18z Euro looks good for a region-wide moderate event.  Generally 4-6”+ DC/north.  2-4” EZF/SE MD.  7-9” mountains.

LFG baby!!!!! 

Gosh I’m digging today.  Temp never got above 28, low January sun angle and a nice breeze have made for minimal melt and a nice winter feel. 

Euro has highs in the 20s Friday and Saturday.  Snow on the ground + actual cold. 

Calling it about 6-8 here in Takoma park, too lazy to measure.  Great event and still snowing. 

Great event to get the monkey off our backs…..been a while! Still solid SN and over 6 inches in Takoma park. 

This band over Takoma park is doing work. SN+ with nice dendrites. 

Moderate to almost heavy snow at times.  Breezy with some blowing snow.  Looks like 1-2 inches.  Beautiful.

12z hrrr little slower with pulling the storm away. Snow just exiting stage right from dc at 19z.

Visibility dropping, roads caving, 31.  Small flakes for now.

Once again for anyone who cares the latest HRRR is far more snowy and north than its old runs.

Still likes the idea of absolute crush job from 9-11.  Gonna be fun!!!!!

Everything filling in now up to Baltimore too.  Good stuff incoming. 

Moderate snow and breezy.  Starting to stick everywhere.  Just on the very edge of the big boy band. 

Big band gaining latitude now, perfect timing for daylight crush job in dc metro.  Enjoy the next few hours folks!!!

Last scan finally has the big band pushing north through dc.

Stuck in between bands.  Hoping to get a push from the south up into the dc area.

It’s killing me lol.  But I’ll take our best band during daylight. 

10z hrrr is nice. 6-10 for DC to Baltimore.

The subsidence adjacent to these bands can suck. Kinda stuck in between 2.

Yeah me too….stuck between the dc band and the newly forming moco deathband.

Rolled over and was sure it would be 39 degrees and pouring rain. But it’s dumping out already.  33 and moderate snow in Takoma park.

WB 18Z EURO v. 12Z very close

Noise - glad it held.  Now I can go to bed in peace before the 0z runs.  If it rug pulled us….

Another good run.  By this time tomorrow most of dc Metro should be above average snowfall! Pretty good considering we had Christmas and New Years in the 60s/70s!

Another storm another nearly useless CWG forecast, low-medium confidence forecast of 2-6 inches lol.  For the record I love them and their articles but their snowmaps are brutal.  If you’re already using a 4 inch range and saying it’s low to medium you’re basically saying 0-10 inches….cmon guys.  Just pick a normal range and go with it.

12k NAM basically unchanged from 12z.  Gets some snow in DCA metro but brutal cutoff north of it.  

Looks like it bumped slightly NW, but yeah brutal cutoff still.

Was in the 60s the day before the March 2018 snowstorm in Frederick.  Snow had no problem accumulating 18hrs later.

Models are showing temps dropping 29/30F  in the city with upper 20s north and west.   Warm ground is a big factor when it's 32/33 and snowing lightly.  29 and dumping 2"/hr is going to be a flash freeze and a commutemageddon  if we didn't have the day off.

Also we’re at the time of year where the sun won’t be roasting the stuff as fast as it falls.  I love snow this time of year.

Congrats to the central VA folks...NAM's and now ICON focusing on that area.  

 

Ooff! It’s never easy around here is it? I’ll certainly take the gfs/euro over the nam/icon though.
