It's all about expectations... people have been reading of an epic few weeks and seeing the first storm trend into 48 hour storm that only puts down 5" in some spots isn't all that exciting. I'm still not good at learning to not buy into the weenie runs so I don't personally judge others who get sucked in and disappointed.
I sorta wish people would scream into their pillows instead of venting here but there are worse ways to get rid of anger then by using uppercase letters!
hah, no worries. It's a good reminder. That's why I often just post the maps and allow them to speak for themselves... often times when I try to call it a good run I get comments from the one part of the forum it wasn't a great run for, lol.
Isn't it like 5-5.5" up there on the UKMET? A pretty forgivable "mistake" to round that up to 6-10" considering that is the result in 90% of the region.
Yeah, this ended up being a banner run for DC-south. Very much ended up as psu being fringed. Kuchera clown maps have CHO at 16”, DC at 14”, Balt at 8”, and PSU-Ville at 5. My bias is kicking in, but I darn sure hope that’s the outcome.
I'm really ambivalent about this week. Love winter weather. Don't think I love ice. Looking forward to a prolonged wintry period but I don't need sleet/FRZA hell.
I'll just sign off now while I'm still somewhat ahead, but I'm admittedly posting with a somewhat Central VA inclination. I should know better and that the focus is DC-north. It's a fantastic run there. Never gonna be ice. Only issues with ice seem to be EZF south. Love the trend.
Serious ice signal for those right on the edge. Not a hovering around freezing signal. A "you will be icing whether you want to or not" signal. Really hope the south push continues -- don't want that to be me.
