Isn't an event like this something that won't affect the roads much? It could snow 4-6" and really not impact travel at all (in theory, since a snowflake around here impacts travel)

From what I can tell from the soundings it looks like I95 from dc to balimore, the dendrites growth region looks poor, where looking at mostly spikes and small plates at best, these tiny crystals don't stand up will to warm bl temps or warm soil temps. I would imagine the roads will stay mainly wet but grassy surfaces to see that accumulation when snow finally does make it to the ground

It's clear when you read it but most people just look and see that their county is in the pink...assuming they know where their county is...sad how many people who don't know where they live on a map

It is mind numbing how many co-workers don't know what Montgomery County looks like.  "Huh, that's not Maryland...it's Virginia".

UK is weather porn.

Feeling way better about our area today.  In my 9 years in northern Carroll ive never lost out in a marginal temp scenario.  Missing the precip is a much bigger risk, when the issue is temps our elevation always seems to tip the scales in our favor.  Give us a good deform band and we will do good.

Everyone always said to me when I still lived in VA Beach to move north if I want snow so badly. Well, I finally move north and I still get rain. DC Sucks.

 

I am hugging the NAM. It has to win one of these days.

 

Well. If they told you to to move to DC for snow. You got some bad information.

I think they meant north as in Canada.  

 

I'm thinking that if this storm weren't pegged to hit the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, we would have all given up on it being anything but a chance for conversational snow.

   forecast temperature profiles for DCA at 15z tomorrow from the 12z NAM (red)  NAM nest (green) and GFS (blue).   The GFS is way, way too warm for snow.   The NAM nest is still too warm, but the depth of its warm near-sfc layer is not as deep as the GFS layer.   The NAM is by far the coldest.    The nest also has an odd warm layer around 700 mb due to strong southerly flow around that level.12snd724050_lots27.gif
