Bad post

Nice car wash and street cleaning tonight.

I hope so

1.20 at my station for the day so far. Nice beneficial rain which as others have said will do some cleaning of the streets and sidewalks

At the national harbor for a 2 day work thing. Raining here but haven’t heard thunder. Of course I’d miss Frederick’s first thunder of the year lol

We're talking big time stuff, a major league blizzard the way I see it. Thanks for making this thread. One of the all time great storms and of course I-95 busts of all time. A truly long duration event too, we'll probably never see something like that in our lifetimes with this new fast flow BS. I bet schools didn't close ahead of time like they do now. The good old days, when you had to wait to see if your school closed at the bottom of the screen on NBC30.

that's a lot of rain

solid coating of sleet. mostly sleet, don't see any snow. very low 150' asl

We are starting to see the Indian ocean set up with respect to wind anomalies the El Nino like response. The kicker so far has been the lack of westerlies getting too far east and the still (weak overall) enhanced easterlies across Nino 1+2. 2023 featured a fairly broad area of westerly anomalies across 1+2 and eastern 3 around this time so it makes me think this may end up being more Central Pac oriented versus East Pac but plenty of time to discuss. I do wonder how we impact the hurricane season coming up with atmospherically we seem to be taking our time transitioning out of the Nina like state.

I would think days and days of slowly melting snow the ground must be drenched?

All snow here, just a coating.

.85” of rain today for me. .6” of that was in an hour and half this evening.

Euro weeklies say we’ve just got to deal with a chilly third week of March and then we are gold.

My initial report was off - we were mostly sleet until maybe 50 minutes ago when we switched to all snow. Currently a little more than a dusting over a thin layer of sleet. RAP has another 9-10 hours of this, which is nice -- I think we will end up with the 1-3'' NWS is forecasting. Too bad it will all melt tomorrow lol.

SOI is not budging yet 5 Mar 2026 1010.85 1003.90 13.59 10.96 8.17 4 Mar 2026 1011.34 1003.15 19.53 11.31 7.65 3 Mar 2026 1010.85 1002.70 19.34 11.46 6.95 2 Mar 2026 1010.44 1002.95 16.18 11.70 6.42 1 Mar 2026 1011.79 1003.40 20.49 11.80 6.11 28 Feb 2026 1011.80 1003.50 17.10 11.49 5.74 27 Feb 2026 1011.02 1003.50 13.35 11.33 5.53 3 of the last 5 months have been >+10 SOI, after 31 straight months under +10 (March 2023-Sept 2025). In the 2023 Super El Nino, the SOI was near 0 monthly March and April. Only in May 2023 did it have its first solid negative period, when El Nino was already happening. Almost 32 consecutive months >0 SOI July 2020 - Feb 2023.

There should be a few hour period of pretty damned strong lift ahead of that sharp height fall/dryslot. That should start reaching us within an hour or so…sooner out west. If Ray’s area can flip to snow pretty quickly during that, then def several inches is on the table. But if it stays very mixy…

Actually quite a bit of rolling thunder.....

Nothing even remotely close to that here. Looking at the radar throughout the day, I figured you guys to my north and west would see much bigger totals.

Thunder!!!

Not as safe as Weymouth

We got boomers. Welcome spring!

+1.0c popping up south of Nino 1+2 (time sensitive)

31 F and pure freezing rain here. Ice is starting to accumulate on branches. Hoping we don't stay all ice. 10PM BOX maps have me at 20-30% chance of getting over .5" of ice accumulation.

I just heard thunder! It’s officially spring!
