SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Dont wanna derail the long range thread but @psuhoffman has some great points. I expect this to become the new norm as we were already at a marginal latitude for snow before our climate started rapidly warming. I don’t think people will really start to care until their ski resorts have to shut down permanently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 @leesburg 04 My points are frustration at the larger picture and how much harder it's getting to get snow...not specific to this week. We may luck out still...its a really nice setup still...just need some south adjustment to the current consensus but I am also still seeing signs the coverage of snow will be much less then it should be historically given this setup. An amplifying southern wave sliding west to east under a block with an airmass that originated in the Arctic over the top...that should have a HUGE expansive WAA snow shield to its north and northeast and we shouldn't need to be sweating getting the exact perfect track to get some snow. It was already hard to get snow here...if every storm even in a really good pattern has some paltry narrow freaking area of snow it makes it even more likely we strike out even in good patterns, and you can forget it in mediocre or bad ones.

Expand And you don't think this may just be unique to this particular year? Is there precedent?...Didn’t I hear talk of the cold air being bottled up in the other side of the globe a month ago? I mean, maybe this is me trying to keep some hope alive that what we're seeing is not permanent, but...Didn't we have the "bomb cyclone" just two years ago? I don't remember an absence of cold air that year (just that dang fast flow). What if something particular about this year (that's not related to the elephant in the room) caused this?

aldie 22 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Well I was happy that some events have started to show up on the models not only today but the last few days. I call that a win but today's 12z was pretty disappointing for the most part. Best part about today so far is that anything that could happen is still 5+ days away so things can change and probably will. I remain hopeful 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is just a different world as WinterWxLuver said above...crossing into the county from Frostburg flips the switch into winter paradise. We had friends visiting this weekend who arrived Friday afternoon during the snowfall..they were amazed at the fact that it was raining in Frostburg but the second they hit the county line, immediately changed to heavy snow. This winter has been night/day vs last winter (and much closer to a normal year). Depending how February/March goes, we could hit average there (~110” in McHenry). I’m getting close to 60” on the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakkelWx Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Yet another instance where the models shift north and I will likely end up all rain AGAIN for the 26th. If I don't receive at least 6 inches by the 1st week of February, I am officially out of this pathetic winter. Like come on, is that too much to ask for? This winter will receive an F- if I don't get at least one snowstorm between the last week of January and the 1st week of Feb, then I don't know what else to say. What else will it take to get one?
