Pretty, but when is the last time SBY got 30" from one event? I think we both know the answer to that lol.

29-31 works for me 

Well yeah, up there.  Didn't look at sounding here, but I'm assuming it's like 33-34 here

What were the temps for the first storm in 2010?  I am pretty sure that started at rain.

I think my sarcasm was lost. Anyone who thinks sby is getting 30, I have an island off the coast of Nebraska to sell them 

[Interstate]

I see the temps starting at 33 and falling to 31 by 8PM

Yeah my grandmother (a teacher and vice-principal) would probably kill me for spelling it like that in a public forum, haha But that is how I talk sometimes when the black and Baltimorean comes out, lol

I thought they pronounce it "Ball-mer" up that way!!!

We need a serious American model. The gfs has become nearly unusable. Back 10 years ago when it showed a major storm 72 hours out…it was a near lock

Who has the latest 9 model blend?

I took 30 seconds to look at a sounding. Shrug. Didn't take much effort.

Why would you waste 30 seconds on the GFS 4 days away?.

I was in DC and rode the MARC home at the start of that -- it was snow despite upper 30s at the surface.  No rain even in DC because the upper levels were so good.  It seemed to snow for hours before even starting to stick though, and the first 3-4 inches that did stick were mashed potatoes

But why respond this way? 

[Scraff]

Damn it people! I’m trying to watch hockey and you’re interrupting with the worst model in the history of models.

@mappy lol. Yes, that's over 4" in the southern portion of the bay. Happens all the time in February.

[Weather Will]

@mappy lol

It's an all snow event on the GFS, so both 10:1 and Kuchera MUST be taking into account the melting!

[wxmeddler]

Brought it 100 miles west.
