Don't tell him I ate his tasty cousin this morning.

Every time I think we may be done for a while, there is reforming happening to the west. Maybe we get more than I think..

Not an expert opinion but that line of convection across Kentucky looks more organized than most CAMs have it which may signify stronger WAA just ahead of it which may help us get a stronger thump.

 

I noticed this as well...tons of lightning all day.

paralysis by analysis is what we call that in my business

You mean to tell me that analyzing a day 7 EURO control ensemble 850 temperature map is over doing ?!?

Looks like a few snow showers far SE Loudoun moving into Fairfax. 

 

Had a trash can topper in Round Hill...sadly it will likely be the greatest/only snowfall for the month of January.

That look doesn’t inspire me. It screams zonal flow as wentz mentioned above. Anytime we rely on NS waves to cross over the Allegheny to deliver us snow, we lose lift and moisture and are left with flurries or maybe an inch (if were lucky. We need our block to retro East a bit and allow a PNA yo build. Cycle that block back down as a wave gains steam out of the central plains/gulf coast and we’re in business.

FWIW at 354 hours, I agree with you. There is a hint at a inter-mountain west ridge that could spawn a NS LP to amplify over the Plains. However, that west-based -NAO will destroy anything coming east. Also, the Gulf and Atlantic moisture supply is shut off. Totally NS dominate.

As a frontline healthcare worker, I am up for the COVID-19 vaccine next week.  Anybody received their vaccine doses yet?

Got the 1st Moderna shot on 12/31. Due for the 2nd shot on 1/27. Outside of the standard sore arm, I had a bit of tiredness the next afternoon but nothing crazy.

Clear skies + calm winds + lots of low-level moisture + wet grounds + below freezing temperatures = The heaviest "frost" I've seen

29F at IAD.

The roads are icy. Saw a bunch of crashes on my way into work. 

Initially, this -NAO is a bootleg. Typically it can help tap cold continental Canadian air. Right now the cold air is on the other side of the NH. Here is the result. Gonna probably have to wait. 

Final total in Round Hill: 7” snow/sleet and a glaze of freezing rain.  Great for December. 
 

This last batch has been sweet because of the wind. Snow blowing all over. I really enjoyed this storm...had around 6” of snow, sleet, freezing rain that looks cool on the Christmas lights, sleet again, and now back to blowing snow.
I love all snow but there is nothing better than December snow before Christmas. 

Back to legit snow in Round Hill. Lost my direct TV satellite signal.

Well I don’t think we can say the euro handled this storm very well. Didn’t it have the low almost in Baltimore? It’s gonna be off the coast of MD/Del.

Gotta really give the NAM some props on this. It also had the smaller low over East Tn and that’s exactly what happened.

Agree and the NAM did a nice job with mid level thermal profiles. As usual.

Light snow in Edinburg (Shenandoah County)

Good OB. The correlation coefficient showed a clear line pass by you a few minutes ago. Would imagine the rest of us out west switch back soon. 

Round Hill 5.0”

26/25 just began mixing with sleet. 
 

The last hour was 2” rate/hr. Really fun. 
 

Round Hill 3.5”

26/25 SN+
 

Already starting to whiten up here. Few hours earlier than expected. Radar is blowing up nicely to the SW. 

Here we go! 

First flakes in Round Hill. 
27/21

Nice snowy morning!

Snowing Round Hill. Gonna take a quick ride up the mountain and see whats going on up near Mt Weather. Great opportunity to teach the kids a lesson in meteorology.

anyone remember that run in Jan 2016 where the12z Euro took us from 25 or so inches to 17 inches and there was one of the biggest panic attacks of all time....of course it bounced back in the 00z run but that was like the longest 12 hours of my life lol

Bounced back in a big way at 00z. Barely wavered inside of 144. 

Took a ride out to Davis today...it didn’t disappoint.
