All Activity

It's legitimately a 36 hr event.

0z Euro FOLKS inside D5!

Storm 1

another the following weekend

All I can do is total precip for now. Snow is slow.

I’m on board. Buckle up.

Hot off the presses! 17.5" at ORH as of midnight - from 1.59" of liquid. High of 10, low 0.

I am an idiot

Give us the goods!

Shockingly short amount of time

This is storm #2

I was surprised when NYC got there in 2016 - it took basically the perfect flow of cold air down the Hudson. For DC, all the snow around will help. But I will still be shocked if we get there.

Well, the modeling certainly knew what it was talking about with the snow growth potential. At least when snowfall rates were on the higher side, I was seeing flakes up to 20-30 mm in diameter, but midnight observations here still had flakes up to 20 mm. I wasn’t sure if that 6 PM to 7 PM snow ratio would be maintained for the whole 6 PM to 12 AM block, but LOL, no worries there. This most recent block’s snow density just came in at 4.2% H2O for a 24:1 ratio – that impressive for an entire snow collection period, and indeed it’s right up there with the quality of upslope snow. This has certainly been some of the loftiest snow I’ve seen with temperatures hovering around the 0 F mark, so some unique conditions have come together with this system. At 24:1, even 0.75” of liquid produces 18” of snowfall, so the forecast numbers certainly aren’t crazy for areas that are in the banding.

Euro a hit now

Massive hit LI and SNE

At least we aren't tracking this for a full week

Snow starts at 120btw. 5 days.

Wxbell same, this run broke the servers .

nah, we sacrifice @JenkinsJinkies so he can't say "bust confirmed"

Can we please sacrifice someone or something to make this happen lol. Hell sacrifice me lol

What’s that old weenie saying? Always believe the euro on the night of a snowstorm if it happens to fall 6 days before the next threat? Something like that.

I was practically a toddler last time it happened in the immediate metros, and now I'm a few years from 40. I wanted to think the models were overdone with the cold, but the more they persist, the more I question what I thought was possible in this post-2016 base state.
