"Current satellite imagery, ship buoys, and surface observations near the East Coast are showing that the main surface low is about 150 miles ESE of Ocean City, MD and 150 miles ENE of Virginia Beach, VA. It is about 50 miles further to the east-northeast and about 6 hours faster than model guidance suggested earlier." LWX early Sunday evening

That is a dramatic tale. Glad no one died in a stampede! I had the same experience with people disbelieving. Times like that you get into weather chats with so many people lol. I'll probably never forget a random moment, standing in line at a 7-11 briefly talking to a dude who was in town from CO (and clearly very proud of his snow climo) who confidently told me how it was going to be nbd. He wouldn't believe me. I agree, once in a lifetime. For my location anyway, and my tastes, no winter has been better.

I will reply in banter tbc

At the risk of starting a memory lane posting spree...yes. And in particular, for me, the period BETWEEN the two storms, when we knew the second one was coming, too...it was all just unbelievably exciting and amazing! @bncho I hope you and other younger folks get to experience something like that winter.

Nice and eerie. There have been some wild fog/bay melt looks around here lately, but haven't captured anything that does justice.

Update: Today's the day. Still swaths of near-shore ice atm but otherwise the river is open.

Everyone needs to know at least kvetch and chutzpah.

I know, I get it. Can't speak for others but suspect it's probably ok to talk Nina again. If one can bear to lol.

Hey, are you gonna be salty forever about a gentle suggestion by a met to not focus on Nina stuff? I was on at that moment, and I truly think the idea was, it's a fast-moving obs thread during a storm, and Nina talk can quickly add up to a lot of posts. I think the met even said something making it clear they meant, just not now during storm mode.

The inevitable AA co. deathband

1.75" just now

Indeed. I think a little more could come our way. I haven't even measured. Half inch maybe?

While others to my west obsess on the n*rl*n...I switch to DOX for better hallucinations

People have been hallucinating the norlun for hours

They may be. We shall see! Good luck.

I'm nowhere near you, this was not a imby thing, it was based on reading the last few pages. Best of luck. I'm in Harford but actually thinking good thoughts for the wester weenies.

OK well I wasn't asking for accums thoughts, but that's great as it seemed you were confidently declaring the storm busted and over for some of these areas.

LWX believes it will set up in "portions of the area" I typed.

@TSSN+ @DDweatherman thoughts?

LWX seems to think that central MD, the eastern WV panhandle, and south into the VA piedmont will get a piece of the norlun trough, and the upper level energy dropping in from the NW tonight (paraphrasing from AFD 3 hours ago). Maybe DOA calls for some of these areas premature?

I'm in the oval. Glory be.

Went from all-day drizzle to moderate snow with the large flakes, temp down to 34, high 38

Band rotating in toward the western shore, I am posted up by the radar/window, let's see.

Off topic, just heard from my elderly dad who was diagnosed with flu + strep on Wed and has been miserable. It's been a little scary for me. This morning he crossed the "wanting coffee again" threshold and just now managed to eat something. I'm so glad. Now I can fully weenie out watching whatever this storm is unfold. I don't want to be that annoying sanctimonious person...snow is life, I'm a massive weenie...but it is also just snow.
