I just think the “differences” we’re talking about are because of land vs ocean snow maps more so than the models being all that far apart. If this storm was a cutter we probably wouldn’t even notice it lol.

I’m gonna NEED someone to promise me this isnt going to be another case where we spent a week tracking, got excited, convinced ourselves this might be different, then watch Philly get 20” while we get 3” of slop. I need that right now. 

Your mountain doesnt work anymore in this Nina dominated climate. Get a second place in S DE. Blizzards galore!

Classic.  Shadow and energy transfer issues.

That's exactly what's going to happen.  I thought we were clear from the beginning.

I want to see some videos. Boardwalk and beach, and Rehoboth Ave. I have some epic photos/vids from my 2 chases down there.

How long did it take ya to get freed, if someone was hypothetically considering it

His yard will maximize whatever moisture that area gets. The elevation and a couple degrees colder does it most of the time.

You could very well be right. A hop skip and a jump right over us to the ocean. Typical Miller B.

You got it. After my Tug chase it's going to be hard to get pumped but as soon as the wind blows ill be pumped lol. I'm going to be in Fenwick so I'm not sure I'll go down to the boardwalk. I'll have lots of coastal hwy shots and beach shots!

The 4-6 area near the metros is too broad but otherwise that looks good sans the mountain areas you already highlighted.

I’m hoping to much of the same here. He’s remind me of your elevation? @psuhoffman 950, 1050?

Here’s the thing, I need to decide whether to come home a day early. Here’s my bars. Less than 6” and I’ll be really really pissed I bothered to come home. 6-10 I’ll call it even. 10+ I’d be super pissed I didn’t come home. Help me make a decision lol.

The first one I was out the next day. Second one was more of a legit blizzard and I stayed a second night. Nothing was open. Hotel Rehoboth has the free breakfast but also fed us dinner for free. There were like 7 people total staying there lol. That's a great Hotel. Half the price or less now compared to Summer. DFH is across the street and up the avenue a bit. Less than 5 mins.
