  1. The 12z HRRR is aggressive enough that it thinks that there will be enough snow cover to radiate on Saturday morning.
  2. I’m not seeing much evidence of a “flash freeze”. Maybe a 20-25 degree drop over a three hour period. The mountains really ruin it for us.
  3. 56 degrees with gusts to 9mph. Rocking and rolling here.
  4. We don't usually realize the high gusts with S to SE winds, but this bears watching.
  5. Pretty sure we did it last year on 12/11/19 too, unless I'm interpreting my brief notes on that one incorrectly.
  6. 4 different states with reports of 40"+. That is amazing.
  7. Counting it. 0.1” and more flurries coming down 270 per radar.
  8. Well, I'm already at 70% of last year's total, so I guess I shouldn't get too greedy.
  9. The GFS and Euro are pretty in sync with the dump of cold air at Christmas. I'd like to see maybe a reinforcement of that and then a storm running into it.
  10. Popping into from the mid-Atlantic board out of pure jealousy. There is a poster named Jeb who used to live in the DC area. He was an eccentric sort and would talk about his obsession for snow and going out in it. Jebwalking in the snow became a common saying on our board and it filtered around.
  11. I think we are up to the 7th wettest year on record at DCA now.
  12. Binghamton already has three different reports of over 40” on their local storm report. Awesome stuff.
  13. Just a trace from overnight, so it stays 1.5” snow total with 1.37” precip.
  14. By the way, look at the ridiculous lack of northerly wind barbs in this image. Southerly 850s in Erie!
  15. The exact position of the surface low didn’t end up mattering as much as the upper air features. The 850 low, which is both broad and late developing, is basically over DC allowing the warm air to flood in. We always want an 850 track to the south of DC by a fair margin.
  16. Really impressed with the staying power of the snow. At least .75” liquid on top of 1.5” of snow and it is largely still around. There is still snow on our lighter colored car (not the darker one).
  17. 1.5” before the switch. The CC line was dead on. Technology is amazing.
  18. You can see the CC line get shunted off to the east. Looks ok for another 1-2 hours in the DC area (better NW of course).
  19. I'm hoping we can fight it off for a while, at least.
