I can see the appeal, but the argument that I was making is that big storms seem to kick good patterns out of the area faster. Take a look at Jan 2016. Solid event, but 3 days later we're roasting and the snow is melting off fast.
-
Yea it seems like we want to "sacrifice" this storm to set the table.
-
To be honest, I'd trade a lone 3 foot blizzard for several 6" - 10" events and normal/below normal temps. Getting on big storm and watching it melt in 5 days is boring. Let's get and maintain a snowpack for once.

@brooklynwx99 with the early morning dirty talk.
-
Yea, would make 2016 look like nothing.
-
Yea, as @Bob Chill said. Big high to the NW and even Ian on Twitter is liking the potential. Next two to three weeks could be really interesting. Peak climo for cold temps too.

12z GFS w/ 41" at IAD, 33" at DCA, 29" at BWI in the long range. Somehow, Ji will scoff at this, but holey moley am I excited about the next three weeks. Could be an epic time. Haven't been this optimistic since 2009 - 2010.

Despite full sun, temps are riding the struggle bus. Only 26 and we've probably peaked for the day.
-
Some of the snow loss is due to sublimation from the dry, cold air. We see that with really fluffy dry snow.
-
-
Yea the HRRR and RAP were too dry across the board. When that early band was putting down 1"/hr rates along I-81 the RAP still had no snow.
-
Storm total of M5.5" New Windsor at 6:00 am.
-
If this system was just a bit more organize and juiced, some folks would've probably hit double digits. No worries though, we went from 60s this past Sunday to two snow events. Not too shabby.
-
GFS scores another win. It seems to out perform the Euro and UKMET with these northern stream systems.
-
We got alerted for a call at the fire department then canceled so I'm up writing the paperwork.
-
Starting in the DC suburbs. I'm off to bed. Enjoy the snow.
-
Gaithersburg airport has the ceiling dropping and better returns overhead. Should be snowing within the hour across most of Montgomery County.
-
Yea it's picked up dramatically in New Windsor. Legit moderate snow. Everything getting covered now, even the roads getting slushy.

Last couple of radar frames starting to show a Washington/Frederick band setting up and the snow hole closing on the closer DC/Baltimore suburbs.
