Paleocene

Just want to reiterate how much of a win this storm was for the fall line crew. We have gotten burned a lot in marginal events over the years, so it is awesome to see a storm where it's cold and the snow sticks to the roads. Seriously, the snow never sticks to the roads here. But this was last night around 10pm after rates picked up in my neighborhood. It was gorgeous - the kind of rainbow, light scattering pixie dust flakes we barely ever see because we usually get cold slop. And it's still cold today! 10/10 storm even if all I ended up with was 4". 

Measured 4" on the grill and in the yard at 8am today near downtown silver spring.

lol "its raining in georgetown" is going to be the new "NE maryland pummeled!!!"

Rare that we see the Google traffic map look slow for the whole region. Snow sticking to the roads everywhere! Drive safe if you have to go out.

Closing in on two inches in silver spring, enough to sled! First time in the neighborhood since 2022... Fifth grader is happy.

Snow has gotten a bit heavier in Silver Spring, but the rates were too low to keep the roads covered since this AM. Piling up on grassy surfaces a bit. The HRRR is booty cheeks and I toss.

Wayne Ave in silver spring had approximately two tons of sand salt mix on it. All clear. Side roads not so much. Very fine light snow now.

Decent pixie dust coating in silver spring

I know it’s just a tiny little artifact in it all, but the WSSI has a tiny dot just north of FDK and that is basically where I live. I’ve never seen anything like that before. Hilarious 

Is that map based on population density? Or road density?

I like herbs. But been getting “other” uh stuff. Rave stuff. Pretty, pretty good.  But yeah, I’m mostly green leaf guy. 
 

6z coming soon guys. I’m already buzzed. 

6z eh

Let's see what the King says (seriously)

Yeah, good look in fantasyland (everything on GFS beyond 72 hours is fantasyland):

This could be a decent GFS run for late next week.

I’d rather watch my Birds implode against the Bucs than look at another model run. 

I'm with you. Been watching the eagles religiously since the Kotite era (too young for before that), and man, the collapse in the last 6 games rivals some pretty awful eras of Eagledom. At least I expect it! I think they'll get steamrolled Monday night, but I'll watch every minute nonetheless.

enjoying a nice %@$*ing rain shower that should be a snow shower right now

Great question. This is the worst i have seen the models perform, i think. Perplexing to me that they always show snow to rain/nothing. But never rain to snow?


.

And never nothing to sudden surprise snow inside 96 hours 

Well, the euro was right about Tuesday being trash. Gfs caught up. But the euro is more optimistic for 7 days out, gfs hates it, so .... What? Why do I even bother

The 557ww model also out to sea, though it looks abit closer to the coast than 12z UM, ACCESS-G, and GEOS-5. Reminds me more of the look on 12z ARPEGE

 

where do you find these lmao

Love seeing this in January, even if the precip map shows below normal. I hunt cold!

EPS likes something miller B-coastal-ish for the 19th-20th period.

Looks a tick west to me.

Thanks, in my haste to post, wrote east instead of west. Edited it.

EPS is in range now, 12z, LP is definitely a tick west (look at the 1012mb line), and a tick stronger:

versus 00z:

Yeehaw next threat!
