  1. Why look at a storm 11 days away when the models are jumping all over the place on this first one? There is very little chance they have the second storm even close to right yet.
  2. I’m ok with super deep cold and dry versus this mild weather like we have upcoming.
  3. Prime climo for snow for this region is now the month of March. It hardly ever snows December and January any more.
  4. Don't worry, the snow will all be gone soon and then you can disappear again.
  5. I would describe this snow as more like the tar from an emphysemic smoker's lungs after a three pack a day habit for 40 years... but yeah still awesome.
  6. Models often overdo the "second phase" of these events. and the HRRR/RAP at range are really suspect. Based on radar, things are winding down, could be some bursts here and there, sure. Great event. So often things are boom or bust around here. Always nice to get a "standard" 4-6 inch snowstorm for the area. Like your grandpa used to frequently enjoy from DEC 1 to MAR 1 before our climate was apparently screwed up. LOL
  7. SREFs have burned us many times. They can appear to be very stubborn which makes it seem that they have caught on to some trend ahead of the other models, but then it turns out they are just crap and were way off the whole time. People also forget to take out the outliers (high and low) to produce the mean. There are some real garbage members in there (various ARW - Always Really Wet and NMM - Never Much Moisture runs) that always mess up the mean.
  8. Figures Chuck would be hugging the RAP. Fits the mental profile.
  9. You always do well. Snow starts early and ends late.
  10. The forecast of 8-12 for DCA is a joke. They MIGHT record 5 or 6. Of course, just outside the airport could definitely verify those numbers.
  11. Of course you start snowing before many other people. Just as predicted. It won't stop snowing there until Monday. Fringe city!
  12. Is this really a cold powder storm at this point? It's not that cold.
  13. That LWX snow map is a little odd. Seems to shortchange southern MD a bit. DC won't get a foot if those areas are screwed.
  14. Fringe gang deathband building as usual. Sparky will have 4 inches on his deck by dusk.
  15. No man can predict what the NAM will do. It obeys no one or no law.
  16. Models are playing catch up. The warning snows will be across the entire CWA by the time all is said and done.
  17. LWX in catch-up mode is always a good sign for snow.
  18. I would take the globals and smooth out the precip maps on them. They aren't going to be too good at nailing anything too specific in that regard. Snow max could end up anywhere from RIC to Mason/Dixon line.
  19. 4-6 is reasonable for Baltimore unless the Euro craps the bed.
  20. Worries of mixing down south is great news. Keep them coming!
