My forecast is for 2-4" with some sleet, and there is also a "concern" for several hundredths of an inch ice accretion at some point tomorrow, before changing back to snow tomorrow evening. Time to focus on the next one, and the one after that. It ain't boring, folks. That’s what I was saying last night. No matter what happens, the fact that we are tracking 4 distinct winter weather events over a 6 day span in a niña winter is awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wetbulbs88 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 About ten drops and two flakes outside. Yellows on radar. I think I've moved into a veritable snowhole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayyy Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Folks in NW and NE dc should be changing over to snow as we speak. The snow machine will shut off pretty quickly as we await the main batch of precip to arrive this evening, but it’ll be nice to see some moderate snow falling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I worry that this initial slug is going to saturate the atmosphere before the main show arrives and lessen our chances at any evaporative cooling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say that this stuff is barely even showing up in my window so we might still have some juice in the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjvanals Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Going to be an interesting battle between the old GFS and new GFS; old GFS gives DCA .2 QPF , .1 snow, and never gets below 35, new GFS gives DCA .7 QPF , 7 inches of snow, and gets down to 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
