The game plan still works. Win T.o.P and ball out on defense. SD is a tough squad. We really came to play. I like what I see. I still think Jackson’s passing inconsistencies will be a pitfall, but I can’t hate anything else. Maybe some better pass blocking at times, but that’s nitpicking. Excellent win

Congrats Katie!! Hope it's a good day

I remember it like it was yesterday. I also remember not being able to play in it due to a severe ankle sprain I got 5 days before the storm. I watched it all unfold from the inside of my house. It was crazy watching all the news reports and hummers getting stuck in the snow. Great storm. Wish I could’ve went out in it more, but life happens .

That’s my fault. I meant to say 2010. I’m so trained in putting 2018 on everything, so my appologies. Trust me, nothing happened on those days except panic and disappointment lol .

Well, I broke the tie lol. Kind of surprised I never voted yet going this long. Any who, I voted for Feb 5-6, 2010 because it was incredible to follow for the days leading up and boy did it deliver. 32.5" later at my old home north of Baltimore. Most snow I ever saw until 2016. That storm was incredible in terms of impact. Feb 9-10 will always have a special place in my heart for the blizzard conditions occurring during the height with 40-50" base around my neighborhood. Not sure I'll ever see that much snow at once where I live ever again. Magical. 2016 might have been my biggest snowfall, but I was working during the event and really stressed out, so I didn't enjoy it as much as I would've liked. I'll certainly never forget it. As far as pure impact goes, Feb 2006 is not up there with the big guns, but with regards to impact on me, it was the storm that made my decision to become a meteorologist instead of going for a major in accounting. I was in HS deciding where to go to school, and that storm made me realize how much I wanted to become a meteorologist and forecast the weather, fulfilling my dream of working with the Weather Service. Now, here I am, 12 years later doing what I aspired. That storm, and it's 4.75"/hr rates, thunder and lightning, and measuring in shorts and snow boots will always be etched in my mind.

That may be true in the last decade, but that was not the case historically when it comes to larger snowfalls. The 80's had larger gaps and the 90's were 3-4 years every monster. By average, it's a little more than 3. We're coming up on the average soon, and historically, El Nino's can be back loaded, so patience was going to have to be had if the Nino took a traditional path with regards to when pattern becomes more favorable. We could see a few shots prior to mid January of course, but I'm still banking on meat and potatoes afterwards. Snow in the Mid Atlantic can become such a boon at times, but we have to remember we can really cash in when things are going well. Just look at the heater we were on for 2-3 years recently. Law of averages is a kick in the "you know what".

We've had snow storms since then, but none of which you care for. I enjoy all snow no matter how it comes. Welcome to the Mid Atlantic. Big game hunting each year leads to too much disappointment. You could move to where I am. We average 4.2" of snow a year and a 8+" every decade lol

We usually wait 4 man. 2019-2020 gonna be rockin!

Nah. I don’t think any balloon we have can lift me off the ground lol. We do have to bring it out of the Upper Air shelter and the balloon does not cooperate in those winds. It pulls you and wants to take off. Strongest wind I’ve launched in so far. .

What a freakin launch that was. Successful, but that wind was no joke

I wouldn't write off winter this early, but I'm sure it sucks so far. Hopefully things turn around for the back half of winter. I know you hate back-loaded winters, but it's better than nothing I suppose. I never though this would be a complete wall to wall season back home. I always pinpointed a second half special. Kind of fits the Nino climo. I'm also banking on it since I'll be back home around that time lol

It's actually 7.4%. You forgot to include jonjon!

I get to launch the MAF weather balloon at 0z today with winds likely into the 30's and 40's with a gust to 50 mph. Should be a blast lol

This is the true coming out party for Jackson. If he can just manage this game and keep us close and in it all 60 min, he’ll be the starter for ROS. I just hope defense can hold them into the 20’s to give us a shot. Tall order, I know .

Has anyone heard anything about a run of missing bunnies in Rockville? .

I’m going to watch this game today, but my expectations are a bad loss. Anything more will be a moral win. If we win, idk what I’m going to do with myself lol .

Liquor stores will be wide open though. Always positives .

That’s not true!! We need more H2O in order to have more snow! That’s kind of the issue we’re facing now haha .

As a meteorologist, I can say, the times you are wrong certainly weigh on you. Mother Nature is humbling. Just have to learn and take a loss. I still love it and that's why I love this forum and the ability to talk weather and be a weenie without someone telling me I have a problem lol

I will say that the miss to the south is in gut punch territory, but I was just ingrained to accept any snow before Christmas is an anomaly and is unlikely for where we live. I just want seasonal temperatures for Christmas at this point. Now, if I lived in Upstate NY and had no snow on ground for Christmas, I'd be saltier than a cured ham. At least there's promise down the pike and it's a Nino unlike the last few years. Now it gives your brews a chance to age a little better come January-March

I hope I'm in town for one or two events. I'd like to meet up with some folks for a few drinks and snowy Jebwalks. I think @psuhoffman and @WxWatcher007 are game for when I'm town!

It's pretty sad to know we are on the 11th page of the Panic thread in early December when the area has already had a snowstorm reach Advisory and Winter Storm Warning status for a majority of the sub-forum. Long range looks great, and I for one am LOVING the look in mid-late January when I'm in town

Try making it your job lol .

That’s not true. The good stuff might be on the doorstep, but DC might be that old shut in that doesn’t answer the door to let them in. .

Thanks Mattie. Same to you! Sinus stuff really stinks. Just drains the life out of you. My wife is making progress now, so at least I have a time table to work off of. I have off this weekend starting Friday, so I'll be resting up big time come then.
