it seems like we have had blocking most of the year but its never really helped us.

Blocking doesn't do us much good unless it is in the right places.  There has been high latitude blocking, but usually in the wrong locations to be of any use to us.  We have finally gotten blocking in the right places in March, and we did finally get a storm, but unfortunately it was March and not January.  I know things did not come together perfect, but if it was January that would have been a 8-12" snowstorm for DC, and we would be looking at the potential for more in a different light also.

wow the overrunning event is very cold. Temps at below 32. If we can get that block to the west.......for the main event

looks nice but it's over like 30 hours. not sure i can believe in that.

we do well with overrunning...except we havent had an overunning event in like 12 years

Think we prob still need rates during the day at least even if it is cold. But it's something

At least it's not some quick hitting noon-6 deal. I just was to break the 2" streak and not do the walk of shame going into next year. I mean seriously. We are absolutley dining at the 24hr all you can eat WTF buffet. People in MS and AL are laughing at us.

those are some crap rates for 6 hour periods but the stuff at night could stick to the grass etc at least.

So, now the first event looks better and the second event looks like crap.  We are losing our edge here folks.  Normally with 2 events on tap, we find a way for both events to get screwed up.  Lets's buckle down now.  :axe:

Okay, let's talk amounts. I'm saying 50-60 inches, a  conservative estimate, with more north and west of the city.

yea, they are some crap rates for sure. Worst of all it will likely be rain. Those temps are highly suspect at this point. But you never know. overunning is weird. Usually comes through in blobs of heavier/lighter. Maybe we get a big ole blob that drops .4 in 3 hours, break the streak, call it a season and move on.
