Its been a snowy January in western md. Skied early this morning before the crowds got crazy and got back home before the roads went to crap. Haven't seen roads this bad in a couple years up here. Not looking forward to the artic cold this week though.

I'm up at Deep Creek this weekend and we are getting hammered too. 3-4" so far? Awesome skiing. Roads are a mess though and lots of out of towners with FWD all seasons finding out the hard way.

Are ratings down though? These leagues dont care as long as the money and eyeballs keep coming in. Along with all the sports betting money. Multiple people watching with me said hand them the lombardi now, no point playing the next two games. People still watch WWE so i guess there is a market for scripted sports.

Whats the 10:1 map look like? I feel like everyone was using Kuchera or whatever map gave the most snow. I've rarely seen high ratio snows in central MD. Looking at the euro precip map, most of MD is in a .5-.75" band. To me, that tracks with what we've seen. I've got over 6" in Howard County and its still snowing.

Maybe 2" in ellicott city? Are we gonna get hosed?

Thats always a concern when they get the deathband and it dries us out 30 miles south. Just gotta hope it sets up right and we can cash in too.

The GRAF model he showed looked really close to the latest UKMET. Not sure who produces that model or if its something internal.

Tommy T on WBAL11 is hugging the GRAF model. 3-6 in MD, 6-9 DC south, 12" down near fredericksburg.

If i remember my history correctly this is how the civil war started.

Oh theres a couple in that thread.. especially the two lettered one from leesburg.

Everyone snorted the NAM cocaine and will be disappointed when we don't get 18" of non digital snow.

Remember when the JMA nailed that big storm back in 09/10? Yea, blind squirrel..

I think a lot of these snow maps are overdone based on the sleet/fzrn potentials. Feeling like 3-4" on a front end thump to snizzle is our low bar for the dc area. If the cold can hang on or get some coastal enhancement, those numbers can bump up. Probably some lollys in the favored higher elevation areas. The good news is whatever falls will be sticking around for awhile! Also the mountains look to cash in regardless, so we have options

There was a chance our return flight back into BWI was going to get cancelled because they were still digging out the runways. Everyone else I was with was excited we might get an extra day. Torture, thinking of all that glorious snow getting packed down and consolidated.
