All Activity

Fairfax County schools are closed next Thursday and Friday for end of quarter/teacher workday, and some elementary schools (including my daughter's) are on early release on Wednesday, so we're preparing for them to be out all week. While Wisp is going to be cold AF late next week, it'll be kind of nice driving there with wintry scenes the whole way!

ICON gone wild!

Agreed

Primary won't die quick enough with an H5 look like that...

WOW ICON!!!

ICON with the warm push .

From @griteater

ICON showing a lot more ice this run - something to watch for sure.

Exactly. Tons of energy on the backside and all that warmth moving NE slamming into confluence.

Blech

It is...hope that transfer gets going quick

Yep and not being so amped

ICON also puts a 1042 in VT/NH. Was 1040 north of the border at 12z (this is at hr90)

please god. I'd rather have that than this amped messy thing.

I’m thinking 2026 will be making one of those memorable lists then. I am legitimately surprised by the lack of a rug pull.

The mass panic buying may be here already. Just went to our local ACE here in Takoma and already empty shelves (selling out of de-icer, sleds, and shovels), they said it’s been nuts today.

True. His thoughts may have been more directed towards the Balt/DC area.

18z ICON going to deliver

Maybe this is the stage they start recognizing the density of the cold air and adjust accordingly for this? I like how the orientation/axis of the precip on the ICON also agrees with NAM and really GFS as well if we're going to be bringing it into the equation, in anticipation of 18z.

Icon starting positively as well…..

All the models have it down there. The key is it ejecting Saturday morning. It’s interesting that one piece of this storm will bring rain to Southern CA on Friday.

Maybe I'm wrong but it looks a little more "phasey" out west.

That would actually be more overrunning on nam with a bigger coastal…hecs look imo.

Sorry. Had the 12z, then uploaded the wrong image. Still wonder if the NW trend is nearing its asymptote.
