I'm going to the Wizards game tonight with my son to see my Timberwolves play...debating on driving or metro

 

Whew! for a minute there I thought you were going to watch the wizards. 

 

That's a really tough call. It depends on how empty the offices are today and how many folks bail early. You're going the opposite way for the most part but from the 14th br on in it could be a disaster.

Yeah...maybe if school gets out early we will just go then...as it stands now we are leaving at 4:30...so it's either drive right there or to Tysons to catch the metro.

The title of this thread reminds me that it was 26 years ago that a two-day storm on these dates produced 9.2 inches of snow at DCA. That storm followed a storm on January 22nd that produced 10.8 inches of snow at DCA. So, the combined snow total for that "Double Whammy" was an even 20 inches. So,if we can over perform during the current event and get 19.6 inches of snow out of it at DCA, that -- combined with the 0.4 inches that DCA received yesterday -- will equal the Double Whammy.

That concludes the (attempted) humor portion of this thread.

The 13 RAP looks much better than the one I looked at this morning, probably the 9Z I guess.

 

It's looked good all morning considering how tiny this event is.

 

An encouraging sign on nam sim is that the entire area gets under decent rates for a time. Not some swiss cheese looking precip pattern. A decent shield for a couple hours. Obs are gonna pile up like ravens fan's tears next weekend.

Just not very optimistic on the chances... Dew points are low and the radar isn't looking that good right now. I'm not seeing more than some snow showers around sunset in the area tonight.

 

Do you remember what radar looked like the other night? Most managed an inch from that. Some that were lucky enough to be under heavier returns, received more. 1-3 today is certainly possible. At the very least, I think most equal the inch they received Wednesday night/Thursday pre dawn.
