It's happening

I just love this field. We can't figure out exactly what will happen 2-3 days away, but we certainly know what's coming 2-3 weeks away.

If all you ever do is worry about the future, you'll never enjoy the present. Live in the moment. Create memories you can fondly look back on

A delightful wintry week! Snow sticks around for a few more days, then we deal with whatever comes next. Soak this week in, it's been wonderful!

100% with you. This week has been a delight. Snow covering everything for a week and lots of cold. Snow on Snow.

I'm hopeful there will still be snow on the ground when it arrives so a fresh 2-4 LOOKS like a bit more haha

Idk when the Georgetown jokes will get old, but it certainly isn't today

Any official reports from the airports?

Ended up with 4.5 around Parkville. Curious to find out what the BWI official measurement is.

Is the rippage anywhere near Baltimore City?

Checks out

It will. Winter will take a break next week and then come running back onto the field

I'm loving this event, but I'm really hoping this is accurate when it applies to the first half of February! Let this be the beginning!

Thanks for the advice for the pics! Parkville, Baltimore County.

Side note, how do you guys attach your pics in here. I've tried and every pic I took with my phone today it's saying are too large to attach. Just normal phone camera

Beggars can't be choosers. I'm glad we should finally have a wintry week. Snow showers today. Possible light, steady snow Monday night/Tuesday(maybe first inch in years), another possible threat Friday. Very cold all week. It does look like it gets mild the following week, I'm not sure how long that's expected to last, but I'll enjoy whatever presents itself this week.

How many more "Onto the next one" do we have in us before April arrives?

This has been a wild thing to track. For several days the Euro and its ensembles were the only ones showing this. The moment the GFS jumped on, the Euro said "Imma head out." Now the GFS is slipping away. It would be too fitting if this is when the Euro gets back on. If the Euro stays off, though, we may be seeing the correct trend.

Just seems like the entire discussion has switched to just hoping we can turn things around the last week of January and into February

So are we now just completely writing off any potential next week? 24 hours after saying it was loaded with potential? What are we doing in here?

Should I actually be considering leaving work early tomorrow, let's say around 3 PM, as opposed to around 6 PM? I usually would never even consider it for a rainstorm but I keep seeing so much about how nasty it supposedly will be in the evening

Also, BWI has NEVER went 8 consecutive winters UNDER 20 inches of snow. We've gone 7 years, twice. 1970/71-1976/77 And the current 2016/17-2022/23 So yeah, if we stay under 20 this winter, it'll be the first time since records have been kept that it's happened.

I'm not in "panic" mode at all. I am in a lousy mindset tonight so I thought why not vent here. Just getting a little tired of hearing "Just wait until..." Yada Yada. I heard it all of December. Just wait until the end of December/beginning of January, things are going to flip! Yet, here we are, in the midst of a week long stretch approaching mid-January with THREE rainstorms. Frankly, I still firmly believe Baltimore will see a 6+ inch snowfall this winter. Mainly just because even in this hellscape of a period were entrenched in, I still don't think we go 8 full winters without a 6 inch snowfall. I refuse to believe that will happen, unless it does happen, then I'll cry myself to sleep later on in March when the reality is cemented in LOL

I'm surprised some of you are already just writing off the period around next weekend. It feels like the models haven't come close to figuring out exactly how it'll play out, particularly with all this action in the week leading up to it.

I can only speak for myself, of course, but any legit cold would only raise my morale. I'm a winter lover all the way through.
