I thought the goods all came on the pivot. You hit double jeopardy: WAA BOOM + Pivot snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the goods all came on the pivot. yeah most models had a WAA boom prior to the pivot. the bullish models especially (NAM 3K, HRRR). i think it's safe to say that this is overperforming, just surpassed the NWS forecast for me yesterday (2.8") probably with only the front end thump 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta be close to 2" new, piling up very very quickly. Every road, even recently treated ones, are covered. I am absolutely ecstatic right now, absolutely happy for you all! Pile it right on up! Enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the goods all came on the pivot. There were more than a few mets on Twitter (Tomer Burg, Homenuk, etc.) who were saying that the dynamics suggested things could be better than advertised, depending on where things lined up. People on here suggested the same. But model forecasts took this from a T-2" deal on Wednesday to now maybe 4-6"? Fun stuff. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ole Bucket Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Looks like this system worked out for a lot of folks. Really glad to finally see a good OBS thread in this sub for the first time in awhile! Same system was supposed to give us out here in the middle of the country (SE Missouri) nothing… woke up and there was a surprise inch. Wind absolutely howling right now at 20+mph pushing the wind chill down to single digits. Only advisory we have though is a wind chill advisory for the next couple days. Haven’t gotten a big snow here this year unlike last year… but definitely a “deep winter” week and a half with multiple light snow days and subzero wind chills Congrats to y’all and may this pattern reset again this winter after the coming warmup! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Last 2 frames of radar show the snow west of DC increasing in intensity. Like Bob said. Special ingredients going on here. Looks like snow I see in Lake Placid NY. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacindc Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Just woke up on Capitol Hill, streets and sidewalks are covered. Even my nuclear sidewalk. Looks gorgeous. I can't imagine OPM won't reevaluate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think north of the Potomac stops snowing. South of there prob lull but I'm skeptical of that. Upper level trailer should move lock step with the WAA part. That said, heavy/consistent rates unlikely to continue much longer. Will turn pulsy/bandy in the next few hours 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dukeblue219 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Just reached 1" here near the MoCo/DC border. Light snow. Maybe 30 minutes left on this batch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlanticWx Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 additional snow without the squalls ^ would subtract the additional snow from this map though because we've already seen this snow fall: 3" on top of the snow that has already fallen would be crazy tbh 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
