  1. Gradient is tightening and we are slowly losing the battle but around the immediate DC area we're still at -2 degrees.
  2. Man driving back on FFX parkway and Reston town center area got screwed. Areas a mile or two north got the initial band and then a couple miles south moderate dendrites started with more snow on the ground. Now home and nice fluffy snow. Perfect for a post hike hot tub
  3. Interesting. I hiked Seneca regional park (super pretty, pictures will come later) but didn’t notice a different between the top of the hills and the Potomac at the bottom. Guess everything was cold enough.
  4. Went on a drive to Seneca state park to hike and the snowfall gradient on ffx parkway past route 606 was insane. In half a mile went from snow topping the trees to snow on the grass. Would’ve been so pissed to be right on that line.
  5. You can tell we actually have good dynamics aloft from the “flurries” being dendrites but we need some juice
  6. Did see a couple cams move towards this overnight but wanted to hope it wouldn't happen. Sucks to be between bands but what can you do.
  7. Hey we're in the same boat! ... this boat sucks. At least we seem to have a decently put together precip shield making its way east.
  8. Man the 511 cameras following 28 north really show how once you get past old ox road the sky just opens up.
  9. Nothing outside. Dew point has gone up slightly but it’s clear I’m waiting for the stuff out past the blue ridge. Congrats to the people in the band!
  10. Think this might be your storm for payback after my backyard got the band last Sunday. Hoping it can slink just 5 miles south
  11. KIAD will be good to track as snow starts making it's way into the lower atmosphere. SPC shows some scattered FGEN at the 700mb level but better dynamics out west. Which, to be fair, I didn't think this would start so early.
  12. I think you just need to expand your hiking weather. Next to no one is out on our April to June perfect track gulf soakers which provides a really cool vibe. Additionally, some trails have next to no one on them at anytime for some reason. Personally, I plan to fully use this time period before bugs and yellow jackets infest the trails.
  13. You know we're done with winter when our March write up is on severe weather
  14. Some models have it better than others. Though enough show something of that sort where I'm cautiously hopeful. Don't really know where this lift is coming from but GFS and mesos show some 850-700mb temp advection and resulting FGEN which I guess will be something to watch tomorrow. I'm trying to finish my Modern Political Theory essay on Hobbes from home tomorrow ("spring" break) so some nice ambiance would be cool.
  15. Was clicking around on some soundings and some models seem to have a sneaky good alignment of lift and the DGZ for a band tomorrow somewhere between DC and Baltimore. We got a saturated upper atmosphere so once the surface moistens I think it would actually be a very pretty winter afternoon for someone.
  16. I think 60s is a good compromise for this time of year. Nice enough where you can comfortably wear no jacket but not so warm where it starts feeling uncomfortable.
  17. Oh please do let me know if you have any good wildflower hikes to go on. I've done the Bull Run Bluebells but otherwise just know about the Mountain Laurels across Shenandoah and WV. Got some hikes I've done in the winter (namely Cranberry wilderness) that I can't wait to do in the spring. Also have a patch of wild daffodils out next to a path near my house. Just hundreds of them.
  18. Starting to see some daffodils poke up through the ground! Can’t wait for wildflower hike season.
  19. I think the Euro OP will be better than its previous run
