  1. Just looking back at the 18z GFS, the wind profile post-front quickly changes back to SWerly early in the day on Wednesday. The GFS doesn’t get any QPF to us with the good pulse late in the day on Wednesday, but that would be the perfect time for a squall.
  2. The NAM is tough to decipher. It is really hitting on a squally frontal passage at about 3z for the DC metro. What exactly is the precip type? I’m not sure I’d stick out my neck on either. Another thing to point out - the cold is relatively pedestrian with the frontal passage. It is the second pulse late in the day on Wednesday that really brings the chill.
  3. The cold may not be getting as much play as it could be. Taken literally, the 18z GFS has the coldest 850 temp on record at Minneapolis. The 12z Euro is top-10 coldest. Excellent chance it doesn't verify, but that is still a nasty cold airmass rotating through the northern tier of the US. When you have the cold, there are always chances for something. Maybe we can get lucky on the retreat.
  4. I’m surprised we haven’t had more days like this. Nice catch.
  5. Oh, a NFCCG in the Superdome was won by a team that didn’t deserve it due to massive ref errors. Hmmm. /Favre doesn’t forget
  6. Spiked to 47 at 4am. 0.98” rain. The frontal passage looks like a dud too, cold temps lagging.
  7. I’m down to maybe 40% coverage. It’ll be just piles by noon tomorrow.
  8. HRRR and 3k at 12z both hinted at the same thing - tomorrow am looks really nice. Precip and clouds clear by 7-8am and the main temp drop lags behind by a couple of hours. HRRR has it 55 and mostly sunny at 10am right before the winds really kick up and it comes crashing down.
  9. I wonder what was the last time we had heavy (1”+) precip falling on an existing snowpack. Certainly Christmas 2009 counts.
  10. 2/14/15 was the intense snow squall. 2/13/17 had an great wind-driven rain squall
  11. 11/15/2018 1.5 1/12-1/13/19 9.8 1/17/19 1.4 18-19 Seasonal 12.7
  12. 1.4” on 0.11” precip. Nothing at all on sidewalks or the street.
  13. Euro goes from 55 to 26 between 9am and noon. That is impressive.
  14. Same. Getting more and more stressed about all of the crap virtually "piling up" on my desk.
  15. I didn’t really notice any non-snow forms here, but there were a lot of needle snowflakes which are just awful for accumulation.
