SnowenOutThere

Should mention that I have just hit 2 inches of snow

Just went for a small Jebwalk, about to go on a more extended one before it gets dark. Nice heavy dump of snow coming down.

My little weather station has winds out the north/northwest and from looking outside the snow falling is being blown from north to south, lets keep the cold air in!

Hard to see how icing doesn’t over perform out west of DC, temp still 21 has not budged since 1pm. I understand that when the winds shift we warm up quick but I don’t see us gain 11 degrees in 5 hours to switch to rain, that’s over 2 degrees an hour.

Temperature (knock on wood) has held steady at 21 degrees since around 1pm or when the snow started falling. Starting to think we could see a pretty serious ice storm later today or maybe we go full weenie mode and say we get a lot more snow.

So nice out, around .5 of an inch of snow. Still around 21 degrees.

This reminds me so much of the first few hours of the big Jan 2016 storm. If only...

I know, reminds me of some of my early memories of one of the 2009-2010 winter storms. Just feels like this should be a big MECS or HECS with the snow sticking to everything and the temps in the low 20s but alas it is not meant to be.

When is the NAM's wheelhouse cause this is its 18z run for 3pm. Lol

Still 21 degrees outside, very heavy snow but unfortunately small flakes. Around .5 of an inch on the ground. Roads caved, even treated ones. 

When’s the last time that the roads became white before the grass? Feels like a major snowstorm is just starting.

Went for a bike ride when the snow started, very cold and temp has dropped from 23 to 21 since snow had started. Snow is also starting to pick up in intensity.

First flakes 5 minutes south of Reston, 23 degrees out.

There are some monster hits in the EPS

Pictures?

Hard to believe in 24 hours it could be raining or sleeting instead of snowing but here we are.

DT's last call map. He is heading to an epic bust IMO.

Imagine cutting amounts by over half for MB compared to yesterday after the models didn't change that much today. LOL

GFS stalls and tucks next weeks storm off Virginia beach. #ThisisTheOne

The gulf is open for business.

And it's selling unseasonable warmth! 

Some of the more enthusiastic people here have mentioned thundersleet or thundersnow. Any chance that happens @psuhoffman or any other person who knows what they are doing?

But then everything goes wrong in a very rare combination. 

So in other words if any other the timing was different, slower or faster we would of done better? Was there any way this could have gone worse for us?

Why does everybody hate DT?   I remember some posts from a year or two back where he was going crazy and having a meltdown or something and he seems to be good at lashing out and blaming others for his own shortcomings.  But other than that is he ok?

He’s blaming the NWS for his failure. That is unacceptable, everyone knew his forecast was stupid and to save face he is blaming them. How is he not a loser?
