  1. Pinning this for obs for our lucky southern half of the subforum.
  2. People should be specific, but news flash, we’re going to have a pinned obs thread for this storm because it will impact our sub forum. I will fill it with posts about 35F and cloudy.
  3. Surprising given how bad 500 looked. Maybe the stronger s/w is finally counting for something.
  4. Oh? Then precip is responding differently because 500 looks crappy compared to yesterday’s crappy 12z run.
  5. Just looks like noise. Nothing appreciably shifted.
  6. I think this is a reasonable target from where we are now.
  7. Yup. At the moment I think hoping that the QPF max is over DC-Balt is pretty big reach. But I think we're still very much in the game to have that northern edge/cutoff draped somewhere through the region.
  8. There does seem to be a pattern in the last 5 days where are "best" runs are 0z. Probably coincidence, but weird. We need the storm to hit around 6z Monday obvs.
  9. Infinitesimal shift south on the confluence leads to a ~20-50mi south shift on precipitation extent on the GFS. Southern s/w seems to continue to trend every so slightly stronger each run, but it doesn't seem to make much difference. That northern s/w that's trying to phase is slower and that doesn't help. Next.
  10. Wow, I like it. All in all, I still feel like we're in just ping-pong mode. I was hoping EPS would keep trending positively, but it put us almost exactly back to yesterday 12z. As much as I wish we'd either by in or out, I think this one is going to string us along for awhile more.
  11. Jan 30, 2010 was showing up on the analogs earlier this week I think for this storm.
  12. Worse than 0z it seems but it looks better than the 12z GFS through 120 at least (at 500mb). Ugh at 144 though.
  13. Through 72, euro looks better than yesterday's 12z at least in all the ways I can see. Confluence better, s/w deeper and northern s/w deeper and closer as well. How did last night's 0z look as a reminder?
  14. EPS seems to be trending. Fingers crossed that continues at 12z. Ukie aside, we do seem to have gotten rid of the WAY far south solutions that don’t get precip north of the Va/NC line in the last day. Consensus right now puts the cutoff between shoveling and tears between RIC and EZF.
  15. Wettest year on record for BWI after yesterday’s storm. Over 63” now with a month and a half left in the year.
  16. Final spreadsheet 2018 First Freeze Contest.xlsx
  17. Drumroll please! The 2018 Mid-Atlantic First Freeze Contest winner is: @2010 extreme! @2010 extreme won with a total departure of just 9 days, @Cobalt came in 2nd place with 11 days, followed by @yoda with 13 days and @nj2va with 15 days. Our combined average dates resulted in a departure of 32 days.
  18. First freeze contest is over! I’ll post results later today.
  19. BWI: 31.5” DCA: 22.7” IAD: 35.2” RIC: 21.1” SBY: 16.6” MBY: 34.2”
