Jan 31st - 33rd Storm Obs and Disco like it's 1979

Roads were partially covered here in the 8am hour. Looks like our side roads are now completely covered. Closing in on (or perhaps at) one inch at this point. A poster above has it right - kind of "drizzling" pixie dust right now. 

Already ran the shovel down the driveway. Very dusty snow - super easy to shovel.

I hear you - we all are chasing HECS storms. But of course not every storm is going to be a HECS or MECS. For me it's all about the scenery - get the grass blades covered up completely and I'll Jebwalk and enjoy the snow. Unfortunately, the advent of the internet and widespread distribution of snow maps and weather models has really hurt the enjoyment of snow for weather weenies everywhere. 

We could be having another winter like last winter - so I try to look at the bright side. It's snowing and it's sticking (for the most part). 

Agree. Much better than last year. Ignore the clown maps and enjoy the snow.

Eyeballing maybe ~1.5" there about where I'm at (Chevy Chase, MD area).  Light snow falling, clinging to everything right now with the calm wind.  Very pretty!  I will be going for a @Jebman Jebwalk soon, and get some photos!!

By the way, nobody has mentioned much about the wind potential during this event, but looks like it could become pretty brisk?

In fairness, this winter has been barely better than last winter so far. I know we've probably gotten about 4 inches of snow this year compared to whatever last year was, but both winters have been awful. The good news is this winter is only half over and the last couple of weeks of February might hold promise.

And just like that, NWS upped the totals for my folks in NY to 14-18+ - I just told them I hate them so much in the most loving way possible. 
 

I KNEW this had New York and New England special written all over it. Been saying it all week long. I should have trusted my gut and I got bit for it.

Here's my Only Forecast Map

Could be a little high on the southern piece, but from looking at guidance, this is my estimate for the storm. This also doesn't include up to a 0.1" of ice accretion tonight into Monday morning for Central MD and southern PA

Thanks for converging 3 zones literally at my house!  Awesome

Yeah my parents and brother all live in NY so I’ve been following it for them.  Pretty nice pressure gradient setting up so even though the storm isn’t that deep it’s going to be near blizzard for them.  Wouldn’t be surprised to see blizzard warnings hoisted for NYC and LI.  Oh well though, that’s for them, getting some bigger flakes here in Takoma Park again and rates improving a bit.

28/20 no wind at all. It’s too cloudy to see but the real problem is there must be one of those little prop planes they send up from  Westminster circling around over head and whoever is flying that thing has the worst case of dandruff I’ve ever seen. It’s disgusting. Getting all over everything.
