Today went as expected near the cities but the northern and western folks cleaned up. Things broke in favor big time. Latest models runs look incredible for the areas that didn't get the snow they shouldn't have been expecting today. Qpf has been juicier than forecast nearly everywhere already. And it's going to rip late tonight and tomorrow. Get your shovel tuned and oiled. I just mean it better rip because light precip seems to be more of a mix. That seems to happen a lot with these late season storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're mostly done with mixed precip west of 95 but it's going to be light until sometime after 2am. Watching that stuff down south off the coast rotate into a blossoming upper level low is going to be pretty wild tonight. Need to figure out the sleep thing though....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Really interesting to watch the “increase” in frozen on the ground as I’m riding west on the VRE. As soon as we got out of Alexandria, you started to see leaves that had some white on them. Now in east Springfield and even cars in parking lots have been topped.

Without a doubt, this is a full fledged MECS. Given how late in the season we are, the potential for a record low max temp tomorrow, the QPF, the double hit, and the potential stalling tomorrow, respectfully proposed this may end up being a HECS. Hope we're feeling the same 24 hours from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinceFrederickWx Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 1.22" of rain today. I finally flipped to some sleet and freezing drizzle about 30 mins ago. I don't think I've ever seen LWX so bullish on a storm before. I love the sea of pink warnings for the entire region on their front page- been a long time since we've seen that.

Hope we're feeling the same 24 hours from now. I think some of the people who are already reporting 5-8" could end up with 20+, depending on how the banding sets up tomorrow, so HECS totals may be in reach for a few lucky ones.
