Yeah this is really cool. Turned this storm from a mild underperformer into something a bit more memorable considering we started this event about two days ago now. Simply amazing. Not impossible to inch closer to six if this band can hold for a while. Gonna get some sleep and see what tomorrow brings as this thing wrings itself out before pulling away.

Also I’ll add that the timing was all discombobulated but the accumulation range was pretty spot on around here. About five inches total before compacting and including IP/ZR.

After being fringed since the first thump it’s nice to get some snow showers here as everything winds down. A truly epic storm. It’s not the most organized but it’s still hitting from Maine down to Roanoke, with some lake enhanced stuff even flurrying down in Raleigh.

Finally getting some light snow.

Only place in the world it’s not snowing.

Life continues to deal me lemons, with a side of crap.

I give it a 5% chance.

I'll give all my GameStop gains back (which aren't that much anyway so I probably can't trick the cosmos).

Yeah huge bummer here. Hoping for a miracle but it never really happens.

It split from the main band and passed you. It's going to be very tough to get anything consistent from here on out. The lift across the metro region is just terrible, everything that seems like it could hit will most likely erode and reappear to our west. But if this thing can keep torqueing we could see something decent push its way in.

I'm within an inch or so of the 4-8" range. About half of what was modeled but we could get lucky.

I'm in NW DC, there is no such thing.

I'm 58% sure it will erode as it presses down into DC. The valleys here have such terrible left. Hopefully the decent room for error I've left wins the day though.

I'm at about .01" per hour so lots of room to run.

I think I see about ten frozen motes swirling around out there. Could just be kicked up from the ground by the wind though....MIRACLES MAY STILL MANIFEST THEMSELVES.

There's absolutely no reason to take the models wholesale anymore. The general idea they're giving is spot on. Also, this thing is just beginning to pivot. We were never going to cash in the whole time down here or else we would be forecast for another 5-10 or so. We are where we are and we still have a solid chance of another couple inches when H7 keeps torqueing then pulling away. The big problem is if it erodes too fast as it pulls away. My money is on something in between, hence a shot at another 1-2 here in NW DC.

I'm not so sure. It showed that it would take a good amount of time for this thing to really wind up. Let's see what happens as it does.

Hey look at that beautiful hole right next to DC. CLASSIC. But seriously look at this beautiful surprise that I kept telling everyone about! We're not done yet!

Dude it's beyond trash. Very unfortunate. They must have a funding problem because their products are not taking us in the right direction.

College Park?

Jan 2000. My all time favorite storm because it was clear as day from the radar that it was headed our way. But they were still just hugging the solutions.

And tbh temps are cold enough to support this sticking around at least on grassy surfaces. We’re not gonna see any torch that the gfs was showing earlier. These tailing, sweeping bands are exactly what I’ve been thinking about in terms of surprises.

LOL so you’ll show me how tough you are in some DMs? That’s just too good. Thanks for that man I needed a good laugh.

Sorry but I mean it’s frustrating. We shouldn’t have these people in here.

This is exactly how I feel. Without any further trending of the low, simply with a more robust precip shield we could see something halfway decent tomorrow. The models just don’t have a handle on this at all. Should be very interesting.
