Exactly right. Dca isn’t even representative of the entire city. It’s really an island to itself which is why we should let people who care about science have the official reporting site at the zoo.
Wish we could have an official reporting site up there near the zoo or rock creek park that would have less river and urban heat influence. Like Central Park in nyc. Seems it would be a more accurate measurement for snowfall at least.
Looks like the low gets captured and stalls and even retrogrades. That was the PSU boom scenario the other day he spoke about after the suppressed euro run.
Hrrr long range is a a solid 5-6 inches for dc metro before any mixing. One part of the storm we need to produce is the thump so that’s reassuring even though it’s the hrrr at range.
That’s why I liked the euro runs with a weaker coastal that went E rather than NE up the coast from our latitude. Wasn’t a blockbuster but it was clean.
Dc loses 850s for 6-10 hours on the uk with some decent rain/mix. Euro had dc below freezing for the most part for the entire column during this time. Hopefully the euro thermals are right.
