The 3km NAM from 12z gives us 3+ inches of snow.  Through 4pm it had 0.01” qpf.  This is all just bonus scenery snow.

Very nice knowing that anything we get before 4pm is just a bonus

Think I’ve reached an inch, or will soon. 

Light snow 27/24. Sidewalks are gone, road is stubborn

 

Interesting how sidewalks have caved in Ashburn but out 3 east of Dulles they’ve continued to melt. 

Took an amazing hour nap after a bike ride in the snow and rates have picked up. First time during the day that visibility has gone down

Gone are the days where a 12"+ storm will give kids a week off. I got a week off Senior year from the 2016 storm, so I got to experience the last of it.

Fcps for once (maybe first time ever???) made a good decision: Fairfax County Public Schools announced that the school district will be reverting to its former policy for snow days for the 2023-24 school year. This decision means there will be no virtual learning days when school is closed due to inclement weather.

That one looks like it's from yesterday.

It says issued Jan 15th 9am so unless time itself has changed I think we’re good

Slowly coming up

And I believe that’s on top of the mostly area wide (my condolences@North Balti Zen) .5-1 we’ve already had

That's odd. I'm seeing a different map for the same map time.

It updates differently, had the same thing happen to me yesterday

Both the ARW1 and 2 are crazy considering those are 10-1 

So I’m getting at least 7 inches of snow thanks got. I guess if psu says so it must be true

Fine light snow falling again

Wonder if this will be an off and on sorta deal till second round as radar continues to show light returns streaming in from the west

Must have gotten good banding first round with .9 inches of extremely light snow covering everything (including pavement

Woke up for swim practice and absolutely beautiful outside and all of the roads have caved. Looks like this light snow continues for a good many hours too!

NAM manages to get .5 + qdf in the cities by the time it’s all over

Maybe the 18z GFS will make you pass out

Or throw up …

I love when even the “best” case scenario (for “normal” people that is) is still 3 inches of snow! 

If we get the coastal to come back from the grave this is going to be the craziest reverse coup seen by the gfs, like some Trojan horse type shit.

It could be ptype BS, but it’s “ice” for everyone outside the mountains. Rain as you go SE of DC



Flips back to a little snow at 54

As someone who really wants to miss school this week I see this outcome as an absolute win

The 12z Euro was pretty good 1-3 I think so just need it to follow the general 0z trend

further improvements to the 10:1 mean at 18z.

12z and 18z really brought the Gefs back from 1.5 inches at DCA to 2.5 inches, at this point ens are out of their range but still nice to see

In support of your thoughts,  NOAA says that the warming rate has doubled since 1981 but the pier reviewed data still says 2 F since 1880. The climate is always changing and has been for millions of years. Any speculation about the next 50 or 100 years is just that. But, a snow drought since 2016 in D.C. because of this?  I don't believe NOAA would support that idea.

Saying that human released greenhouse gasses will continue to warm the planet in the 21st century isn’t speculation, hope this helps ✨

Start the thread now, that way the models have time to lose it and then bring it back

This is how jaded we are.  GFS clocks us in not so fantasy land and there are like 12 posts after and most of the responses are like meh.  

Almost like 2 rug pulls in 2 weeks starts to dampen the mood … but hey third times the charm!

At some point between last winter and the Canadian wildfires I transitioned into full-on climate doomer. I keep checking in the hopes we at least get a MECS to prove my worst fears wrong, in the short term at least…

I have four young kids and it scares me what this planet is going to look like by the time they grow up. 

As someone who is legally a kid by the government: lack of snow is the least of our problems, if getting no snow on the east coast is what it takes for some science denying people to wake up then I’m down for it! and if you think it’s bad for your kids imagine their kids generation …

all because some are likely going to miss out on like 1-3” of snowfall. christ

That’s only part of the reason, people are upset because as psu outlined we've been in a great long wave pattern since end of December and have nothing to show for it! So when Mets reasonably point out we have another great pattern lining up most people are like “great! But we need to score from these at a point”. Personally I’m not canceling winter yet but that’s the current mood rn and you can’t rlly blame people for it.
