A human takes credit for a robot detecting a robot. That's the funniest thing I've seen.

The Capital Weather Gang posts a forecast that they're only 50% sure about lol

1/25-26 First Call Snowfall Forecast From the JV Team Hopefully the map is pretty self-explanatory. That thick blue line is the dividing line between all snow and mixing. Tonight this forecast will be refined. This will likely be the most impactful winter storm in the DMV region since 2016, even though mixing with sleet and freezing rain will occur. Temperatures will be cold throughout the storm and will struggle to reach 25. Snowfall ratios at the beginning of the storm will likely be around 16:1 and will slowly decrease to around 9:1, before mixing, where freezing rain and sleet will make conditions all the more dangerous. Snowfall rates during the heaviest returns will be upwards of 1-2" per hour, occasionally reaching 3" in isolated areas (which are currently unknown as we are too far out for CAMs to realistically hone in on those areas) where h7 FGEN goes crazy (credit to @MillvilleWx). After the storm, temperatures will remain frigid, and it's unlikely that high temperatures reach above freezing until February. Your snow/sleet/ice will turn into glacier. Prepare now. Make sure to get all your essential needs, like food, water, and a source of heat if your power goes out due to the ice.

Really? I'll go research those. I only know the famous ones.

Look at that confidence interval as well... We've got the day after the second Feb 2010 blizzard, the day before the blizzard of 2016... and then there's Feb 18, 2025

Modern day 2009-10 back to back major winter storms

GEFS nuke

ICON was actually a tick SE and gave most areas (including NW areas) about 25% more snow.

ICON is 6-12", more NW, less SE. I'm going to take that and run,

72 to 75 was.... weird. mix line jumped 100 miles north suddenly?

mix line actually a good 50 miles south of 6z

I think the NAM phased better but the confluence was more south hence it's more amped and it's a slight shift south?

NAM heights are a little bit lower than 6z, and the Canadian HP is 1047 instead of 1045

Looking over Kuchera it looks like the average GFS ratio is ~14:1 while the average Euro ratio will be ~13:1 (for DC, Balt) Take from that what you will, but I would say that's a decent estimate, if anything a little bit high.

Mount Holly doing Mount Holly things...

BEFORE the mix, not including possible back end, mix line shifted SE about 5 miles

0z Euro gonna be better I think

Excuse me sir, I bought it from Lowes.

I would generally agree with the fact that the CMC hasn't won anything yet, but you don't have to be a complete asshole and add that "common sense" remark. Come on...

The sounding was today as well, though.

1/21/2026. It's today.

Can anybody confirm whether this is legit?

Okay, RGEM's confluence a hair souther

Is the ICON ingesting the recon data?

That Baja low is not budging...
