GL to you all up north. I just want to get on the board here again to keep the snowpack going (I’ve had snowcover since Jan 3, which is nuts for this place). Another 0.1”-0.5” is good enough for me.

For once I’d like to see a snowfall contest clinched by February. This might be the year. @George BM

0.8” final total on the snowboard. Roads and sidewalks didn’t fully cave. This is day nine of snowcover IMBY so I’ll take the little refresh.

I remember Jan. 2000 very well, but I don’t think we’ll ever see such a huge bust in the short range like that again; models have come a long way since then, especially in the last decade.

Snow-on-snow-on-snow for me, I'll take anything.

That’s always how it’s been historically, but over the last decade it seems to have shifted to the first three weeks of January. I have no idea if that’s just a weird coincidence like Dec. 5 was in the 2000’s, or if it’s a shift towards a new normal.

Yes I’m a trained spotter with an ID, been sending in reports for a decade now. The issue seems to be that I am in the same location as State Highway (1 S Prince Frederick in their metadata) so whomever sends in the latest report overwrites the other. Or at least that’s what I was told. This issue never occurred until last year, when they started using “Dept of Highways” measurements. In the case of State Highway next to my house, the measurements are always too low and appear to be snow depth (that’s my guess anyway).

I just logged in and saw this post but this is the hardest I’ve ever laughed at anything on this forum since Jebman‘s epic 2015 meltdown at the SNE dude lmao

@MillvilleWx We’re having the “Dept of Highways” issue with LWX again- they took away my 9.5” from noon and replaced it with an inaccurately low 9.0” from State Highway (which is right next to me) at 5pm. I just sent in my final 11.6” total so we’ll see if they post it in the next update. I’m seeing a bunch of those measurements in the reports again, wonder how accurate they really are…

Final total 11.6”, second biggest storm since I moved down here in 2013. Amazing day today.

Parts of Friday’s snow is still on the ground (mostly in shady spots), so snow-on-snow will begin in just a few hours here. I’ll be sending in spotter reports to LWX, but I’m doing something a little different this storm- I’m staying off the forums and just watching outside (and playing in it with my wife and kids). It’s been three years since we had anything but a car-topper here, and I want to enjoy it as much as I can. I’ll be back here with a final total once it’s over. Good luck to all; I think the entire subforum will do well for once.

I think we’re all good for a WSW. The NAM can just go piss off. Good night all, not staying up for the Euro.

The California Walmart was as bad as March 2020 Covid; took me almost an hour to get our usual weekly grocery pickup. Parking lot was completely full and backing up into Three Notch Road, people getting case after case of water, toilet paper, milk, dog food, and… bags of ice and ice chests.

I’ll keep this in banter because I know it’s the NAM at 48 hours away, but… it still has me a little scared because 1) what it shows is usually how SoMD fails, and 2) some of our most spectacular busts (like Boxing Day) had the NAM lead the way.

I agree, I’m usually a deb with north trends but this cold air push seems legit. Busting colder and windier today, still not even above freezing yet IMBY.

Measured 1” exactly. Monday will be snow-on-snow now maybe. Eta: Venus / Crescent Moon conjunction peeking through the swirling clouds, 10/10 night

Everything has caved here, probably close to an inch already.

It’s accumulating here in Prince Frederick, got home from work just in time lol

TSSN+ has it posted in the main thread a few pages back. Jackpots everyone ITT

Holy shit let the 6z Euro be correct please

Just FYI for future reference: for this sub-sub-forum, “right where we want it five days out” is probably snowing in Tallahassee.

I still got next to nothing from both of those despite any trends south, but maybe somewhere north of here busted positive? Idk

To be fair, I’ve been model watching for over 15 years, and I can’t think of one system that trended significantly south less than five days out. West, east, and certainly north… but never south. This may be my own confirmation bias so if anyone can name a winter storm that did, let me know.

I fired my opening shots in the panic room

We are currently around the point where the models (as usual) start trending north towards the (inevitable) jackpot for the crew that always frets about getting fringed.
