  1. That’s quite a split in Fairfax County. Cannot imagine it winds up that way although I could see Reston and Chantilly getting more than Fairfax and Springfield.
  2. I guess 2/06/10 is not the top analog anymore.
  3. Started lurking during Jan. 96 near the beginning of Internet when SNONUT and PTRAVEL broke down that epic storm. Still using AOL dial-up at the time which seems like the Stone Age.
  4. Jan 2016 was first forecast to be DC-Baltimore special with only glancing blow to NYC. I was living up in northeast Jersey at the time and was stunned we got 28 inches.
  5. Question: What does top analog take into account? Pattern, progression, snow amounts?
  6. Actually think this hobby is so fascinating because of model discrepancies, biases, and disagreements. If they all agreed, would we enjoy the great chase as much? Gen Z will probably develop some AI that does away with uncertainty but until then enjoy the conversations and get ready for the Happy Hour GFS.
  7. Is their analog storm or pattern showing up for later January?
  8. Looks like a ton heavy precip events in next couple months. If we go down like ‘73 or ‘98 so be it but I think we will hit some big snow events too.
  9. Please tell me it’s snow for NYC on 10th. May be up in Manhattan that week.
  10. Interesting that Jan 96 was the granddaddy of snowstorms for you rather than Feb 2010. Jan 96 was 2 feet for me in Fairfax while 2010 was around 28 inches. Feb 2010 must be Knickerbocker clone for DC metro.
  11. Wonder if this will be a 1983 winter redux? Largely mild temps throughout January and February but just enough cold air to allow for monster Megalopolitan snowstorm.
  12. Does it appear the seasonal EURO and CANSIPS will be incorrect and that the colder and snowy turn will not occur later in January into February?
  13. Roger, does it even seem possible to have winters as cold as late 1970s in Northeast?
  14. I’m fearful of a ‘97-98 scenario where there is no cold air in the DC area. Maybe that PV split delivers in January but even Judah Cohen is starting to hedge his bets.
  15. I’m the next town over in Fairfax Station Clifton area and we finished at 1.1 inches. Also a large tree across the road in neighborhood which happens back in the woods. Yes already over last seasons snow total.
  16. Thanks for sharing some optimism Roger. Toronto can still get mighty cold in the winter as I experienced on some February trips up there for Super Bowl parties. Subzero lows and single digit highs reminded me of time spent in Chicago. The thing that surprised me though was the lack of massive snowstorms in Toronto’s history. No 20+ inch snows on record whereas NYC has 8 such storms and DC metro area at least 6.
  17. What is amazing to me is ‘73 was as bad a winter for snow in NYC and DC for that matter but was a full five degrees cooler than last year. That has to be climate change Don.
  18. Are there any recent examples of December fronts kicking off snowfall after significant rainfall in the DC metro area?
  19. What about lack of ridging on West Coast?
  20. Do you think the pattern will turn colder/snowier as we get closer to Christmas?
  21. Will it be cold enough to snow in Mid-Atlantic? December 6 is my birthday so I am rooting hard for snow.
  22. How do you reconcile big East Coast storms hitting 2006-2016 which deviated from historical norm in strength and size? Could climate change have accelerated since 2026 affecting worldwide weather patterns and base state?
  23. 86-87 was a slow start too from what I remember as 9 year old in DC area. Then Double whammy 1/22 and 1/26 lays down 20 inches and February had storms too. Doubt this will be a cold winter but hoping for the snowy part.
  24. Can you expound upon why a less negative NAO could still produce snowstorms in 2023? It seems to me the deeply negative NAO of 2009-2010 may be off the board but maybe other factors come into play.
