I haven't bothered to look when the threat is, and maybe it's already been mentioned, but something after this weekend made the Eps and Geps snowfall maps jump today.

There have been murmurs about potential windows around the 20th and 24th.

This is how we know things are winding down here when we talk about the one off amazing situations.  The April snows…1993…the great St Paddy’s day blizzard of 1755…the white Easter of 1215 just after the Magna Carta signing Meanwhile people in Maine are like ok folks first quarter is over let’s do this.  

I hear King John remembered that storm well!!

[jayyy]

Pepperidge farms remembers. They always remember.

You sound like a fuckin hoot at parties. 

[wasnow215]

AIGFS has something brewing on Tuesday, February 24 around there. Cold enough also at least for that model run.

Lolol a wonderful retort. You actually do sound fun at parties. You’re not wrong though, this does feel like we are grasping at straws here.

Ah well..if having a glacial snow with almost 3 weeks of arctic air that barely got out of the teens--is the high point of a la niña winter, that is not bad at all. This has actually been a lot of fun! And It seems our misses weren't logbook misses but the thing I protest the most about ninas: the pesky NS, lol But it was plenty of cold, that's for sure! 

For next winter...I do hope we can take advantage of this niño and get it in a workable position. If we want a big dog soon, we can't afford to waste the second Niño of this decade...we only average 2-3 per decade to begin with! And yes I'm unabashedly HECS hunting too--niños are always our best shot at those!

I just hope we get precip at this point. It will almost definitely be a warmer winter than this year. But I dont care. Just give me moisture and I will take my chances. And hopefully an active southern stream from a Nino will provide that.

I'll tell ya what really got my goat. That monster 16 inch bomb cyclone that missed the DMV!

That was this sub's storm, not North Carolina's!

What I never even realized all these years, was that all I ever wanted, was for the entire DMV superregion, to get covered in solid ZR and or extreme sleet, to depths up to 9 inches, freeze in place, then get genocided severely by about 40 inches of wind driven pow at 8 degrees.

That would have made the entire world right, in my estimation. I would have been so elated!

LFG ending winter on a high note lol.

Yes!! This is how we roll in the DMV. 300+ hours to go? What could possibly go wrong!? We got this one in the bag. I’m already re-stocking the beer fridge.

Yeah I know. I'm just saying...this weeks feel like worse luck than other weeks call it a slight superstition or whatever. Like sports when a team just doesn't play well in a particular situation over decades.

It's just like the "weekend rule"...snows more on the weekends than it does during the week!

This is all silliness and has no relevance to what actually occurs. Weather does what it does when it does. Doesn't give a fuck about weekend rules or whatever else.

Of course it does whatever it wants. But I'll see ya on the weekend of our next HECS  (whenever it happens...Hopefully, lol)

You're right...of course it does whatever the heck it wants. And this isn't scientific in the slightest. It's no different than the baseball player refusing to wash a sock during a 30-game hitting streak...some are a little more like that than others, lol So err...

See ya on the weekend during our next HECS  (or whenever it happens...hopefully, lol)

I'll be fine with rain.  But for God's sake, give us some flippin' precip.
