    Feb 5/6, 2010 - Everything that has been said here. Knowing that it was coming was incredible, and it is impossible to divorce it from the excellent pre-game (11.2" from 1/30 and 2/2), and follow-up. Just a beautiful event all the way around. 24.7" Oct 31/Nov 1, 1991 (in Minnesota) - The GOAT storm in Minnesota history. 21" in my location, 28" in Minneapolis, 36" in Duluth. 8' drifts. Everyone has a story about this one. Overshadowed nationally by the "Perfect Storm" which was happening at nearly the same time. Unbelievable long-wave pattern. Dec 2009 - My first east coast storm will always be special. 19" Jan 2016 - This was such a great storm, but suffers a bit because of the "what could have been" aspect of the long period of very light snow during the middle. Still, 24" and good wind will always rank this among the best. Honorable mentions: Feb 9-10, 2010 - the superband in the morning was fun, but the Miller B aspect meant it really developed a bit too late (9.5"). Feb. 2014 - simply for the pounding snow overnight, downgraded for the warm temps in the middle (13.7").

    Fan aspiration is critical for a home PWS if you want to be close enough in full sun.

    They stuck with 33 as a high, so they threw out the bad readings.

    You aren’t wrong. Something clearly went awry with the sensor at IAD this evening. The climo report looks correct, for now.

    Finished with 1.79”. What a soaker.
  6. MN Transplant
    Almost 1.5” rainfall for the storm. Really comes down heavy in spurts.
  7. MN Transplant
    Moderate rain, 39.5. Pretty gross.

    Noticed that nobody wore anything on their head. Wonder if that is against the rules or just “tough guy” syndrome.

    That is maybe the most Texan I’ll ever be.

    First HRRR run (at 48, I know), shows the freezing line entering Garrett Co at 12z Friday. 57 in DC at the time.

    Yes! It may be sacrilege to say, but chili is ruined by beans.

    The Feb obs thread has it. It was chilly, and the numbers would be more impressive if you took out Jan 1-2 which were way above normal.

    Seems like there should be a thread, at least for our northern folks.

    The 3km NAM flipped to a mid-40s high today with the 06z run.

    Sleet requires a deeper cold layer so the droplets refreeze before hitting the ground. This is a perfect freezing rain scenario with the cold temps right at the surface.

    We need to sweep that northern vort through so that there is spacing for the southern vort to climb.

    Gotta save it for the Harbaugh news tomorrow.

    Yes, but this one has a lot working against it in the DC area. One is that it drops an inch of rain prior to going near freezing, so the surfaces won’t be cold/dry to start with. And a big deal is that this is happening mid-day, so even with the clouds we are going to be fighting solar radiation.

    Colder, but still a non-event for DC. Light precip at 31 isn’t going to do anything. Northern MD might have some interesting times.

    Minneapolis

    NAM nest going down with the ship on tomorrow’s high. Mid-30s.
  23. MN Transplant
    HRRR is still near 50. Makes no damn sense.
  24. MN Transplant
    I know all eyes are on the precipitation, but I can’t get over what the 3km NAM is trying to do tomorrow. It holds us all near freezing all day, while the Euro, GFS, and HRRR all take us to the upper 40s.

    I don’t actually know why they use that terminology. SREF is ensemble-based, so it uses slightly different initial conditions to see how robust the solutions are to model/observation error. It is an older system so they aren’t as advanced as other methods now.
