GFS is actually painful to look at when Philly and NYC are actually buried. That was supposed to be us. 2+ feet. We gotta catch a break at some point.

Exactly. I’ve been saying this all morning. What we have outside would be impressive for March.  I get not getting the coastal- fine. But when WAA snows produce about 2 inches on the grass in late January with temps below freezing, sorry I just can’t get excited about it.

Have you reported to the Panic Room to take your place among the reaped, then?

We just don’t have the rates so far. It snowed decently around 830-9am for like a half hour and ever since it’s been pixie dust

And it certainly looks like the big dry slot is about to head into DC., within an hour or so.

Noting light snow that won’t accumulate seems like an observation to me. Should we pick up some rates and this start to look like something legit, I will post it as well.

That should fill some. You can see the stuff in central VA starting to come more NE...should be some filling down around Charlottesville and feeding NE. But the question will be the rates. If we just get this pixie dust all day there’s no way I’m getting more than 2” and the roads will never be covered

Being east of the DC against the Bay, I am hoping that what ever banding occurs, that we might be in a better spot to benefit?   Thoughts anyone?  I am a teacher who actually teaches actual kids in an actual classroom, so a snow day would still be an actual snow day for us!  

I’m in Annapolis and generally the farther north and east you are, the better banding you’ll see. Being against the Bay also keeps us a bit warmer though due to the marine layer so we may mix for longer.

Yea, but just 2 hours ago, some were arguing that it wasn’t even a real dry slot — just bad radar over Wear Virginia  -/ and yet, here we are with dry slot already to Fairfax

Yeah, you might score in overtime.

B4 I go back outside I want to drop a quick thought or 2. NAMs can eat an 8th of mushrooms sometimes but what they showed yesterday made a lot of sense to me. The solutions were literally the most common general outcomes of nearly all previous similar storms. It's debatable that us getting in on any goods keeps this type of event off the blowout loss list and into a well fought close game list that leaves fans feeling ok about the team. Yea, it could be better but man, it could be far far worse too. 

I'm not the thought police so everybody just do everybody. I get it. Me personally, I'm damn sure not going to let the lack of pt2 ruin today. I'm a battle scarred weenie and the simple fact that my yard is actually getting enough snow to cover everything sets this event apart from adding to my ptsd. 

Ob: 2.4" so far. Will update when 3-4" piles up. 

Eta: imo, it's too early to say pt 2 is a fail. History says that it prob will be but we havent crossed the point of no return for surprise coastal love for people somewhere in our sub

I think it’s arrived here west of you..few flurries still but couple of blue patches in the sky. 2 inches.  Not too shabby.  32
