Solid inch or more in town.

Hopefully this is the rare storm where everybody in the forum sees at least 2 inches.

Snowing lightly.

Absolutely!

Mike Masco FTW!

If other models continue to move west and that is the ultimate result the GFS won't figure it out until tomorrow maybe as late as 0z.

It was the 18z run on Christmas Eve. Best run for NW of Baltimore.

Tom has been there for 33 years. When he retires they should make Ava the chief meteorologist. I wonder if she is still there when Tom leaves if the station manager will have the guts to make that move. Not sure if he'll retire anytime soon though. He keeps himself in great shape and looks good for his age. I've always liked him a lot but Ava brings a different energy to the broadcast plus she is getting very knowledgeable with experience. On a side note Bob Turk has been at WJZ since 1973 the year I was born. 50 year Anniversary for him next year. Unbelievable!

Lol. I was thinking about this earlier. He kept saying he was a jinx now its come to fruition. His move sabotaged our winter. His next move might have to be to Boston.

Absolutely atrocious! Why would anyone put that out.

Bob's heater is barely warm to the touch. We started January so strong.

Yup. 4th time in the last week.

Might be a pretty good call lol.

Bottom line is if Euro stays stubborn and continues to show same results or even improve and ends up being correct than the GFS won't catch on until tomorrow maybe as late as 0z. I'm still on the front running train. Let's max out on that as WxUSAF outlined in his earlier post.

I'm really good with several inches. Such a delicate set up I wish I could just lock up 4 inches instead of rolling the dice for a bigger event especially for my location.

With a system like this we still have an eternity to go. As I stated yesterday we can't lose the snow with the initial northern energy. We've all invested too much time not to see snow falling and have something on the ground for the weekend.

Bitter cold behind it.

This has been my thinking all along.

We need an emoji for being an idiot!

Yep...pick up another hobby This is not a hobby. It is an addictive sickness!

I would've thought by now they would run the off hour Euro runs at least out to 7 days.

Is that what you tell your clients when you take on a new case.

At the very least I don't want to lose the snow associated with the initial northern energy. A cold windy weekend with bare ground and some sort of pattern change looming will be a let down.

Quite the prolonged period of lighter snows over there area as depicted on this run.

Some memorable occurrences from that storm: 1. During heavy bands when the winds gusted visibility was down to 200 ft. 2. By early afternoon snow became more squall like and in between the heavier showers and squalls the sky would brighten then get dark as the heavier snow started back up. 3. Little finger bands dropping out of PA kept the snowing going til almost midnight.
