H2O

Phone blowing up with lots of car wrecks.  Guess the roads caved here in Fx Co which must be next to Georgetown.  

2" snow

Coming down really nicely right now.  Or as the NW crew say "ripping snow!!"

This reminds me a bit of 2/24/05.  Got 4.5".  Steady light snow for a long duration with some lulls.  Roads didn't cave until after dark though.

 

Was that a temp issue snow?  Like temps in 30s all day?

Snow, road white, 1.5”

I’m in the light greens. I want to stay in the greens. Need more greens. 

Now that darkness my old friend has arrived, roads have finally started to give up the fight.  Like the Commanders defense

FOLKS!

CONNECTICUT AVE PUMMELED?

Radar is better IMBY. Waiting for temps to drop now that the blazing sun is gone. 
 

Road cave watch issued

Fx Co schools closed tomorrow 

Officially 1”!!!!

The drought is over!!

Yeah, they did here too in the last half hour or so.  (It actually is the sun angle)

No caving here.  Roads winning.

For I-95 there is definitely a danger that we lull overnight as everything pushes north and west. How this unfolds is still unclear.  
 

of course if I have 3” at midnight I’m not gonna whine too much. 

Sitting at 0.8" so 2.2" to go!!

The hood of my truck has caved slightly

0.8" as of 3pm  

I had 0.5" at 6 am this morning.  Its snowed 0.3" in 9 hours.

Rippage now.  I guess.  it’s been so long….ok probably nice moderate snow. Just measured .7” and 28.8.   Pork butt is at 175 so a ways to go…

I still say just SN but the far distance is now fuzzy instead of clear when it was the sizzle fest.

Its kinda snowing decently.  28.4

Trying to strategize a Jebwalk.  Want to watch the Bills game and don't want to get sunburned from the high sun angle.

I haven’t seen a storm create its own cold air since the 60s. 

We aren't that old, dude.  

28.3/24

The 3km NAM from 12z gives us 3+ inches of snow.  Through 4pm it had 0.01” qpf.  This is all just bonus scenery snow.

Goddamn you and your logic.  Next you will tell me there was enough sun energy to power a Tesla from 11am to 2pm and now its down to powering a drone copter

I thought sun angle was just a meme, but it’s real.

Beautiful scenery, zero work productivity

Come on Ji.  The good stuff starts tonight.  Roads will cave.  My bar is Connecticut Ave

You have a bar called Connecticut Ave?  Is it on Florida Ave?  

28.3/24

If you try to compare DC metro snow with people out in Frederick you're gonna have a bad time.  We'll get our couple of inches once the sun goes down and it'll be fine.

Its not that.  Its the radar.  There is a hole in precip that happens from culpepper to Orange to Fredricksburg.  If you watch a loop on Radarscope you can see how it just takes forever to fill in

Just not doing much here.  Radar keeps showing very light returns to my SW.  I know I'm being impatient but just stinks to have hours of snow, no accums and people already reporting SN and roads pummeled.  

Guess the silver lining is that it IS snowing.

Mid January sun angle is brutal 

Tropics and magma near the surface doesn't help either.
