Man this is this fastest moving thread for scattered flurries in history 

We are so back 

https://x.com/capitalweather/status/1891871907869274502?s=46

On the bright side at least it didn’t trend NW and leave us with a cold rain

If this storm indeed comes back it will be the most epic forecasting weekend of all time 

When I was in second grade (maybe 1997?)  I had my birthday party at WBAL when Justin Berk worked there and it was so cool for a little weather nerd like me (he even put me on the weather broadcast) so I still love Justin Berk’s posts, even when they’re obviously wishcasting

Haven’t seen enough blame here thrown at Jim Cantore for announcing he’s coming to DC for this one

Another similar setup that failed to produce was 3/24/06. You can see we had a closed 500mb low in the perfect spot but the confluence was too strong. Don't remember any snow from that setup. Maybe a couple inches in nc/va?

If this is the one I’m thinking of, models also trended SE ~3 days out…. 

Seems like chances keep increasing for this to develop similar to the PD 03 setup, but temps may be less of an issue?  

EPS keeping the party going 

I stepped away for an hour for a work thing and it appears I missed something

does anyone know how much snow Georgetown will get?

Presumably lwx goes WSW for Baltimore south and WWA for the northern counties later?  Pretty borderline in most places…

A WSW for 2-4 inches?

I’m heading to Florida on Thursday for family and JetBlue has informed me of a “travel advisory” because of “winter storm Cora” in the southern plains allows me to change my flight for free.

Did not realize DCA was now in the southern plains

I don't care how unpopular or stupid taking over Greenland would be. I want cheap visa free flights to an ice cap and I don't care how we go about getting them

I’ve actually always wanted to go there lol

How do we make a January 20th blizzard happen?  If DC looks like Greenland and/or Canada, maybe we’re less likely to get weird with them  (among other reasons)

Lmao at them Tweeting this.  Insane thing to write outside of this message board.

And DC public schools are closed tomorrow.  No surprise there

Real talk, is round 2 off the table east of the mountains and north of 70? (Technically I’m east of the terminus but still located to its north)

Why would it be off the table?

Is there a chance this could be a one and done season and today’s snow is all there will be?

Always a chance, but no big warm up coming over the next couple of weeks, so statistically should be at least another  chance or two while it’s cold at least

Anyone ready to give odds on area schools opening tomorrow?

The public schools will be closed.  Two hour delay Wednesday for fun.  

Moderate snow in Takoma Park

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?

We need that sweet MoCo band to come like a tiny jog south lol 

Jasper is really hoping the coastal adds some more, but said he’s pretty happy with how things turned out regardless 

Picked up very nicely in Takoma Park, moderate to heavy, although starting to slow down now (was outside for it).  Prior shoveling hard to find again.  Guessing around 5.5” but need to go measure again
