    I'm on the "just a fluke" side. The proposed mechanisms for artificial enhancement of precipitation by other means (such as pollution from cars) are likely to be seen only in certain very specific local conditions. What we are instead seeing is a continuous parade of synoptic-scale systems. Perhaps the overall Rossby pattern wavelengths are such that there is a repeated pattern on the 6-7 day timescale.

    Tornadic supercell down in the Norfolk area.

    Pouring at IAD. Will be using the covered walkway to the garage.
  4. MN Transplant
    Never really got into anything interesting. 0.26"
  5. MN Transplant
    We do have thunder, which is nice to hear.
  6. MN Transplant
    Jumped almost 10 degrees here in the last 90 minutes and we still don't have much sun. 72.2
  7. MN Transplant
    About a quarter inch so far. Does look like some clearing coming in 1-2 hours via the visible satellite.

    The HRRR is almost never going to be able to nail the exact swaths of precip, so it is best to take it with a grain of salt. The thing that put a damper on any "fun" around DC in the 16z run was the stabilization of the atmosphere ahead of the main line, which gets killed off. 17z on CoD is already more impressive with the cells that pop up after this initial batch.

    Up to 72.4 here. Solar has been up above 500 W/m2 at times, but that is in comparison to >800 on a sunny day at this time of year.

    Occasionally getting brief bursts of filtered sun. We aren't going to lose the higher clouds, but if we can burn off the lower stuff it'll help.

    0.12” and it appears I am missing the pop-ups this morning too.
  12. MN Transplant
    40.5. DCA 43
  13. MN Transplant
    39.6/30

    The eternal forecast dilemma. 33 and rain or 34 and rain.
  15. MN Transplant
    32.7 here. Warm enough overnight to take care of the rest of the snow/ice that was on the driveway, but the elevated surfaces are still frozen.
  16. MN Transplant
    More lightning out west in WV/MD.
  17. MN Transplant
    3.5” total. ZR is mixing in now. 31.2
  18. MN Transplant
    You are truly one of us now.

    The orange (40dbz+) areas are fun. How about some massive kudos to the models that saw the "retreat" of the sleet line during the heavy dumps. Really impressive.
  20. MN Transplant
    Was sleet, back to fatties. Impressive clumps.
  21. MN Transplant
    Yeah, we have some graupel and rimed flakes mixing in. Still mostly -sn
  22. MN Transplant
    2.6”
  23. MN Transplant
    RadarScope indicates a lightning strike in WV with the stuff coming our way.
  24. MN Transplant
    2.0” now, 0.8” in the last hour. An indication of the size of this storm, it is pouring snow in my hometown in MN right now from the same system.

    For anyone worried about the “hole” to the south, that isn’t our problem from DC north. The current radar and all the modeling indicates that the second round of precip is from the expansion/enhancement of the shield from the west. The remaining question is whether that can get here in time to head off the sleet line (which is coming, but can be effectively slowed by heavier precip). Ob: Nice fat flakes falling. Not pouring snow, but not exactly a lazy fall either.
