Is Ji really this much of a drama snow queen? Who wouldn't be happy with 12" of modeled snow?

 

Plus, while I don't buy "north trend" mantra, I have seen enough heavy snow modeled to south and east of DC that ends up north and west to know that, in this case, if you are chasing an 18 inch result, the NAM is in a nice spot for Ji. If that model just spit out a 10-12 without the low closing off, that's a pretty great sign, I would think.

We're in a pretty good spot in the cities as it stands but I'm not sure having the QPF stay southeast and not move means we're going to get north trended.  The pattern is still fairly hostile for a huge amplification even if it happens.

Point taken. And still, I know i have been down the road of watching Ji worry like crazy over this kind of stuff and then he ends up with twice the snowfall we see in the cities (or at least easily exceed the snowfall in the beltways).

:lol: that must be another Mt Parkton.

 

I'm honestly cautious right now with totals. The GFS being so "out there" has kept me from being overly excited. I do not expect Euro like totals from this storm.

 

That's the top of arapahoe basin. My old stomping grounds. The first mountain is independence. Just beyond is keystone resort. Far distance is breckenridge. We skied all over independence backcountry. There was gate access from keystone resort and a 90 minute hike and powder paradise. 

 

Arapahoe basin just went through a major storm cycle. Reminiscent  of Jan 96 but later this year. Jan 96 was skiing month of my entire life. 150" in 21 days. When i'm on my way out I'll still be dreaming of that month.
