Goofy pops a weak low off GA at 09z sunday

Close but no cigar. I had a friend over there at the time though, I'm referencing back roads which I drove through to get over there!

We're reminiscing? I have spent all of my life in the Mid-Atlantic, how boring. Grew up in Harrisburg PA, born in the late 80s. So, here's my ranking. 1) January 1996. We had school closed for an entire week, the plow piles on our road were absolute insanity for a kid. I remember climbing up plow piles in residential driveways that were double my height. It was astonishing! 2) PDII 2003. We got annihilated by the deform and total accumulation, huge drifts, wind, blowing sand. I remember very heavy rates in the afternoon of that storm. My brother and I jumped off an 8' retaining wall into snow piles in our neighbor's driveway, and I think that is probably the moment when I hit my head funny and became obsessed with snow. 3) The early feb 2010 stretch. I was in college in south central PA at the time in the perfect window to get 20" from the first and nearly 20" from the second. Absolutely unforgettable drifts on back roads, drifts above the roofs of cars, impassable streets everywhere, mountains on car roofs, people shoveling snow off of roofs, it was like we lived in Norway or something. Gets ranked lower because I was older and it wasn't as influential as the first two in terms of my snow obsession, but this is probably when I started to really track snow. 4) March 1993. I was younger for this one, but I remember building snow caves in our driveway from the accumulations/plowed snow. 5) 1994 ice/glacier stretch - I can remember sliding on top of what seemed like inches of pure ice above the snow. It was unbelievable. 6) Jan 2016 - great seeing the metro area get buried. We're due for another big one :-). Maybe not this year, but next!

Continuing the "leaving the metro area" good vibes, I'm visiting family in upstate NY over prez day weekend. Hope you all get buried.

ALEET it got suddenly quite foggy in Silver Spring in the last hour or so

Yep, seen this film before in the UHI

I weenie the posts, but I live for the PBP. 11/10

The low is there on both the CMC and the Euro. Slower and more SE. edit: ninja'd by WxUSAF

Working from home == I get to watch model runs during zoom meetings, without having to clandestinely look at my phone in a conference room. 10/10

Both 12z and 18z GFS have the front crashing through the metro areas between 06z and 09z Friday. Moisture follows. Around .3" qpf frozen (verbatim, dunno what type, but not snow) after 09z in central MD?

Oh cool, Boston gets another 2 feet

Pretty significant slug of moisture coming through here. A fair chunk of this is antecedent rain Thursday though.

D10 period on GooFuS looks potentially interesting but man that is far away. and it is gonna be a muddy mess around here for the next ten days. Love early Feb inside the beltway

Cutty McCutterson cuts to the NW. We broil. Hopefully something interesting happens later in the run!

I was down at the Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary (southern AAco) this morning with the fam and it was stunning. Looks like about 3" fell there. No one else was around!

Getting a decent pixie sparkler dust stronger band right now in silver spring. Roads never caved here.

Congrats to SOMD for getting that band. I think I'll go there tomorrow to walk around in some snow.

big dendrites in silver spring, it's happening!!! grass whitening!!! REEEE!!!!

Snow globing here in 20910 for about 30 minutes now. in silver spring, still pretty warm at 37F. Not sticking to anything

Is hamburger wx trustworthy?

Couple of lonely flurries flizzing about in silver spring, despite nearest weatherbug reading 38 deg

36 degrees at my closest weatherbug station so that's cool
