Let’s just lock in the FV3 solution exactly as “modeled” and call it a day 

Moderate snow in downtown DC (foggy bottom). Changed over in last 5 minutes.

I'd have to think about a jacket.....

Girlfriend is in Madison for the winter.  Honestly considered going over there for the cold snap, don't know when I'll ever experience something like that.

We’re back in business

>1.25" accumulation (measured about 10 pm), 27F and snowing at a good rate.  Just inside the Baltimore city line near Greenspring Ave. 

Lol my parents and siblings live within a block of here. Always can tell what’s city and county based on how cleaned up the roads are after snow  

I have a tendency to randomly miss out on the best snows of the season because of previously planned travel. Rough streak. 

Anyway I’m traveling to San Francisco Jan. 10-15, booked in October and thought “watch I’ll miss the best DC storm of the year.” Enjoy, lol

Just saw a random flurry or two.  9 days of tracking worth it!

The reason I need to see something is all this tracking 

Going to be a high hour tracking per flake  seen ratio 

Hey on radar it looks like a couple flurries might have reached the tip of SE DC. We did it!!!

Not that it wasn’t expected, but still pretty in awe of this cutoff. Can jump in a car and drive ten fifteen minutes to see flurries, twenty minutes to see a coating, thirty minutes and see an inch of two (and within a bit more a nice snowstorm). 

I have a buddy in Charlottesville I've been meaning to visit... today seems like a good day

Not that it really matters, but interesting that Taunton's update to the Blizzard Warning has Boston at 1-2 feet+, while NYC east back up to 20-30 inches+. 

Incredible discussion though. Just incredible. 

Someone in the triangle between Boston Worcester and Prov is going to exceed three feet. Unreal.

Travel ban issued by Baker, starting at midnight

Out of curiosity, why does the deformation band often set up in central/potentially western as opposed to eastern mass? Been pretty surprised by the relative model consistency on this.

Don't think I've ever seen output like that for a storm 18 hours out from a major model. Insane for NJ North.

We sure the NAM initialized correctly? Lol at 50.8 inches over LI, quite the deformation here

If this thing jogs east, NYC thread is going to be a sad, sad place

Euro initialized, here we go

Really want to wait up for the Euro. Really should sleep. Law school semester starts again tomorrow, and tomorrow night is not going to be a sleep night.

Don't understand how this is west at all, looks slightly east and maybe even slightly more amped, going to be a good run here

Anyone have the discussion post-storm 1 when LWX realized another one was on the way?
