My big question is

Will it stick?

The latest hourly guidance from NWS claims it won't get to freezing around DCA on Tuesday until almost midnight.

Must be why Arlington hasn't brined my Hill of Doom yet.

 

lol, every model has it below freezing well below midnight.  You'll be ok with snow.  It's winter.

Nah, this late in the season the reflection of the sun angle off the moon should eat into totals unless it's a new moon.  

 

Sheeeit, I just checked.  Gonna be a full moon, we're hanging on by a thread.  It's over.

This is the EPS worst-case scenario map (bottom 10%)… would like to hope this is about the floor, with a little lower in mind in case we have issues with stickage at first.

That’s pretty damn solid. The Euro seems locked in at this point. Barely changed between 6z and 12z while the GFS wobbled more.

I get the concern of daytime snow, but if we're talking grass, I think it'll be fine...sure, its gonna be slow going until after 6 or so.  Seems kinda overblown, but I'm def open to the idea.  It's definitely not going to be ideal and I'm probably gonna bust and should shut up.

I'll believe DCA getting 2.5" more than JYO when I see it.

Great point, especially with a storm where mixing and temp profiles are going to cause some crazy gradients - absolutely none of that favors DCA over JYO.


Still, I'm getting bustola vibes with this thing big time, the way the models are wavering with the mixing line is telling me they're kinda catching on to changeover.

The snow maps don't really tell the entire story, this is the SREF from earlier (at IAD / Dulles) - would absolutely crush anything that's accumulated.

I mean yeah it’s gonna rain on Wed night, but using the SREFs as a point of measure isn’t useful. It’s pretty horrible.

those plumes show it raining on Wednesday.  like early Wednesday.  and my guess based on climo and what's gone on all winter is that if we have rates, we'll be snowing.  if we don't have rates, it will be drizzle.
