Man. Get this inside Thursday an we'll all be giddy here

for illustrative purposes, here a sounding for DCA Monday 00z showing that warm(er) nose up at 700 producing a mix of sleet/snow (or at least lower ratio snow)

As much as I somehow want the weekend storm to trend positively up this way, I'd rather BAM be wrong. I guess we'll see.

Seeing how 18z was a miss and 0z was barely a hit ya it’s trending.

Might as well be Barrow as far as i'm concerned

ICON will work for SNE, all hail ze Germans!

Oh, hey there. Fuck. Bullseye 5 days out. Kiss of death.

It's always snowing somewhere

ICON is North. Lots of freezing rain even in the foothills...

People want to be able to call it a blizzard without being corrected... and also they want to see those red bliz warnings

I-95 max amounts special? We need this one, people.

Great start to 12z - NAM and RGEM both looked great at 500, and Icon as well, Icon gets a Significant almost Major snowstorm in SNE with plowable snow for many more..

Don't think I have ever seen the ICON print that much snow. 12-17 EZF north. 6-10 in Rich with some mixing

Hey sorry to bother you guys @dendrite @ORH_wxman I am working on some past stuff and i am just dying to know what's going on with this... The total pcp for this event at climo sites is ridiculously low and doesn't match snowfall totals. I'm not sure if this was talked about but im curious to know why this is the case. The ratios for all the climo sites are on the order of 30-50:1. Is this because ASOS is measuring the precipitation directly and the high wind is throwing it off? This is the ony thing that makes sense to me. I looked at many cocorahs/COOP reports which are taken from samples and they are more reasonable around 15-20:1 in the heavier banding. If thats the case why do they use ASOS precipitation instead of taking a core sample? I mean these are important official climo sites, if precip is so off like this, isn't that affecting climo with under reporting precipitation for the month/year? Not sure if this has been discussed before but i never noticed it this bad with a single storm. I imagine most blizzards and high wind storms are like this. 2015 is a bit more reasonable like 15-25:1. Here's the numbers so you dont have to go looking BOS 23.6" .45 52:1 PVD 18.8" .38 49:1 BDL 6.8" .21 32:1 ORH 14.7" .50 29:1

ICON was a relative 'quick' hitter, about 18 hrs in duration (1PM Sunday->7AM Monday). Had all the key features presented. Just a little sloppy with the phase and subtle timing differences/noise. Not a concern, still looks like a beatdown.

We'll get snow, don't worry. Also, it's generally frowned upon to ask about your own location in storm threads, but asking about a broader region is fine

Am I the only one who doesn’t want wind? I want that shit falling straight down. Stack ‘em up tall.

12z ICON

Zoomed in

Nice improvement from the ICON…below is 0z and now 12z 10:1 snowmap .

The ICON, for you know what and giggles.

Icon This storm keeps trending more north because the high keeps moving away in time. Temps in the teens on the ICON during the storm.

Yeah but it's close enough for me at this range! Breezy and 15 inches of snow is almost as close to a blizzard as we get around here.

Icon trough not as strong or neutral as 6z Euro, so it doesn't prolong precip like Euro would...give it time and it will change.
