Not sure if this has been covered yet, but with the snow more attached to the 500 low, the temps aloft are cold enough to put us in favorable ratio territory on the GFS. So, yes, we'd like more precip, but this could be fluffier than normal.
For a single event, I guess I’d go with the January snow since it was only the 2nd time in 6 years that we had 6”+ on the ground. And it stuck around forever unlike the Feb snow which was gone in two days.
Really though, the story was the complete lack of precip from about mid-July forward.
Maybe a pedantic clarification, but the Euro isn't necessarily showing snow here because of a north trend. What it is doing is swinging a more potent vort through OH into our region which helps with the lift needed for a minor accumulation. The other models don't have that feature or are weaker.
Mammoth is apparently doing well via Jebman, but I didn't realize how awful the season has been so far in Colorado. Only a fraction of runs open at the resorts and way below normal snowpack.
You weren't kidding, what an inversion last night. IAD at 23 and my low was 35. I'm not sure when I've ever been up on DCA by 7 degrees for a low.
On the MD Mesonet, the warmest site was Frostburg at nearly 2300'.
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.
