First part is 100%. Second not. I don’t want anyone to feel any sort of way. That’s nun my business.  But I do feel the way I do. I’m a big game Hunter. Everyone knows that. I do like snow. I’ll take 2” if that’s all I can get.  But I don’t really track for that.  And frankly when it’s late in a season like this I become even more so.
 

I’ll root hard for a 2-4” snow around Xmas for example. By mid Feb I’m fully in go big or go home mode.  I’m not hunting squirrels. I’m hunting 12 foot grizzly bears and 5 point white elk with antlers that won’t fit through my door!   That’s just me. 

Glad someone got my snark. Of course I don’t expect the big solutions. But every major global is spitting out 6”+ so obviously it’s an option so that’s what I’m rooting for. Dunno why we shouldn’t!  It’s like with the Eagles. For most of my 42 years I’ve fully expected them to disappoint me. But I’m still there with my brother and cousin screaming expletives that would make a sailor blush when they F up. Just because I expected the fail doesn’t mean I wasn’t rooting to be pleasantly surprised!  Snow is the same. And I don’t need every storm to hit. I know we don’t get that many big events. I’m ok with that. I’m ok when they fail. You don’t see me throwing fits during or after a fail. But when we’re tracking hell yea I want to see guidance trend towards 20”/hr rates with flakes the size of cars that will crush you if they land on you. I’m not a settle kind of guy.  But no issue with others who have different opinions on snow. 

Dude, I'm from Cleveland and have survived The Drive and The Fumble, The Shot, etc.  LOL!!!  Not to mention 2 extra inning Game 7 World Series losses (don't even mention 2016 or 1997 to me, please!).  So I know what you mean hahahaha!  At least you got a SB victory against the evil empire...I mean, New England Patriots!  But I still savor the Cavs win in 2016...

Anyhow, on topic.  Yes, we all sure are rooting for the 6"+, don't get me wrong.  I'm not expecting it, but I like seeing that.  Mostly, I like seeing the colder and less rainy solutions.  And given how measured your comments usually are, I could definitely tell you were being mostly snarky in your comment!

Oh, and what do nuns have to do with this? :lol:

Yup.  It'll give us some cushion when it starts moving back north

This. This will very likely trend north the last 48 hours. We want to get it as far south as we can now. I wouldn’t mind one more south jump tonight before the likely bleed north on guidance starts once the wave tonight gets out of the way.

I think it is cool that you know what you like and make no apologies for it.  I grew up in 70" per year climo in Upstate NY, so I hear you.

But I also understand many of those here who just want to see snow falling out of the sky and hopefully enough of it to cover everything in white.  It reminds me of home and childhood, so that is all I need to see to be happy.  So I, like many in here I suspect, will track the sh@# out of 1-3" snowstorms as long as there is tracking to be done!

Yeah, I know I've had enough 1-3/2-4 and then wintry mix/slop storms in the past five years.

Of course Ji would say when we need a north trend we get...you know.

Yep, been watching the sleet and mix line push further NW all day into Ohio with the low tracking through now.  Model shift NW started last night.  Don't want it to happen, but it likely will.

Yea I didn’t want to throw that part in because I know there are parts of this sub that haven’t had much snow. But I’ve had plenty of ho hum minor snowfalls lately. I want something dynamic.

SREFs look just like the NAM. 

pick your emote. :yikes::lol::wacko::rolleyes:

 

 

Hope they start trending toward the globals but have they ever not been amped and north? It’s anecdotal but  I feel like anytime there is a southern slider we can at least count on the srefs to throw us .50 of digital qpf when everything else is dry.

Yep. I'd take 6 inches over 6-8 hours opposed to 10 over 36 hours, lol. About time us DC folk see good rates that actually accumulate.
