I would say that getting thermals right is pretty important
-
Every model lost in some way. Canadian was the first I think to show that we could get screwed upstairs. Euro/Nam is typically the best combo…we just had hope because it was so damn cold leading in. Long story short, models have gotten significantly better overall and hoping they’re wrong is getting to be irrational.

It’s the thermal sheriff
-
I was checking the nam from yesterday and it looked like it was forecasting gaudy qpf amounts but maybe less than the euro. I didn’t check too closely though. I’m going to assume officially there was closer to 6” snow near downtown Frederick and a few inches of sleet. Seems like further south may have done better overall with qpf but still healthy regardless.
-
I’m obviously kidding. But off in qpf in what way? I unofficially measured 5” of high ratio snow in multiple places and it wasn’t really pouring sleet here…more like moderate for hours. I have no idea what the melted qpf is but it didn’t seem that far off. Maybe it was, idk.

The Nam is the new sheriff in town
-
I’m here bc of the 18z euro.
-
Seems like we got stung by a lack of blocking/la Nina combo. But I generally agree that if we’re gonna waste an inch or whatever of qpf, this is the most wintry way to do it.

Charge your phone and laptop time.

Ugly. This is the week to catch up on work and life lol -
The whistle pig 6 yr is pretty good. I almost caved and got eh Taylor the other day but all the stores price gouge the allocated stuff now.
-
At this point, 52 sounds really nice lol. It’s just nasty out rn. I actually like the wintry part but roads are really gonna suck for a few days. Glad I stocked up
-
Very disruptive storm and interesting…but man…if this was all snow…
-
Often times we’d flip back to snow as the upper level low approaches, but this one looks like it’ll just end as sleet/fzra. Hopefully next storm we can get that primary/upper level low moving under our latitude.
-
Sleet has marched its way into Frederick. Car hood measurement of 5.25”. Curious what the official reports will be.
-
Lol we need some thurmont posters. I bet they’re gonna hold on longer there.
-
I’m glad I joined an indoor gym for the winter. I don’t think this is the last storm we see.
-
Still decent flakes in the Whittier area
-
Up to 5-5.5” here. Still mostly snow but a lot of riming.
-
Hissing sound has begun as the inevitable flip nears.
-
Healthy volume of dendrites still falling from the sky in Frederick.
-
There is an underrated aspect to sleet, and it’s a lot better than freezing rain.
-
Very inspiring seeing a change back to snow even if rate-dependent. Usually when it flips it’s wraps.
-
Still all snow here. Might take one last stroll soon, though was hoping it could wait longer lol.

Hold the fort down
