JB over under for snow rest of the way.

IAD/DCA: 12

BWI: 14

PHL: 15

I think my 7 leg same game Parlay at +1600 for the SB looks better.

I got 7-8 inches of snow on March 31st 2014. Highest elevations around the area got 9-10. Dynamic system turned heavy rain into heavy snow. ULL really cooled the 850's and the storm went to town. Heavy snow for about 8 consecutive hours. Continued to snow until around midnight but by then temps rose a couple degrees and system kind of snowed itself out as best dynamics moved out of the region. Westminster got 4 with some reports of 6 in the highest hills. Hanover PA got 4-6. Hampstead just 4 miles down the road got 4-6. Reisterstown  1-2. Basically need to be 800 feet to see the best snows. This would've been a 12-18 inch storm if it weren't for so late in the season. Now with this upcoming storm on February 12th we're desperately struggling to match the set up of a storm that occurred 6 weeks later just about in Early April. Still possible someone gets very lucky on Sunday!

I think the vodka cold debacle was the winter of 2001-2.  JB's luster was fading well before that.

Yes it was 2001/2002.

February snowfall right now is actually above average!

Yes until tomorrow morning 

It doesn't matter what next year will be! We just went through a snowless January at +10.  A system came through last night with a narrow 30 mile swath and nobody even got an inch. There's no way next year can be worse. These little spats are cluttering the thread over speculation if not paranoia!!

Light snow!

It really is

It simply just can't get any worse! This is most pathetic run we've ever had. Period.

yeah maybe it's because i was much younger, but in the early 2000s he seemed pretty reasonable.  It's quite a shame.

Yes he was! In recent years he gets destroyed and bashed on here much to his own doing but there was a time years ago he was very good. In 2002 he kept insisting the cold and snow was coming and of course it never did but after that he had a good run and made some excellent seasonal forecasts. He had a good call on the flip to cold in late January 2007 and went warm the following winter which turned out accurate in 2008. I would say stubbornness in the 2011/2012 winter started his downhill spiral.

OMFG apparently this has been going on for a while but I just found out...JB has now fully conceded its warming BUT is blaming it on geothermal activity in the oceans, without any evidence and despite the fact the heat content of the ocean is increasing the most closest to the surface!  He is getting roasted.  What happened that he turned himself into a whole clown.  

He really has destroyed his legacy. I really believe the falling out at AccuWeather put him on an extreme path. Part of it could be just getting a little whacky with age and burnt out from all the years. Does the guy ever get more than 4 hours sleep in a night? The other part of the explanation belongs in the political forum so I digress.

1/25: .5

Total: 1.5

Still mostly snow here. This would've easily been 2-3 inches if we had a solid wall of precip. It just hasn't been that heavy, mostly light with some moderate burst. 

Back to all snow. Heaviest of the day.

Had light to at times moderate snow for roughly 45 minutes. Mostly sleet with some flakes mixed in now. Picked up a dusting. 32.

Ha for real. Definitely a nice 'surprise' this morning. Maybe some more for us wednesday? 

I would say we look good for a couple inches Wednesday but I'm so skiddish with the way everything has gone.

It feels like we live in the deep south and only see snow once every few years. Lol.

Heavy Snow. All surfaces covered including streets and pavements. Finally on the board!!

I have a future on the Bengals even though I’m a Steelers fan ().  Joe Burrow is the real deal.

Me too. I'm a die hard Ravens fan but once they started struggling I went heavy on the Bengals to win the AFC and the SB.

Best op run in a long time fwiw.

A lot of the worst winters still managed 1 storm that affected mostly the entire region. They were centered around late January/ early February. Hopefully we can scrap something together over the next 2 weeks.

Here's a few:

1. January 2002. Happened on the infamous day of the tuck rule game with Brady.

2. Early February 1992. 

3. Early February 1995. 

4. Early February 1997.

5.  Late January 2008.

1995 storm was the best of the bunch but anything at this point is acceptable.

Rock Bottom! 

I said in 2 words what takes PSU 5 long paragraphs! Lol.
