  1. If Wes isnt impressed, I dont know what you all are chasing.
  2. I'm just glad that CWGs forecast of 1-8" for mby was accurate.
  3. 3" here. Had some PL mixing in, but heavier returns are overhead again and SN is the predominate precip type again.
  4. way to ruin the snow cover in your neighborhood. awful neighbor.
  5. Stop looking at models and just enjoy what's happening or happened outside your window.
  6. Based on orientation of the bands and the trajectory of the stuff that needs to come in over the top from the west, you can already see where heavier totals will be located from Rte 50 and north.
  7. Yeah, by 15Z, DCA is at -1C at 700, which is less than ideal for snow. Should want something around -2/-3C or we're already mixing.
  8. 3K NAM is a bit better on the QPF front.....by 15Z, DCA is at .27". By 18Z, DCA is up to .5" and still holding the surface and 850s.
  9. Enough OPM talk..... 1) Current radar representation is kinda irrelevant for us. 2) Per the 0Z NAM, DC goes to sleet by 15Z, BWI by 16-17Z. 3) 0Z NAM is light on snow....less than .2" QPF at DCA by 15Z.
  10. 18z guidance seemed to move in a positive direction. Then, cwg posted that guidance was pointing downward [shrug].
  11. Really don't think the events are close at all. The area of 20-30" was much greater in 96.
  12. My personal top 5 is now: 1/96: was in southern PA with 3' totals and massive drifts. I'll most likely need to move to the country before experiencing this again. 2/10 part I 1/16 2/03 2/10 part II
  13. I thought they lowered 2/5/10. Had no idea 12/09 was lowered.
  14. This is great. It was a lot of fun staying up Friday night talking w folks here as the band's kept moving into the area from the se. Some of those bands were really great.
  15. Use this thread for storm pics or start another?
  16. 96 pawns 03 with coverage of totals aoa 2ft. Not even close.
  17. For the VA/WV/MD/PA areas, 96 likely covered more ground with 2-3'+ totals than any of those other storms. Temps with 96 were also impressive. And the drifts were insane. This is a good read if you're into how that storm came to be, totals, etc. http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/assessments/pdfs/bz-mrg.pdf
