    I’d wager this has been like 6-8:1 ratios outside of brief interludes.
  2. WxUSAF
    Temp down to 27, coldest of the day. If we get some FZDZ, will certainly make things slick. Still teeny snowflakes for now.
  3. WxUSAF
    3” of sand, I mean snow, has finally accumulated after 10 hours.
  4. WxUSAF
    I show up as “2 W Elkridge”, but yes Columbia. Another spotter is nearby with the same handle.
  5. WxUSAF
    2.7” with my 4pm spotter report
  6. WxUSAF
    Yup, it’s never been good.

    Visibility down to 0.5”mi or so, so legit mod snow. Keep this up for a few more hours and 4-5” will be easy. Took a drive to get my daughter and side roads all covered. Even main roads a little slushy.

    2.5”. 0.6” last hour so definitely picked up. First time the visibility has noticeable decreased. Wind picking up a little too.
  9. WxUSAF
    1.9”, 0.2” the last hour. But flakes and rates increased in the last 20mins or so, so hopefully will pile up faster.
  10. WxUSAF
    Yeah, they just became non-microscopic. When the bigger flakes have happened today, it’s a respectable 0.5”/hr or so.

    Yummy, I might bail on this storm for next weekend. GGEM is very similar
  12. WxUSAF
    Ugh that better band is over me and still just teeny flakes
  13. WxUSAF
    It’s more of an inverted trough feature. The true CCB tomorrow doesn’t do much for us. Maybe another inch or two. IVTs can put down some snow but they are notoriously hard to predict far in advance.
  14. WxUSAF
    That’s like the 8th run in a row with that feature?? Please be right, please be right...
  15. WxUSAF
    I mean, even if this doesn’t pick up dramatically, another 8-12 hours like this will rack up 4-6” total for DC area and MBY. It’s not sexy, but it’s steady. Hopefully we can get a good burst or two at some point.
  16. WxUSAF
    It has been incredibly insistent on that. Damn I hope it holds.
  17. WxUSAF
    1.7” first snowboard wipe
  18. WxUSAF
    Flake quality improving slowly as the radar hopefully continues to fill in.
  19. WxUSAF
    1.5”. About 0.25-0.4”/hr. Mostly needles with some rimed dendrites mixed in.
  20. WxUSAF
    Huh, yeah I see that now, but total precip through Wednesday morning is very similar. Haven’t looked close enough yet to see where para makes it back up.
  21. WxUSAF
    Actually they look very similar to me now that I look closely?
  22. WxUSAF
    Can tell the column has moistened up and we’re getting better lift now, because even when rates let up a bit, we’re not going back to really tiny flakes.
  23. WxUSAF
    Both drop a solid 0.5” or more of liquid as snow before any mix this evening, so that’s nice to see. Difference is in amounts tomorrow. Guess we’ll see what the King decrees later.
  24. WxUSAF
    GFS jumped on board the Euro and Icon train for you and @JakkelWx with the parting shot on Tuesday. Hope that works out for you all. Non-NAM 12z guidance all seems to suggest a non-bust, if perhaps lower end of forecast ranges for most in the metro corridor.
  25. WxUSAF
    Not sure what you’re aiming for, but I definitely don’t hate it. Nice snow for DC and north tomorrow afternoon.
