JB from Twitter

Another big ticket winter storm threat next week before pattern starts to let up.

still says bwi 3-6 inches and DCA from a quick fierce thump and go

seriously anyone that knows JB code knows he is bailing on DC. He mentions possibly having to adjust or clean up the edges of his snow areas and references DC and BWI several times in that regard. He even mentions waiting to see what the obs are at HAT before adjusting DC and Balt...that is as close to JB admitting he will bust as you will ever get. As soon as the models picked up on the fact that the H5 low was going to go to our west we were SOL with this. The only time that works is when you have a block and there is a lot of STJ involved...then you can get a nice thump front end snow and dryslot...but in this setup were screwed. Only chance is a last minute adjustment south in the H5 that models arent seeing. Actually the real only chance is if the H5 jumps south some in response to the coastal. NAM almost does this but 3 hours too late. Its a long shot hail mary and all we got left.

Are the Philly weenies gloating over their comparably good winter. I really have not been looking at that forum. They are having two decent winters in a row. The only big east coast city that can claim that.

NYC ended up way above average last winter. They got 3 10"+ storms last winter. Don't let their bitching confuse you, they only think their winter was bad in their own heads because it wasnt 400 percent of average like ours was. Basically it would be like if DC got 40" but complained because Richmond got 60". They are ridiculous.

Any New Yorker who thinks last winter wasn't good in their area is delusional.

GFS is nothing like NAM, which was historic

if GFS verified, its not a KU

if NAM does, it is imho

Truth is probably somewhere in the middle tho in this range I like the NAM's resolution even if it tends to overdo QPF.

It's also breaking apart as there really isn't much of LP to keep it organized now, and even so, as we saw on 12/26, as long as we only have a N wind, it probably won't get here. If there were an easterly component, well, then it might be more interesting.

It's not gonna make it to us until after 10 am at least
