it usually jackpots where I live - sorry.  I've lived through Philly's snowiest winter ever, NYC's snowiest January and February, NYC's biggest snowstorm ever, near the jackpot for the Blizzard of 96.  Basically the two events I've really missed out on were Jan 25, 2000 (snow was about 10 miles to the east, brutal) and PD2 (mostly sleet in C'ville, but we got about a foot).

Sorry to all those who don't live where I live.

Shut up Pazzo.

By shut up, I mean keep going

Ehhh I'd scale back the "don't normally get it" to "didn't normally get it before 2019"...because since then they most certainly have!

That’s one of the things that normies don’t understand.   Most people I know are convinced that it just doesn’t snow around here any more.. I even saw a snowblower out there other day with a  “free” sign on it.  When I tell them that it has snowed plenty areas just to our south they look at me with confusion because in their mind snow is a thing of the past and entertaining the possibility that a lot of snow storms may have missed to our south is preposterous.

Yes. Now the only caveat is Jan 2022. OFFICIALLY, BWI measured 6.1". But we didn't make that here in the city itself (I think I measured 4"). It has been a pretty brutal stretch...while this may be the best 9-year stretch DC/NOVA has had when it comes to jackpotting.

So now you see why those of us in that area have been more frustrated!

I don’t think “pretty brutal” does this stretch of years service, specifically around Baltimore. I think a strong argument could be made that this is the worst stretch of winters BWI has ever had in the history of record keeping, in terms of snowfall. 8 consecutive winters with total snowfall under 19 inches coming into this winter. That has never been done before. BWI went 7 winters in a row one other time in history, but even during that stretch, they only were held to single digits once. We’ve been held to single digits 3 times in the past 8 years. One of those being literally our worst winter of all time, with the 0.2 inches in 2022/23. There are 8 and 9 year old children who live around here who have no clue what a legitimate snowstorm is like. We’ve had a couple storms around Baltimore during this stretch where if you happen to measure in the perfect spot, you may scratch the surface of 6 inches, but that’s been the max for 9+ years. 
 

To say we’re due for a big one at some point is an understatement.

CMC is a very different look than the GFS but a net improvement from 12z

Once inside 84 hours you know what the gem looks like from the rgem. The rgem is just a higher res version.  They won’t be significantly different the rgem will just show details slightly better. Frankly I’m not even sure if the rgem is all the much higher res now that they have the hrdrps I think they stopped upgrading the rgem. The hrdrps is often somewhat off from the gem.
