  1. Hey man... the HRRR has dc in some light snow tonight for the first time as of the latest run. I’m starting to care a bit more after this latest debacle.
  2. CMC really beefed up qpf for Saturday. Kind of surprised to see that to be honest.
  3. This could also be why March has become more of a winter month in dc lately.
  4. We had a nice ice storm that accumulated on the roads here in nw dc less than two weeks ago.
  5. Yeah... the trends def are not good but we have a major issue with calling a storm before it even starts. The last three day snowfall was an excellent example... everyone was whining and bitching for days but we still managed 5.5 beautiful inches in nw and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Some of our members would should check out Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations.
  6. We have busted high many a time. Most recently Jan 2019 was a nice positive bust.
  7. The snow map is def wonky. I’m seeing temps on the para of about 32-33 in the northern half of the district at least. Hoping that that might be at least good for 1-2 inches of snow/sleet.
  8. It’s frustrating... but hopefully we can catch a break this time... it’s very close and I’ll pretty much take sleet or snow at this point.
  9. The NAM nest shows a general 3-7 inches from just south of DC to the PA line.
  10. If DC gets the 1.4 inches of qpf the NAM spots out in frozen form over the next 84 hours... whether that be snow or sleet or freezing rain... I’ll be pretty satisfied.
  11. The NAM shows the temp dropping below freezing early tomorrow morning. But yeah... that’s almost always a concern in the city unfortunately, even more so downtown.
  12. Thats kind of picking the worst panel... and doesn't really give a good overview of the general pattern evolution.
  13. It was actually pretty decent... even from Uber long range.
  14. As a resident of DC for almost 30 years... it does snow here contrary to popular opinion. I don’t think this will have any problem sticking. Every time we have a snow drought period it’s really impacted the boards psyche.
  15. I’ll take whatever we can get in dc. Euro still looks good for at least 3 inches and is the furthest south driest... Hopefully the trend stops at 18z.
  16. It’s below freezing... think that would be sleet on the icon.
  17. Definitely. The NAM does show dewpoints around 27-29 with a temp of 33 during moderate snow at night. Would imagine wet bulbing would be more effective...
  18. I’m doing the same... honestly.... I live in NW DC and even though I haven’t maxed out on every event so far this year, I’ve enjoyed each one and am looking forward to this weeks event, even if it isn’t 18 inches with drifts to 5 feet and temps crashing to zero.
  19. The 6z gfs run had at least five separate (mostly snowy threats). We don’t live in Whistler, BC or even Davis, wv for that matter.
  20. Apparently, when model consensus is greater than 6 inches at DCA 36 hours out, we have that luxury.
  21. In my experience, the feb 10th sunlight factor under overcast conditions with Igor snow and temps around 28, would not inhibit accumulation even on paved surfaces. That’s just been my experience.
  22. This is more of an overrunning situation, not like the previous two storms where intense banding resulted in large areas of subsidence. Overrunning tends to be far more uniform.
