  1. Fitting end to the ravens season with another f-cking exhausting game to watch
  2. I'll try to make a more thorough post later, but as best as I can see, we want that ocean storm to stay offshore and try and act somewhat like a 50/50 storm to suppress the flow and force the storm for next weekend under us. Too strong and west and it will crush that subsequent storm. Too weak and OTS and that storm may cut.
  3. I wonder if the 89 bust is the one I remember vividly from childhood. Remember being convinced of a snowday for the next day and woke up to clear blue sky. I was so so mad and dejected that day.
  4. Just had a shower pass through with temp of 30
  5. There’s maybe an outside chance at something light with the warm front around Wednesday/Thursday.
  6. The threat window opens +/- Friday IMO. And gets better most likely as we move into the following week. But there’s a ton of shortwaves flying around and the track of any storm is contingent on the conditions prepared by the previous wave. I think it’s possible by Tuesday that we might know if we’re in the game for something in the Friday-Sunday period. Anything after that will take longer. Don’t get too beholden too any individual Op scenario until a storm is within 72-96 hours at most.
  7. “Now witness one of nature’s great spectacles. Middle aged men take their first teetering steps into a world transformed by ice and snow.”
  8. Places that can retain some snowpack through tomorrow will see it turn into a glacier with the absorbed moisture from the rain and then very cold temps.
  9. Not yet… Hit 16F IMBY before midnight, then temps rose for several hours. Now back down to 17F.
  10. Down to 19 so far in Columbia
  11. Monday’s snow stuck to my solar panels more than any snowfall in the last 5 winters since I got them. 0 power since Sunday.
  12. Hmmm…very puzzling. BWI climate report still says 6.0” on the LWX webpage.
  13. Check into BWIs total. Think they revised downward on Monday.
  14. I empathize with the Monday miss but today was a lucky low end warning/high end advisory snow. Northern stream Miller B that we got that? Gravy. Boston cleans up on those, we usually lose.
  15. These two events were perfect in a lot of ways. Didn’t really give them any significance until about 48-72 hours, low emotional investment going in, then both overperformed IMBY. Wonderful.
  16. Midnight high of 34, daytime high of 29, low today will be whatever it gets to at midnight. Currently 26.
  17. Yeah perhaps. A bit of even-ing out. Jan 2019 was the last luck DC has had for sure with the mesoscale band adding several more inches at the end of the storm. I caught that band as well, but it stopped literally a couple miles to my east. Last year was a hair's breadth from being really great for the whole region, we had the storms, but couldn't get or keep a "good enough" airmass to save our lives. Hence 5-6" at DCA, 17" for me, and like 50" for you.
  18. ^nice. 10.7" at the closest to me and I measured 10.8".
