum, and something called work lol. Luckily most of the staff knew I was deep into being a weather nerd already and would ask things like how much snow was coming, when would it start, etc. My favorite memory of work that week was our IT director sending me a message when I was looking at the models saying, "Matt, the models will be there in an hour, your work, however, will still be there as well." It was hard to do work that week with the models showing run after run of heavy heavy snow for us

Gets a meh when its textbook for us? Wonder what would get a "nice" look from you. Yes, its 10 days out, but that look is a big storm look as Bob and others pointed out.

The Mapnificent Storm?

2 feet of snow or bust

2002-2003 had 40.4" of snowfall -- but that was punctuated with the big Feb 2003 snowstorm 1955-1956 was a crappy winter at DCA... 11.3" of snowfall 1961-1962 was an average winter... snow was spread out over Dec-March for a total of 15.0" (Nov 1961 had 1.3" of snow) Snowfall records found here -- https://www.weather.gov/media/lwx/climate/dcasnow.pdf

You have chosen your pizza well

00z GGEM has the trailing wave idea but its too late for us... as usual (Dec 11-12)

Really think that time period (Dec 16-19) is going to be our first real threat around here ETA: Actually, is it just me... or did the 00z GFS OP run at the end look like a train of threats headed our direction?

That's correct

Then... don't post here if you don't like it?

A decent event appears near the end of the 18z GFS run... probably going to be our first real threat of the season if what the EPS/GEFS are suggesting that we have we actually have

I see @Midlo Snow Maker in the main Dec thread! Hi Midlo! I have some of your gifs that you made saved still on my computer... I hope that I will be able to use them this winter

There are people who live south of DC you know

This is true

I could care less if Ji wants to complain... as long as he does it in the right thread. I have sort of become numb to his complaints and just pass on his posts to be honest

Lol I wish

congrats

Full sounding at DCA says its snow at 32/33 degrees

Um... going to need to see that sounding at 102... cause precip says snow in DCA

Looks like we start off again with frozen precip per the 00z GFS at hrs 93-96

GEFS mean and its members should be fun to see then

h5 def moved SW comparing 00z 150 to 18z 156

Well... at least the secondary SLP is further SW on the GFS? 18z at 144 its basically over Delmarva, while 00z at 138 its in SE VA

You would think that 1035 HP on teh 00z GFS at 102 is in a good position for us...
