Thats what I was thinking. Commanders could also have beaten the Chiefs, though it would have been a much closer game for them. 

Yeh guess flip side is commanders eagles face off 2x year so imagine the experience / rivalry makes it little closer.

This-As a long long time diehard Eagles fan-dealing with Washington's offense was MUCH more difficult than this great victory vs KC tonight!  Daniels is special and by far the biggest rivalry the Eagles will have is Wash for at leas t the next couple years. 
 

But for now, my Philadelphia Eagles are SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS!!

WSH Philly first Thursday night game of next season. calling it now.

Weeeeeeeee

Tuesday

Snow likely after 1pm. Cloudy, with a high near 32. Calm wind becoming south around 6 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible.

Tuesday Night

Snow. Low around 28. Light and variable wind becoming northeast around 5 mph after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible.

Well at least you all can get something out of the second batch. I'm probably too south to get that (and may be too north to get to warning level from the first batch, lol). This is seriously ridiculous...screw it I'm big dog hunting from now until this streak ends. These moderate snows we both have been getting the short end of the stick for 6 years. But if we can somehow score a big dog? I like our chances 

Meanwhile back to practicing being grateful for the snow that does fall, lol

Serious question for the far NE crew the last 8 winters where you have been saying you have been screwed. Have your overall snow totals for those winters been more or less than those to the south? Are you just upset about not getting warning level snow or have you truly been getting outsnowed  every winter by Wes and H2O etc. ?

[North Balti Zen]

Less

You could extend this for the crew from Baltimore city/central MD. H20, Wes, Randy, etc. have gotten more snow than both us and the NE crew since Jan 2019.

[H2O]

I have had winters with less than 3” total

We all have given the overall tough stretch of the last 9 years before this year. But in the years where at least one decent event have happened? (2019, 2022, this year) You all have outsnowed my yard.

[North Balti Zen]

But, speaking just for me, the frustration has been the years and years of no warning level snows. There is something awesome about SN+ falling over a period of hours and aldie, I promise you, we just can’t get that. Over and over again this area gets the post event analysis where a red tagger explains  how the snow growth our way was off, why we got needles for 24 hours while it poured legit snow 15 miles away, or how the dry air couldn’t be overcome, or etc etc etc

this isn’t the first time, more like the tenth time. And the frustration is that folks write “it always comes north” and , friend, it does not. 
 

i personally don’t give a shit who gets the most, I just want to once be in SN+ for three or four hours and hit half a foot.

it has been a long time.

Yeah color me skeptical on the full totals comparison...sure on the single storm thing but it's colder up there and they can nickle and dime the heck out of a winter. Shoot even out west where i am hasn't been awesome for the most part. Anyway...hope everyone gets slammed soon.

I’m not too bothered by it, but it’s both for me mainly because I haven’t had anything greater than a 6” storm since 2016. That wouldn’t bother me as much if just to the south hadn’t been beating me in both individual storms and overall winter accumulations.

Snow is IMBY and that's it. No one actually cares that someone gets less, as long as they get the most.

I think I had 1.7” in one of those really lean years.

Most of us aren’t psuhoffman… we don’t live on a little mountain where we get random 2-4” squalls that nobody else gets.

Sure but I'm talking far NE crew I'm more sympathetic to the swamp dwellers around Baltimore etc.

That winter I think that was most of us, lol 22-23, I think I got 0.2...and it fell at like 4 am when nobody was awake to see it, haha Had to laugh at that masterful troll job! That was when I first learned to detach if the winter ever got like that!

[aldie 22]

To be fair in those lean years everyone did poorly so this truly is about individual storm performance...I get it. Good luck all!!

Who you callin' swamp dweller ya rabid anti-swampite?  Ironically I tease a cousin of mine who lives down in St. Mary's county as being in the swamp...but yet the last 8 years you'd think it was the opposite snow wise!

I probably have nickel dimed to more than Fairfax a few times in the last seven years, but, for me, that is a full I don’t care. 17 one inch snows sucks compared to two 8 inch snows (for me anyway, others see that differently).

i just want a legit snowstorm where my obs is ZOMGITSPOURINGSNOW - been a minute. 
 

my obs for years have been (squints) - “I think something is falling the grill is starting to turn white”.

[aldie 22]

I'm fascinated by the differences in sensible weather in our area in just a small radius. I mean I've lived in Takoma Park, Woodbridge, Annandale, Leesburg,  Nokesville and Aldie and even in those areas it's fairly different.
