There is a potential for hazardous commuting conditions for this afternoon and evening commute. A period of snow is POSSIBLE (a 30 to 50 percent chance) this afternoon and evening across the Baltimore and Washington metro areas with up to a half inch of accumulation on area roads. If this threat does materialize this afternoon and evening rush- hour, many roads could quickly turn snow covered. This could lead to dangerous traveling conditions on untreated surfaces. If commuting this afternoon and evening, be aware of the POSSIBILITY of travel disruptions. Plan ahead by allowing for extra travel time. Stay tuned for updates on this potential winter weather episode.

Seems like all guidance now keying in on Tue morning being the coldest of the season so far with below 0 WCs. Some schools in the area are off tue for semester break, but for those that are open, I could see delayed starts. That’s how we roll nowadays.

In the long range, gfs and euro op are now a bit closer wrt keeping that SER at bay. Euro showing a more pronounced cold push, but no extended AN temps on either op run right now.

6z gfs starting next Thursday night.

Your mom wouldn’t approve of this language.

Im just passing on what Randy told me. Take it up with management.

If this fails, PA posters are forever banned from this sub forum.

Tuesday looks pleasant on the euro. Shirtless run after work?

Aside from a brief warm up on Saturday, it should be a good holiday ski weekend in the apps. This is through Friday.

6z gfs

Are we sure that’s still the NWS line for weather?

Down to 32 off a high of 47.

Gotta say….the control freak part is on point, but nothing will change. This has been allowed to happen for a few years now.

Down to 28 off a high of 41. Heading for the upper teens.

It’s been a weird winter in spots of Alaska. Parts of anchorage have a measly 1” or less snow depth right now. A big difference from recent winters.

Yeah, euro threw out some dumb cold.

Very good. Dark, hint of vanilla and bourbon.

This is normal shoveling behavior for most of us, I’m sure lol.

The ski areas are on a heater right now. Been a bit since conditions were this optimal. Canaan has reported accumulating snow every day so far this month and is now up to 44.4” on the month and a season total of 91.9”. With more upslope coming this week with the passing of the front, pretty good chance they hit 100” before next weekend.

Based on reports, I’d say guidance handled this one well.

1/11/25: 1.25” Season total: 9.25”

1.25” and slept through it all.
