If you need a sense of certainty, I guess. If you’re being realistic, it’s impossible to say.

Confused about the forecasting, especially with NWS in our area. The wife and I are headed to the Ravens game today and were expecting a soaker. But none of the mesos have any rain after this back edge pulls through—which it just did. NWS has “rain before 10AM” today. Fair enough, these point and click forecasts are always whatever. But then it has “rain before 10PM” tonight. The NAM suite shows absolutely nothing after this morning. The GFS shows some spotty rain but it’s well out of its range. Hoping we can just wear our Ravens gear and avoid busting out the ponchos. Fingers crossed.

This week has somewhat made up for the lull. Getting two to come back our way and then outperform considerably is a pretty good deal. Easily 5” here in AdMo. Snow is really high in some places!

Wow this band means business!

Everyone should be happy here considering what was depicted two days ago. im guessing about 3.5-4.5” here in AdMo. Light snow not doing much accumulation. But even if we don’t get under another band I’m happy as a clam with this one. The puppy is in heaven!

It's actually not backbuilding as much as feeding from the other side of the Apps. Pretty sure that radar jump isn't real. Radar always has trouble picking up the higher elevations when there's strong orthographic lift.

Also, roads completely covered here in AdMo--EVEN CT!!!

This is even better than last storm, at least here in AdMo. Way better rates and dendrites. Our Bernese pup is absolutely thrilled. She's passed out now from our last romp. Last storm was pretty cool, but this is the first true snower in years.

The HRRR is hard to trust but I’d be happy with this result.

They closed for the last event. But that may have gone WSW during.

Think this is a myth but I choose not to believe that either.

Holy crap please do.

Huh? I’m in AdMo and there’s at least 2.5” on the ground with moderate snow.

Can confirm. Columbia also covered.

I’m in Adams Morgan and there is plenty of snow. Probably 1 or 1.5”. The main event is just gearing up. Look at the radar. Look at the models. You should see that things are just getting real.

I was just thinking that the NAM has had this cold. Many here continue to blast that model, when this is far from the first time that it's carried the day. Yes, it's streaky, but it's still often a better short-range model than the globals.

What's your go-to radar site? Nothing does the trick for me. Closest thing to acceptable is this cod map, but not enough perspective for my liking. NWS is just god-awful...

It’s pretty random here too. I feel like they get lazy when there hasn’t been snow for a while, but maybe that’s in my head. But there’s way more salt on the sidewalks through Kalorama Park than the side streets near my building.

Wife and I and the new puppy just jebbed for some coffee. Absolutely gorgeous outside. It’s been way too long. Our 9-week Bernese is utterly thriving in the weather of her people.

About the same here in AdMo. Starting to overcome the salt on the more heavily treated roads and walkways as well.

HRRR seems to have been too dry throughout. Did it have any of this pre-game stuff throughout the overnight and AM? Really like where we sit right now.

Legit -SN here in Adams Morgan. Haven’t seen this in a long time.

Probably just coming in line with the other competent models. I’ll take 0.5 any day.

This is my favorite storm of all time. I saw the radar the night before. I was in sixth grade and remember thinking, “That looks like it’s headed right for us.” And yet Bob on NBC was saying we were just gonna get grazed for an inch or two.

I live to get NAM’d.
