Thanks to you both.  Yeah, it's waaaay out there of course.  But the key takeaway for me is that we have several waves coming at us within that one week or so period, and there are several indications that we could score a good bit of snow even if one of them is too warm with mainly rain.  And from what I saw, the temps don't exactly torch completely and subsequently cool off again.

Do you have any important plans for then.  Because let me tell you how I feel about them........

I will just leave this here. Anyone got the kuchie?

[psuhoffman]

I can accept this run as an appetizer before the really good pattern sets in

Nope.  I only have plans to be out with my camera and yardstick taking many photos of us rippin' fatties while I measure several inches or more of snow!  I'm hoping for 3" per hour, shut the freakin' city down type of snow, with perhaps a period of ice in there to add a layer of glaze.  You know, where it's possible to walk down the middle of Connecticut or Wisconsin avenue in the middle of the day with boot-high snow, because there is absolutely NO traffic!! 

In other words, it would be nice to have it look like this (from Feb. 10, 2010):

This is actually the crazier map. Some ice, some sleet and a ton of snow. Fun times incoming. 

Edit: By the way that is a Ji jack. 40 for Leesburg.

Umm, I vote for the crappy pattern to continue.

The colors don't go high enough for Kuchera.

My son is taller now but the sign is still there. Hopefully I can take an updated picture in a few weeks. Hope the people who live in the house now don't shoot at us

This was my 6 foot 4 son in front of my car in 2016. The true scale of a 40 inch storm.

The end of the run is very disappointing.  I'll need time to reconsider my feelings. 《insert Barry Manilow cd here》

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

I know people typically frown a bit at the "total positive snow depth change" maps, but just for fun to show how significant this might be, here's the total positive snow depth through 342 hours (00Z Feb. 18).  This seems like an insanely high amount for that value:

Yeah, what's up with that? The good period advertised looks worse than the lead-up.  Before anyone says it, I know it's the op at farthest range and likely wont look anything like that at 384. But wouldnt it be some shit we get crushed during the reload then go into a relax after the 20th, the old bait n switch?

[North Balti Zen]

On behalf of the northern parts of the area that are not PSU and have been relatively hosed for six years…

…those runs were acceptable. 

[NorthArlington101]

18z EURO is in for a wintry mix event (sound familiar?) for Saturday. Snowier for the northern tier, more ice everywhere, flips to rain eventually.

You know for your pattern we are not gonna have the same moisture flow as the next 2 weeks most likely.

Your optimism for this pattern is shocking lol

Well, to paraphrase the old saying:  There are old weenies, and there are bold weenies.  But there are no old, bold weenies!!
