January 5-6 Thing Storm Obs

I'm in the zip code 20910 just south of the 495 beltway and north of the DC northern apex, in Silver Spring.


Just measured about 4.75" averaged across a few spots in the yard and on a snowboard surface. 

I was out shoveling from 8am til now. Went from SN+, to SN- with a bit of ice and frozen pellet drizzle (?) to back to moderate snow with bigger flakes in the last 15 minutes. 

Hope I can pull 6" out of the first part then another 1-2" later.

In the 12-hour period from 10am to 10pm, here are the model outputs from the mesos:

RGEM:  0.2-0.35" precip

NAM 3k:  0.25-0.4"

HRRR (12z):  0.1"-0.2"

 

Quick perusing of radar and those models and my conclusion is the 3k NAM matches best with current radar.  This conclusion is 100% not at all biased by the highest QPF number :)

3k is beautiful with the backside.  Fluff for all.

Dry air seems to have knocked down the boom potential north of I-70. Looks like a low end warning event is more likely north of DC.

Agree, stronger bands havent developed yet.  Unless we cash in later, low end seems more likely.

Yup. Bit of a bust. Heavier bands stayed south.

Yeah Euro was definitely onto something from the start. But its a great event in that its a cold powder that is sticking everywhere up here. Those are kind of rare here. I'll take that any day.

Closing in on 2 inches.
