Good morning weather weenies! I'm pretty happy about all the great reports and pics coming in from up north. Hopefully this band can develop into a surprise 6"+/hr thundersnow band that buries all of us and our worries under 2-3'+ of snow! Now you all know what to do. WEENIE ME UP! ... 33/17 at IAD under mainly cloudy skies at IAD atm.

31/18 under overcast skies at IAD.

@DDweatherman

Morning lows: IAD: 12F (coldest of the season) DCA: at least 17F(have to see intrahour) BWI: at least 15F(have to see intrahour)

I like the snow squall that the 3kNAM is selling.

The 3km NAM shows a nice snow squall moving through from NW to SE. Soundings show steepening low-level lapse rates as the disturbance moves through the region leading to some 0-50j/kg MUCAPE (generally below 700mb) on this model.

*Adds "Apocalyptic Frost Quake" to a certain list.* 17/1 at IAD this morning. DCA into the teens again (down to at least 19F).

What direction does your back and front yard face?

Clap!

This map style brings back pre-2016 blizzard memories.

LOL! See @NorthArlington101's thread.

IAD beating out all the other airports with heat last year. So it only makes sense that DCA would beat out all the other airports with snow this winter.

I don't know how road conditions are up there or how much the temperature rose up there but it's currently 41F at IAD. However my neighborhood sideroads (Herndon, VA. ~2 miles from the airport) are still slushy and slick. Main roads appear to be marginally better. However, I don't know exactly how roads are between here and Frederick.

I got sight of the moon overhead. What a weird tropical cyclone.

IAD gusted to 50 kts (58mph)

Umm... IAD just gusted up to 56mph out of the ENE!

Just a little more than 1 1/2 hours after it was 23F IAD has officially hit the freezing mark. IAD: 32/29 as of 7:36pm. Strong WAA doing its thing.

Wonder how much accretion we get on the trees before we pull far enough above that freezing mark for accretion to stop? Probably enough to make the trees look pretty.
