    I have a gut feeling we'll over-perform. Sucks that we miss out on coast-to-coast winter advisories.

    TBH though, we do evolve. There were a lot of things done decades ago that were acceptable that we look back on and can see why we don't do those things anymore. I'm sure there were a lot more accidents and deaths back then too which probably drives our actions today. I'm sure there is data somewhere that has suggested we change how we handle weather. I'm sure insurance companies would love to sit down and chat about risk. lol

    Thank our country's litigious society. If parents are forced to come in to register and one family gets into a bad accident on a patch of ice, well..... Even if there is no lawsuit, that's just bad for the program. Also, school systems would rather err on the side of caution than to get calls about some injury from some kid slipping on ice or children stranded somewhere on that one road that hasn't been cleared 100%.

    At this point in our recent climo, anything over 12" would be historical. On this board, I think anything over 18" would be Biblical. Major would be 6-12. I got close to 10" and my school system has been out for 4 days. I'd call that major. You would also have to factor in the cold I guess. How long does the snow hang around to impact an area.

    I love any snowfall that turns the grey road slush white.

    If WV was a lake, would we get lake effect snows during these cold shots? Asking for a friend.

    I know. I fell for the 38" snow map for DC. We need to be treated for lack-of-snow anxiety.

    A lot of these old water mains too!

    I was about to ask the same. I had to look to confirm it said 2m. That cold will make you cough when you inhale. I experienced negative temps ONCE in my life. While visiting Anderson, IN. My car therm read -2. It was a BMW. Didn't know they went below zero. lol

    Are these models having a bad day? What's with the weird jagged edges in Georgia and the Carolinas?
  11. adelphi_sky
    It is interesting that from the last storm, models were wavering like windshield wipers. With this storm, the are more certain. Is this an easy or normal pattern?

    Looks like someone got too happy with their magic eraser.

    Wow. I left yesterday evening after reading panels of 38" for DC and a beautiful bowling ball vort. This morning, we're lucky to get 5". I love this hobby!

    If I recall correctly, isn't there a category system for winter storms? Or just names?
  15. adelphi_sky
    Yeah. Wisp was nice. I may return this winter with the kiddos.

    I look at it this way. Think of Star Wars when the targeting systems in the X-Wing fighter try to lock on to a target. It swings back and forth until it locks on. Both fighters are moving. Same with the models. A lot of things moving and the models are trying to lock onto a solution.

    Just left Wisp with steady light snow and 21 degrees. Here in Cumberland on the way back to DC. 30 and flurries. Carrying some snow back on the van. May not last though

    I am at the Wisp resort. I just decided on a whim to take a look as I have never been to Wisp. Had no idea there would be a lot of snow. The guy at the dest said 8 inches. I hope they clear roads good up here. I have an eye appointment in College Park tomorrow afternoon.

    Hard to see the individual flakes. But it was snowing moderately to hard at the tubing hill. The road pic was on my way in and it had just started snowing.

    Here in McHenry, Md scoping out the Wisp Ski resort to see if I want to take the kids. Got here about an hour ago. Winter Storm Warning pinged on my GPS for the area. Got here before the heavy snow. Right now heavy snow and 28 degrees. Not bad for 2.5 hours from DC.

    It would be so cool to get highs into the single digits! Pun intended!
  22. adelphi_sky
    The guy who cried WOOF!

    Would be nice to track something while off of work! Let's go!

    ANother dry day in the 70s/80s. I'm sure all the construction projects in the area are loving the calm weather streak. Pretty sure they are making great progress. Especially road crews.

    WHat's that white stuff in the sky? The end? Armageddon?
