  1. 22.3 here. I got to 19 once last winter.
  2. Ha. We can’t afford any type of amped system. We can do a nice gentle overrunning, but if this thing gets overactive it’ll flood us and we can kiss any snow goodbye.
  3. GFS top (DuPage, 00z) Euro bottom (Pivotal, 12z) for early Thursday. 850 winds
  4. Gfs has become completely useless lately for ptypes and Temps While I agree, I don’t like how strong the winds are out of the SW aloft.
  5. You did a lot better than me, just to your west (0.50" total). And DCA got 0.49" to your east. Good banding.
  6. 1.5" - 12/16 0.1" - 12/18 0.1" - 1/25 4.7" - 1/31 to 2/2 1.7" - 2/7 Total: 8.1"
  7. Simply put, it the snow doesn't have the time or opportunity to melt on the way to the surface. It is generally going to be a shallow (and relatively dry) warm layer when it snows at 40.
  8. Right on 0.50” total precip. 0.19” fell as rain 0.31” and 1.7” snow equals a nice 5.5:1 ratio when it was snowing. The HRRR/NAM Kuchera ratios weren’t far off. HRRR was too dry from a distance, but it nailed the front end rain and the temps.
  9. Calling it at 1.7”. I’ll grab the liquid after everything stops falling. The ratios are going to be...subpar.
  10. The clumped dendrites in this last band are nuts
  11. You know it has been a wet snow when your yard looks like this post-snowman. 1.5”
  12. Feels like I have to go measure every half hour to make sure that I am able to report the max new snow depth. Both the HRRR and NAM take us to 40 this afternoon.
  13. Fun fact - it is snowing here, and it is 51 degrees colder at my brother’s place in Minneapolis. (33 vs -18).
  14. Beautiful to watch fall and stick to everything, but the ratios must be awful. 1.5 hrs of solid snow and a touch less than an inch. 33.3
  15. 33.4 and snow. Unfortunately wasted about 0.2” of precip on rain.
  16. Best case might be a 3/25/13 situation. 4” paste bomb on .5-.6” precip in the western DC beltway. Never dropped below 32.8. Started during the late overnight hours which helped.
