Although it was an impactful event for us, it was very disappointing that the huge totals didnt verify. RIC was 20°F during the height of the event. Meanwhile, PHF, just 60 miles SE, was close to 60°F. No wonder we mixed with such a gradient. Sleet even made it as far north as DCA and cut into their totals; although they still do exceptionally well, I think, something around 16".

It ended as sleet for us even as far north as New Jersey because the storm was so strong it was pulling warm air in from the Atlantic

It seems like everything is just cutting just a little bit too far north and west of us for anything significant next week. I'm sure there's plenty of time to change but we rarely see it change to colder right?

If NAO is more negative that will help suppress things

Bullseye over a week out?  Yeah, that checks out. 

Next will be Andrew Frieden and other TV mets calling attention to the middle of next week for a chance of significant snow. 

Then the NOVA/DC crew whines as they are getting fringed and then the models trend north, then the models take away the storm, then the storm reappears but only for Central VA to get scraps and mixing issues while the storm inevitable trends north and the NOVA/DC crew jackpots.

Sorry, I am jaded.  Give me one more SECS and I am good for the season.  Remind me next year though, the key is for me not to get firewood.  I have gotten all the years I have been in this house like clockwork and then based on recent seasons, said, nah, I am good this year and we have some excellent cold and at least some wintry precip that hung around.  I have been having to buy the bag wood bundles, which I loathe doing, to use in my kindling cracker.

Pretty much 100% aligns with how I feel. We see this every time. Models show a beauty over CENTRAL VA, to nothing, back to being a monster and 2-3 days before it all shifts North and we get scrappy mixed weather time and time again.

Things finally getting into range where we can all start to pay attention again. Going to be an interesting two week period starting Sunday. Would love to see a lot more suppression to lock in that cold air. Looks like the 48 hour storm is dependent upon cold air arrival to catch the precip and a secondary wave. That doesn't usually work out.

All good as you are not a regional snob like others and I depend on you guys for the knowledge.  I just need Bob Chill to weigh in, then I know a threat is real.  Then, if we get Midlo to post, I will go oil my shovel.  Thanks for all that you do to keep this board going.

Of course, rooting for everybody to score a big one.
