Got it…and that’s kind of what I figured. Given that I’m sitting at about 75% of climo at this point, I’m fine with being patient until discrete threats for MBY come into reliable range. Good thing is that we don’t really have to wait long. If a threat looks to miss, there should be another one on its heels that we can keep our eyes on.
-
It doesn’t because I don’t have the weather memory so many of you have. All I remember is that it was cold and we had a never ending series of vorts flying around the PV that gave us shots at snow. I wish I had been keeping notes on our snows back then…
-
All I looked for in the Icon was any trend to the NW, and we got it. That’s a good start to 12z.
-
But it’s run from the same initial conditions as the op, and the fact they generally resemble each others’ results (excepting snow totals) on day 5 can’t be ignored.
-
What about when it reaches normal snowfall?
-
Plenty surprised that all surfaces are still white here in my corner of Burke; even the street (plowed at 10:00 last night) is still covered. Should be plenty of melt today, but that’s totally fine by me.
-
It sounds cliche, but there are so many windows within this window, but we don’t even know exactly when those windows will open. Vorts flying around all over the place, cold air, dogs and cats living together…it’s a pretty fun, weeks-long ride, and it’s really just started.

F5 on The Mall?

Plain English (Middle or Modern), please?

Wind is blowing the heavy rain against my daughter’s window as we read together. Misery and joy. I’ll take the joy!
-
Yeah…can’t sniff at basically hitting climo by the middle of January with three snows in a couple weeks. Great period for these parts, even if today was a bit of a letdown after the buildup. I think I lucked into holding onto the mids for an extra bit because just before the flip it was absolutely pouring snow for about 30-45 minutes. Think I added close to an inch in that last burst.
-
32 with some sleet and freezing rain mix in Burke, but readying for the washout. Jesus…that radar looks ugly. Didn’t get a chance to measure before the flip at about 5:15, but I’m pretty confident in a final tally of 3”.
-
I couldn’t care less that the ops are showing a suppressed storm. Actually, I prefer it, and felt exactly the same for today’s thing. Lots of time for things to play out…and no need for a thread.
-
Temp dropped to 24 with moderate snow in Burke.
-
I mean…it’s not rocket science, but cold temps help so much to help everything stick from the onset. We’ve got a pixie-dust car topper/mulch topper/road topper in Burke so far.
-
First pixie flakes in Burke and torching at 25F.

How about lighten up?
-
Me lighten up?
-
How about don’t post them? There’s one every other post, so you can’t but help read them, and they all say the same thing.
-
The town name jokes are dumb. Please stop.
-
It’s dumb because all it does it cause heartache and meltdowns among a large group of certain posters if it ends up failing. And all that does is muck the place up and get people arguing again. There’s nothing wrong with - and I’d argue it’s much better - discussing a six-day yonder threat window in this thread. If we get within four days and it’s still looking good, then fire up a thread. My opinion and all, of course.
-
0z Euro has a bit of a transient block, which is the best we can ask for up top right now, so I’m going to remain incredibly jittery unless we can get this thing under four days. For the next few days, I want to see this thing ocsillate between a decent hit and sliding south. This this has a few runs of going too far NW and it’s light out for those of us in the corridor.
-
Forget it. We already see the back side of this upcoming pattern.
-
So you’re saying misery loves company? I have to agree.
-
You need snowcover for that, silly.
