YAY!  Thats the post I was waiting for. Your pretty far north.. but the radar is picking up on a lot of snow echos where the heavy bands are setting up.  Frederick is Heavy Snow.. maybe we should just be patient

its back to all snow now.

Well at least some people are having fun with this

I woke up hoping for the 1-2 hours of snow but saw the radar that we missed the initial thump of precip that went way north of us.  Ill be interested if we make it to the 0.8 QPF that basically all models had us at but I won't hold my breath.

Imagine your rates , darker blues, banding, etc., and location is helping too , here is it meh. Many corporations  in northern Delaware closed due to the winter storm warning. I doubt we see 4 to 6 inches of snowfall here. But,  I will wait before declaring complete failure for 3 out of the 4 storms this season Oh, I shouldn't even use the word storms, implies something major, not.

Can someone post most recent DCA/IAD soundings (or show me where to get them)? Thx.

They will be launching the balloon from Dulles in a few minutes.  We’ll get the results in 45-60 min.  The SPC mesoanalysis page has a model-derived estimate of the upper air structure right now.  850s are a problem (more than 700 or 925).  I’m guessing there is even a worse layer in there above 850.

Radar is looking awfully mediocre at best; I'd like to say I'm surprised but I expected this.  That LWX AFD about the warm nose last night was the nail in the coffin for this one.

Been texting Ava since I woke up, a "forecasting nightmare" as she put it.

Expected the warm nose, not the crappy radar but it is what it is.

I’m guessing either that 850 layer is pretty warm or extends down to like 875 or 900 given the FZRA.
