Hahaha that was a full marathon! 26.2
-
Kids are good, I’m good. I feel like I’m doing as well as someone could. It’s one of those things in life that you have no control over so there’s no point in letting it completely ruin your present. Of course I think about her all the time but she would be happy to see me happy and doing well with the kids.

Totally unrelated to the current drama but I did a marathon yesterday. As some of you know I lost my wife last summer and now I’m a single parent of two small kids. Running has been the thing that keeps me sane. There were no real races to do so I just did my own marathon at east Potomac park. I did it totally unsupported and used my car as the aid station. I’ve never done a race before but this was really fun! I want to do a real one now!
-
Would be cool if some of that streamed over the apps, all I want is like an hour of snow that sticks lol.
-
I know radar extrapolation rarely works out but ITS ALL WE HAVE LEFT.
-
Not sure if this will end up being meaningful in any way but neither NAM or HRRR appears to have initialized with that band of precip in Tennessee. Edit: newest HRRR has it but it looks much weaker than it does in real life.
-
No question. Pathetic event for the most part pathetically modeled by the globals. Waste of time hahaha but oh well I got to look at some pretty digital snow.
-
It really has felt like a the models have been gaslighting us more than usual this year. As of like 36 hours the GEFS was trending better every run and had pink down into the metro areas.
-
Yep. Here too. Good riddance to this pathetic event and my 90 seconds of heavy snow.
-
It lasted for about 1 minute lol and then went back to sleet.
-
I'd be amazed if the heavies last til noon. My guess is closer to 11 for most of us if not sooner.
-
Same for me. I had like a minute of heavy snow now it's back to intermittent parachutes. Oh well. Back edge racing up at least I got to see some fatties before this wraps up. Even though I don't love sleet still a winter event that is better than 35 and white rain.
-
Switched to heavy snow in Takoma Park too, very cool. Would love to keep this going for a while.
-
So what are we thinking? An hour or two more of the heavy stuff? NAM 3k has the heavy stuff outta here 11am-12am and the HRRR maybe an hour after that.
-
Absolutely pounding sleet now.
-
I dunno why anyone would like sleet. It sleets hard and then you have nothing to show for it. At least freezing rain makes the trees look pretty.
-
Snow mixing in Takoma park, or so it looks from inside.
-
So the NAM from a few days ago as our far NW outliner wins again. Sheesh.
-
so I guess the GFS para wasn’t right hahaha? Sounds like a lot of sleet outside.
-
It looks like some oscillating between sleet/snow in the heavy precip. Should be fun for sure.
-
Looks like almost sleet if not sleet to me, but close.
-
Little Rock has a snow depth of 14 inches so my bar for this storm just became 14 inches.
-
Hey it’s actually in the 20s before a storm! 29/16.
-
And warmer too for DC. 850s knocking on the door at 12z.

BTW is it nice for you to be out of urban heat island hell? I remember all your obs from past events basically 40 degrees and sad hahaha. Do you take some trips up to Canaan at all?
