So pumped this storm is going to happen for you guys, you're long overdue for a decent hit.  I remember the lead up to the blizzard and how sweet it was to finally get crushed after such a long snow drought.

 

Good luck down there!

 

Thanks!  Been a long journey but I'm so glad we're finally cashing in.

Starting to perhaps agree. We just need to train ourselves to wait our turn. Maybe we can get a good pattern going of 2-3 years off and 1 year on.

I totally agree but you have it backwards. 2-3 hecs every 1 year is correct. Next year will have 5 at least to make up for the last 2. This storm is only a clipper on the grand scheme.

Could totally see next year being big if we get Nino. Didn't 08-09 end with a bang ?

Any early bets on which ski areas make out the best from this one?  I am talking real ski areas, i.e. not Liberty/Roundtop/Whitetail.

 

I am debating whether to head to Snowshoe or Canaan/Timberline on Thursday.  That is, if the roads are passable to get to either.

 

I realize this may be the first time in recorded history that Massanutten gets more snow than either of those two but I am still not going there.

 

My bet is on Canaan/Timberline since Snowshoe looks to be a little SW of the main axis of precip, but I fully admit that I don't know what I am talking about.

 

It's too bad that there are so damn many trees on Bull Run Mountain.  I can see it from my window.  I would ski that mofo all day long tomorrow.  As it is, I will be the lunatic on randonnee skis on Gum Spring Road tomorrow, skinning up and skiing down the berms in front of the quarry.

Upslope regions are easy target for jackpot but I honestly think lower elev locales have a shot of lollis somewhere close to higher elev if the deform sits and rots like some models suggest. Were talking a several hour stall and pivot with some inches per hour and rolling thunder. Pinpointing this might be most awesome part of storm.

May be premature to say this, but... Even though we all often lament DC weather, really think we live in one of the best spots in the country when it comes to  occassionally seeing  it alll -- blizzards/big snow storms/tropical storms/weenie Cat 2 hurricane threats/severe/tornado/flash floods/heat waves/rare overperforming clippers/rare derecho... What other area of the country has all of that? Philadelphia and New Jersey, maybe, but think their severe risk is less than ours.   It can be a long wait, but undoubtedly, eventuallly we cash in.

I have been telling people this. I got 30" IMBY from 2/6/10 and saw 106F the following summer. Not many places that happens. Maybe CO/KS but they don't get topical weather. Better severe though (well better might not be the right term.)

Snowshoe always does best....elevation my brotha.
