  1. Yes that’s what I believe. We just saw it happen in NE. Powder keg
  2. It will be. Can’t say when, but I have no doubt. The coastal storm tracks seem to be making a comeback. It’s like darts… throw enough of them and eventually you get a bullseye. And with more moisture/vapor in the air, oh man
  3. Yeah seems low to me. I was on the edge of that band or just outside of it and still managed to claw my way to 2.5”. Other Ashburn reports on LWX PNS confirm this as well with 2.8” readings. I would have thought IAD would be at 3” or even more. Maybe they just stuck a ruler on the pavement after all that compaction and melting.
  4. That little yellow band did wonders for that area. I was barely/briefly on the western edge of it
  5. Glad you’re out of the hospital and feeling better.
  6. Yeah, the differences between those under best banding and those in between were even more pronounced than usual in this storm due to marginal temps.
  7. A lot of people were asking me about the storm when we got the WSW of 5" or more. "Is it going to snow? Are we really getting 5 inches?" Even though I was more bullish on AMWX (a bit to my detriment haha), I was much more conservative in real life saying "maybe 3 inches if that, and I don't think the roads are gonna be that bad"
  8. Looks like the models were too far west with the qpf, meaning the SLP capture took a bit longer than originally thought. Those kinds of details are tough to nail down, as are meso banding structures.
  9. Flurries, maybe get a dusting out of this little random band?
  10. 12/5: 1.5” 12/14: 1.0” 1/1: 0.2” 1/17: 0.3” 1/25: 9.5” (5.5 sn 4.0 ip) 2/6: 0.3” 2/22: 2.5” Total: 15.3”
  11. I for one am happy to see the benchmark storm track alive and well. And it snowed and everything is white imby. No, we didn’t jack, but we can’t jack them all. We’ll definitely get ours sooner or later, I’m sure of it. And this nor’easter… ain’t she a beaut?! Gotta appreciate the raw power of this storm as a meteorologist.
  12. Based on radar trends I think I am done with heavy rates. Light wind-blown snows should continue at least a couple hours before tapering. Not sure how much that’ll add to my 2.5” total, maybe make a run for 3”
  13. Latest measurement 2.5”, with heavy compaction it’s a little over half that otg
  14. Mod snow and wind is picking up. Looks like the best rates is just east of me. Things must be insane at dulles town center. At least KIAD should pad its stats!
  15. Western norlun band is probably a mile to the east of me. Snowing but not heavily imby
  16. I asked my wife if its still snowing and she said no (I’m on baby duty rn). Maybe she just didn’t look carefully
  17. Before the flip to snow, I picked up 0.27” and now I have over 2”. Perhaps 5 degrees colder would have put me at 5”. But 2-3 degrees cooler? More blurry. Maybe 3-4” or something like that.
  18. It might extend north just west of the westiminster-hanover line, but iffy
  19. I think my wife might have something to say about that… but I appreciate the sentiment haha
  20. Yeah i think i’m just outside of the western edge, just hoping the back building from HGR keeps me going until midnight
  21. If you’re between the red lines, you’ll probably get the norlun jacks
