  1. I actually have videos of the January 94 ice storm- my brother and I are attempting to sled, and my parents are sliding all over the place trying to walk in the yard. No one can get up the hill to slide, we just jump on the sled and slide across the flat areas of the yard. It’s pouring freezing rain in another video with everything encased in ice.
  2. I was growing up in Glen Burnie for the '94 ice storms- I know there were several, but the big one for us was the January one followed by the "Big Chill of '94" which made it impossible to clear the ice or even leave the house. I was off school for almost two weeks. The big one in Southern MD and the Eastern shore was in February, which was even worse from what I read (it actually got a federal disaster declaration).
  3. BWI stole 0.1" from DCA and RIC added a bunch: BWI: 9.0" DCA: 4.5" IAD: 10.6" RIC: 7.0" @H2O is now the leader.
  4. My panic room sacrifice seems to be delivering the goods... to St. Mary’s at least. Borderline WSW overnight last night and now ice storm warning.
  5. I agree with *some* of the stuff you say about model failures, so please post whatever your method is. I’ve seen you make several posts alluding to this “method”, so I would like to see if it stands up to scrutiny. Not trolling- I’m genuinely curious.
  6. A surprise 1.5” here- my act of self-sacrifice in the panic room yesterday has already paid dividends to my fellow southern Marylanders.
  7. Holy crap what happened? I just woke up and looked out my window to find everything covered in snow! Definitely more than a half inch that was in my forecast!
  8. Is it snowing in St. Mary’s or is that all virga? It’s like a force field preventing it from advancing into central Calvert
  9. Latest from the CLI reports (RIC does not have one out yet for today, though) BWI: 8.9" DCA: 4.6" IAD: 10.6" RIC: 4.4" New leader is @tplbge who's trying to be the only person ever to win both the heat and the snow contests (also dead-on-balls accurate for DCA). @H2O is really close though.
  10. I just saw that on the PNS reports. I'll wait until this afternoon's CLI reports before making the update. Let @Rhino16 enjoy his (or her?) lead the next few hours.
  11. So far: BWI: 6.9" DCA: 4.4" IAD: 10.6" RIC: 4.4" (yes, DCA and RIC are tied- it's not a typo) We have a new leader - @Rhino16 @H2O is looking good too now.
  12. It probably did impact them all and we just didn't notice because the other ones already sucked.
  13. It's gonna be Calvert and Charles lol The cities and north and west have WWA's, for part 1, and St. Mary's has a WSWatch for part 2.
  14. I’m still shoveling the 8-12” he gave me for the last two systems. Take whatever he forecasts for SoMD and divide it by ten- then it should be accurate.
  15. It just seems like the model chaos is way worse than any other year I’ve watched (and I’ve been watching for about 12 years now). Too many solutions and waves and events- it’s going over my head. I’ll just measure whatever I get and send it in the spotter reports.
  16. Like I said above, for every system the Euro seems to be too far south this year. I wouldn't worry much about it, the northern tier people always fret over being fringed and then the rug pull comes for us with less than 12 hours to go.
  17. As usual, it seems like the Euro is always the south one that hits us best.
  18. Euro has been crap IMBY this year- I just take whatever it shows and divide by five, that’s usually what the end result is.
  19. Hate to say this, but the Euro hasn’t verified IMBY at all this winter, while the GFS has been more accurate. I’m just saying...
  20. I was supposed to do the usual halftime report but forgot. I think @RodneyS is gonna claim the snow measuring was rigged and demand access to the airports as they count the flakes. God help us if he’s the runner up. BWI can’t get it done this year so I’m kinda liking @Cobalt as of now. I’m just hoping for my 4th consecutive top ten.
