  1. DC flips by 78 but we'd still be happy. 8" non-Kuchera.
  2. Precip looks to end up delayed not denied - wetter at 72
  3. Looks a bit slower toggling back and forth on WxBell. But like an hour or two. If you think it's drier you are probably also right
  4. I think this hobby suffers from the same issues that plague the world -- too much information, a rush to be first, a drive toward saying polarizing things to get attention. I can't come up with a solution to any of these problems other then some slight unplugging. I'm not sure there was a way to have watched this storm and not feel at least a little rugpulled/frustrated, though. Sometimes that just happens.
  5. Getting dangerously close to banter so mods move if you want but I'm pretty sure that was an instance of confluence weakening. Snowstorm wasn't really supposed to make it as far as it did (i.e., to Cville, Fredericksburg) a day or two before it happened. Folks probably wanted it to weaken more then it did but it weakened.
  6. I feel like confluence is one of those things that never trends stronger going into gametime. Maybe it's just the position we usually watch from, but I feel like we're always watching it weaken. Or maybe I'm totally crazy.
  7. The RRFS & the 3k map the 700mb level (seemingly our warm level) cold out similarly and it's deeper/more impressive than the 12k. I'm willing to toss the 12k flipping us quite so fast on those merits. Really need the typical gametime WAA-juicy trend to start hitting some of these higher end forecast numbers, though. Still like 5" as a floor, I hope.
  8. Wiki article says Falls Church got 13". I totally believe you though... classic DCA crummy elevation screw job.
  9. Not to trigger @mattie g but I know our climo. Gonna hedge the snow a little low. We'll sleet earlier than we want.
  10. I think we'd all sign on the dotted line for this right now? 100%ish chance at WSW snow and then whatever else happens happens?
  11. Yeah, I don't really view this as the mean going down. I mean, I guess it obviously did (lol), but I'm just seeing this as our goalposts appropriately narrowing.
  12. I guess... plenty of time to juice it back up a bit and it typically happens in these kind of setups. I'm just happy to not be worrying about surface temps.
  13. I feel like the energy in here is shifting the wrong way for pretty much no reason? If you are holding onto the GFS as anything but a longshot perfect outcome, you're gonna have a bad time. But everything else pretty much tells the same story: 5-8"+ for most people in the metros on the thump then we go to sleetmaggedon. Usual folks out west probably climb above 1'. It's not gonna rain, at least. Gonna be wicked in it's own way.
  14. I agree - was hoping that would lead to a downstream outcome more like the GFS. I believe some of the nerds I listened to saw some positives at h5 in the Euro, but it ended up being drier and flipping us at essentially the same time. So kinda meh overall. Gonna be on repeat all the next 2 days mostly to convince myself but I think I'm fine with 5" then sleet storm.
  15. It does but I'm deferential to the NAMs not being totally wrong and feel like this should be more sleet. We'll see
  16. Euro is colder at 850s this run, at least. It’s at least a stop the “bleeding” run
  17. EURO def south with the initial WAA pus, at least
  18. 5”+ inches of snow with the thump then we sleet. That’s where we’re rolling. Better than rain
  19. Sporadically on his remaining channels. I'm not actually in any of them - just get them shared through the grapevine and try to pass them along here. Was honking late Jan - early Feb as his favorite period since Jan 2022.
