Interesting that the two previous storms were drought-busters and we finally get the cold and the heavy moisture is nowhere to be found. lol. Where's atmospheric memory when ya need it?

Speaking of Richmond, VA getting more, I recall the last 5 years or so, that area jackpoting more than usual or at least getting more snow than DC.

ummm most people in here drew the same conclusion only 24 hours earlier than DT.  check the panic room

I certainly didn’t, nor did deck pic and several others who kept commenting on the fact that things could easily trend better once we got to Saturday and beyond. When things are looking too progressive / flat, there’s typically room for things to trend in our direction. It’s when we need things to be less amped / further south / colder that things don’t pan out. 9/10 times, models correct NW / more amped as we get inside the day 4 range.

There are a ton of people in here who get pretty emotional over whether or not it snows. That’s fine because 99% of them are weenies, not professional meteorologists. What you’re saying doesn’t help DT’s case at all. It makes it worse. See how LWX / legit Mets like MillvilleWx handle forecasts? They update us with the facts and likelihoods. They don’t fully commit until they have all relevant / current information. They don’t have wild emotional swings on twitter and their vlogs. I’m speaking to the fact that DT doesn’t stick to his convictions based on meteorology / the setup we have going into a storm. He swings with the models. Anyone can read the GFS / Euro snow output from 7 days out and cheer or pout about it as they change. It’s one thing if we do it. It’s another if Mets with a following do it. People rely on these mets for forecasts to make life decisions. Just think there’s a professional way to go about it, and DT doesn’t exemplify that.

Perfect event for a 'Snow Advisory'

Why on Earth did they get rid of those?

NWS went to hazard simplification due to social sciences showing that public interpretation was confused with the various different products. WWA/WSW/Blizzard Warning will be the primary hazards now with an Ice Storm Warning for primary high impact freezing rain only events. This has received a positive reception so far, so don’t expect anything from the past to return.

They need to keep the Winter Weather Advisory.

Bottomless. Drink atleast 2.5 to get your moneys worth and then assess the day from there.

Bottomless is the way to go… in all facets of life. As far as your drinks are concerned, it’s clearly the more financially sound decision.

I'll take 2.5 if it will kindly stick around for the 19th event. It's been a hot minute for snow, even longer for snow on snow.

You get snow, and you get snow, and you get snow..

Let’s get a nice advisory event out of this to start off our late Jan - early march heater

Y’all are fucking alcoholics. My kinda crew. 

Heading out to hang with my fellas and keep the Sunday wild card NFL tradition going.  It has been over a decade and even babies being born soon before and soon after and snow storms haven’t been able to stop it.  
 

Might need my 16 yr old son to pick me up tonight!  Beer and legal herbs and cold and football and snow squalls and a 2-4”+ event tomorrow night help the mood.  We are all teachers and could use a snow day for sure. 
 

Hope all in this sub-forum score a cold smoke even tomorrow night!
