ask yourself

He thinks his sad little life might be better if he could just make everyone else around him as miserable of a human being as he is. Angry, bitter people want to spread their unhappiness.

He enjoys misery and misery loves company. Same song and dance the past two winters.

There's quite a few posts aging like a fine wine right now. #SunAngleGang

Downtown near Farragut was all rain 30 mins ago. Took the metro 2 miles (and ~150ft in elevation) up Connecticut Ave to Woodley Park and it was all snow. Brutal cutoff for the lowlanders. Edit: I've got a dusting on all surfaces on the north side of my building, sidewalk included!

yeah the NAM twins don't even have this batch shown at all. They don't have precip making it to DC until 2-3pm. I was surprised to look out the window and see flakes just now downtown...

well the 3k has your ambient temps peaking at 33F tomorrow... Cloud cover is in place by 9am.

Seems like you might've skipped that class. Ever heard of specific heat? The capacity of the ground is about 2.5-3x that of the air right now given how wet the soil is. Yea there's heat transfer but 5 hours of ~35 degree air before precip isn't going to do much. I'm a full time engineer. I eat energy transfer for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Longtime lurker, occasional poster, DC resident, and your mom's fave lover, anything else? The threat might be weak sauce but it won't be because what falls immediately melts.

Oh come on dude. This might be the most consistently disproven notion to ever exist on this forum. As someone who has been here a while you should know that. Let's talk numbers... ground temps were around 40 degrees heading into Sunday where you live. They'll be hovering around freezing for this one. Tell us again how that will have zero impact. If it comes down as advertised on the 3k, it will stick.

because it's Chuck, it's what he does

Ice pellets and mangled flakes trying to mix in here in NW DC. Closest weather station has the temp down to 34. It was 39 at noon. DCA is still @ 40 lol

aka 'Fatties', 'Parachutes', etc. big clumps of wet snow

DC snowhole will not be denied...

Do we have any clues as to why guidance has been particularly bad with this storm?
