still snow here. probably will need to venture out soon. got half treads left on my jeep (100k miles now)...might be a good opportunity to shake off the rust before the inevitable changeover.
-
yea this has all the classic cad traits. just hoping it was underdone here again. it does happen, though more difficult without arctic air.
-
been light snow in bethesda. no issues sticking. it's a snowy type of cold out there.
-
still not ideal for the cities, but it's not going to take much of a shift east and better cad to keep at least the close in burbs snowy.
-
we need tomorrow's air mass and yesterday's system (which would have been a classic warning level event here). the latest nam has the upper level energy moving too far north. if i was in the higher elevations near the mason dixon line i'd feel real good about this storm. around here, i'm just hoping we get a couple hours of snow to start (bonus points for daytime snow).
-
the system reminds me of some of those 90s nor'easters that would drop an easy 2-4/3-5", close schools and then change to a mix/rain.
-
it's an interesting storm regardless of the outcome. that's why i'm not getting too high or low with this, esp in mid-dec without an arctic airmass.
-
yea, looked a little better at the beginning for the cities. it's a good thing we still have a day of modeling because all it's gonna take is a minor shift east.
-
rgem looks like a hold. maybe even slightly better than 12z.

i went through the same thing last year and ended up with the c940 (14"). so far, so good. i went with that because i liked the keyboard and soundbar. if i have any complaint it's that i'd prefer it to be a 16:10 aspect ratio instead of 16:9. it's also kinda awkward when it's folded, but i almost never use it for that. tent mode is nice, too. fyi, macbook air isn't a 2 in 1 and it's one of the reasons i didn't go with it. i wanted the versatility.
-
cooler waters lol. i think we're just dealing with a mid-dec coastal versus january. emotions aside, the solution is pretty reasonable. on the plus side, it's not going to take much to shift the r/s line southeast.
-
pingers in bethesda. kinda suprised by that, but i'm under a legitimate band, so might just be temporary.
-
18 or 0z will be the nam'ing for the northern md to blue ridge crew.
-
the coastal is developing in a good spot on the nam, but it's moving due north whereas the gfs is off the coast. assuming the off the coast idea is correct, i would think the nam adjusts further se.
-
it's a large scale system which is probably why that's happening and it's the first legit trackable event. cad is often times underdone (per mets), so that might be something worth keeping an eye on. it's not an arctic airmass ala pd2 and it's mid-dec, so there'll be challenges, but i'm fine with snow to start and rolling the dice from there.
-
the cold air damming looks pretty legit, even on 18z. i would think (saying this 4 days out) that starting as frozen is a pretty good bet. question is how far west that primary goes, amongst other things. looks juicier this run, too.
-
Might have been too lol. Jan and feb were skating rinks around here
-
That one might have been February. Storm formed along a stalled front and was supposed to snow here but ended being an absurd sleet storm. Nyc had like a foot of snow I think. That January was notorious for ice.
-
Working on 1.5 hrs of downpours here. Glad I took my MTB in for service because trails are gonna be a mess after this.
-
Yea I just heard a couple of rumbles
-
Yea it’s tapped out here and still going. Certainly tropical-like in that regard.
-
It’s been pouring here the last 30 mins or so. Wouldn’t be surprised to see some localized flash flood warnings if it continues.
-
well, at least for the time being, the storm looks like it's highly interested in the beltway and southern moco.
-
and it was great for 13z. it'll change again at 15z. i think we need to get rid of these debris clouds, though.
-
clouds have returned, but satellite shows clearing to the southwest.
