  1. When we’re digging out from an epic blizzard, your sacrifice will not be forgotten!
  2. Definitely a 94-like setup happening. Would be nice if we could keep the boundary farther south and it’s more snow for us.
  3. Exactly. You don’t want the TPV over eastern Ontario or Quebec unless you want very cold and dry. And that is arctic air ahead of whatever storm forms. CAD is going to be supercharged. At this point, it’s just clear that there could be a high impact and long duration winter wx event late next week.
  4. I am shocked, SHOCKED to see the bullseye near @mappys house.
  5. Crushing 700mb frontogenesis band Sunday morning with 2”/hr rates.
  6. This is definitely true. Look at temps, snow growth, etc. But despite all our talk, we rarely get snow ratios outside a 8-12:1 range. With the look of the soundings we’ve seen on the NAM and even GFS, I don’t see this storm being different. So unless a storm probably has substantial sleet (not the case Sunday) then the 10:1 snow maps are probably decent.
  7. Well @MillvilleWx promised me 10” Sunday and I’m assuming the 10” on the EPS for me is all additional to that. Fun!!
  8. Heard something icy hitting the windows around 5am. Then rain. Nothing on the ground except my melting snowpack...
  9. Getting downtown DC below zero is probably like a 6 sigma event now. Double digits below zero?? Like 8 or 9 sigma??
  10. @mappys house? I mean the house always wins for a reason when the odds are stacked in their favor and there’s a finger on the scale. A thread the needle with meh airmass? I’m going for the far N/W burbs always. Maybe this is the exception, but I’ll believe that with Sunday’s 0z runs maybe.
  11. 13-14 plus -NAO there. Got to keep that SE ridge/WAR or else it’s cold and dry. But verbatim that’s fun stuff.
  12. I really like @psuhoffmans house as the jackpot
  13. I would say still 90% snow cover
  14. RGEM actually does get snow into the metro area and MD.
  15. Because 99% of people get wx info from phone apps that have no human input or those random talking heads. And when those things are wrong, it just feeds the never ending narrative of “THEY are never right”.
  16. Sorry folks, Chuck Bell says partly cloudy and 52 on Sunday on WTOP just now.
  17. Global models all suggesting overrunning chances second half of next week. Fun times with arctic air around. Just keep that boundary a bit south of us and don’t push it down to GA/SC.
  18. Honestly I think that’s quite possible. Good news here is that it’s only 72hrs away and there’s definitely fast flow, so hopefully not TOO far NW. @psuhoffman should be pretty stoked. I’d wager more on a typical fall line type of boundary here in snow amounts than a jackpot in southern MD.
  19. With a fast moving storm and a pretty mediocre stale airmass ahead, this is totally thread the needle. And I doubt we’re done with the NW trend.
