NorthArlington101 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 What a great freakin' day. Walked 11 miles. Probably the most exercise I've had since the pandemic started. Just beautiful stuff out here. Snowball fight with friends. Snowmen everywhere on Grounds. This wasn't the biblical event that was dreamed of but I was out in the snow for 10 hours and I'm happy as a clam. Good luck to all of you on the backside. We all deserve a snow day. 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pixie dust snow was a bit disappointing today cutting down on accumulations, but I expected 2-5 today so wound up in that range. If I'm not misunderstood, we should still get light/moderate snow tomorrow afternoon, maybe a few more inches? Some of the best rates of the day right now, too. Finishing strong here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Just did my last shovel of the day. Picked up .7 of fluff in the past hour with this outer band. Radar blossoming well to my SW. 5.7 inches so far. Snow and 27 degrees. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critical thicknesses still solid south of DC on north Definitely think the colder models nailed this part of the storm (RGEM, NAM, Euro, CMC). Now to see where we diverge from here. also the deeper CAD wedge could lead me to believe in more digging/amplification in the trough with our secondary low system. That could of course help bring this tighter into the coast and assist with the capture. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a similar type of day. It's not what we'd dream of, but it is plenty to enjoy in many ways! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 On an actual obs related front: some light accretion on the trees and my car is encased in a layer of ice.

Pressure falls off the coast, 500mb, etc. Things are SO close to lining up for a more tucked solution. I think Baltimore and central / northern MD are still very much in the ball game. Next 6-12 hours will be critical. Better chance than not that things end up happening too late, but damn it’ll be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Finally, some good snow back in Downtown DC. It had been mix of pixie dust and sleet pellets, but now ripping fat flakes, at least for now. Roads that had stayed wet all day, now covered in white. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUsedToHateCold Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 It’s been a mixed bag for the past couple of hours but currently mostly snow with some pingers. Eyeballing 2.5 inches for my total, will get official measurement later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayyy Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 On the OBS front.. 25.5 degrees snow - pretty solid rates 5” and counting These bands in N VA / W md coming this direction the past 2 hours have kind of saved this part of the storm up here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw the NAM & ICON have a positive move on the backside at 18z for the northern tier folks. The GFS also brought good Banding to our doorstep and moved big totals much closer.

N-nne very good The track is fine but the mid and upper level lows to our west take too long to phase. So we are stuck under sw flow (dryslot) as the coastal passes through out sweet spot late tonight and early tomorrow. Then they phase in which opens the moisture feed to the west but not until the low is off NJ too late for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Round Hill WX Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Got a new snowblower a couple weeks ago and was excited to fire it up. I took the kids sledding and when we returned my driveway was cleared. My neighbor, who is a great guy, used his blower to clear it. I was kinda bummed but figured I’d hit my elderly neighbors driveway after having something to eat. When I went back out to do it, another neighbor had done his driveway. So my new snowblower sits. Maybe tomorrow there will be enough snow to use it. 28/27 and 4.50” in Round Hill. Enjoy the snow everybody! 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll see what 0z has to say.... if it inches closer again, I’ll keep watching intently. But as PSU said above, the mid and upper level lows aren’t phasing in time, which starves our area of a good moisture fetch when the SLP appears to be in a prime location for us. it’s a shame. Cold air in place.... nor’easter forming at a near perfect spot.... the upper air dynamics just didn’t work out. Miller b’s are always so damn complicated for our area.

Agreed, but I think I’m looking for is to see where the low starts to slow down and spin around. The models haven’t lost that idea, and seeing the colder air/those pressures entrenched and the upper level meso maps could lead us to a stall or capture even 50 miles further south allowing for the phase to have a bigger play.

This was a big ol’ bust. Considering that model run initiated 6 days from the event and was only off by 150 miles, I would consider that pretty damn good. If you think it sucks, just ignore the EURO from here on out and you’ll be good. And hit up Howard, you guys will be good buds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
