Yeah this is a bit unexpected. Bare ground, mulch starting to gather some white. Temperatures don't look like they will want to move for awhile though. Will have to wait for sunset.
It is currently almost the worst possible weather.
33F and raining.
I mean, I suppose it could be pouring. Or we could have significant ZR. Can't wait until frozen precip replaces this. At least it's not torching?!
NAM at 45 is just a wild look. Splashes a few inches across MD in wave 1, then a few from here in CHO south in Wave 2.. and leaves a hole of zero frozen precip that stretches across NOVA, Southern MD and DE.
Look if I can just reach the low end of the "expected snowfall" range I will be content. But hope endures.
Also, really my main point here is that Sterling's thoughts on upside potential across many parts of the forum went from like 5-7" to 12-14" in a day. That's not bad...
I want/need someone much smarter than me to explain how the moisture wouldn't just get eaten up by the mountains in the Piedmont area given how this system will be moving..
