Snow starts at 120btw. 5 days. -

Considering it didn’t really have a storm last run, this is an acceptable amount of progress. Would be a pretty annoying final outcome, though (not for our Eastern Shore folks though) -

I think it’s gonna go a little late for us. But much better and closer. -

Unsurprisingly, some big hits in the GEFS. 6/30 pretty good. 1/30 meh. Rest say no thanks for us at least - some OBX winners. But big jump from previous runs. -

ICON got closer but is wayyy too positively tilted for now. But closer. -
January 24-26: Miracle or Mirage OBS Thread!
NorthArlington101 replied to Jebman's topic in Mid Atlantic
I was gonna go with 7.5” off vibes but I need to see what the spotters around me do. Initial reports made no sense… one 7.0” in Anacosta at 12:30 and a 7.5” in NW… math not mathing. Took a super quick walk and it’s a glacier. My fairly main DC roads are not awesome. Wonder if we really get back to regular commute on Tuesday. -

Rumor on the block is this nailed today’s storm. Got any more thoughts on it from a more educated perspective? -

Verbatim yeah but I’d say it’s a tick or two more interesting than the 12z ENS. -

Did you see the EURO? Right above? Idk. I’ll take my odds on a EURO/AIFS combo with some random AI stuff thrown in at Day 7. We’ve got a fighting chance -

Seen a couple AI models like the period, including the Google Weathernext 2, which seems to be doing well recently. I’m still interested. -

Up to 27 degrees in DC vs. 21 degrees at my family’s house in Arlington. Some tight temperature gradients going on today. -

Also a glaze starting to appear in DC. Definitely a sleet/freezing rain mix. Not sure what to think about the next few hours. Definitely haven’t felt compelled to go outside since this morning beyond just observing a sleet pack for a second. -

Pure sleet rip page. Hard to not do the “what if it was snow” but this is cool. No idea how much. -

NorthArlington101 replied to Jebman's topic in Mid Atlantic
I probably should’ve cleared my “snowboard” but figured it was gonna be tough to keep track of. Just trying to appreciate what’s falling one way or the other… it’s ripping pellets -

Modeling consensus is definitely that this misses us off shore. Would rather not wait til 384 so just gonna keep tracking it until it’s off the end. Why not. -

I’m still crossing my fingers and hoping never… but let us know if ya’ll do. Probably means we’re a few hours from a flip. Send the dumping sleet up here too! I want to truly get sandblasted -

January 24-26: Miracle or Mirage JV/Banter Thread!
NorthArlington101 replied to SnowenOutThere's topic in Mid Atlantic
Guess mileage is gonna vary here depending on spot. Most of the globals had me in the 7-9” range for snow and I’m at 5”. NAMs were usually too low but minus a really off run usually 3-4”. -

Only good if OPM gives another day off. -

You still pinging @katabatic ? Realize now that Wisp isn't that far from you... would be quite the difference. -

NorthArlington101 replied to SnowenOutThere's topic in Mid Atlantic
You gotta know what to look for. I won't pretend the NAM QPF depiction didn't scare me, but I still assumed it was running at least a bit low. The thermals, on the other hand... I set my alarm for 3am for a reason. Had little doubt pingers would be making it into the Beltway when it said they would. Globals/RGEM overdid it on QPF too, fwiw. I'd still call the NAM a winner. Maybe someone smarter will do a retrospective and the RRFS will have really nailed it, idk -

This is the last time the forum underestimates NAM thermals... until the next marginal event. Seems wrong calling this a "marginal event" when the temperature is in the teens. -

Alright... next. The AIFS and AIGEFS ens are still interesting for next Sunday - moreso the AIFS. Would want to see this come back on an OP run in the next couple of days to make me think we have a real chance.
