So the MA snowstorm tracking book is written and follows along like this.
Chapter 1: 1 million PATTERN IS GREAT posts, no storm
Chapter 2: Models have day 10 storm but everyone is jaded and caveats apply
Chapter 3: One model sniffs it out 5 days ahead(usually with an unrealistic run)
Chapter 4: Other models slowly catch on and trends are attempted to be made
Chapter 5: People freak over fringed and suppression and how snow maps don't repeat the same totals from ONE run
Chapter 6: Many of the burned know whats coming but stay quiet or try to temper things because too amped/too wrong a track spells doom for fall line east
Chapter 7: models start to shit the bed except for usual areas
Chapter 8: models hone in on track and amounts
Chapter 9: Same areas get what they always do when they didn't need to fret one damn bit
Chapter 10: DC rains when all is said and done because thats what it does
We are in chapter 7
Calling it now. The one EPS member that was over Fairfax, VA and skewed the temps will be the 12z operational. And then this place will die. Or maybe the most east member. Not sure. Wish there was a way to figure this stuff out.
The same people fretting over suppression and ridge trough stuff don't realize that by wanting more amped and tucked means people like you/me then start dealing with r/s issues more. So wishing for 30" clown maps means its more feast/famine for other areas.
I honestly rather have a total area wide 6" event than you and me getting 2" slop and Westminster 14" cold smoke. Why can't people just be happy with a uniform blanket? My god, the last 3 years have just sucked for most. This storm would crush whats fallen for me. When DCA gets 0.3" and its HALF of last year then a 6" storm is like dating Bella Hadid.
glad to see that yesterday's unrealistic snow maps caused unrealistic expectations and now from one realistic 0z euro run people are being unrealistic about what a good snow is.
I'll take a 4" snow. FFS.
I don't get what you are saying? Are you trying to tell me that whats shown now, today, this day of January, the 26th at 2:34pm, might NOT happen in 5 days?
