Getting rid of the mountains seems extreme. They are pretty. And CAD is nice. Better idea is just to make them retractable. Lower them into the ground when a storm is coming. Lift them back up after we get our 3 feet of beautiful powder. LFG team. We can figure out how to do this. It's just basic physics (and perhaps a little geology).

Kids are asleep but dad just took a jebwalk. Driveway is slowly caving to a fresh coating. Pleasant little surprise.
-
Beautiful big flakes coming down.
-
1.3 in Great Falls. I’ll take it for the first snow.
-
If you cut it to 4" your snow totals would increase dramatically.
-
34 this morning in Great Falls with moderate frost on the yard.
-
35 in Great Falls with light frost.

We all believe it from the beginning, we just tell ourselves we don't as a coping mechanism.

The return of the elusive Nor'easter. Drought buster or bust?

"Winter is over" bridge jumping on October 10 has to be a new forum record. Well done! -
To be fair, it's been pleasant almost every day for three straight weeks
-
Was actually fairly pleasant (or not unpleasant) outside early this morning. 72 for the low. Already much less pleasant now . . . 81/76.
-
It was incredible. Also have never seen rain like that here.
-
Still pouring in Great Falls. Creek below our house has turned into the Colorado River.
-
Pouring for the last 30 minutes in Great Falls.
-
Short but intense here. Quite a few trees down (and no power).
-
Lots of trees down from the afternoon storm here in Great Falls. Neighbors lost a big oak. Still lots of power outages. Fortunately ours was restored pretty quickly.
-
Surprised to see our temp at 31 this morning. Colder low than I expected.

(Insert old Elle MacPherson Photo)

I believe in this situation we are supposed to assume there will be two storms and add the highest snow totals from each model.
-
HRRR, which we know is an excellent model, has been getting a bit more aggressive with some snow for northern MD and with freezing rain to the west this evening (before everything changes over). RAP, which is equally excellent, is generally showing the same. I'm skeptical as is the 3k NAM. 33.0/30 here with some mist.

Dr. No can't say no if Dr. No is dead.
-
GFS has 0.2 in DC (and north) on Saturday.
-
Even more through 195 (subtract a few tenths in most places for snow that GFS says we get over the weekend);
-
When I was a kid in southern New England, there was a TV meteorologist (on either a Boston or Providence station) who would calculate "snow depth days" -- adding up each day's snow depth. I've always liked that as a measure. A 6" storm with a snowpack that sticks around for a week or two (or three) is much different than one that melts/washes away in a day or two. Using snow depth days, this has been a very good winter for most of us.

4.5" with compaction in Great Falls. Likely closer to 5" for the storm so far if I had the time to measure properly.
