Finding it odd that the temps are 36 in Rehoboth Beach, DE, 41 around Annapolis, and 45 at Reagan. You would think that temps would be colder towards the west. However, this is based on my weatherbug toolbar so prob not real accurate

Those areas are near water.  In the areas where the temperatures are lower, the dews are higher.

The east wind off the water kept them cooler today.  That will also hurt them when they need to get to 35 as well

:o 

Then the question becomes how much do you think comes after that ;) - This is a great feeling for our subforum. Good luck to all! 

:lol:  It's not that bold of a forecast...DCA only has like 1.8" on the season? 

 

Anyway...the WAA part of the storm has started looking really good in the last 24-48 hours.  I think 2-4" or so for most of the DC metro by daybreak and the possibility of mixing becomes an issue.  A little less up toward Baltimore just because precip will start a bit later.

this could hit forecasts around DC by 9

Damn...as I said, the WAA part of the storm has trended better and better the last 24-48 hours.  The RAP looks like the NAM on crack, but were that to verify, the WSW's would verify by breakfast.  Nice to see things trend in our favor as we get closer to gametime.

Wait, I am lost on the bolded part... do you mean it wont be an issue because the column will have cooled enough?  Or does the WAA snow prompt mixing?

im kinda getting really psyched. i think we'll run at ~10" up here now even tho i said to run from that kind of total initially.

without mixing i'd think that's more than 2-4" by daybreak.  that's a hefty punch of precip, assuming it stays together.

Cancelled flights tomorrow already

IAD 458 flights

DCA 484 flights

 

The airlines have become worse than schools.  They would rather strand a multitude of passengers than risk having a plane and/or crew caught on the ground where it can't keep earning them money.  When the snow stops, they really don't care if their paying customers spend a week sleeping in terminals before they get home because weather delays are not their fault so they don't owe you a dime no matter how long you have to wait and/or how much it costs you to wait.   

 

I was flying into BWI the day of the "Boxing Day" storm.... and, even though BWI got less than 1" accumulation (and it was over long before my flight was scheduled to land late in the evening), Southwest still cancelled ALL flights into and out of BWI for the entire day that 12/26.  Thankfully, United kept flying so I switched over to one of their flights and landed right on time.
