Sorry Oldensign...this is Dcski so i had to jump on your mojo....
The Don over at the SS threads brought up the fact that his Buddy DT at Wxrisk brought up a storm for early next week...I had been tracking it but was not ready to pull the plug and advertise it....Each run since Wxrisk prehyped it the scenerio has changed from something back to nothing and now into a kind of complicated big something..at least thats what the latest news is...who cares about how the storm evolves...Just give me the results!!!!..otay..her is what the Euro says....
Late march sledding in DC..whod a thunk it with the fireball called febuary?....Who gave up on Winter?...u know who u r.....dont be like that!!!!
Here is the Gfs version of results....Heavier on the mountain side...Jackspot CANAAN!....boo?
Mr Fish - please come thru for SS.
Just got word that a good buddy of ours who blew out his knee last year is joing us next Thursday.
I think most in the DC metero area would prever the GTFO model with Cherry Blossums blooming..
Personally, I'm ALWAYS up for throwing on some tele skis and pushing around the neighborhood after work under the streetlights. Bring it down here!
Its a 2 part storm....1st one is leaving...(not really ..just a transfer of energy from an upper low inland to the coastal low..).
its kickin along.. energy on the coast gets stronger and somehow it stalls enough...WWWayyyy above my paygrade...to keep the snow in place while the cold air keeps pumping in...

Ah fish don't waste the white stuff on DC, the days of Mayor Barry are long gone.
Good ole Marion. His classic “line” B^^^h set me up.
Then the Greaseman on DC 101 had a field day.
Meanwhile back at the camp, Dexter Manley said that the lone gun to the right of Ballhooter is blowing snow at 11:51 PM.
1 or 2 more on the otheside...u better unroll that dollar bill Don Mon..put it back in your wallet.....take a swig of whiskey and try to get some sleep.!..
Heavy wet 20”+/- snow approx March 20, 1958. My senior class from Arlington, VA was going to NY; the trip by train took over 10 hours due to wires and trees on tracks. So yes!, it can snow in late March in DC.
The storm has been toned down since the hefty snow model runs....the Nam still shows a good amount..the GFS less so we will go with the king euro.....im picking dolly sods rd 75 and Mt Porte crayon and the east Roaring plains as the WV jackspot...just far enough east of the warm wedge and high enough to get more snow out of what is available...rest is rain..then rain to snow...
DC forecast up to 8-12 inches for tomorrow. I'm supposed to fly to Denver tomorrow night to start my Vail trip.

8-12 possible, but low probability. Difficult storm to forecast. Good travel luck!
The Snow Time slopes are all open. 12+ inches at Whitetail overnight with more coming down!

Snow Tubing is now closed for the season, visit sister resort Roundtop for snow tubing fun.
Seven Springs reported 10 inches this morning, still snowing, Laurel Mountain XC web cam agrees:
Wish I lived closer to Massanutten. Ski patrol found 8 inches at the top this morning and there was 5 inches already at the base.
Snow Conditions Report for 3/21/18
Winter Storm Toby has delivered 5" of new snow at the base and Patrol is reporting 8" up top. We will be open today, Wednesday, March 21 - Sunday, March 25 from 9 am - 5 pm. Winter Storm Warning in effect through 8:00 pm tonight with an additional 2" - 4" expected. As always, check our snow conditions page for the most up to date information regarding snow conditions and operating hours. Snow Tubing is closed for the season. The snowcats will mostly be left in the barn this morning so come out and enjoy some late season powder!
^^^^Ya, been snowing here since 8 and nothing is sticking.. Ground too warm..
I bet the local roads around Harrisonburg are a mess. Very few people at Massanutten looking at the webcam. A few instructors showed up for line up though. I-81 looks wet with traffic flowing though.
Wonder if anyone will try getting onto Wintergreen slopes since they are closed for the season.

Made it out no problem. In Denver now, about to start the drive up into the mountains.
My brother only got about 4 inches at his house in DC. Apparently wet and heavy. He decided to shovel since it was supposed to freeze overnight. It's already 35 as of 8am so most roads should be okay soon. Good thing for my friends who are flying to SLC on Friday for a spring break trip to Alta.
