GATECH

Happy Anniversary @mappy!  Dec 19 was one of my favorite DC snowstorms, seen them all since 1998 when I moved to DC, something about a Blizzard just before Christmas was magical though!  Plus I was hammered Blizzard eve at my work Christmas party, stumbling home as it was starting...and yes the snow was up to my Golden’s eyeballs that evening!

Ended up with 1.5” in mid November. Even DC got snow. 

This was south of Alexandria for that storm...it can snow in November and stick, even to roads! Rates!

Enjoy your lead @GATECH...I’m coming for you

Hopefully!  I would love to come in last!  Though @WxWatcher007 has that locked up!  Heading up your way to Deep Creek 2nd week of January to get my fix!

Congrats to those getting hammered...with snow at least.

fun event and tracking even though the rain has commenced here in extreme eastern Fairfax county.  

Snow fighting off the sleet under good rates here by Mt Vernon

Rain and sleet

Rain and sleet now that was fun while it lasted.

Nice flakes now, -sn

Let’s see what this incoming band has for us.

First flakes!  Biggies, very sporadic!  I counted 8 so far, lol

First radar returns entering PWC, where is @Jebman when we need him?

anyone down there see anything yet?

Notice the white pixels in FX Co. It me.  It you

It true!  Do the models factor in our tears into qpf? Keeping in real, 32/24.

How it ends

I can’t believe I don’t know this, but where can I get current soundings?  ...for DCA

31/24...come on snow gods, just give me ten minutes of fatties.  For the love of 2020 just 10 minutes!

Not me. I say with great confidence that January is going to be another epic month and we will have better chances of snow even here without worrying about mixing.

Ahh, you are into the Bargaining phase!  I like it!

not all of us.

True just us South and Easters of 95.  We will be ok and will enjoy your obs of SN+!

I bet you could plot the five stages of grief really well on this forum. I know I probably go through them.

We are transitioning from Denial to Anger....

Except without the severe

True!  Lived in Atlanta for 15 years, lived through 3 close calls with tornados, like 2 houses over close.  Here in DC area for 22, nada.  Which is fine by me!

Its all my fault.  i started it this morning.  

Nahh, I think most folks understand that us lowlanders need to blow off steam when we realize it’s not our storm, just part of the grieving process..I think the threads leading up to this have been good, except for the DT blow up with JI, but we all knew that would happen, LOL. Just part of the tradition here!

Its a continuation of the last 5+ months for the eastern crew,  just colder.

 

LOL, true, so sick of Rain I really want to move to Phoenix at this point.

Just now, H2O said:

i remember that in the superstorm of 93 ATL got more snow than DC

There we go!  I like the optimism!  Yeah superstorm 93 was sweet.  Looking back I am pretty grateful to have witnessed the storms I have, superstorm 93 in Atl, Jan 25 2000, PD2, 2009-2010, 2016 all here, pretty good run.  Doesn’t even count the monsters from when I lived in Denver from my early childhood, some 4 ft monsters out there...

Personally I'd keep this form for I-95 to I-64 folks, Mountains and foothills are just a different climate.

The city dwellers should be in the Southeast forum, Our climate is now equal to Atlanta’s from 20yrs ago right!?

I don't set unreasonable snow amounts.  I can't go from 0 to a negative snow total.

We need to remember we now have the climate of Atlanta, having grown up in Atlanta I am well prepared for fails.

I should have stayed in bed, see things have not trended well for the south and east folks.  Time to start pulling out all examples of game time miracles...and warm up rain obs.   Come on we need a miracle of Jan 25 2000 proportions.
