SnowenOutThere

That band looks lined up to hit me even if it is sleet it would be nice. On an slightly related topic I would like to introduce the new game show How Does The Band Miss. To our south, to our north or just dies take your bets now before it's to late.  

Here near Reston we went from snow to sleet to graupel to snow again 33 degrees and a solid coating.

Went from snow to sleet to graupel here but still pretty heavy. Already have a coating so worst case is off the table.

Fun being in the middle of Western Fairfax

Grass whitened good flakes and moderate snow 34 degrees also the main event looks to be shot right at us I'm assuming that's good for us. 

Moderate snow falling near Reston

The NAM gives us a good snow event this Weekend which is nice because the NAM is apparently is the new king this winter.  

Light snow near reston

Here in Fairfax roads are already white... with salt. 

The Euro gives over 2 inches of ice total from the Weekend into next week with two different storms the whole area would be in shambles, no power for weeks any chance it can turn into a snow storm?

Don’t let anybody start a storm thread until 24 hours out. Problem solved

Just don't start the thread period. 

The Nam 12z stinks for anyone not in Maryland I mean we get 2 hours of snow and 2 of ice then rain. Unlikely but not great for morale.

First slug didnt get consenus until 7 hours ago and it broke mostly the right way.

I understand why people are and should be happy if you are in the northern area of the map but for people near me in Reston it trended to a mix event which is all ready bad and then the second wave looks bad too. If you are still all snow for wave one then you are fine but otherwise I can understand the upset mood. Personally I am a little upset because this always happens but it could change and even if it does not 2-4 still is a decent storm and flakes outside is always appreciated. 

Also I mean we got the northward shift and it looks to destroy my snowfall totals but for the wave we need one its not, always fun to track storms.

NAM and Euro sure show it

Feel like it's going to be where I am near Reston because the first wave will be mix and slop then the second will miss to my south. I really hope that this does not happen but it might.

CWG predicts 3-7 for me and 2-6 elsewhere 

Wow, this is a little disappointing seems to happen with every storm but it still gives us 3-5 inches of snow in DC and all snow. There is still time for it to trend back towards us too but can't lie and say this is not a little disheartening.

Something might fall from the sky.

Sums it up

why?

Are we going to start a storm thread for this instead of just posting in the 3-7 day thread? Also the UKMET looks good.

Why is everyone worried about suppression? Every storm this year has had a north trend which causes us to get less snow or ice. Just take the Sunday's storm last week it just kept north shifting and before it did everyone was worried about suppression. The December storm also north shifted and got us shafted which is why I don't know why there are lots of concerns about it. Maybe if it keep going south through today you could. This is not even mentioning that the guidance still looks good, I mean the 00z Euro gives 10 inches of all snow in DC. If anything we need the guidance to shift a bit south today to give us some breathing room when it all north shifts. 

I have never experienced a proper ice storm storm or glacier storm that dumps snow then ice without it turning to rain. I have also never been in a low temp ice event and it would be the only way to get a snow day now so... Just kidding though, I would love a snow day and a glacier but I would rather have a foot of snow. If this storm does end up giving us a majority snow event that would be crazy, 3-4(if Sunday happens) moderate to heavy events in 2 weeks. With the pattern the rest of Feb looks good and we seem to have cold air in place for once so I think this thread will be up to seasonal average and maybe even more if we get lucky. 

Snow depth on the a plastic lid is around 2'' and a final band just moved through.  

Super heavy super wet and huge snowflakes covering the grass now near reston, went from wet to white in 10 minutes. Just nice to see heavy snow with big flakes again.

Hey what is a good radar to use for storms both winter and summer?
