Good flake size now, seeing some dendrites, should be better rates.
-
Back to SN
-
Models showed this just seems to be a little quicker than scheduled, which often happens. This might be the end of part 1 for those of us a little north of dc but we’ll see if we can get a little more.
-
OK now in that nasty dry slot. Basically shut off. Lets see if we can get it going again before this part is done.
-
Interestingly not under any returns but getting moderate snow to almost heavy snow in takoma park. The radar is not accurately depicting the snowfall.
-
Dumping snow now right on the edge of the dry slot.
-
Gosh it’s beautiful outside. I moved to takoma park in 2017 and this is the first cold snowstorm we’ve had here. Pretty much all the others I’ve barely had to shovel because the concrete basically melted on its own. This is great.
-
Oh wow that’s a good run. Still 4-6+ to come.
-
First legit heavy snow here since sunrise.
-
I always calibrate my measurements with you, we seem to get about the same.
-
5.2 inches after carefully measuring in multiple locations. Snowing moderately.
-
Lotta dry air suddenly on the NW side of the shield, hopefully can flush that out and get back to business.
-
That's north of where all the models had it. Let's hope it stops there.
-
3.75 inches at 24 degrees and snowing moderately/heavily. So grateful for this. Go enjoy it now .
-
I wouldn’t say bad. This is typical for overrunning. We usually get the fatties with coastal.
-
Banding setting up over dc metro now
-
hrrr shuts off the good stuff around noon. Lunch time lull nap.

January Medium/Long Range: A snowy January ahead?

Man that is a proper nuke. Let’s see if we can get the euro on board. This isn’t even that far out. -
Hey neighbor!!!
-
None of the roads are being pre treated here. Not even the major ones like Georgia Ave.
-
I don’t think we mix tomorrow, but if I’m wrong and we do it’s not going to be consequential. This isn’t a warm nose that’s gonna blast through and cut our overrunning in half, it’s during the lull/dry slot and temps will be 26 in dc so we don’t have to worry about melting. Part 1 and 2 are gonna be clean I think in dc proper.
-
New HRRR is 0.14 QPF with the coastal for my backyard. Even here in urban heat island hell we may be able to do 12:1 or 14:1 with that. Gonna be a beautiful 1-3 inches on top of the overrunning.
-
Pretty cool to have a 24 hour event and not one of these in and out deals. Watching the sim radar on the 3k ñam it really looks like dc metro is in a prime spot. Gets the initial WAA band and then never really dry slots before the coastal. Just a beautiful progression for us.
-
It’s been a long long time since we’ve been under freezing day before a storm. When did we last have actual cold in place like this?? None of the recent storms were very cold.
-
Tomorrow might be cold enough that the advantage of being north isn’t as important. If it’s like 33 in dc and 27 in Frederick it matters a lot. But it looks like mid 20s everywhere tomorrow.
