  1. Looking at CoCoRahs data, it looks like the total precip was roughly 0.5" to 1.0". So, several of the models really busted high on the QPF, setting aside any question about snow maps.
  2. 1.5" - 12/16 0.1" - 12/18 0.1" - 1/25 4.7" - 1/31 to 2/2 Total: 6.4"
  3. The 12z GFS verbatim actually is a stinker. Not only is there no snow through 7 days, it doesn't send the core of the cold down to us.
  4. It is definitely snowglobe snow. It has popped above freezing now, so it shouldn't be a travel hazard.
  5. I feel like if you see something anomalous, you want a pretty good model consensus to go that way. And never trust the RGEM if it is doing something stupid.
  6. Verification (IMBY) 3.2" Sunday 1.5" Monday/Tuesday Always go with the pessimistic forecast
  7. We're looking at the area north of Germantown/Gaithersburg/Rockville.
  8. Street back to being covered. Nice to freshen up the snow.
  9. The GFS has been showing precip along the cold frontal passage at the edge of the arctic airmass at 6-7 days. Those can be squall-y and fun if it comes together right. Something to keep an eye on.
  10. Certainly is colder than many of the models thought for this morning. 26.2 here. Two day total of 3.2" snow and 0.38" precip, the last 0.05" was ice. CoCoRaHS two-day reports
  11. The GFS has an event. Different evolution with a wave along a stalled front. It could work, but the whole setup is in flux. Too far out, still.
  12. 00z Euro is a dud for next weekend’s storm. 500 doesn’t look as good and the storm pops late and is weak. Would love to hit on this storm, even if minor, and then have the Arctic chill follow it.
  13. 29.5. -ZR, which it appears it will be for quite a while.
  14. The problem is that the exact surface low location doesn’t matter too much for us. The target is still Long Island/NYC/Northern NJ.
  15. 2.0” on the snowboard in Falls Church. 0.5”/hr rate.
  16. Must have been between 4-5am based on my temp/DP trace. Edit - per my cameras, actually closer to 3:30am.
  17. A transfer that gives DC 4” and NYC 20”+. Yeah, that tracks.
  18. The NAM reforms the 500 low over NJ vs the 12z Euro doing it over us. We quite simply can’t have a 500 low north of us. It doesn’t work.
  19. It’ll be good if we all just pretend that the 00z HRRR doesn’t exist.
