clueless Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 The snow is sticking nicely to the grass. Streets in my neighborhood won't take long before they are covered as well. Our elevation really makes a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidlothianWX Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Starting to perhaps agree. We just need to train ourselves to wait our turn. Maybe we can get a good pattern going of 2-3 years off and 1 year on. Be careful what you wish for. Since RIC became the new RDU, we have seen feast-or-famine to the extreme here. Not a single storm over 10-11" since 2000 at the airport (and that's with fairly accurate measuring/corrections) and nothing over 14" since 1983. I hope that climo line doesn't creep northward. Wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathercoins Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Was just talking to a friend if their kid will have school tomorrow in Silver Spring area. They don't believe me the answer is an obvious no. Like, there is absolutely zero chance schools are open anywhere around here tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattb65 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 So pumped this storm is going to happen for you guys, you're long overdue for a decent hit. I remember the lead up to the blizzard and how sweet it was to finally get crushed after such a long snow drought. Good luck down there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we can get a good pattern going of 2-3 years off and 1 year on. I totally agree but you have it backwards. 2-3 hecs every 1 year is correct. Next year will have 5 at least to make up for the last 2. This storm is only a clipper on the grand scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmeddler Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Good luck to all down in DC area from the S PA folks. This is the biggest storm of the year for us also. DC and surrounding is going to have 2x to 3x our total for this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Yeah. Don't forget the GFS was showing a Columbia, SC snowstorm 5 days ago. I don't care if it showed a snowstorm in Ireland a few days ago. As long as the NAM and GFS 0z run is accurate, I'm all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattskiva Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Any early bets on which ski areas make out the best from this one? I am talking real ski areas, i.e. not Liberty/Roundtop/Whitetail. I am debating whether to head to Snowshoe or Canaan/Timberline on Thursday. That is, if the roads are passable to get to either. I realize this may be the first time in recorded history that Massanutten gets more snow than either of those two but I am still not going there. My bet is on Canaan/Timberline since Snowshoe looks to be a little SW of the main axis of precip, but I fully admit that I don't know what I am talking about. It's too bad that there are so damn many trees on Bull Run Mountain. I can see it from my window. I would ski that mofo all day long tomorrow. As it is, I will be the lunatic on randonnee skis on Gum Spring Road tomorrow, skinning up and skiing down the berms in front of the quarry.
