These upper level passes are the best.  Such a nice icing on the cake.

prob 8-9" here in upper NW.  hopefully we get 1-2 more!

Yeah I'm close to you and have a nice uniform snow depth of about 7 inches.  Prob got 8+ with compaction.

Newest HRRR has precip over dc until 3z, would be cool to pile this up for another 2-3 hours.  Also bumped qpf up a bit it’s catching on. 

Roads are a mess again here everything completely snow covered from the evening snow. 

Beautiful moderate to almost heavy snow under this dc metro band.  

Truly beautiful out.  Light to moderate snow 26F. 

Snow depth up to 7 inches, nice event. 

SN 26F roads all coated again 

It’s trying so hard!!! 

Enjoy your 4 hours more of snow folks 

Incoming band for NW DC, blossoming just west and moving in.

BTW Euro AI was swing a miss on the 12z run but not by much.

We should temper expectations about tonight. Models are depicting rapid deterioration after crossing the Apps. This could be the headfake they're depicting. 

Hope I'm wrong. I've been kind of looking forward to this the whole day. Would leave a little bit of a bad taste in my mouth for this to be pulled last minute after such a nice storm. 

I’m going to go ahead and not do that lol.  Gimme my 3-5 inches of backside fluff.

Perhaps expectedly, The projections for this back end snow keep steadily decreasing. Yesterday, at this time, we were talking about maybe picking up a couple more inches later afternoon until about 1 a.m. this morning. Now, we seem to be setting the bar at maybe 1 inch. 

Yeah but the radar is looking decent now for dc metro and we have until about 9 or 10 pm before it shuts off. 

Looks like a cohesive shield may be trying to form. hrrr doesn’t have any kind of cohesive shield until 7 for dc.  Maybe we can score a coup over the short range guidance which says we’re basically done. 

Nice fluffy stuff here, good ratio.  Hopefully we can pile this up all afternoon and evening.

Nice, a little southern arm of that band is about to go over me...

 

Yep, right on schedule, some light snow resumed. Moderate size flakes

Yeah this is nice.  Bulging a little bit to the SW I like the look of the radar.  This might have some staying power.

You can see the mason dixon line band and the skinny moco band starting to merge a bit.  Maybe a larger more coherent precip shield forming over maryland?

So what's going on now?  Radar is filling in along the mason dixon line and that band just north of DC.  HRRR doesn't have either of those.

EPS is like the op, too progressive for a hit.  

Euro is not far from a phase.  We have time to reel this one in.

Upper level stuff looking more vigorous on radar than the HRRR is giving it credit for.  Maybe this part has a bit more upside.

I like where we are for this one, always prefer misses to the south at this range than miller B bombs that only hit New England.  

Hanging on to light snow in the dry slot.  Beautiful here. 

Rippage around dc.  Good flake size.
