    Thought the 12z GFS might have been trying to cook something up at 186-ish, but the southern energy slid off the coast before the energy out west could eject east. Still...Nino is absolutely starting to flex.

    By modeling a spire in the EPO domain that brings us air directly from the Santa's backyard.

    Holy EPO...

    No doubt. Plenty of available cold air, Nino doing its thing...can't help but like the chances with that.

    I'm getting the tingles just watching the 12z GFS play out and imagining it when climo becomes just a bit more favorable.

    I love seeing a cold push followed by precip breaking out over Texas that's oriented SW-NE. 12z GFS is doing that at D12 and is a look that could really be fruitful even a couple weeks later.

    That's insane! I'm a little over 12 miles from DCA and a little over 15 miles from Dulles as the crow flies. Dulles is much more representative of snowfall for me, but theirs is usually a little higher than mine. DCA? Nah...not representative. What I remember most about both 13-14 and 14-15 was my wife and I standing on our deck enjoying the evening snows while we hoped against hope that our first daughter wouldn't wake up.

    Had no idea there was even a thread. Searched and didn't find it...kind of like snow last year.

    Got inspired after looking at the thread from 2013-2014 and also noticed there wasn't one for last year (that would heave been a fun one ). Figured we should get one up now that some of our favored friends have gotten their first measurable for the season and the post-Thanksgiving period looks to have a little potential for more of us in the region!

    Was just poking around LWX yearly snow totals and was shocked (and not shocked) to see that Dulles got ~20" more than DCA in 2013-2014 and 2014-2015. Threw BWI in the below for the whole picture (apologies for the formatting). I went back and found my post from late March 2014 that said I reached 50" on the year IMBY. Reading through that 2013-2014 snow totals thread was fun...lots of amazing totals! DCA IAD BWI 2013-2014 32.0 52.8 39.0 2014-2015 18.3 36.9 28.7

    Losing snow on the margins. Typical…
  12. mattie g
    Didn’t you say you got about an inch in the last week or so?

    Aside from one or two blips, the GFS has been "seeing" Thanksgiving cold in our backyards for quite a few days in a row now. Interesting to see the GGEM come around to a GFS look now, which would fit with what we've been seeing in the longer term recently (GFS being more accurate at range) should it come to pass. I'd rather not freeze my arse off while cooking the turkey on my Big Green Egg, but I guess it sets a mood and is a far cry from the recent Thanksgivings we've spent in HHI!

    I'm bothered by warming climate - you're right about that - but I'm more bothered by your constant droning on about it. It's gotten old already. Also, "meteorological winter" begins in 2.5 weeks, but who here expects us to put up "winter-type" dailies beginning on December 1? <thumbs up>

    There are only so many ways you can say that DC sucks for snow and it takes a special seasonal setup to get good a truly good winter. We all know it, but there's just always so much hand-wringing and focusing on the negative. I'm not suggesting it should be ignored and not discussed, but it's just constant negativity nowadays.

    I truly despise this place sometimes.
  17. mattie g
    Because...EJ.

    Please don't keep doing this all winter (by the way, it's still early-fall, in case you haven't noticed).
  20. mattie g
    Yup. Shelf turd for quite a few months after release, but then it gets a little harder to find. I always kick myself for not getting more when its around because I start jonesing for it once fall hits.

    I need to stock up on BCBS this year. Beer geeks sh*t on them because the "sold out" to Goose Island, but it's simply one of the best and most reliable BA stouts around. My best friend has a huge stash of BA beers (including BCBS) that he needs to offload due to not being able to drink much anymore. He reached out and asked if I want a bunch of them...definitely need to take him up on the offer.

    I've never been to a funeral at which they play MIDI files, but I guess it happens.
  23. mattie g
    Right? That's how I felt. It was barely noticeable for a few hours and then it came pouring back. Eventually came back to what I would consider 100% after maybe a week or so.
  24. mattie g
    Yup. I don't need big blocking. Just get me some cold air delivery and I'll be happy with a fast-moving system that throws precip over that cold. I think I see a hint of split flow on that EPS image, as well.

    Haha...awesome! What's crazy is that I was thinking about how you were doing just earlier today and was going to ask!
