Noticed the same on this morning's pupwalk. Really pretty pinks with orange hues. Currently 23 in Burke. Didn't realize it's supposed to get into the mid- to upper-40s today until I just checked wunderground. I'm guessing we'd be well into the 70s if not for the snowpack.

I only just found out about 5.1. It’s the 5.6 that I’ve heard lots about…
-
I didn’t, but I have heard that someone in Maryland only has 5.6”!

Wouldn’t have figured you were pretty much at the bottom of the list this year since you don’t bring it up in every. f’ing. post.

Dude…you need to stop with this. You’ve been at this long enough to know that anything past 5-7 days is prone to huge swings, especially in a non-blocky pattern! We're going to have plenty of chances coming up over the next month, and we won’t have confidence in most of them more than 3-4 days out. Let’s keep an eye on things but not invest one way or another!

It had a blizzard for this sub for like 1.25 runs. The rest of the time it had essentially the same event that transpired.

Pretty much human nature. We don’t want bad things to happen, so we try to wish good things into existence and we don’t want to get carried away when things seem to be too good. There’s also the whole PTSD thing from sucking pretty hard for pretty much the last eight years…

…plenty more. This is going to be fun and frustrating in equal measure to track for the next couple/few weeks!

Measured 1.0” on the dot at 8:00 am and nearby reports are 1.0-1.5”, still go with my measurement. That was the low end of my expectations and I’m fine with that!

Just popped my head out when letting the dog out for a pee. Looks like we’ve had some rimed flakes in Burke, but that’s about it. You can see the individual flakes - nothing coated.
-
Man…thank goodness you were browbeaten into posting that! So useful!
-
Yeah…you can tell we score at least something there. I hate flipping (with a f’ing passion), but we ride the line and accept what happens. It’s just really neat to see the obvious CAD on a view of the entire continent. Super geeky.
-
That CAD signal is honestly pretty f’ing cool.

No political posts!

61 of which were reminiscing about a busted forecast from 24 years ago…

Interesting perspective on the school closings:

Why lol?

...as long as the nothern vort doesn't crush things.

I haven't been anywhere farther than maybe 1.5 miles away since the storm, so my perspective is pretty limited...but I've only seen roads that are fine, including my 13-home cul-de-sac. Like yours, mine was addressed very quickly and efficiently - we were essentially snow-free by noon on Tuesday. It's just interesting to hear that they've screwed up so royally that streets like ours are fine but others are a mess.
-
This has honestly been my expectation for the 36-48 hours. Once that northern vort was consistently crushing everything across guidance, I figured it was time to set the floor and ceiling pretty low. Makes it all much more palatable.

I was about to post similar. Took the pup out this morning and it was pretty damn chilly. At one point, he squatted and took a dump and, in my rush to close the poop bag, I dropped it and I got a small smear on my coat. That shit froze up pretty quickly.

It's not any more unsafe to go to the bus stop, but the schools don't want the bad PR and/or potential lawsuit should some kid slip and get hurt in the process of getting to school. That's really all it is. The likelihood of something bad happening is incredibly small, but in a litigious society those potentially being litigated against don't want to take chances.
