Odd thing is when I first went out with my kid, we couldn't make a snowball that held its shape. After some fzdz, I sent her back inside (she was cold) and did some shoveling. With 4" OTG after some sleet and fzdz, it felt more like shoveling 7 or 8 inches. Or maybe I'm just getting old 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly enough (for our corner of SE FfxCo), it's not really let up here since daybreak, vacillating between light to mod snow, and only had pingers in the 7-8am hour. Rates are picking back up again here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Pingers are a real punch right in the GUT. Now we hope and hope and hope and hope on the 2nd round. But some folks got super lucky and piled on snow. But, sleet is like having a hot sister. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to mod snow with dendrites now. So pretty outside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TowsonTownT Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Just under 4" in my Towson backyard, but this should help the totals for us Baltimore area peeps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Congrats all from RDU where the futility streak is up to 1072 days. It looks like this band in NOVA is going to really up things for a lucky few. Would not be surprised if there is some thunder in that band. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSG Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Not trying to make the northern crew feel even worse, I do feel bad for y'all, but this is the result the Euro was showing for days that many posters in here were heavily discounting/tossing. Remember it for the next storm! And don't ride the 48hr NAM! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember it for the next storm! And don't ride the 48hr NAM! It's quite simple really. Ride the model that gives you the most snow, expect the model that shows the least to be right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 If it was me again in Dale City I would take no chances, and no prisoners. I would go out there and dig every fracking flake of snow I could find. I would shovel the driveway, the walk, even the whole damn road! I would pile that precious snow on the north sides of sunlight blocking objects, and pile it crazy high. You know when you live in Northern Virginia you gotta make the best of things, and man did I fucking embarrass the fook out of everyone back when I was so young and I worshipped snow like Bitcoin and prompts today. My late dad used to cry when I got into this mode. You gotta get out there. You gotta dig it. You gotta dog it. You gotta get every last flake. I lived in Dale City and you better believe I knew where I lived, and it sure was not Mammoth Ski Resort. I went out and I dug snow til my arm fell off and my back was obliterated. I piled snow until I KNEW I would have snow in my yard until August, until people stared at crazy Jebman and gaped, with their lower jaws resting on the ground. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
