  1. Every model in the 12Z suite so far dumps 4-7" here tonight. Probably a good time for me to read more and post less.
  2. I was surprised this morning at how conservative LWX went with their overnight package, after some bullish hints from their office yesterday. That said, the point forecast for my area has under 0.5" today, 2-4" tonight and under 1 inch tomorrow, suggestive of more snow than the 1-3 the WWA calls for.
  3. It's like a vinyl LP record that is scratched and keeps repeating the same groove.
  4. Looks like a nice hit for you on the 00Z GFS. Hope it verifies.
  5. Crazy to see the metros with temps in the low 50's. High here today was 35 with a 3" snow cover.
  6. I had ten straight hours of freezing rain with temps in the teens in College Park, MD on 1/17/1994. Still one of the wildest weather anomalies I have ever experienced. Everything was caked in ice, both vertical and horizontal surfaces.
  7. 700mb is warmer than 850. Must be a lot of warmth between 750-800mb with those ripping SW winds aloft.
  8. That day 7 storm starts with temps in the northern Shenandoah Valley in the mid-teens. Never gets to freezing for the duration with 1.00"+ QPF.
  9. I really hope we get the 15:1 ratios that product keeps spitting out.
  10. Temps in the low 30's. Glad it's falling at night.
  11. Yep. The 3” I got from 1/30 was only patchy spots by the morning of 2/2 and the 4” later that day was gone by the time the big dog started. Actually, during the afternoon of 2/5 I had non-accumulating snow for a while.
  12. Tomorrow will make 9 straight days of snow cover here. The 3” hardpack should survive a 45° degree day, so I may be looking at an extended February stretch if the models are on to something. The only 2 Februaries with extended snowpack here in the past 15 years were 2010 and 2014. Feb ‘10 had 23 straight days (and 26 of 28 for the month) and Feb ‘14 also had 23 straight, as part of 39 consecutive days that began on 1/21.
  13. I started at 4:45, but unfortunately I spent way too much time today fantasizing about digital winter precip. I’m forgiving myself though, since we are possibly playing with a once in 5 year, or 10 year pattern. Plenty of time for work dedication when it’s hot and dusty from May to October.
  14. Nah. That only runs through 2/24. We should have at least 3 more weeks of legit chances after that.
  15. 0.50+ QPF here with temperatures in the mid 20s. All sleet and freezing rain.
  16. It was initially drier as it moved through the Ohio valley. Then it juiced up.
  17. Snow moving in at hour 204 with temps low-to-mid 20's across our forum. Cities flip to rain by 210, but all frozen N & W.
  18. Below zero temps Monday morning N & W. Low single digits in the cities. Highs Monday mid-teens.
  19. Temp shot up to 41 briefly, then the wind came up and it's back down to 36. Hopefully back below freezing around sunset. Most of the 1.7" that fell this morning has melted, leaving snow depth where it started before the morning's snowfall.
  20. DEC - 8.7" JAN - 8.0" FEB - 6.0" (so far) TOT- 22.7" (Long-term average through Feb 7: 15.0")
  21. Snow is close to ending here. Has been generally 1.00 mile vis stuff all morning, so not enough good rates to overcome the rising temperature. Up to 32 and what has fallen the past hour hasn’t added any accumulation. 1.7” new snow depth back up to 5”.
  22. Been snowing lightly for the past three hours here. Intensity has picked up in the past few minutes. 1” on the snow board at 29 degrees.
  23. 31/16 here on the NW fringe. Just took a ride up North Mt. Gained about a degree for every 150' of elevation. 38 degrees on the top at 1600'.
