  1. This, except not ironically. This precip shield is flying.
  2. I like how the ice pellets that are falling now are making divots in the prior sleet cover.
  3. 7am CoCoRaHS report was .06” precip, T snow. DCA 0.09” so far. IAD at 6 miles vis. It is hard to look out the window and tell that anything is falling.
  4. They will be launching the balloon from Dulles in a few minutes. We’ll get the results in 45-60 min. The SPC mesoanalysis page has a model-derived estimate of the upper air structure right now. 850s are a problem (more than 700 or 925). I’m guessing there is even a worse layer in there above 850.
  5. No, it is a better tool when there is one distinct transition. This is a mess.
  6. Should I post the CC radar for you? 26.7 and all sleet
  7. The NAM was terrible from 3 days out.
  8. 3k is a sleet event right from the start in DC. 1” qpf.
  9. The 850 temp change from 09z to 12z are...not entirely believable.
  10. Legit snorted. HRRR continues to look ok for DC. All snow through 14z with sleet knocking on the door, but heavy precip.
  11. Weather boards. Serious business. 33.8 and a very pleasant day out there. Snow board is set up and ready for some sort of precipitation.
  12. ~0.4” QPF from 11-13z at DCA on the 18z 3k NAM
  13. The GFS is almost 1.5” QPF at DCA, all frozen. That is an amazing model run, even if it is only some front end snow.
  14. The trough axis at that point is in the central Plains. While we do pop a surface low in the right spot, this is not a good setup for an all-snow event for our region, no matter what the year is.
  15. FYI - the total precip at DCA for the Valentines 2007 sleet bomb was 1.06”. So, this is right in that ballpark.
  16. Our neighborhood crocus house has a bunch up, but everything is definitely later than last year.
  17. That’s the run we’ve been impatiently waiting for.
  18. It looks like 12z was a weird blip. Check this out.
  19. While generally true, the 18z NAM 3k is just a region wide precip show. DC isn't even in the best band, almost everyone is 0.75"+ in that time period.
  20. 3k has 0.91" precip in 6 hours from 12z-18z. While I want that all to be snow, the sleet beatdown would be crazy to watch (and hear).
