Wow.  It did sorta push west a bit.  

That low needs to hit the gym. Real weak. 

29.6/25.9 Radar shows returns in the area. Isn't this kind of early?

0z NBM is holding steady.  I assume the 0z NAM will either come back to earth or show a sleet storm for I-95

 

In that post with all of the models it shows a slight curve of the swath of heavier precip toward western PA. What is causing that?

I think there is still room for improvement…call me crazy 

You so crazy. Only because I agree. Trend is our friend this time.

Interesting that the two previous storms were drought-busters and we finally get the cold and the heavy moisture is nowhere to be found. lol. Where's atmospheric memory when ya need it?

Speaking of Richmond, VA getting more, I recall the last 5 years or so, that area jackpoting more than usual or at least getting more snow than DC. 

Loved the little snow TV we got today. Kids loved it. Been so long. Thankful.

Everything  is right in the world, now. The Mid Atlantic is going to get snow.

I know. I had to rush and get my kids new snow boots. They haven't had to get any for the past two years. Had to get new sizes. lol. Let's see if they get to wear them this week. 

2" is good to make the younger kids happy. Not sure about the teens. I'll take it!

The one I referenced uses Google's Deepmind.

If Deepmind is wrong we are in Deepshit

Call it DeepSnow. Perhaps we'll have better snow forecasts.

This hobby is stupid lol 

Compared to day-trading, this is nothing. Not only do you get emotional when the market swings, you also lose or gain money. lol At least this hobby has o financial impact. :-)

yall know creating a thread doesn't have a single impact on a storm, right? 

I say let's live a little. Throw caution to the wind. YOLO!

looks like we could be setting up for multiple light over running events after next week, 2" of cold smoke every few days would be great

And with remote learning a thing post-covid, my house will be full of........joy. 

I guess winds at my house never really mixed down far enough. The winds in my backyard only got as high as 15mph. 

Hmmmm. My wind sensor is still reading only a 10mph top wind in the last hour. Wonder if it is my geography. It has a clear line to the south. I guess I need a 100ft pole to get good wind readings?

I'm honestly shocked that Fairfax County hasn't made the call, given the other counties doing so. I guess they figure they didn't do it early enough, so they'll stick to their guns and not piss off the folks whose daily routines it would upset.

I'm pretty ambivalent about it, to be honest.

I was told when I dropped my son off this morning that schools would be closing early. Being a Gex Xer I was like for some rain and wind? lol

At least we can officially call the drought done. We needed a wet winter and we got it.

yeah. I was going to say, this is definitely the drought-buster we needed. Just now in snow form. 

Just put up my wind sensor this weekend. Should be fun watch the wind speeds on it! Getting high wind watches on my weather radio right now.

The BIG ones lock in early. You should know that better than anyone. 

If by lock-in you mean locking you in a psychological torture chamber, then yes. Let's get locked in.  But seriously, I do hope that whatever is sniffed out this far does actually happen. We need a win.

Looks great!! Long way to go still but the 10 days will go fast

Don't go chasin' blizzards stick to the cold rain and sleet you're used to.

220/50 intersection in WV south of Cumberland.

 

Love driving through Cumberland. I love Maryland's geographical diversity.

34°

Holding steady at 28°

28°

36.3 here. Temp droped for 40 pretty fast. 

BTW, I heard one of the aliens from the Miami Mall say that they are going to aim their weather ray at the Mid-Atlantic so we can cash in. I got excited, but the video was shot with a 1982 VHS shoulder cam. So the video was grainy, and the sound was not so great.

Here's to some white stuff for everyone tomorrow! 

Don't the best snow storms usually start in southern Texas and travel over or just north of the Gulf of Mexico then curve through Georgia and up the coast? I figure this storm started out a bit too north.
