Life is good. I don't know about getting 6" man...these runs have Baltimore barely at warning level and we need to get lucky with that IVT and get rates and that's a proposition we've lost on many times. We are fortunate to be in the game at all this late in a nina February. BUT...to your other point about the epic glacier? YES. That to me is looking to be the pinnacle of the winter unless something crazy happens tomorrow. That was truly remarkable...a 6.5 inch snowfall paralyzed the city for a week as if it were two feet. Bulldozers required. That is already a HUGE bonus for a Nina. I do need to remember that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accordion my to the snow contest totals, BWI can't get more than 13" of additional snow this season. Sorry, that's just how it shakes out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just are actually good for sanity. Tonight is a good time to get some rest now that I think of it. Arguably better prep for tomorrow than staring at models until your eyes spiral. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wxtrix Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago 13 minutes ago, lazywxwatcher said: First post. Long time lurker and previous member of other weather forums. Writing from Lancaster, PA - right in the middle of the county. Tough forecast here but seems NWS has it about correct at 6-12" but could still boom or bust depending on the western edge of the deformation band early Monday. Our low guidance is about 6" Euro and high is about 16-20" on short range NAM/RAP/HRRR. The latter three all rotate bands deep into PA as the storm bombs out. Hope you DC-Balto folks get your snow. Seems a broad 3-8" but lots of boom or bust scenarios down that way as well. First obs: 31.3 here, dpt29. Clear skies. Will prob climb late with some mixing and cloud cover. oh thank God. i have been fretting all day not knowing what the weather was going to be in Pennsylvania. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demeter Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Yeah, I wish I was going to see more snow, but this is a fun one to watch evolve. I’m excited to see what kind of beast this storm turns into. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinceFrederickWx Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Excuse my ignorance, but what does “getting Raleigh’d” mean? I keep seeing this phrase on here now- seems to mean getting screwed out of snow somehow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raleigh was modeled to get hit pretty good, but they got fringed on both the ULL snow and the coastal. Think they still ended up with several inches, but east and west got it much better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexD1990 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Really not trying to make light of it, but WTF is a "state of preparedness"? Lol why not just do a state of emergency? @Eskimo Joe are you able to shed any light on this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I just looked it up. It's not a euphemism, it's a phased approach. There's still a SOE. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago I'd love a blizzard, but I'd be very happy with 6 hours tomorrow evening of below freezing temps, moderate snow, and lots of wind. If I end up with six or more inches of snow, I'd be thrilled. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest issue seems to be if one or two model runs showed 20" of snow then disappointment takes over when it changes to 4-8. There have been 4 storms at least this season that Central Va was bullseyed for double sis it inches and the most we've has has been like 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
