I'm at 12.7 inches for the year.  40% climo.  Haven't seen a 6" snow fall in stephens city since Jan 2016 (when I was in cross junction I had 3).  Seeing another storm fringe the NW zone is beyond frustrating. 

It’s become incredibly difficult to get a closed ull south of our latitude.

I moved up here after I finished school at Towson in 2017 thinking this was going to be awesome being up along Parrs Ridge. I have not really seen anything special yet haha.

Have to admit - a lot of respect for those of you who can handle the rug pulls like this every couple of weeks, each year. Used to follow the models religiously and found that the ROI around here is… less than ideal (surprise). Probably some sort of confirmation bias in saying this, but it really does feel like models cave to whichever one paints a worse storm. This region feels cursed at times. 

Began to enjoy this hobby a lot more when I accepted that the mid Atlantic, specifically DC proper, is just not a great place for snow. 2016 doesn’t happen every year.. or even every five years. Don’t obsess over the 72 hour + HECS depictions and it all becomes a bit more tolerable. That being said, hope for once in my time in DC we buck the trend and bring that major storm back.

My first “snowstorm” after moving to this area was March 6, 2013, so I learned pretty early to hold lightly to any snow predictions for the region, particularly for big events. I know this is the panic room and not a space for positivity, but my main takeaway is that the ingredients can still come together for a major east coast snow event at (and below) our latitude at all, which has seemed very much in doubt for the last 5ish years. I feel more confident that it’ll be our turn again, even if this isn’t our season.
