Man we have got to get a legit el niño in here (one that actually works unlike 2018-19). Can't take this mess anymore. I haven't been in a deep snow for 5 years, and DC, S. MD have has had two healthy sliders give them 8-12" in that time period...while my yard has gotten skunked with 4.5" (2019) and 1.5" (Jan 3rd this year) respectively. ....Snow that covers everything is nice to look at. And last year's light stuff (can't remember whether that was Feb or March) was nice scenery, and I enjoyed it more. It's just...getting that deep snow is a different kind of high. And I'm starving for it because it's been so long since I've seen a foot. Never gone this long without a foot in my brief lifetime--usually 3-4 years in between one-footers, and 6-7 in between two-footers. Maybe next year is year #7 and we get something (I hope). But this has been a mentally draining stretch where things just haven't lined up right. I had written this winter off at the beginning because it was a nina...then I got sucked back in when I heard we had an stj. But lesson learned--there are two many ns vorts flying around in a nina. Too hard to get anything more than a few inches. I hope we get niño next year--at least then we have a better chance at a Miller A.

For my area I hate having to rely on those NS front end deals...because for some reason we always end up dry...or at least, that's how it happened last year. WAA came, bands west and east.

Well technically you would know they got a foot because you'd hear it on the news...lol I remember before I was tracking I'd hear about an area just north and or east/south of here I'd be frustrated

This part here--I can tell ya that will not make it any better...trust me. The more misses between the hits, the more angst there is tracking the next one.

Yeah at least that'll get some closer to (or above for DC) climo...not a terrible consolation prize I suppose

It never really progressed today Thought folks were saying 18z was better?

Even if the Euro looks like 12z or even better...gonna be hard to trust it until the GFS gets on board (sheesh...GFS progresses all day and then it craps the bed)

I was about to say...there certainly looked to be more to come...and many areas were already at a warning level, lol

It's the NAM's fault...too slow for our attention spans

Nah it's running on Amtrak Wifi (just imagine how slow it would be on there, lol)

If it not be too much trouble...could you or someone point out this ns feature that could help us? (I have trouble deciphering what I'm looking at on the H5)

Uh-oh...the usually collected kmlwx now secretly wants the bad posters to get skunked out of pure spite...lol

Wow a nina NS piece helping us? That would be a record, lol What happens then if that trends stronger?

Seriously epic, lol

You mean December 2009 or December 9th? Lol

Snow macaroni? Well that would be an interesting dish...

That was a next level stealth "I'm still here" post...very well done, lol

Your caption just went full-on HM...lol

Incremental improvements. Ha...it's doing what the Euro used to do: trend better inch by inch, lol

While that can be a risk, I can't see us coming from too far east to TOO far west, lol That would be weird to see that kind of jump, imo

Yeah and even the gfs, not nearly as good earlier, I thought trended closer to the others and certainly didn't go the opposite way (pending 18z of course, lol). Doesn't feel like a step back day...but we shall see!

So if nothing else the NAM gave us something to look for in other guidance...will be interesting to see if anything else trends that way!

Ya know...this doesn't feel like a step back day for some reason. So far nothing has trended AWAY from the Euro...and instead moved towards it. But we shall see...

Ding Ding! Just after that transitional section where he dramatically takes us from the dark into a bright blaze of triumphant C Major glory! P.S. This is my alarm clock every morning, lol

In the NAM's case that looked like a better track period...like by the last panel the low wasn't even at our latitude, was it?
