    Damn right we loved snow growing up. Double Whammy January 1987 snowstorms and March 93 Superstorm got me into the hobby. The Internet allowed us to live our hobby in real time starting with tracking January 1996 blizzard.

    I’m fearful we’re going to pitch a near shutout. The only time things started this slowly and recovered in a big way was Feb. 11-12, 2006. One inch of snow in daytime followed by long lull, thunder snow breaking out midnight, wake up to find a foot of snow on ground and tree down on driveway.

    So jealous I will miss out since I left northern NJ four years ago. Boxing Day Blizzard 12/26/2010 was my all time favorite storm to track and here’s hoping this one exceeds it and approaches February 1978 levels.

    Why the difficulty in modeling storms in this pattern? Is it just an issue of new data ingested or something else?
  5. Jersey Andrew
    Roger, any similarities to this storm and Feb. 5-7, 1978 in terms of coastal snow and wind impacts?
  6. Jersey Andrew
    February 5-7, 1978. 2 inches in DC, 15 in Wilmington, DE. 27 in Boston.

    Can a knowledgeable met talk about February 11-12, 2006? If memory serves correctly, it was considered a long shot storm at first because it only had support from JMA. Was it Miller A, B, combo, or something else?
  8. Jersey Andrew
    Has DC area ever fared well in a Miller B setup such as this one? Looks like DT favors New England maybe NYC.
  9. Jersey Andrew
    Does this look like a Miller B 12/30/2000 deal?
  10. Jersey Andrew
    It looks like this system would bypass the Mid Atlantic states. Are you thinking NYC and Boston are best positioned for potential storm right now?
  11. Jersey Andrew
    Tip, do you think the DC metro area is in the mix for this potential monster?

    Blizzard of 1888 redux?

    Which would also be the 100 year anniversary of the Knickerbocker Storm of 1922 which blew roof off DC Theater killing dozens of people.

    It’s supposedly the largest documented storm to hit DC and Virginia. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson claimed in their diaries that snow reached a depth of 3 feet region wide. Hard to verify this though.

    The Boxing Day Blizzard. I was living in northern New Jersey at the time, and if I remember correctly it was the 12z GFS on 12/24 which provided a miracle after many had given up. Awesome storm 20 inches of snow!
  16. Jersey Andrew
    I am already at 15 inches on the season here in Fairfax. Hell I didn’t even think I would see 15 flakes this winter which was written off by many.
  17. Jersey Andrew
    Yes it was the second snowstorm to hit in three days in DC-Double Whammy. I was in third grade and we missed two weeks of school. Don’t remember Feb.’83 so this was my first snowstorm of memory.
  18. Jersey Andrew
    I’m in that band in southwestern Fairfax County approaching 3 inches.
  19. Jersey Andrew
    Hey it got Feb. 11-12, 2006 correct before other models caught on.

    Great to see you on the boards PT. Still remember getting your forecasts for the January 1996 blizzard on AOL dial up modem.
  21. Jersey Andrew
    In many ways, the angst and anticipation is the excitement to the event. That infamous storm from 21 years ago still makes us bitter, but the ebbs and flows of the experience make this hobby worthwhile to us weenies.
  22. Jersey Andrew
    The only legit ice storms I remember in DC proper were January 1994.
  23. Jersey Andrew
    March 1993 was a 13 inch snowstorm western DC ‘burbs Fairfax to Dulles. I believe National was around 7 inches before mix and changeover. That storm was certainly a classic Nor’easter up and down the coast.
  24. Jersey Andrew
    No just a guy lurking on the boards for 20 years through Midwest and Northeast winters.
  25. Jersey Andrew
    12 inches of snow here on the season right outside DC in a winter where many of us were expecting a ‘97-98 redux. Enjoy it and let the angst go.
