Been showing how I take analogs and use that as a base and only change forecast once before. So Monday went out with 6-12 locally 18 DC to Boston. That means DC, BOS,NYC and ACY had base numbers of 9 inches( analogs) State College 4.5. Here is the forecast now

Not trying to be a dick but whats the point of this???

I definitely was one of those people. 

He definitely hypes cold patterns a lot. He does a good job regardless.

He can't hype anything he is in a cutthroat business

We never stood a chance with this set up unfortunately. Ill live vicariously through all the videos. We will get ours one day. I might be 60 by then but it will happen. 

[colonel717]

I was 2 so I unfortunately missed that one. Hopefully one day we see how a powerhouse repeat.

I had 93 as well, but I enjoy a heavy snowfall more without the high winds. 94 is still my all time favorite as I lived in Westmoreland County at the time and ended up with 27 inches. Moderate to heavy snow most of the day. Was a senior in High School and was off school all week. Good times.

47% chance of 4" / 31% of 6", according to PBZ.  So maybe a surprise for some? 

Didn't even realize I was under an advisory for 2-5".

So My brother flew to king of Prussia(Philly) for a pa school conference.  It’s supposed to be tomorrow all day and leave Monday.  I hate trying to make a call for him because he’s asking if he should just hop a morning flight back tomorrow but I feel like at this point. He won’t get out of these until Wednesday otherwise.

I was 12 for 93, I remember it well, but I didn't take it all in as much as I should have while it was happening. I just didn't grasp how rare of a storm it was.

Im guessing what was it Juno where it was a complete whiff still gives them nightmares. This looks a little bit more of a slam dunk imo.
