If the temperature ever reaches -6 degrees in Bowie, MD I will buy every member of this subforum a beer. I’m not joking.

I can come back to this thread after a few days, see the number of posts by Ji, and instantly know things aren’t going well Here’s to hoping it turns around soon.

There are open rooms in the Panic Room. Hope to see you there…. Soon

This says there is a Jan 2016 repeat + another MECS on top of that. Lol.

Just looked… that’s going to make some people happy

Unreal.

6 degrees for the low. Now up to 14.

9 degrees in Bowie! Walk earlier was fantastic

11 here in Bowie.

Once temps drop into the mid 20s any wet roads will start to freeze. Still looking pretty wet out there at 30 degrees

32 and mood flakes. Flash freeze is almost certainly going to be an issue around here. We dropped 13 degrees in less than 90 minutes

Finally changed to snow!

The DC hole is real

Definitely getting the graupel mix in the heavy band now

Sun peaking through to the east as the line approaches. Surreal.

The big slug of precip is approaching 95. Assuming that’s where the front is.

44 and rain, eying the front to the west

Anything that sticks won't melt, but the moment the precip changes to snow won't be the moment it starts sticking. Temperature will be dropping rapidly for sure, but the ground needs to get cold enough and that will take some time. Without some sustained precip behind the front we get zero accumulations. Northern locations probably do get some accumulations because they are going to get more precip per the models. For us down by DC it's not looking great - perhaps a burst changeover to snow and then that's a wrap. Things could change, but it doesn't look great.

Yeah it's going to melt though. Will be pretty to watch briefly.

Really need what the GFS was spitting out a couple of days ago for my location (a nice straight wall of precip on a N/S axis). This just looks too dried up. Other models are even drier. At this point I'd take .25 of accumulation, but even that is probably not happening. Sigh.

Up to 52. Hoping to stay dry slotted so I can take a walk later

49 degrees. We torchin' I'd love to take a walk if it's warm out later and there's no rain, but knowing our luck the rain will pivot and we'll get it straight through.

44 degrees. Warming up fast. Makes running boxes out to the recycling bin a bit more pleasant.

Awesome! Should be a blast then. Have fun!

PHL is 50 miles north of Baltimore and that can make a difference in snowstorms. I would say it's similar, yeah, but not the same. The argument is largely semantic though, arguably no two places have the same climate. I just can't stand to say that they are the same when they get snowstorms that we don't.
