Welp drove into dc what a mess, a lot of roads still snow packed. Most streets only one way, people parked in travel lanes. Dc with their usual very half assed plowing except this time it isn’t melting off on its own after 2 days like usual. Dcps probably shouldn’t be open.

NAM looks like it’s gonna be NW again with the precip, I’m hoping to back into snow showers and wind.

Yeah def major, the piles of ice make it look like we had 18 inches. This stuff doesn’t compact or melt in this weather at all.

Maybe the GFS will be right LOLOL

It’s kinda crazy how similar the ai gfs and ai euro look at 156, the surface maps are almost identical. I wonder if the days of purely physics based medium and long range modeling are numbered.

So it looks like both the ai gfs and ai euro agree on a light to moderate event overnight Wednesday into Thursday. Having both AI’s in agreement is good.

Well I’m almost done with my igloo. Gonna finish the dome up top and maybe wrap it a bit more if I have time. Went purely using common sense and in retrospect I should have angled the pieces earlier to make a shorter igloo with a more complete dome. But it’s cool I can stand in there and the kids are having a blast.

Well we’re not wasting it. I have a bullet proof snow pack and an igloo in my front yard.

25 degrees in full sun, what an amazing run of cold. How many days a year do we usually get in the 20s? It feels like barely any and we’re just stringing them together. Also, the amount of snow and the size of the piles is crazy, 9 inches of powder would not look like this. 9 inches of the densest snow/sleet combo known to man hits different 4 days later.

cmc also bumped nw almost gives dc qpf, not giving up hope on a pack refresher.

That’s actually a pretty big jump NW, but I guess this model is even less useful than the GFS. But you’d think there are some big hits in there to get the mean near 5 inches in dc.

I think it’s gonna be cold and the long wave pattern is good and it’s our prime climo. Hopefully stuff pops up!

ICON with a nice bump NW, coastal areas back in play. Maybe we can back into some light snow at least?

It is look better this run, not sure if it would be enough to matter for us.

NAM digging that vort a bit more west lolololol, couldn’t help myself
