  1. 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.
  2. I think we are up to the 7th wettest year on record at DCA now.
  3. Binghamton already has three different reports of over 40” on their local storm report. Awesome stuff.
  4. Just a trace from overnight, so it stays 1.5” snow total with 1.37” precip.
  5. By the way, look at the ridiculous lack of northerly wind barbs in this image. Southerly 850s in Erie!
  6. 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.
  7. 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).
  8. 1.5” before the switch. The CC line was dead on. Technology is amazing.
  9. 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).
  10. I'm hoping we can fight it off for a while, at least.
  11. Yeah, the low tucking in and stalling before scooting east really plays well for NW areas.
  12. The 3km NAM has a QPF problem with upslope over low-to-moderate terrain. Hence the 4”+ at Camp David. Those values can be ignored.
  13. The maps are out of control. Harrisonburg with 24” in 6 hours? Come on.
  14. It looks like the two low situation is due to a meso-low from the NC thunderstorm complex on the 3km NAM. Not sure that it plays a huge role in the thermal profile up by us.
  15. DC Beltway gets a last moment stick save at 3z with the back side whitening the ground on the 3km.
  16. Nice line of thunderstorms in NC on the nest. No comment necessary for the DC area.
  17. NAM comes in hot and heavy. 18z R/S line is about DCA and then it blows north by 21z. In that period, however, there is ~0.5” precip. The longer that the transition holds off, the better we can do on the front end.
  18. Stuck in a meeting, but the big win from the euro run is that the changeover in my neck of the woods is ~3pm and after 0.3”+ of qpf.
