Wish Ray's Winter Storm Archive went further than 2012-2013. Hard to find comprehensive documentation of past storms after that.

Oh man do you have a link for this? I used to have this exact radar for the NYC area until I got a new laptop and lost my bookmarks. Actually I think it was Philly because it gave a better vantage of what was to come.

Wow I must have kind of ignored that one because it didn't register up north. After 2016-2017 NYC wasn't the greatest spot to be in, but it still beat the worst winters around here. It's weird because Jason from the Capital Weather Gang said this would be the first significant snow since 2016...I did a double take when he said that tbh, didn't sound right. Maybe I'm missing the context though.

10" where? In DC? I was up in NY then so trying to put the pieces together.

Haha yeah seems like a crazy coincidence. Glad we got it cleared up. Go HRDPS!

Ahhh I see. Ultimate irony because if I was still back there I'd be near the bullseye right now...Yeah I grew up in Ellicott City and moved to New York in 2013. I lost my job during covid and have been back here since. It's rough! I got used to those New York winters, felt like Christmas morning every few weeks up there. Then again, I'm very used to this pain. Been a weenie since fifth grade. Favorite storm easily is January 2000. I could tell just by looking at the radar (Bob Ryan was calling it) that we had a chance. But when I woke up, I'd totally forgotten about it until my dad poked his head in while I was brushing my teeth and said we had blizzard conditions outside.

No worries, just changed it. I was so confused!

Oh okay I see. Sorry all. Changing it now.

If that would make it okay for me to be here, no problem. I'm sorry, I just moved back here. I hope everyone gets their snow.

I offered one opinion on one model...I've posted here several times tonight and am clearly not a troll. I have no problem with any of you and all of you just jumped down my throat for what I think is a very objective take. I'll let you decide whether you think that's okay. But I'm not going anywhere.

Lol what? I live in Chevy Chase. Incredible hostility because I offered an opinion. Have fun!

Ah gotcha.

Huh? So basically if it's not aN AlL OuT BliZzaRd I shouldn't post? Roger that, cool community here.

Not a chance that these totals would produce south of Baltimore with the look of the GFS. No banding whatsoever to speak of.

You're in a good spot. DC and southwest, very close to getting fringed. There's really no banding so you can cut the QPF at least in half for snow totals.

This wouldn't surprise me at all.

The second February storm was a real treat. The cherry on top of what was already the most epic winter we'll ever see. I think we were forecast for 2-4 inches in the Ellicott City area, give or take, but then that band swept in like a curved pendulum and before we knew it we had another blizzard on our hands.

This looks a lot like PDII only a tad more north and not quite as amped.

Euro looks better tbh. Am I wrong? Axis has shifted east a little no?

This is one of the coolest f'in sites of all time: http://www.raymondcmartinjr.com/weather/

Huge, thanks!

Snowing decently in Chevy chase Bethesda. Weird because the radar looks very unimpressive up here...

The models all had it right. The mets just stuck to their guns like usual. I'll never forget March '17 when they called for 24-36 inches all the way through when it was painfully obvious that sleet would take over early.
