Taken verbatim re 06z ICON snow amounts: 2" just SW of BWI out towards HGR... 4" line is near DCA out towards MRB... 6" by EZF and Warrenton and Luray and probably just south of Winchester. Take as you wish
ETA: Still snowing in a lot of areas at 120... so there would be some accumulations after 120. 06z ICON ends at 120
Just a tiny difference between the 06z ICON and the 00z ICON
06z ICON has snow moving into DCA at 111 (21z SAT). Snows for rest of the run at DCA. Sharp northern edge however (of course)... which is up by the M/D line as the run ends at 120
Would the 06z ICON be good for us if it went out another 24 hours? I would think so... with a 1040 HP sliding eastward into Quebec and a 1039 in ND... but the SLP on the OK/TX border at 1003mb is giving me slight pause with the h5 energy/shortwave being a bit far behind -- or is that the kicker?
Also, I'd think that huge ocean low would help with the HP getting blocked up in Quebec, yes?
*shudders violently*
I was in HS at the time and had really gotten into weather few years prior. Wasn't on weather boards yet. I remember hearing the forecast as pazzo said. I was telling my classmates and teachers we were going to get crushed with snow and don't worry about doing your homework.
Woke up, green grass and yeah. Remember trying to get out of going to school because I didn't want to deal with everyone lol
