H2O

1/7: 0.5"

Yes. Coastals and cutters pose their own problems with warm noses and so on and I've had that happen a lot. This one was def due to temps on fire before clouds got in. i still would have been happy with snow falling during 80% of the storm as opposed to 50% even if my totals were the same.

I will move in a few years. the only thing keeping me where i am now is job and kids. But in a year and a half the job thing disappears(as in my current one) and kids will be close to HS age. Def need to get away from this UHI shithole.

For many people(myself included) that were in the DC S&E areas of I-95 this one wasn't as fun as other near miss snows. Again, the concern some had yesterday morning about lack of clouds and sun was warranted. I'm not sure there were as many model runs that had DC and other places absolutely torch prior to the onset of precip. If it was a few hours faster like the people in SW VA benefited from then I bet all of us would be rejoicing. I started the morning at 28F prior to sunrise. By the time precip started it was 46 IMBY. That was just too much 925s to overcome. It didn't flip for me until after 2pm which for many it had been ripping for hours and mainly had the luxury of temps helping. I understand location and climo. Probably more than most of you. So when models had my area for 1" or so I always know the challenges. What grinds most of the gears for the people who see less snow isn't that we don't know what the odds are. We just don't need that one extra thing to make it that much harder to get snow. Yesterday was soaring temps. That clearly delayed the flip. Once I did I still had temp issues of only getting to 33F. So it was mostly white rain. Despite that, if I wasn't battling 40s at the start I would have seen a few more hours of snow even if it melted. Thats what most of us wanted. Just to have snow falling. So I got .5" yesterday. Not just because of location and elevation. Those are constants. Yesterday's lower total was due to clouds not getting in soon enough, temps soaring, and the column not being able to overcome it.

Been snow TV for the last 90 min. Whatever snow is falling is melting. Temp at 33F and won’t drop. measured 0.5” so that’s what I’ll go with for the storm as I don’t see it adding up any further

Only grass and cars here. Roads not caving. Temps struggling to fall under 32. 33.1/31

I will fully admit that I purposefully whined so that my rain would flip to snow. And you know what? It worked!! Lesson learned. Always complain. And as Homer Simpson said: if you know you can’t win something, never try.

Maybe we can hope for a pivot over us. WE ARE DUE!!! Never apologize!! The scars we have run deep and we are now approaching the age where we are entitled to yell at things. Stupid 850s not being where they were supposed to be.

When it flipped it flipped. Somewhat impressive if painfully delayed

Big flakes and coming down well now. Cars covered and grass turning white. Better late than never

Kids said it has flipped to snow and sticking to the grass. Temp falling to 35°

And I’ll still say that the concern over sun and lack of clouds this morning did translate to why some areas can’t flip. Going from 28 to 45 mattered with this storm. It did for me.

Temp has dropped from 40.4° to 37.6°. Still just rain. Not going to be much IMBY for this one. Congrats to all the ones that get snow. Enjoy!

Traffic sucks thanks to OPM and schools. Still raining but car temp(I know) has fallen 3 degrees in 15 min

Kid at home just told me its 44/27. Thats good the dews are still sub 32

I'm north at my work and its rain. Maybe its me.

I'm hoping temps crash soon one precip gets going

Seeing rain at the office Rt 50 just west of the beltway

Harlem, NY checking in on DC OPM status

i believe I'll be exempt from the common stupidity of you
