The surgery provided a convenient excuse

You could make a compelling case today that the only guidance worth looking at until the short range for Ptype is the AIFS and you’d probably be right. This hobby is a lot less fun that way but it’s perhaps the way we are rolling.

UVA didn't mess around with their removal when I was a student there. Pretty darn good... only day I had trouble was during COVID trying to get to grounds during an ice storm. That was a little stupid.

Unfortunate coincidence. Could've been partying in an absurd mansion in Aspen. But I don't like traveling during the winter in case it snows here, so all good anyway. Not upset at all

Ah, a more classic fall line storm. Would hurt to risk raining in D.C. the second precip moves into the area again, but it's refreshing to see something "normal"

Me too! Especially because I won’t be able to walk in the snow after the leg lengthening surgery

I’ve got a very minor surgery and my girlfriend has a flight out on the 12. I’d lock that one in.

Guess nobody is paying attention right now - AIFS hits us for @WxUSAF's period

My girlfriend is at Georgetown Law and I honestly think if city public and private schools are open, you all should be too. Probably should’ve been open on Wednesday, tbh. But not mad- just jealous. Enjoy your virtual classes!

GFS has been okay on picking up storm signals at range - it had this weekend and the weekend prior. It’s not not worth a look, just don’t trust it with the details.

I realize this isn't our storm anymore but still painful differences in modeling for this storm down in North Carolina/southern VA. I'd probably look at the EURO AI and disregard all other guidance but tricky forecast for everyone minus eastern NC, which is the only part that seems consistently to get fairly consistently slammed.

Only thing worth kinda rooting for here for most of us is Boston getting screwed. Don’t have anything against the southern or eastern parts of our area or the Carolinas.

The “healthiest” way to like snow is probably just to look at the 7-day forecast and be thankful for what you get. Take a ski trip every year so you don’t get skunked. Problem is I don’t think there is any way out once you get in too deep. I’m sure even those who have left our forum still check in their own time. Might as well suffer together, IMO!

LWX bullish for our central VA/southern folks. Presumably some more to go here?

I like my idea! Everyone throws in a dollar, it’s a raffle ticket (so maybe you can enter several times), and we send one of us to Boston all-expenses paid. Easy. I’ll collect the money. Nobody worry about it.
