Wait wha? Hope you're being sarcastic...

Too late...lol

Oof...the WSW drought continues (for now)...kinda, lol I'd imagine with even with a backend of the backend of the ccb, Baltimore should get to 5 inches, you'd think...

So...do we have an STJ element to this one?

Thanks for that post @Bob Chill. I think your learning method explains how non-mets can still gain a lot of knowledge in weather. Sounds like you are a more visual person, no? (i.e. your sandwich analogy, lol) I tend to be when it comes to learning things (auditory learning as well)...but if you can learn weather by "seeing" per se...that gives me some confidence that I can as well!

Man I am so thankful I was not yet following this board or weather models back then...this would've felt even worse!! (I was already bummed about the miss...but I had no idea just how close we were to having something, lol) But this is my biggest evidence for why not to expect a big snow outside of our prime climo (mid-Jan through President's Day)...these fluky fails happen more then, lol

I'm sorry but Canada is disqualified for this storm and needs to sit in timeout! Lol

Better to take a class so you can ask questions...I'd be bugging the more knowledgeable posters here even more, lol

I'd be tempted not to track this one because I'm mentally exhausted, but...perhaps if this has a southern component we have a better chance? Maybe?

I have grown to dislike snowfall maps...especially outside of maybe Day 3 or so...bad for the snow weenie psyche, lol Btw I did NOT get hung up on those by any stretch (when it showed a foot here I only half believed it then). But I, as a weather layperson, do find the pressure/thickness charts, vorticity, and other more complex maps harder to understand.

Listen, again...all I wanted to know was what could cause what. What made snow more or less likely in this setup. I knew about what Miller B's tend to do...maybe I should've asked more why this one would be different from previous Miller B fails than why it would work. Oh but that's right...I guess that's too detailed a question to ask on here, smh I'm afraid to ask anymore questions now...apparently I've been obnoxious. Not sure why I'm being singled out when there are far worse posters than me on here.

Is this also what caused the WAA to bust low?

Dang...I thought 4-6" from the WAA was a bit more secure (was never betting on much from the coastal)...but we're gonna struggle to get to 4" at this rate!

Well today has been a bit underwhelming, so...it makes sense, lol

So then why mention this? Lol

This was probably the lesson I pulled from this...all my apparently obnoxious questions did get me more info to remember for later...Not just NWP, but climo in expectations...makes sense. If it ain't worked before, take any NWP with a huge grain of salt. But had I not asked, wouldn't have known. But maybe I can't ask anymore, I guess...

Nam doesn't show much...more like the usual Miller B hole and some light snow

Well...do we really know? Thought the WAA was until tonight?

You're having wind? I'm not outside so I can't quite see from the window, but...it doesn't seem that windy on my end.

You'd think I'm one of the most obnoxious posters on here...smh Yeah I ask a lot of questions and have learned a lot...but dang it what the heck is wrong with trying to get as much detail as you can with something so you know better what possibilities are more/less likely? Setting expectations...I like to out mine in the most reasonable place possible. So whatever details I can know beforehand...the better. I don't think I've been as bad as others on here like...at all. @Bob Chill You read me a little wrong: this time around my repeated questions were to get to understanding of what possibilities to expect with this complicated setup...not so much from anxiety (although I've had that...spend too much time on this board this week). I didn't understand the Miller B/possible hybrid setup for this time, and what would make it more or less likely to work. That's literally all I wanted to know. Don't get me wrong...I've learned a lot from you, PSU, others. And even this time I'm learning about basing expectation on previous climo. I don't know anymore what questions are good or bad to ask, since apparently that's a thing. I'd rather not get plastered in front of everybody...maybe I'll ask my questions to folks privately...or not at all, I don't know.

It would be awesome if that's what it means!

Wha? I just wanna know what to expect/not expect, that's all...not sure why you're condescending. Now, what I didn't know was what you said about the proximity--50-70 miles of here...so it can go anywhere in that zone? I gotcha...so that's the possibility. See I wasn't sure how far or how close ya had to be to it (because I'm still learning) I had assumed since the NAM was showing what it did, that getting more than an inch or two from the coastal was kinda off the table, so what the globals showed was a tad surprising. But if the possibility is still there, great. All the more reason 6-10" was a good call, lol

Yeah same...tiny pixie dust here

Oh yeah? So Baltimore City still in the running for the ccb? Thought the NAM killed that idea, lol

This qualifies for Top 10 post of the year, lol
