The bigger totals are going to be north next week. Bet my bank account on it. State college to Albany to Boston is going to get buried over the next 2+ weeks. But I still think we’re going to get more (maybe a lot more) than many of us would have guessed in a Niña February with SE ridge over us.
Was someone complaining that GFS, GEFS, Icon, GGEM, Ukie, Euro, and EPS all give the metro corridor and surrounding areas a warning level snowfall at D5?
Ukie is roughly GGEM-like. 4-7” or so before a flip to sleet and then dryslot for metro areas. Starts pre-dawn Tuesday. More energy behind but thermals are north.
GGEM has a weak clipper sort of thing in Ontario right as the storm arrives and helps warm things up. Take that away and it’s better for us. But yes, also more strung out.
Biggest difference driving from Columbia to Greenbelt was lack of ice on grass and low-lying surfaces below the fall line. Trees looked a bit icier at home too, but that’s a little harder to distinguish by eye. Car thermometer mostly 33 the whole way.
0.08" ice accumulation as official spotter report
eta...cars and all elevated surfaces pretty coated. Walking around on paved surfaces I didn't notice any slippery spots.
