Crazy how many semis there are driving through this blizzard.  I guess they don't have a choice? Seems wild to me to even attempt it.

As I walked around my neighborhood earlier today, I was shocked to see that some of the north facing roofs still had snow on them.

I saw some vestiges of icy snow melting on a lawn in upper NW yesterday, which I thought was crazy.

Found it. PSU2 storm? It's happening ! this time.

Strong signal for day 31

Updated snow totals from NWS Eastern Office tonight.  Everywhere but Allentown is below average to date, Syracuse over 60" below average.

I would take a photo of my outside right now but I don't want everyone to get jealous.

Boo. I’m staying up for my hour of snow. Radar looks ok to the west.

Been up watching The Wire for the past few hours, so not a total waste.

The game is the game

I don't see any flakes.

Sorry that image isn't showing up can you try never posting it again

I feel like we should start another thread for obs since there's only been 1 and we need to satisfy the snow gods' 2 threads per storm requirement

Real serious radar returns. Unless it’s moving over 60mph I don’t see a mere 4 hours. Well may be 4 hours of 0.5”+ with 2 hours if 1-2”ph but not started and done in 4 

I can already see the backedge though.

For all the DC yappin' gone off the rails...just thought I'd post up this ditty. Bears reminding based on where you are.

"The highest natural elevation in the District is 409 feet (125 m) above sea level at Fort Reno Park in upper northwest Washington. The lowest point is sea level at the Potomac River. The geographic center of Washington is near the intersection of 4th and L Streets NW."

Topographic map below. DC is a combo of appalachian ridge and plains. Like a bowl, edges are high, middle part low. Mt parents and grandparents said the mall was swampy at one time. I saw an old pic of cows grazing on the WH lawn! Crazy stuff. NW is large areas of high elevation. SE is a staircase that keeps going up and most of the streets are hills in all directions. My neighbors can sit on their front porch and see the Cathedral in NW clear as a bell. On Howard road SE you have a clear site line to the monument like its a mile away. Wild.

We now return to your regularly scheduled snow channel...

"High elevation" being a relative term...but yeah people forget upper NW is quite hilly.  If you go to Fort Reno Park they have a little placeholder for the highest elevation point in dc.  It's...underwhelming.

In DC I wouldn't either... it will likely be history if you wake up after 9am.

I'm fine with that, I'll be up tonight.

I don't even care about accums now, if I don't see thundersnow this storm is a bust

GFS time is near...Will it be drier?  Will it be norther? Will it be cold enough?

It's gonna bisect DC with the heavier snow amounts 100%

I napped for 3 hours during 2016 and missed our only thundersnow so yeah, I'm staying up.

120 is like 20% ABV

Was never really into those mega Dogfish IPAs

@stormtrackerI tried on my way home to grab a 120, but had to 'settle' for a World Wide Stout. Much different beer but same effect with 17% abv.

17% ABV is absolutely insane for a beer

Zero hour freakout…this is a dc snowstorm alright

yeah there actually is a secondary max just north of Cathedral Commons (right around the new Taco Bamba) that is close to 400'

This is the area where I jebwalk, always seems to outdo AdMo

2-4 was always the goal
