March will not only average at least 5 degrees below normal, the park will not hit 56+ the entire month!

Let's hope so! I'll let y'all know. I'm off tomorrow, so let it dump.

That's my thoughts buddy Sent from my SM-S166V using Tapatalk

Flakes are/were mixing in here a couple miles NE of IAD

NBM, which uses a combo of Kuchera and the Cobb method has overall ratios of 12-13 for the NJ coast and 15-17 NW of 95, which is part of the reason why the NBM is showing more snow per QPF than the 10:1 snowfall maps. I can definitely see this, since once we overcome the early melting, the snow crystal growth dynamics in the DGZ should be great for low density/high ratio dendrites, especially after about 7 pm with temps below 32F in the whole column. Only question then becomes how much crystal breakage do we see upon descent through a very windy column. Will be interesting to see. Also, measuring the snow accurately will be tough once we get past 9-10 pm and winds really pick up. Might have to use my technique of going to a huge field near me, which limits the "edge effects" one gets in most house properties with fences, trees, roads, etc. This was the only way I could get decent measurements for big storms with high winds like Jan-96, BDB and Jan-2016.

For what it's worth the national weather service in Wakefield has upped the map total in Richmond to 2.2 inches. They started out with .5 I think they went to one one yesterday they had 1.3 this morning and now they have 2.2

It’s interesting to see the 601 traffic cam in Bluemont VA has a coating, but others around the area don’t.

Yeah I'm here at the school now. Snowing pretty good but smallish flakes. Nice coating otg.

RRFS (planned to replace the nam/hrr r

Snowing since I got up this morning with nothing to show for it. As Tom Petty said, "The waiting is hardest part".

Wow 18z hrrr is doubling down big totals on long Island.

just need a quick thump to get the ground white and then its showtime!

To enhance the system?

Rain/snow mix here in NW Philly. My high got up to 39 about 2 hours ago and is now down to 36, with dp 35.

Finally starting to stick and accumulate.

Looks like a nice path to the Benchmark.

Reflectivity I don’t, know…looks good but I can report just light rain

I don’t believe it is. Euro has it a good bit more meaty. They can be very narrow but the storm isn’t moving quickly and there’s a lot of dynamics at play. Like I said earlier, it should sweep through most but where is it going to do its parking?

Thanks! I did feel the need to step in ever since @RIC Airport relocated. Even recovered my account here. @Coach McGuirk where you at!

I see flakes mixing in. About 20 minutes ahead of time?

This is going to be extremely fascinating to watch and see how it plays out. What may end up happening too is (and you can kind of see it there) there is enough fire hose to keep the band going but outside of the banding things may wind down quick. That would cause some pretty interesting spreads in totals across a short distance

Ouch...just brutal out this way. Oh well I'm ready for spring after yesterday.

That's because there's usually nobody else in there to commiserate so it's not as therapeutic, lol I think that place gets one or two posts on any given day...

I mean if Hughes misses that puck in our zone and you have those 2 guys going in the other way that might have ended it in favor of Canada. That's usually how it goes though, its a razors edge one way or another. Amazing play all around. Just goes to show, if you have hot goaltending and keep it a one shot game anything is possible. I did feel a little bad for Sid, had to be killing him to not be out there competing. Hope its a short recovery and he's back to 100 percent for the Pens.
