He does.  He'd be salty, but he'd let me stay here. problem is his friends love me more than they love him probably.  Going for his friend's bday. I'm a good bit older, but I party harder and outlast all of them mofos. He AND they would be salty about it, but they'd get over it.  I just need more than the GFS to justify it.  If it's just the GFS, I'm at BWI at 10:30.  If the Euro is on board then it's bye bye to him.

I’ll send you pictures of my 18”, at least you can live vicariously through me.

I ain't reading all that. All I know is you're not missing a big snowstorm cause his friends like you.  

Damn right I'm not

All about the $$$ friend.  And I had a flight credit with United.  They only go out of BWI or IAD

Sure, I think BWI flies to Hobby in Houston too but that’s SW? I’m a United guy so IAD to IAH. 
 

Usually I find Dulles a little cheaper in those situations. I don’t have a “close” airport but 3 options all 1h 15 to 1h 25.

What’s the timing for this guys? Gotta figure out when to drive back to dc from eastern WV. Ideally on Sunday morning if possible

Frederick has a snow allergy during La Niña. Chasing is tempting, though.

it's snow shadowed. If you don't look up elevation before you buy a house in a bowl?

Some may disagree, but I think you're fine.  Even if the gfs is on to something, temps are marginal to start.

Fine early Sunday for sure. Earlier the better though

The GFS is on crack man.

Heading to DC this weekend for a conference with a flight scheduled back to Chicago for 3 PM on Sunday. 

Thoughts if I should move it earlier or try to get out late Saturday?

Really seems like this is going to be a biggie for the DC area or nothing (crazy 48 hours out, it's like my Chicago storms when the Lake plays a factor!)

The GFS is an evil entity. There are little men in the machine who read our every post and adjust the forecast accordingly to incite maximum pain and suffering. That machine and its ensemble are menaces and are not to be trusted.

 

Can't wait for the Euro.

Curious what the 00z GFS-AI has. anybody got details?

You will be fine. You will either have rain or smoking cirrus if I had to bet. My WAG is a breezy winter day. You should have come 2 months from now for the Cherry blossom's instead.

Is this about snow or whether you ordered the code red. 

[bncho]

I rushed the Pivotal Weather GEFS, there's a few more inches

I need to drive my kid back to Virginia Tech Sunday and then turnaround and drive back home. I live north of Baltimore, fwiw. The one time I need the GFS to be on crack !!!!

[Solution Man]

Who’s got the com for euro?

[NVAwx]

My point a click says 39 degrees and rain/snow mix for Sunday. What am I missing?

The 3am update

[bncho]

No BECS for the metros, but there are A LOT of 10+" hits.

Define early....we will also be coming back from WV.  I am thinking we should plan to be home by 11

Ha. Been the last few years (was beautiful). Just a quick weekend conference, DC in February was not my first choice!

Whats the timing of this looking? May split the difference and try for an earlier morning flight.
