This isn't really the pre wave anymore. It's just going to continue streaming across the mountains like this until it looks like that first batch is catching up. This is the beginning of the 'coastal' kicking in. (Kind of just a good fetch off the Atlantic.)
No idea what temperature it is but the snow started winding down as I got back home with the pups. Ground was a mix of mud and white dust. Half the cars were starting to freeze and the other half were wet. More gross than pretty. The gross dog loved it and the fussy one wanted to get back inside and dry off.
Looks like we've got a ways to go to see what happens next unless we start getting some transfer over the mountains with some fetch off the coast.
Moderate snow in Chevy Chase. Taking the dogs out while I have a chance in case this is the best we get. Fingers crossed that this new GFS9(/revelation) is right!
Light snow here. Radar still showing near yellows. Really haven't seen it snow much heavier than this all winter save for an hour or two during the first one.
Yep we're eating toward dew points already. I will say that this stuff is barely even showing up in my window so we might still have some juice in the tank.
Wow. Just wow. Definitely one of the biggest model fails I've seen since boxing day 2011, in terms of trajectory whiffs.
I swear the models used to be better than this.
2010 with the last blizzard is the last I can remember for this area. For me, there was a really nice surprise in New York on November 15, 2018. But yeah busting low or totally is usually the way.
Verbatim? They might as well have been labeling the states wrong. This is a massive failure, and many consecutive days of failure at that.
edit: username checks out though.
Amen. The last six inch storm within 24 hrs that I saw was 2018 in New York—on November 15th. It’s been strangely barren that’s for sure. Just happy something is happening.
But the pros aren't convinced and neither is other guidance to this degree. I'm happy with five inches tomorrow night, whatever happens Thursday night, and then take our chances with whatever happens Saturday into next week.
