I saw the pic before seeing it was from you and thought, “Wow, I had no idea snow would melt that fast on sand.”

How do we make a January 20th blizzard happen?  If DC looks like Greenland and/or Canada, maybe we’re less likely to get weird with them  (among other reasons)

[DDweatherman]

My sister just sent me this, 11 years ago today chasing in upstate with @TSSN+

if we don’t get a big dog soon, I’m going to the big dog. @BuffaloWeather coming for the next big LES. 

[mappy]

Heading north tomorrow. SYR got 2” today with 9” on the ground. I’ll race home if it ends up looking to snow down here

I don't care how unpopular or stupid taking over Greenland would be. I want cheap visa free flights to an ice cap and I don't care how we go about getting them

Schools in this area continue to be incredibly soft.  The 2nd snow day after a storm is forgivable, the 3rd is not.

You clearly have not seen of the sidewalks and streets in some of these neighborhoods.  They have not all been cleared and are still extremely icy.

Kids are all able to make it to the sledding hill, which happens to be at a school! They could probably make it to school too.

I took a walk around my neighborhood at sunset and all the roads and sidewalks in my area are slushy after a blinding sunny day. BCPS is opening 2 hours late and I agree with them. People are going to have a rough time getting out of their neighborhoods before the sun has a chance to do its thing.

2 hour delay I can support.

Moving this here-

Amazing what a little prodding will do, they 'sorta' changed from 3.0 to 5.7 as of today. that is a lot closer to what others in the area reported.

I’m heading to Florida on Thursday for family and JetBlue has informed me of a “travel advisory” because of “winter storm Cora” in the southern plains allows me to change my flight for free.

 

Did not realize DCA was now in the southern plains

Does anyone on here know how much snow Dale City Virginia and vicinity got from yesterday's snowstorm? They got 1.16 water. Did Dale City REALLY get 11 inches ?

the palisades fire is basically on the doorstep of the core urban grid of LA.  Really really bad.
