There should be a special mute function just for you. Perhaps charm school would help. 

I see. I asked a simple question and you did not give me an proper answer. "Sure" doesn't work. If you want people to be more respectful to you, you need to be more respectful to them too. :)

3k is almost identical to the Euro out here.  1.6” QPF, all snow - Kuchera with 20-22”.  

Some models have the banding extending down from PA into western MD...hope that happens.

Just heard my fiancee singing "Walking in a Winter Wonderland" in the kitchen and I said "you know, we could go up to deep creek and you could see a real winter wonderland tomorrow?". 15 minutes later it looks like we are going to hop in the car after dinner and head out to my future in-laws' place. Never thought I'd be able to convince her to travel for snow

You are rude to me with everything! I answered your question with the first explanation!

Nice!  Grab some food at Moon Shadow while out there!

I haven't been rude with you at all. I asked a question, "above 850?" and you said "sure". That's not an answer and even after I asked for more information you decided to get cheeky with me suggesting I need a mute feature. That won't get you very far with me, sir.

I guess LWX wanted to note the prospect of freezing rain...

Point-and-click (and the WSW) would suggest I've got a better shot at having fun/seeing snow in Charlottesville... but I think I'm too lazy to make the drive to see maybe an extra 1-2" with a crusty top. Feel like the boom odds might be slightly better in Arlington anyways. That's what I'm telling myself, at least.

Never got quite as warm today as it was supposed to -- missed the high by about 3 degrees.

38/22.

I really am sad for you and empathize with your situation because your abrasive ness is like fire ants under the skin.

Thanks. @DDweatherman posted a similar plot. 

So even with good rates, no enough space for it to go back to snow again before getting to the surface? (I'm grasping at straws, I hate sleet)

Well that's just per this one sounding, but if we have a nose like that, it's tougher to erode than something in the lower levels. PSU, I wasn't up here yet. Remind me how our area did in 3/2017? I know LWX had Westminster in 12-18 and the storm didn't quite produce haha

That makes sense. 

I remember that March 2017 storm. Got some snow before a big thump of sleet. yippee.
