  1. Checked the thread this morning and see TSTMs being discussed. Then looked at 00Z Euro and see a half-inch of FZRA here on Tuesday and a 6” snowfall on Thursday.
  2. 25/15 with a light northerly breeze. Not expecting much out this way. Hopefully at least a little bit of glazing on the 6” deep, two-week old snowpack.
  3. The past two years, leaving aside the 70-degree days in January and February, 70's started showing up at DCA between March 7 and 14. So 3-4 weeks from now. In 2017, DC hit 80 on March 1. The year before upper 70's by March 8. Won't be long.
  4. There's a chart with descriptions here: https://www.dtn.com/the-power-of-weather-symbols/ #18 means a squall within sight in the last hour, lol. Looks like we may being seeing a lot of #67 being reported area-wide this coming week.
  5. I'd like to see us get back to maps with these symbols
  6. Surface temperatures fall during the event with the low going south of us.
  7. There are some excellent resources here: https://www.meted.ucar.edu/index.php
  8. DEC - 8.7" JAN - 8.0" FEB - 9.9" (so far) TOT- 26.6" (Long-term seasonal average : 26.5")
  9. Light snow still going and getting breezy now. 3.7" so far. 26.4" for the season, which is our average snowfall for a whole winter here.
  10. Best rates of the evening here now. Half-mile visibility. Band looks to continue for a while. 3/4" in the past hour. 2.8" total. Snow depth back to 6". Down to 28.5 degrees.
  11. Came across this quote in a Baltimore Sun article about the ‘94 ice storms: Feb. 10-11, an extraordinary 4 inches of sleet fell at BWI. On the 11th, the precipitation type changed 10 times. Can you imagine the reaction of this board if we had a repeat of that ? Lol.
  12. Safely in the snow here. 1.8" so far and coming down nicely. MRB is 31/30 with light snow and 1.0 mile vis. OKV is 32/32 with light rain.
  13. 0.50” of sleety snow accumulation after 3 hours of precip. Now finally seeing all dendrites as rates increase. 29 degrees.
  14. 33/20. Overcast with light and variable winds. Baro 30.31"
  15. Friend reports decent snow falling now in Moorefield. Shouldn't be too long for you to start seeing it.
  16. That's the second time this winter that my county has been included in the same advisory as DC metro. I guess its just a broad brush early call to be fine-tuned as we close in on the storm? Don't remember it happening in past years.
  17. Every model in the 12Z suite so far dumps 4-7" here tonight. Probably a good time for me to read more and post less.
  18. I was surprised this morning at how conservative LWX went with their overnight package, after some bullish hints from their office yesterday. That said, the point forecast for my area has under 0.5" today, 2-4" tonight and under 1 inch tomorrow, suggestive of more snow than the 1-3 the WWA calls for.
  19. It's like a vinyl LP record that is scratched and keeps repeating the same groove.
  20. Looks like a nice hit for you on the 00Z GFS. Hope it verifies.
  21. Crazy to see the metros with temps in the low 50's. High here today was 35 with a 3" snow cover.
  22. I had ten straight hours of freezing rain with temps in the teens in College Park, MD on 1/17/1994. Still one of the wildest weather anomalies I have ever experienced. Everything was caked in ice, both vertical and horizontal surfaces.
