Have you been in this sub during winters before? There's a long history of people dropping in to tell us how it works in these parts. Especially when their yard is an obvious crush zone. You popping in from harlem telling someome how it is who's been around this board for like 20 years is looked at as being disrespectful. It's not nefarious or mean. It's just calling people out and letting them know to knock it off out of respect and courtesy

Ahhh I see. Ultimate irony because if I was still back there I'd be near the bullseye right now...Yeah I grew up in Ellicott City and moved to New York in 2013. I lost my job during covid and have been back here since. It's rough! I got used to those New York winters, felt like Christmas morning every few weeks up there. Then again, I'm very used to this pain. Been a weenie since fifth grade. 

Favorite storm easily is January 2000. I could tell just by looking at the radar (Bob Ryan was calling it) that we had a chance. But when I woke up, I'd totally forgotten about it until my dad poked his head in while I was brushing my teeth and said we had blizzard conditions outside.

Still nothing falling in Waynesboro...

Hopefully soon. Radar just brightened up this past frame so I like to think this band will moisten the column. Seems to be a bit of a preshow so if it doesn't work out it's not a huge deal but it would probably limit our shots at 5-8".

Just a side note. Earlier—my kids asked me what time tomorrow would we have a enough snow for us to go on a “Jebwalk”?:wub:

Next to Bchill—you are legend as well my friend. Love when you chime in here from deep in the heart of TX. And so Mappy and team doesn’t zap my shit...how bout that GFS!? Looks like it might snow tomorrow....Monday....maybe Tuesday! I think that low is all TUCKED up. LOLz. 

I will ALWAYS pull for torrential snow for my old part of the country - The good old Washington Metropolitan Region!

All of you are in for a treat - and a LOT of heavy snow! That low has big plans for The Mid Atlantic, every last one of you snow enthusiasts. Get those shovels ready!

Perfect. Hoping that this first band holds up and delivers. HRRR has me with 2" on the ground in the next five hours or so -- that bit looks to be a crucial part.

Yeah that band that just passed SWVA into Lynchburg means business. I'm an hour or so west of Lynchburg in Franklin County VA and we picked up 1.25 inches in a hour. Roads are covered.

This will be my daughter's first real experience with snow.  She was 3 months old back in 2019 when we got around 10" (so that doesn't count).  Then she briefly saw some snow in early 2020 (pre-pandemic), so she was just over a year, when we were visiting some friends outside NYC in NJ.

Where the hell is @Don Cherry's Jacket?   Still by far the best screenname here.

No doubt. And a hilarious avatar to go with it. I did run into one on a different interest forum that killed me. Dude's name was AmishRakeFights and had an avatar of 2 Amish dudes in a standoff holding rakes.  Maybe it's a reference to something and I don't know it but for reasons I dont really understand, I literally cracked up whenever he posted

I love names like that.  Dude doesn't post much, but I don't know why his name brings me so much joy.  Even if he did something wrong, I'd probably never ban or warn him just because of his name.  That's a rare pass.  It's like an Pasta for Life card at OG.

On second thought, that's more of an insult.

And that avatar has one of the milder jackets Don Cherry would wear.  The floral pattern jackets were rather memorable when he was on Hockey Night in Canada.

Euro in 10 minutes.

My son is 8 months old so this will be his first accumulating snow.  We got some light snow earlier in the month and took him to the door to see his "first snow flakes" and he was unimpressed.  He must get that from his mother :wacko:
