Son of a bdcf!

100 percent prefer the mountains , but a occasional night on the coast in a oceanfront hotel can't be beat.... Hardly anybody around tonight down here in VA Beach. Very peaceful & quiet in the off season...Balcony door open with the sounds of the crashing waves , lights of passing ships in the distance , some cheap whiskey.........................

Can’t wait to see pretty flakes flash melting on contact.

I don’t want to steal snow from Reagan and Dulles. I’m actually rooting for them to score for the snowfall contest.

Perfect placement here. Just needs to hold for a few more hours.

I think you just need to expand your hiking weather. Next to no one is out on our April to June perfect track gulf soakers which provides a really cool vibe. Additionally, some trails have next to no one on them at anytime for some reason. Personally, I plan to fully use this time period before bugs and yellow jackets infest the trails.

Wow, I just came across this article published by the Martha's Vineyard Times which states that they measured 38" in the parking lot of TCI Press printing company in my town. Extremely impressive to say the least. I wonder why that one never made it into the snow reports? https://www.mvtimes.com/2026/02/26/delivered-news-great-blizzard-26/

You know we're done with winter when our March write up is on severe weather

Some models have it better than others. Though enough show something of that sort where I'm cautiously hopeful. Don't really know where this lift is coming from but GFS and mesos show some 850-700mb temp advection and resulting FGEN which I guess will be something to watch tomorrow. I'm trying to finish my Modern Political Theory essay on Hobbes from home tomorrow ("spring" break) so some nice ambiance would be cool.

Fired

It’s not always sunny in Philadelphia. But prob will be for this one

Been noticing the Kuchera is greater than 10:1 so that helps with the context here - thanks! Just hoping it’s for DC and notsomuch parts between

You’re due, 2” for you

I’m fully expecting that Frederick gets no snow from the initial precip and the later round comes in as sleet/rain.

Was clicking around on some soundings and some models seem to have a sneaky good alignment of lift and the DGZ for a band tomorrow somewhere between DC and Baltimore. We got a saturated upper atmosphere so once the surface moistens I think it would actually be a very pretty winter afternoon for someone.

GFS-has bull's-eye for Central Virginia for run after run after run for tomorrow for a week pretty much. We get to less than 24 hours it's north and it doesn't even snow here at all. Conclusion most weather models are fine to give an idea about a storm but none of them are reliable outside of 24 to 36 hours.

yeah, clearly a rain sounding.

0z GFS is bringing a little more juice with wave 2, bringing it in earlier with a little more snow this run for the LSV .

i saw some national maps - and that seems about right for most of the Mid Atlantic.

There was a 4-6” system around 3/24. I remember I bought a tower with my first pentium chip around then and I accidentally dropped the tower into the wet snow but it survived. Hard to believe it’s been 29 years.

Eh, toggling the GFS I guess I can see 3hrs slower. I guess it couldn’t hurt to be closer to darkness

By next Friday, the cold returns. It is showing across all ensemble guidance that the trough is back in the east by mid month. We are far from done with Winter.

The AI GFS has gotten a little wetter and north for both part 1 and 2 for quite a few consecutive runs. Op seems to move right in line with it.

I see norther and wetter - idk if I see slower, but I’m not paying a crazy amount of attention to timing. Still feel like this band rolls in between 1-3pm. Def want Pt. 2 to be more amped. Very skeptical of the GFS solution but that’s what gets someone from a lucky 1-2” to have someone push 3”.

Yup Philly is absolutely toast for this one.
