So close to the .1 lightest of grays I can taste the disappointment, it’s very bitter!

 If people keep complaining, it will be 33 and tumbleweeds -- just out of spite.

Looks dangerous, when do they issue the warnings?

This should work right?  What could possible go wrong?

So did Baltimore get good snow?  Just want to confirm DC is the new snow anus of the mid Atlantic

You know...for being between the two snow cheeks things got wiped really clean. Not even a single streak or dingle. It’s Charmin hiney clean

It’s like the snow anus just got an enema.  Still sprinkling, 39.

It's a snow gap, not a snow hole. I'm not impressed.

At some point you just have to marvel at it.

That is the new snow anus of the mid Atlantic!  Rain and 42, fun!

42/29.  Patiently waiting for my sprinkles to commence.

Is it bad that I'm having impure thoughts this morning about the not-too-distant severe season?

I’m looking forward to opening my pool!  Hopefully late April.

For DC metro, time to fold wave 1 and 2 and go all in for wave 3 on Saturday.

you do NOT want that crown

LOL, I don’t think we have a choice at this point.

I'll drop this here. Hopefully people read it. 

Neary EVERY single event here that produces will have a suite or several suites of models early in the short range that are overdone. Often waaaaay overdone. Expect it. Understand it. Respect it. But whatever you do dont hug it. EVER. 

Anyone? Hello? [Crickets]

Especially any model from Canada.

I hate using snow maps to eeyore a storm but if there was ever a perfect depiction of what will likely happen IMBY based on my luck this is it

 

Yea us.  Maybe we can claim the snow anus title from Charm City!

I like that analogy.  That was a distinct overperformer and very location dependent. it was dumping snow in Fairfax during the morning rush while it was doing almost nothing over the beltway in Silver Spring.  

Yep, I think one of these coming waves can hopefully produce!  I worked in Tysons at the time and had to take several coworkers home in my CRV which was a champ in snow.  

Gonna hug the Mar 9, 1999 example the @Deck Pic threw out yesterday.  That was a surprise over-performer, similar setup.  I think the models have set the goal posts between Richmond and Baltimore, other than that Radar watching time tomorrow evening.

Come on Canada, please be right for once.  So the 12z models thus far paint 0-12in somewhere between Fredericksburg to the Mason Dixon line.  Good luck NWS on this forecast!

In just a couple three weeks we're going to be so bored and tired of snow, we'll start tracking monster SE ridges

I’d be down with that, we only do miserable cool, damp springs lately.  Mid 70’s and sun starting Apr 1 would be awesome after our upcoming glaciation period.

March 9 1999... I believe it was a bit of a surprise we got so much?

Yes, definite over-performer! Would take a redo in an instant!

Generally that only happens with lighter moisture starved systems, this system isn’t moisture starved.  Plus the mountains aren’t like the Sierra’s and we aren’t like Nevada.

Also, the Gulf of Mexico seems to be open for business, low level winds blowing from the south into the system feeding moisture.  That’s the whole magic with this system warm moist air from the south, the cold from the north = moisture and a steady long duration over running event.  Notice there is no potent vort or shortwave for this system.

I want/need someone much smarter than me to explain how the moisture wouldn't just get eaten up by the mountains in the Piedmont area given how this system will be moving..

The last time the Bucs won the Super Bowl decidedly happened to be during a pretty memorable winter for us 

In fact the only other NFC South team to win also was during a great wintry stretch, the Saints in Feb 2010. I remember having to drive to my grandparents' house to watch the game because we didn't have power. 

We lost cable in 2010 due to the snowstorm, it came back 30 minutes prior to the game, I fell asleep on the couch before halftime, exhausted from shoveling snow all day.  Good times!

Wow, Banter is in rare form today...so many plots and sub plots today, hard to keep up...

Puking cotton balls under this little band.
