Marty Shottenheimer went 14-2 and lost in the divisional round to NE I believe and was consequently fired. I think it was the 2006 season. That season we were the number 2 seed and lost to Indy 15-6. Had we won we would’ve hosted the ADC championship game.

100 percent! Total lack of composure and professionalism the players demonstrated. The Chiefs 1st 2 drives caused an early panic to ensue. Not a trait championship teams posses. Lamar clearly is not a composed veteran. Pressure of the situation limited his ability to think clearly and perform physically. He showed brain freeze on multiple occasions. For lack of a better term he choked under pressure. Now every big game in the future will continue mounting pressure. All that will be talked about leading up to future playoff games will be how is Lamar going to handle himself and can he perform under the brightest lights. The answer in my opinion is the coaching staff must limit his opportunities to make huge mistakes. Playoff football is different from regular season. In the regular season let Lamar be Lamar to a degree but in the playoffs he needs to become a game manager assuming we still have a high level defense. It's like the Harbaugh and the other coaches let their egos take over. We're going to prove to the world we can pass all over a great defensive with arguably the 2 best corners in the game despite having the best running attack in football. Look at Mahomes, as great as he is he knew his offense's limitations so what did he and Reid do? They had Mahomes manage the game. Mahomes only threw 1 deep shot and that was the last play for 32 yards. Reid and Mahomes utilized the outstanding defensive and kicker and let the other team make the critical mistakes. I never really cared for Harbaugh personally. I think he's an ahole and a phony and sounds so corny with his combining faith and religion with football. For someone akways preaching Christianity I've witnessed him treat people like crap far too often but with that being said I think he's a really good coach in terms of running the team, motivating players and teaching technique. I have never been someone to call for his firing. Im fine with him continuing as head coach but at some point a change in messaging and philosophy from a new leader will be inevitable The players apparently like him and play hard for him but he always falls short measuring up to the other top coaches as far as scheme and in game adjustments. His in fame decisions and taking points off the board by not taking advantage of Tucker and passing on sure field goals has cost us several big games. His clock manage has improved over the years but he too often has a look a total confusion when the camera pans to him. He's also had some very questionable challenges. I'm most disappointed in his lack of ability to mentally prepare his team for yesterday's games. How easily his team fell for KC's mind games. I'm sure will be a solid team again next year but come playoffs the same recurring theme will resurface. On a positive note it sure is good to have a team that's in the conversation every year and that shouldn't be taking for granted.

Pretty sure I recorded over 18 inches in each individual month from December through March and broke 90 inches for a total.

1/19: 4.0 Total: 12.8

Quick update from post a moment ago. Skies opened up. Heavy snow now with Inch an hour rates with big flakes.

Picked up again in the last few minutes. Still small flakes but ith low visibility. Never measured other than earlier this morning so I have no idea what we have. Maybe 4ish? Not feeling too great today so don't plan on measuring. I'll wait for PSU' final totals.

Snowing nicely now. Moderate with really nice flakes. Kinda stuff that piles up quick.

We need to get into some heavier bands here. The good stuff has struggling to make it up here. Starting to pick up as I type this.

Light snow. 24. Little over an inch.

Bring back the Fozz emoji for good vibes leading to an Epic February and March!!

Just wait for the back to back to back HECS starting mid-February.

I'm starting to really like tomorrow. Models are converging on the highest totals in northern MD. Hopefully there's not a last minute shift. To expand on your post about ratios, I agree. I expect mostly 15:1 up here. We always do well with ratios even in more marginal storms. The Euro which always is warmer than GFS has Westminster at 27 at 18z with 850's at -8. I think 20:1 is not out of the questions especially if we still have some banding the last several hours of the storm. Trying not to be to weenieish!! Lol.

13

First flakes are only 48 hours away if that initial band Thursday evening materializes.

After briefly going positive the EPO looks to dive into negative territory around the 25th. Let's see if we limit the warm-up during the "relax" period.

Heavy snizzle morphing into light snow.

Euro agrees! Going to be a legit cold home playoff game for a change. Nothing like that eerily warm game against Tennesse.

Really nice to have a storm where the sun doesn't come out immediately after the last flake and the dripping begins!

Aloft is very cold. 850's on all models are -8 to -12 during snow. This could easily become a decent event even if it's a relatively dry storm. Not going to take a lot of liquid to do the trick.

Looks like a solid 4 here.

Snowing nicely now. Still small flakes though. Took a while to get going.

Tom T's model of choice earlier was the hrrr.

Pretty much been at stuck at 24 all day. Perfect January day.

Just unbelievable!!
