Should just be honest say something like ... These spots were guaranteed to do well, these others were more than likely to get shovelable accum and others could either be there too or get screwed. Maybe there are storms ppl shouldn't make snow maps for.

I dont think any media or NWS product that was out late last night came close to verifying for the area they are responsible for. I went on at 12:30am and called for  4" possible in DC and higher amounts possible in n&w suburbs" and even though that was much lower that everything else that was out there it was still too high.

Sombody on a DC TV affiliate or a Balt. affiliate who mentioned in their text that 5-10" for the city and up to a foot possible in the mountains did not have a verified forecast.

I did get 3" and I hope some other areas within 20 miles of DC did also because that can at least mitigate the public ridicule.

The SW/W virginia burbs did pretty well all things considered.  Much better than the MD burbs..I think there were a number of 4-7" measurements 10-20 miles to the west and southwest...

I think the best Baltimore suburb was Westminster and they got 5" I think.

I'm mad but not march 2001 mad. I saw 5 maybe 5.5 inches at peak and some good rates but low visibility was never there....no thunder...and the slush made it gross. Would of been much harder if grass was still green

Agreed on the last part. 3.5" but could've been much worse had I lived even a few miles away on lower ground.

I got absolutely nothing, nada, zip as in no snow at all. Not even falling from the sky.

 

All I have are puddles....and most of those are from my tears!!!

 

Worst storm EVER!!! I am moving.

I feel like we had our winning touchdown on the last play of the game overturned by a replay review.

I feel like I just flushed over 100 hours of my limited time on this planet with nothing to show for it and any sane/normal person could never understand why if I tried to explain it.

There is no such thing as a normal or sane person. Stop and take a look around your own backyard and the entire world. Nothing but insanity everywhere. At least your affliction can't hurt you or anyone else. Accept your disease and move on. At least you are among your own kind.

It's a lot better than video games..lol. My son just came to me after spending about an hour on a calculus problem and said 4.7 was answer. That's about the peak snow depth I measured here in Damascus.

An aspect that has grown out of control is the fact that weather sells soap powder. NWS does not fall into that but all media including internet wants viewership and if you can chat it up about the heavy snow you get more participation then chatting it up about minimal snow and rain.
