Definitely a 94-like setup happening. Would be nice if we could keep the boundary farther south and it’s more snow for us.

JB has been throwing 94 around lately.

Yeah, but man, it's beautiful out there today!

Sure is. So was yesterday. 

Snowcover taking a beating today.

So many possibilities. Anything is on the table. Could we possibly have two 48 hour event within 2 weeks of each other.

Why not? A very legit meteorologist just explained 1 page back why this very well could be 8-10:1 ratios... and maybe along the Maryland coast ratios will be lower, but they could easily be 10:1 out this way. 

I only focus on northern MD and we're easily 10:1 if not 12:1 or better.

I'm not all in until Marty Bass approves.

New bar set at wall to wall snowcover the entire month of February

I thought the one after the late Jan event was the first of the 2 big storms in Feb.

It was a quick hitter that trended it better in the last 24 hours. Didnt look like much 48 hours out but ended up coming further north. I believe they even issued WSW's tuesday morning only about 6 hours before it started.

I think we even did well at my old NE Baltimore hood from the 2 1987 storms . I remember heavy rates in one .

Yes all parts of the city did well. You probably got 10-12 with the first storm  then the 2nd storm was a very cold storm so you probably got 6-8 with that one. Both those storms were in later January.

The storm I was referencing was the wet snow fast moving bomb in Feb. You probably got 10-12 with that one.

So for this storm potential on Sunday, can someone please detail out for me everything that is going against it? I only come here to learn about what the obstacles are not to enjoy the snow. Obstacles way better than snow imho. 

Sykesville or Leesburg?

Waiting for Amped to bring out the Feb. 87 analog. Marginal temps, fast moving and nice juiced up system.

3k still looking decent for frozen Friday morning for north and west .

What was your storm total?

It would be nice to have a below average month for a change.

Was that 85? I guess it was. And for some reason I thought it was in early Feb. I remember there was some snow on the ground but it was mild and melty that day. Temps were in the low 40s or something.

We have discussed that one on here quite a few times. Instant whiteout, thunder, and legit flash freeze. It had it all.

It could've been early Feb. I'm not 100 percent sure but I though it was the 26th of January. I do remember an early Feb. storm that was a bust. It was supposed to be a rain changing to heavy snow type deal with up to 10 inches possible and instead it was 1-2 after the changeover.

Why does everyone reference 1985 so much. I was too young to remember but looking at local records it was one of the least snowy winters ever here. Yet people bring it up a lot.

85 had s cold spell I believe 

Basically it's the legendary arctic front but there were some other events that were decent but there also were a couple busts that would've of made it a very good year if they panned out. 

I can remember several cold blasts and there was the all time greatest snow squall in late January that accompanied another arctic front.

Like I said earlier, nothing this winter is easy. 

Yeah but were in the game. last year the game was cancelled. These are just the ebbs and flows that go with the territory when you love snow. Let's see if these changes for next week are for real in next few model cycles and if they are I still  think the rest of February will be workable.

Time to go full weenie mode. Right around the Feb. 12th-14th period all the indicies are lining up and pointing to a very nice window of opportunity. AO remains severely negative and NAO is on the rise from severely negative. EPO is negative as is the WPO. PNA tries to get to neutral or slightly positive. Coincides with our prime climo. MJO may try for 8.

Just leaving my Job near Thurmont . No new snow here as of 1pm but winds have been gusting good.  Already seen some blowing snow and occasional drifting across roads on my travels.  Feels and looks like winter . Hopefully we get a Friday am appetizer to kick off Sundays snow .

We had a nice period of snow from 2:30 until now. Starting to wind down. Picked up another inch or so.

I only measured 3" in that 1/30/2010 storm.  Just barely made it inside the sharp northern cutoff.  I don't think there was much north of Hagerstown with that one.

I got barely 4" after expecting not much. Westminster just 8 miles to my southwest got 6".
