IUsedToHateCold

I’m expecting flakes but too warm temperatures for any meaningful stickage.

Yeah it's nearly impossible to eradicate all the small areas where water sits in that setting. If you want to try to in your yard, other than the dunkers, this is the pro stuff-

Thanks. I’ll give this a shot

The source for me is almost completely on the back side of my property, and is maybe an acre of area at its most expansive, so as long as I do the work in early Spring, I can pretty much mitigate an awful summer of skeeters. It usually dries up by early summer.  Last year I did get the late summer tiger bastards, but that was a function of the incredible above normal wet period we had east of I-95.

Those tiger mosquitos are awful, and totally unavoidable in a suburban neighborhood like mine. We literally don’t go outside in our yard in the summer and they still follow us the house 

Looks like Andrews  AFB has gone straight to summer

Not happening.  If we had a good H5 vortex passage it would work, but we don't, so the only decent vertical motion will be with convection offshore.

This is the type of stuff I wish I understood about weather, but don't.

0z NAM showed the possibility of a sliver of precip making it up here by morning, but I'm not counting on it. 

Still mostly sleet here. Interesting that there is snow to my east 

If I had to forecast this storm, this is what I would go with

I'll stick with the safe forecast - something may or may not fall out of the sky in the next few days. 

Obs? Sun and cold. Should drop below freezing pretty quick. 

Radar? Looks like there is precip in western TN, so nothing is getting here too quick. NAM says start time tomorrow morning. I'll believe that.

God I wish I could block people!

Uhh - you can? There is an ignored users feature. 

Thanks reaper! I feel free now.

Imagine my disappointment to wake up and see a storm thread. I’m so jaded already. Whatever that ledge thing is I’ve already jumped.

I know you all aren't declaring victory 72 hours in advance.

Lol. I'm looking forward to another half inch of sleet with some pity snow thrown in.

It’s interesting how these crazy cold shots come down so far south in the middle of the country. I would think that the Gulf of Mexico would help moderate temps in places like Houston, but apparently not or not always? 

I read recently that in 1895 there was snow as far south as Tampico, MX. 

Seems like the Atlantic (or maybe our longitude) is our worst enemy here in the mid Atlantic 

That cold shot is insane. It's 14 degrees with light snow in Memphis TN right now. My yard hasn't been that low this year, and I'm pretty sure hasn't been that low in at least a few years. 

I’ve got the snow pellets and sleet now-it appears to be moving east.

100 percent sleet now. Everything nicely coated in ice

10 miles west of you is looking legit. 

I will second this. Trees and bushes with a noticeable glaze here and one inch icicles hanging from my deck furniture. Coming down light to moderate 

If this qpf keeps up they are going to need an ISW here. Looks glazed out and freezing rain coming down moderately. 

Like the others I have light freezing rain. Radar looks good. Since it’s not snow I expect to get deathbanded in this event

Wow Houston Texas forecast low of 12 degrees Sunday night with a storm watch out.  That’s gonna blow our seasonal lowest temp away.  SMH. 

Yup, and RIC has more snow than me this year. Hell, some places in Texas probably have more snow than me too. If this keeps up I'm going to just go ahead and plant some palmetto trees in my yard. If we can't have winter, might as well pretend to be tropical.

We are talking about this? #DesparateTimes

I was in that band and saw nothing, FWIW. 

Somewhere around an inch here. Light snow. Edit-closest to .75

All snow now after a period of 100% heavy pingers and a mix.

My buddy just said it’s snowing good in Crofton. Line has to be real close to you. 

Pingers picking up in intensity. It won’t be long I hope

Bowie looks to be getting cut in half by the rain/snow line. Sounds like places just NW of that line are getting crushed. 

Lol at this map. Definitely no snow here. I’m getting more sleet now though, cc line has sunk a bit
