QPF was good around here, but it should have been a bigger warning sign that Kucera was less than 10:1.

Ground is barely whitened and the trees don't have much. At least at my elevation (~450') it stuck to the trees. DCA's measurements always seem suspect, but for the most part they are reality.

12/5 - 1.9" 12/14 - 1.3" Total - 3.2"

Yeah, some, but not a lot. Weirdly, it balances out the extremely high ratio snow from last week to the point where I’m nearly 10:1 on the season.

1.3” on 0.25” precip. Putrid ratios

We are still 6 hours away from snow in the DC beltway.

At one point the HRRR wanted to pump us to the mid-upper 40s. I topped out at 42 also.

RRFS is a dud for Virginia but looks good north of Baltimore.

10:1 maps are higher than Kucera on the NAM in this case. I'd take the lower amounts.

5pm Sunday wind chills of -5 to +5. Get your stuff done today.

Ends up about identical to 6z around DC. 2"

It snows for maybe 2 hours IMBY on the 6z 3k.

Everyone is appropriately focused on the precip chances, but the temperature trend is looking like it will be unusual. The core of the cold sweeps in during the day Sunday and we are in deep winter by evening with temps somewhere around 20 and breezy conditions. But then the airmass begins to moderate and we flatline overnight into Monday.

I think we're semi-cooked on this one. It just frankly doesn't snow for very long on any of the models and it isn't like this is a juiced up event. We'll try again in January.

Forget north/south, it is 95 vs everyone else
