We keep buying snowpants for our kids and then donate them every year cause they never got worn. It’s becoming an annual tradition. Eta: in fact for our youngest two we bought rain suits cause they like to play in the rain. Those got a lot of use already.

Monthly total is up to 9.29” now. Yep, 50 and fog seems to be every day in December the last few years…

Storm total so far: 1.93” Monthly total so far: 9.16”

LMAO I’m almost ready to post the annual Omen scene already @WxWatcher007

Well I certainly don’t want to buy Easter stuff now. I was frustrated this holiday season with craft stores as most of them down here had already sold out of Christmas stuff we needed by mid-December, and were stocking Valentine’s stuff. The new thing seems to be that we have to buy Christmas stuff around Labor Day I guess lol

The region just doesn’t cool off at night anymore. That’s been the main story the last few years.

Big Lots already canceled winter. I went in there today looking for post-Christmas deals, only to find they had already put out Easter stuff for sale.

You all are gonna be stuck waiting on hold for months like @wxdude64 if we don’t get snow soon. Might just get a fast busy signal.

I get what you’re saying with how you did the forecast. Sorry… I’ve just been losing patience with “Deniers” lately (not you).

There’s actually a quite a few good posters on this forum (and other subforums) who have seen it, but I’ve watched them get insulted and/or run off. Not trying to insult anyone, just stating facts.

You should’ve stuck to your arguments from last year (which increasingly look to be correct) rather than throw your lot in with the weenie hivemind like you did in your seasonal forecast. This was why I went really low in my snowfall contest predictions. Hopefully I’m wrong…

The hivemind on the long range thread is all in on January.

Depends on what you mean. I do think it will snow this year, but I have been in the below-average camp since November.

Yeah the week after Christmas in 2017 was impressive cold: multiple subfreezing highs and lows in the single digits IMBY, which ended with a WSW early January. The only other time I’ve seen sustained cold like that here was February 2015.

I think this is the difference between myself and the long range thread people. They're interested in the process, but I'm interested in the results.

No. It occurred during our transition period to near-snowless hellscape.

The 2001-2030 snowfall normals for BWI and DCA will be single-digits LOL

I don't see how BWI could have a Trace, I have family that lives in Glen Burnie a few minutes away and they said it was definitely not just a dusting. Not to mention all the spotter reports surrounding it around 0.4-0.7" or so.

0.5” here. I have already exceeded last year’s total by… 0.5” lol

The feast-or-famine pattern that started in the 1970's was always predicted to turn into just famine only eventually. That may have started in 2017.

You people are talking about snow while my kids and I are heading to one of the beaches here tomorrow.

That's correct, I had 9.3" IMBY, just north of me in Huntingtown was the bull's eye at 15". Much of Southern MD did better with that storm than HECS 2016.

Looking at IMBY records the last ten years, this is true. I have had three WSW events in March (2014, 2015, 2018). In December I have had ZERO. It does seem like winter IMBY is increasingly being boxed into January. I've had six WSW events in January in the last ten years, while February has had only two, and it's been a long time too (President's Days 2015 & 2016).
