28/19 in Arlington. Decided to head back down to my dorms today so I’ll be doing obs form Charlottesville by the time the storm gets here. I know some people dislike CHO but I hope everyone gets the best storm possible.
18z EURO 1hr radar (see other thread) shows that precip might struggle to get going for a little while. With these one-hour radars you can predict weenie suicides down to the hour, it's amazing.
Running with a final total of 11.4” in Charlottesville based on what my friends are measuring. Wicked storm. Based on the number of photos and videos I’ve seen it’s almost like I was there.
I have seven days until my first final and I went back home with my family. I was hoping the north shift was fake and that the RGEM/NAM we’re wrong. EURO and GFS were only calling for 5” this morning. I goofed and I won’t forget it soon!
Can’t help but wonder if the heavy band coming up will help the storm advance a couple extra miles. But that’s weenie-talk, probably not how things actually work.
Lol there was snow reported north of Remington 16 minutes ago according to mPing. It’s still steadily crawling north. We can will this up 10 more miles.
Looks like it doesn’t take a ton of virga to get to precip falling so that’s a decent sign... precip keeps slowly marching N. EURO dusts DC down at 12z.
