Can confirm... lived on it for 8 years during my teen years at ~800ft in Mt. Airy... living there actually created the love of snow and elevation I have to this day...
I can't even imagine the look on my wife's face if I set an alarm for 3am to go outside and wander around in the snow... lmao... just to see the expression on her face might make it worth it
This is a money shot for BWI... look at the omega peaking right in the DGZ... 26f surface temp... complete saturation throughout the column... too bad this is at 3am because this should be absolute gold for a Jebwalk
Not sure if its been mentioned but QPF slug has moved north on both the 18z Ukie and ICON... significantly so on the Ukie... sign of things to come on the 18z Euro?
Icon:
Ukie:
To me this lines up with what PSU said earlier about the northern gradient tightening up and becoming sharper... and that as long as you're inside 0.3" QPF you're gonna do okay. Looks like the Euro is tightening up the northern gradient
This is reminding me of Jan 2022 quite a bit... up here towards Baltimore we got a little less overall but it was still 4-6" of cold smoke... I would take that again in a heartbeat even if that means DC gets more like 8+"
I do feel like this 72-84h south shift that almost always re-corrects north in the final 24-48 has given us DC-Balt folks false hope just to be dashed away in the past... maybe, just maybe this time it can give us false concern this time...
