    This is kind of a garbage post. You're not considering or analyzing the synoptic evolution or antecedent airmass. You're just saying "we always fail". I've lived in the DC area since 2009 and there have been quite a few good storms that don't fit your narrative.
  2. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    Hmmm, of course that outcome is possible, but I don't necessarily agree. Starting out in the 20s is a decent recipe for some front end accumulations. Of course, the models could all change and we could start out at 35 and fail miserably, but if the models hold the look they have now I'd expect at least some accumulations.

    Yeah, it's awesome. It's amazing that Houston Texas will maybe have a lower lowest temp this winter than DC, Philly, and NYC.

    Our pathetic winter continues up here in the DC area, but I am excited to see this historic storm in Texas!!! Austin getting 3-5 inches of snow, going into the single digits two nights in a row, that’s so absurd.
  5. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    Has anyone been keeping tabs on how it ended up doing with the last few storms?
  6. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    Looks like we hang on to the surface for almost the duration. Snow --> ice --> dryslot.
  7. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    Euro at 96 is a nice looking panel....snow for all.
  8. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    An inch of QPF on the Euro for Tuesday. That plus the ice melt is gonna make for some soggy ground.

    Wow my road is a sheet of ice, I went to the top of our little hill and took a running start and I slid like a solid 10 feet or more on my boots lol. Driving has gotta be super treacherous right now.
  10. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    Very solid ice event. Probably the best I’ve experienced in this area (been here since 2009). As others have noted if this occurred overnight, or perhaps earlier in the winter with weaker sun, it would’ve been better, but still nice for this region.
  11. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    Yeah I was hoping for some straight old fashioned drizzle, the kind that doesn’t even show up radar.
  12. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    I was hoping for some drizzle/mist to cap this off but doesn’t appear to be happening tonight.
  13. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    That is such an amazing thing given how outrageously large the state of Texas is.
  14. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    Looks about done, sprinkles now. Beautiful scene outside with all the icicles and what not. Maybe we can get some drizzle in later with easterly flow.
  15. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    HRDPS keeps showery/light precip going overnight.

    Brother in law almost slid his car off the road into Sligo creek. I think now is the time to stay off the roads lol.
  17. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    Changed over to snow now. Very interesting weather day.
  18. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    My road is finally starting to ice up. The higher proportion of sleet in the mix the last hour or so has allowed a tiny base of ice to build up on it. It’s about an hour or two away from being really treacherous driving if this keeps up.
  19. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    Pine tree branches really starting to bend here.
  20. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    Yeah there really does seem in be incredible local variation with this one. I'm looking at my trees all becoming encased in ice and hearing that just up the road in silver spring there is no accretion on trees. Pretty interesting stuff.
  21. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    Interesting, I’m right down the road in Takoma park and everything is icing up very nicely. Are you near downtown silver spring?
  22. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    18z HRRR has precip until 00z-01z with about .15-.2 left for DC. Temps cooling a couple of degrees too.
  23. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    Love the ice palace look that’s taking shape. The neighbors wire deer fence is perfect little tubes of ice now.
  24. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    Everything is starting to become properly encased in ice. Roads still wet but everything on the north facing side of my house is really iced up good. It would be cool to keep it going until after dark.
  25. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    I've never given it any thought until this moment. If that's the case it would be more like 1/16 of an inch I guess.
