Just got to Deep Creek. Measured 15-26” OTG in various spots. It was pretty amazing driving on 270 and seeing the coating (barely) at the spur to legit winter wonderland a few miles north.
The story of the winter has been the boundary/surface temps in DC. Even a few days ago, we were supposed to be in the 20s with snow falling. I'm still at 33 degrees with white rain.
I'd be skeptical of the upcoming "historic ice storm" since I would lean towards another bust on temps. DC should easily be at climo by now with the events we've had -- the temps just have been terrible.
Should have headed to Deep Creek today instead of tomorrow afternoon. Upgraded to a warning for 4-8”. Currently light snow there on my Ring cameras.
Currently 42 here in Arlington.
Stop being so rational. That ends as soon as you click into the Mid Atlantic forum...its sort of like Vegas where once you step off the plane, you're in an alternate world. Just like here.
LWX going 1-3” here looks good. Between sleet, surface temps at start, and not ideal dendrite growth, I don’t see us getting more than that here. Hopefully it looks pretty outside...thats my bar.
