DCA to 54 so far

I think there are transformers blowing in Tysons

Severe warning everything from central MD on south

Bunch of 30”+ reports in that region. Blockbuster storm for them.

It is pouring in waves. Instant rain rate of >6"/hr.

It is snowing in Birmingham, AL. This is quite the system.

Those cells passing just east of CHO need to be watched

Would not surprise me at all if there was a brief touchdown just after it crossed the Potomac. TIAD had a great view of that one.

DCA and IAD have officially gone over to Broken from Overcast. I'm up over 200 w/m2 solar like some of the mesonet sites.

It is 9:45am.

That's a heck of a radar in LaCrosse, WI right now. Thundersnow and thundersleet.

The '91 Halloween Blizzard is my favorite storm of all-time. It is legendary in Minnesota and there is no debate about its ranking. Also of note on that list, the 1982 storms (#3 and #4) are back-to-back just like our 2010, and 5 of the top 9 storms were in the 1982-1985 period. For this upcoming storm, I'd love to be just north of Green Bay. Looks like they'll get hit with both components of the storm.

We rarely get good sustained southerly winds. It usually doesn’t mix down, but it has today. 53mph gust at DCA

12/5 - 1.9" 12/14 - 1.3" 1/26 - 8.5" 2/6 - 0.2" 2/22 - 3.6" 3/2 - 1.0" 3/12 - 1.5" Total - 18.0"

Sorry, it was non-accumulating after that and we’ve already gone backwards. My CoCoRahs report will be 1.5”.

The trees are caked and the irises are taking the day off.

Historic! That’s awesome.

I’m still waiting for the other 4.5” that I was promised

1.5”

32.0!! Rooftops are completely covered.

Elevated surface starting to cave. 32.9

Wet snow mixing in and out. 37.4

DCA has never recorded measurable snowfall on the same day as a 70+ temperature. Here are the top max temps with at least 0.1" recorded.

You all realize that any randos from outside the core board group might be reading this thread and think we are going to get a snowstorm today, right? 10z HRRR
