  1. Sounds like there are a couple folks in here that need a nap.
  2. Double whammy - that sucks! Hope you feel better as well! Heard some people are getting a bitter/metallic taste as a side effect of the Paxlovid. Guess it beats the alternative, though...
  3. With everyone seeing family and such the next two weeks - BE SAFE. I admittedly have not gotten the updated booster for COVID, but I have COVID now and am battling a 103+ fever. Luckily was able to get a script for Paxlovid without too much effort. Wash your hands, people!
  4. Officially into the teens in Colesville (19.8). Barely any ice on the roads - it all dried up before it could freeze. A few icy patches in parking lots around here.
  5. Hovering around 38 degrees after dropping a degree lower than that.
  6. IIRC the GFS is based on an FV3 core. So it sort of makes some sense that they'd agree. Believe the FV3 is slated to replace the various hi-res/regional models.
  7. Imagine an H5 map like the ICON during the severe season.
  8. Let's reactivate this thread for the late week system. Maybe we can reverse psychology it back to a snow event. Imagine an H5 setup like this in the warm season lol.
  9. I want warnings to be hoisted. Why hasn't LWX hoisted warnings yet? Seems like there should be warnings with this package. It's less than 24 hours away...what's taking them so long? CTP already hoisted them!
  10. Woke up in Colesville to a below-freezing temp but the rain was just coming down too hard to accrete. Wet roads only. Better chance of hydroplaning on my way in to work versus sliding on ice.
  11. 34/27 and that dewpoint is on the rise.
  12. I understand where you are coming from. But for ice...even .01" of accretion in the wrong spot could cause a crash - and if that involves a bus everyone will complain they didn't play it safe. School systems play it SUPER safe with icing.
  13. Distance will matter as usual. The father NW, the more icy. We will be right on the line in the Colesville/Wheaton/Cloverly areas. Probably minor icing for us
  14. But remember - if it is coming down steadily - it's not likely to accrete as easily. Far NW suburbs will definitely be hazardous. I think @mappy is being quite realistic with how our ice events normally turn out. A few spots will definitely be in ice storm territory - but it won't be a widespread significant ice storm outside of FAR NW areas. I'm expecting a slippery sidewalk or two north of Silver Spring, MD...but not much more.
  15. Does WB have the FRAM product? It tends to be a lot more realistic with ZR accretion versus the ZR from QPF alone product.
  16. Yep - and all of those factors contribute to why significant ice storms are exceedingly rare in most of our area (except in favored areas, perhaps).
  17. That's right around when I started exiting my full-on weenie years and becoming a much more balanced weather nerd.
  18. The true Confucius of the Mid-Atlantic. Your posts are always *chefs kiss*
  19. Seems like the kind of day where a bunch of cells with little or no lightning and tops under 35kft will all seem to take on mini-supercell characteristics and perhaps put down a brief tornado. Chaotic kind of days.
