    Think about what this place would have been like if the Dec 2009 storm had missed. There was no significant snow until the end of Jan after that if I remember correctly.

    There was a clipper on 1/8 that dropped 1-2" and then really nothing until 1/30-2/10 and after that snowfall was pretty much done. Epic winter all in about 3 weeks, hopefully our benchmark of right around 1/20 this year works out.

    Damn that sounds nice. Playing the waiting game with some nice moderate snow falling here

    Yeah, I’m up to 3.7” so far, feel like 6” is attainable, if not more. Buddy of mine in Caroline is closing in on 8”

    Probably why it’s getting replaced. That death band in Stanford looks like my kind of fun. Willing it North as we speak.

    It is wild in that band here in Stafford, picked up 1.5” in the last 60 minutes

    Can’t help but wonder if the heavy band coming up will help the storm advance a couple extra miles. But that’s weenie-talk, probably not how things actually work.

    It’s puking snow in that band at the moment t in Fredericksburg/Stafford and as I type this Stafford was just upgraded to a Winter Storm Warning

    I’m in Arlington at the moment. I’m going to head back to CHO tomorrow morning if it looks like it would verify a WSW.

    Good deal! Think CHO is in a pretty good spot!

    Hmm, Canadian triplets, UKMET, and JMA get measurable precip to DC.  If the Euro comes in with the same, I may start believing we see some snow here out of this.

    Yeah, waiting for the Euro to confirm this isn’t all fantasy. I don’t think it’s too far from a low end Advisory type deal in EZF, but still preparing for Heavy Flurries. Knowing how close we are is the toughest part of this whole tracking episode
