Snow balls again! So pretty. 

Snow slowed and flakes got smaller but I measured a solid 2 inches so far

Snow covering everything. Nice big flakes. Super wet snow. 

34/26 in Purcellville 

Watching Reed trimmer in SC with heavy snow! Crazy. 

40/25 in Purcellville

Was discussing in SE forum we need a name for the Icon when we are about to get lit up. Equivalency of Nam with Nam’d or Nam’ing. Someone had voted for EYE Con’d. Icon IMO has killed it thus far. 

Iconic... Been used a lot already.

18z ICON pretty much crushes the region nicely

HUGGGGGGG

Eeeeh! Three Globals advertising ice event! I am sure we will see some changes! Not looking good though

@WxUSAF that Feb 2 thing didn’t get much attention because it wasn’t even on the radar until like 36 hours out. It was a weak wave buried between the two big storms that guidance didn’t see. Then even when it popped up it was a 3-6” snow 2 days before 2-3 feet was showing on guidance so it was an afterthought to everyone. No tracking and by the time it was snowing we were already under a watch for a HECS. 

I was just discussing this with a buddy of mine since we are in the same week! 

ICON - Miss to the south now.

So we went from Arctic Blast to Bust.. As I mentioned earlier.. and would the Ridge mean a warming trend? Sheesh!

This is not an arctic "bust". You're looking at forecasts that are based off the GFS which probably doesn't have a clue. Both the GEFS and EPS support an extended period of much colder than normal temperatures. Relax.

LOL! I know it will be cold, I just had an idea it would be a bit colder!

I think the Euro Ensembles are back for Sunday? Anyone care to confirm?

I cannot believe I am waking up to the 4th day in a row with snow falling! That is cool. Looks like 0.2" fell in these snow bands! Wow!

Another decent hit on the icon for Sunday.  Good 0z start 

Snow to rain 

Where can we get the Euro Ens? I know they come out in about an hour, just wondering which services have them and the costs..

The 12z GFS verbatim actually is a stinker.  Not only is there no snow through 7 days, it doesn't send the core of the cold down to us.

I was thinking the same thing! The whole set up for wave trains and Arctic air kind of fizzled out (to a degree (or maybe 20 degrees - LOL)! 

Never really got in the fun out here in Purcellville this morning. Started hearing dripping and see we shot up to 35 degrees! 

The melt is on!

Wow, what an impressive streamer! I cannot lie, I would love it to expand (do not want to take anyone else's fun away) and get me in on the action! But happy for people getting their snow! Also happy to wake up for the third day to still have some snow falling and such a wintry feel out there! Wow!

NOVA looks solid blue on weenie radar from Leesburg almost to F-burg

Well, I am seeing the dryness set in here on Radar. Another inch on this system for me, but looks like pixies on the doorstep now.

Maybe we will see some resurgence

@clskinsfan  You seem to be doing really well on this wrap around! Wow! I see four more bands coming your way!

There is another storm that seems to show up around the 10th as well.. multiple models pointing to that timeframe!

That thing goes mega boom north of here! Blizzard for NE. Exact storm tracks are way too far off for fine details! Just fun to have something to watch. The War between the models is back!
