A foot of ice is on my bucket list. I'd take a 12" ice storm over a 12" snow storm but that's just me

Were you here in 1994? An ice weenie’s dream come true. That was fun as a kid, but I don’t think I wanna go through that as a homeowner lol

I lived in the CO rockies from 92-99 so I missed that year but I feel like I missed out lol. I was jealous of the Jan 96 storm and we got 150" that month lol. I have problems.

Wth is wrong with you two??? A FOOT of ice??? 

I'd be happy to go over the entire list with you sometime. Next time you have a full week off we can meet up and get started and cover at least half of the issues.

I was in northern Calvert for the absurd 1994 ice storms.  We had three inches of solid glaze ice and the damage was terrible.  Whole trees collapsed and some people had no elec or water for days.  My parents' tree line took years to look normal again

A foot of sleet would be pretty cool. Freezing rain, no thanks.

I've had a 7" and a 6" sleet storm. That stuff stayed around FOREVER!

Last time would be December 2010.  Haven’t had as cold a start to a December since then, until now.

That would be a blast!

GFS finally gives "northern crew" some meaning 

[Alfoman]

0Z GFS looks like it reverted back closer to the 12z solution - more ridging out west and a more consolidated vort. However, us in the lowlands need this thing to dig more or it ends up being too warm

[jayyy]

18z GFS total snowfall between now and Christmas Eve. Obviously not to be taken seriously but man, that’d be something. Especially inland


Details to be ironed out on how the pattern evolves from here, but we are definitely in the game for something solid by end of year
