  1. Euro AI is almost a top 10 snowfall for IAD, DCA, and BWI. Incredible.
  2. After working in public safety and transportation for almost 20 years, I can tell you that light to moderate snow events are far, far more impactful. Folks see the lane markers and think they can drive like it's dry roads. Nope. Yup. Rapid onset of an arctic airmass and no wind to wick the surfaces dry. Classic flash freeze.
  3. Areas with even a minimal amount of snow cover are seeing their air temps crash. Parkton mesonet already down to 18 degrees.
  4. I know this is for Philly, but this just underscores the upside potential for this general area in the next 7 days.
  5. I'm optimistic, given the favorable teleconnections and the fact that we're seeing a decent amount of agreement from multiple ensembles.
  6. A 72-hr ensemble MEAN of 6" - 8" from Mason-Dixon to the tidewater of VA. Wow.
  7. 18z Euro AI is just nice. Cold, snow, great long duration event.
  8. Heck yea nice band developing in Carroll County.
  9. Hope the southern Maryland and Delmarva folks on here can cash in this afternoon and evening. Snow for everyone is the best!
  10. Euro just swings the MJO through Phases 7, 8, 2, 1 with a tanking -AO, marginal NAO, +PNA, and -EPO. It's like the stars are trying to align.
  11. Agreed. This is probably our best shot for a widespread, warning level snowfall this season. My go/no go would be the 12z runs on Thursday, 1/22. My goal for this window is at least one, widespread warning level snowfall of 6"+. Bonus would be two, warning level snowfalls of 6"+. That would cement the region with it's first above normal snowfall in a decade. Bottom line: I'm very optimistic about the period Jan 25 - Feb 15.
  12. Strong signal for a plowable snowfall (maybe 4" - 8"?) at D7 is legit.
  13. Radar building across Delmarva and most of the Delaware/Maryland mesonet obs show a NW wind now. Looks like precip should be picking up in intensity for the southern NJ folks here within the hour.
  14. Winter Weather Advisory for Lancaster & Lebanon counties extended to 6 pm this evening. Radar implies another coating to one inch of snow.
  15. 12 GEFS-AI is money for this Frid-Sat potential. Cold powder, 850s, never get above -6, and some gul moisture to boot.
  16. @wxmeddler can probably provide more context, but it seems to me that it melted off to about 2", then another ~0.8" accumulated.
  17. Cold, dry, get your dehumidifiers and skin care routine prepped.
