Nice and cold leading in. Not one flake wasted.

If the elephant in the room causes this the trade off is quite acceptable.

Temps not budging yet.

Almost every model shows a very long duration event in some form or another.

Besides weather enthusiasts we apparently have many psychologists amongst us. Continue up the good work in the storm thread keeping people calm and tapering expectations.

36 hour event.

Funny coincidence I was thinking the same a couple days ago and then today I saw a big snowpile left in Reisterstown at the shopping center across from Franklin high School

Moderate snow. 28.

March 1956 and 1960 had impressive storms also. 1960 also had sustained cold. I don't think we give the March 2018 enough due. For late March you cant do much better.

I've said all along my bar is 2.

Light snow.

Hoping for 2.

No commentary on the 54 hour event on the GFS.

Pretty decent cold shot coming Friday.

Interesting how NAO is forecasted to bounce up close to neutral in timing with the Sunday/Monday storm.

Just a few days ago that wave wasn't hanging around. In fact it was dampening out with very light precip sinking back south and we were cooling aloft and surface was chilly . Now we may hit 50 on Wednesday.

There is no coincidence that both storms fell apart as soon as Baltimorewxguy came back.

GFS is quite chilly following the storm for a couple days which leads to some frozen for the next wave.

Also trending to be a shorter duration storm. Looks like 12 hours. Snow shuts off before noon on Thursday.

My bar is 2 for Monday/Tuesday and 4 for Thursday.

Your good buddy JB pointed out yesterday that this may have been the warmest winter on record if there wasn't prolonged blocking. Scary.

Heck, its even 32-33 up here with a 1040 high and a bombing storm.

It's too fast of a mover for him.

Fake news!! Lol.

It's just been an incredible uphill climb. At least entering prime time climo makes it easier but when you're on such a bad run you expect everything to go wrong and that has happened even when getting some great mid-range looks. This is still out best shot so far coming up. Have to hope something breaks our way. The 25th is far from settled so maybe we the tide changes. My goal with the 25th system is something measurable then as PSU the next wave is the one that works out. By the end of January you dont want to be punting waves.
