0z gfs is 100% no doubt the iciest 7 day model run I've ever seen. You have to root for that. All timer. I've always said I want a foot of ice. Well, maybe not in 1 storm but... 

There's guidelines against not including ice measurements in seasonal totals, right? Might as well tally it up and say I have had 14 inches of "'winter" when those storms are all said and done.

Nah we gotta see if we can have one of those waves give us snow...because all snow solutions would end up in foot/feet territory wouldn't they? :lol: Feels like next week may be our best chance for that in awhile if it can stay mostly snow!

Just don't understand the no snow part. It's taking a snow track

I'm not much of a stickler for official stuff like that. I'm much more focused and interested in weather breaking lots of stuff and destroying things and crippling power grids and things like that. You know, the simple pleasures in life

Honestly, if storms are going to run at us like that on the periphery of arctic air/tpv, you'd have to expect all ptypes. We could just as luckily get a really good snow hit as a mixed event or even plain rain/zr. It's an unusual pattern and it's here to stay for a bit it seems

Came across this quote in a Baltimore Sun article about the ‘94 ice storms:

Feb. 10-11, an extraordinary 4 inches of sleet fell at BWI. On the 11th, the precipitation type changed 10 times.

Can you imagine the reaction of this board if we had a repeat of that ?  Lol.

I got 3 inches of sleet my first or second year here - 2017ish? That was one of the most memorable storms I’ve ever been in.

a car tried backing over it like it was snow and got stuck lol.

I remember that. We got 3 inches of sleet on the ground. I was jebwalking on that glacier then ended up slithering down hills like a snowbound lemming.

That, was pure ecstasy! 

Ever try sledding down a sleet covered hill that has glacierized? I was going FAST! I felt like Chuck Yeager at the Winter Olympics. There was NO stopping. I went super fast down the icy hill and right into the woods, right into a creek! The ice there was thin, of course. I got a good soaking. 

Those were the best of times!

This, is definitely sig material.

Man, I love ice, but that line takes the cake for all time!
