WVclimo Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 On 1/2/2025 at 8:19 PM, MillvilleWx said: Moving this to banter, but yes, it's kind of crazy that they haven't had an event break 12" in so long. They got tons of sleet and ice storms in that area of the country. They will be right on the line of the transition for this one too, but I hope for historical sake they can hang on to snow the whole event. Would be something to remember and tell stories about for generations to come. Looks like KC finished with 11.0”, so just shy of a top 10 snowstorm for them. It was their 4th largest single-day snowfall though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenkinsJinkies Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I’m wondering, if whatever entity that controls our snow has actually been listening to the pleas here since 16-17 but decided to tease us by deciding to go all out all at once. However they messed with us by giving us a favorable ENSO head fake last year followed by a rug pull, and is now finally delivering the goods this year when, during the lead up, we were least expecting it.

Maestrobjwa Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Man I'm trying to just stay grateful for the snow I have. But man am I tired of being squeezed though...I've been squeezed west and east from a WAA, and north and south from this, not south enough for 2019 and 2022. It's like I'm always having to settle for a consolation prize. Instead this is yet another snow where it's like...yes it looks nice, but yet on the outside looking in for snow totals, and another WSW that barely reached 5 inches. As a snow lover it's frustrating. It wouldn't be if I had cashed in before, but this is now the 4th event in the last 9 years where I was on the fringe. Hope that luck changes eventually.

I'm glad you posted this here in banter. I get that everyone wants snow, and totally understand the frustration of the last several years in our area, but reading complaints in the obs thread is a buzz kill. I don't want to detract from the fun and enjoyment of other forum members. Now if it's the Philly and north crowd, that's a different story.

Well there is kinda a discussion in the obs thread that PSU had started so I did kinda respond to that, lol But yes I hear you--I don't wanna detract from that either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my faves, And I say this respectfully. Deep, deep respect: If we get a storm this weekend, stay the fuck off the board and go snorkel your ass somewhere in a lagoon. You are going to be insufferable if you miss a big one. Gonna be pointing out a one mile move of the 534 line of a vort and hyping up a bad run of the 84 hour NAM. Might even drag out an old NOGAPS map. Your girlfriend needs you. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must’ve missed my meltdown yesterday where I bought an emergency flight back to BWI for Friday if I need it after yesterday’s 18z GFS… so I’m happy to cheer for a monster (8”+ is the bar). If I don’t need the flight, I can cancel it for travel credit and fly to Buffalo for the next lake effect storm also the girlfriend is back in DC - my family’s vacation didn’t work with her law school schedule. So more incentive to return early! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Would it annoy anyone else if their neighbor didn't mow their law the last month in the fall such that it would take 6" of snow or more to cover it? Asking for a friend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Oof, if nothing else comes from the ULL, then didn't even quite get to 3 inches...just 2.8" for the event. A common issue for most of the systems that have disappointed up this way since I moved here in Dec. 2021 was seen again with this one, delayed on-set, and then crap rates w/ icy flakes due to dry air. Just have not been able to get to that sweet sweet good forcing and lift for years now up this way. Perhaps next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
