I don't understand how there's a small but visible glaze on plant branches when my PWS has read 33.0-33.5 for the past 5 hours. Is that just a function of elevated surfaces being slightly colder or is my PWS reading too warm by a little?

The Mystical Month of February--Long Range Discussion
snjókoma replied to Ji's topic in Mid Atlantic
People complaining about this winter despite being over climo We need a 97-98 redux to put the fear of God in this forum. We've been spoiled this decade, despite some stinker winters. I'd love another one or five more storms this year, but I wouldn't complain too much if spring started tomorrow. -
Every event has worked out pretty great for DC this year. No busts or even underwhelming totals relative to forecasts. A sharp contrast from previous years.
-
3.5" storm total. Light sleet mixed with plain rain now. 32.0 degrees, so sidewalk/road conditions are improving rapidly. Nice storm.
-
3.4”. Massive flakes have tapered off, but there’s more yellows to the west.
-
Snow/sleet mix. 3.0".
-
Still all snow here. Are people confusing rimed flakes for sleet?
-
2.7” and -SN with rimes, granular flakes. Need the stuff out towards Winchester to hurry up before we mix.
-
2.5" in N Arlington. Seems to be winding down. More snow to the north, west and south of us but I can't really complain too much.
-
These posts will look dumb when Baltimore has 3" and heavy snow at noon.
-
Highly recommend you get yourself into a yellow band. Thick, low visibility rippage.
-
Visibility has lightened and I have widely spaced dendrites now. 1.7” in N Arlington, hoping for 3.
-
1.1”, 30 degrees. Thick, tiny snowflakes pouring down.
-
Half inch here. Dont like that area of subsidence forming between the two bands.
-
I don’t think any model had DC above freezing at 6 AM.
-
Back edge already visible, about to pass Charlottesville. I'd be shocked DC gets even 2" from this considering how we have to get near freezing first. Most stations in the immediate area 34-36 degrees.
-
35 degrees. Looks like my temp actually went up at certain parts of the night.
-
Going to bed with awful trends, hoping to wake up to good ones.
-
If the HRRR is right (I don't think it will be) and DC gets 1" of snow... Closing the night before would be embarrassing.
-
The HRRR was horrific on 1/12-13. Literally never right. I don't really care what it says for this one.
-
39/7. Sunny.
-
There's an accent mark dude.

The thump on the 00z was even less impressive for southern areas than 18z, which wasn't anything special. The trend of the WAA snows being weaker in Virginia is troubling. Certainly not "identical to its previous run" for the top 2/3 of Virginia as you suggest. 18z: 00z: Also, why are we arguing about the NAM?
-
3K NAM is a bit of a disaster for DC and south. Area of best rates lifts north very quickly. We're still snow at 15z but verbatim its very light. Edit: Perhaps disaster is too strong of a word... it still looks like 2-3". just a very unimpressive thump.
-
Slightly worse run for DC than 18z, by an order of 0.5". No big changes, just a reminder that its usually irresponsible to extrapolate a weather model.
