  1. Finished with 1.79”. What a soaker.
  2. Almost 1.5” rainfall for the storm. Really comes down heavy in spurts.
  3. Noticed that nobody wore anything on their head. Wonder if that is against the rules or just “tough guy” syndrome.
  4. That is maybe the most Texan I’ll ever be.
  5. First HRRR run (at 48, I know), shows the freezing line entering Garrett Co at 12z Friday. 57 in DC at the time.
  6. Yes! It may be sacrilege to say, but chili is ruined by beans.
  7. The Feb obs thread has it. It was chilly, and the numbers would be more impressive if you took out Jan 1-2 which were way above normal.
  8. Seems like there should be a thread, at least for our northern folks.
  9. The 3km NAM flipped to a mid-40s high today with the 06z run.
  10. Sleet requires a deeper cold layer so the droplets refreeze before hitting the ground. This is a perfect freezing rain scenario with the cold temps right at the surface.
  11. We need to sweep that northern vort through so that there is spacing for the southern vort to climb.
  12. Yes, but this one has a lot working against it in the DC area. One is that it drops an inch of rain prior to going near freezing, so the surfaces won’t be cold/dry to start with. And a big deal is that this is happening mid-day, so even with the clouds we are going to be fighting solar radiation.
  13. Colder, but still a non-event for DC. Light precip at 31 isn’t going to do anything. Northern MD might have some interesting times.
  14. I know all eyes are on the precipitation, but I can’t get over what the 3km NAM is trying to do tomorrow. It holds us all near freezing all day, while the Euro, GFS, and HRRR all take us to the upper 40s.
  15. I don’t actually know why they use that terminology. SREF is ensemble-based, so it uses slightly different initial conditions to see how robust the solutions are to model/observation error. It is an older system so they aren’t as advanced as other methods now.
  16. @mattie g USMNT game-time temp on Wednesday looks like it will be low single digits. I don't know who approved soccer in Minnesota in February.
