0.62”. Almost impossible at this point to provide a useful snow depth. 80% of my yard is now grass, but the north facing yards across the street clearly have 3”+ still. I went with 1.0”.

Bring it

And as far as I can tell, the intake for DC's water is up by Great Falls and none of the local counties use the Potomac for water from any point south of that. So, it seems like the sewage problem is gross, but is unlikely to affect much other than the handful of people who use the river for recreation.

I've only recorded 4 precipitation events in the past 50 days, and two of them combine for less than 0.10". We effectively have the big storm and the Jan 10/11 rain as the only notable events this year so far.

I gotta admire the HRRR absolutely insisting that we are going to pop into the mid-50s today in the face of every other piece of guidance keeping us locked into the low 40s. Going down with the ship is stupid, but honorable.

Yeah, the HRRR is on a crazy island. I might put the NAM there too with the 1"+ QPF results.

I haven't been paying any attention to this, but this morning's HRRR has me in the upper 50s Sunday 1pm while the NAM 3k has me in the upper 30s. So, I see everything is locked down.

2.5” remaining but the sloped, sunny spots have caved.

The last few weeks will be great fodder for arguments about the best regional winter events. Basically, can you separate the event itself from the “aftermath”? Everyone wants a Jan ‘16 storm with a Jan ‘26 freeze, but in the end, which combo (big snow/melt, modest snow/freeze) is your favorite?

Lost an inch since yesterday, down to 4". The difference between distributed areas (footsteps, etc.) and untouched areas is dramatic.

KH waves are always nice to see

45.1. Funny to see the mid-upper 50s out in Garrett Co and Frostburg.

I wonder where the storm would rank all-time just simply on frozen precipitation. Basically, how many 2.00" liquid equivalent storms have we had in our area.

If we're done, I'm still giving this winter somewhere in the B range. Yes, we'd finish below normal snowfall, but the last two weeks have been the most impressive stretch of pure winter in my 21 years in the DC area.

The GFS has outperformed the Euro on temps for the globals, and the NAM has been much better than the HRRR. One thing that I noticed that was not surprising was that the AI models did not handle the wind gusts well. They were too muted, as is to be expected with more extreme events.
