We can sacrifice him for 33 and rain...

1st Amendment doesn't apply to a private forum, genius.

This exactly, and if you were comparing the same thing, you'd see that the NWS never forecast a 1+ foot snowfall. Their forecasts and discussions have consistently mentioned the possibility of the storm missing our area to the south. Wx53 is right that the models can be wrong. That's why the forecasters don't simply forecast what the models show. They digest them as one data point in their forecasting process.

Mike has been very good with this storm from the get go. He was preaching caution when we saw the big runs, and focusing on the strength of the upper low.

Let PSU start a new thread for his storm. Ji brings bad juju.

I ended up with 5.25" in N. Bethesda, bringing the yearly total up to 14.5". Hoping to add to it next week.

We've got 4.75 in North Bethesda. Calling it a night.

4" in N. Bethesda. Hell of a way to run a bust...

31.2 with light rain.

MoCo just joined the 2-hour delay party.

I was perplexed they hadn't dialed back the temp forecast. For the last 24 hours, none of the meso models I saw had us getting past the low 50s (if that).

Ended up with .78" of rain yesterday. That finally did in the last of the snow on the deck after 25 days of snow cover.

Low of 7.1 in N. Bethesda

Got down to 10 here.

Flurries in N. Bethesda. I've now seen snow falling on 40% of the days this month.
