Snow mixing in/out with sleet in Arlington.  

Pingers against my office windows in Rosslyn.  

My neighbor measured over an 1" at home.  

I can't even see Georgetown from my office in Rosslyn.  

Eff it. I’m going 100” at dca for the contest. Heh 

@WxUSAF hrrr scoring a coup. 

Even 395 caved. 

Boom scenario here for sure. SN+. Even King St/7 is covered. 

My street caved...didn’t expect that. 

Fatties/SN.

If it’s snowing in DC when I get there, I’ll consider the walk to work in the flakes to be a huge win.

Yep, this already my met expectations/win. Just got to walk the dogs in snow/sleet in mid November.  Can’t ask for more this time of year. 

Snow/sleet mix. Coating the car already and mulch/leaves. 

It’ll be interesting to see who goes off the deep end today for a winter storm in mid November. Good early test for people’s sanity but I have my guesses already...

38/22.  Temp and DP slowly dropping.  Nice.

Add RGEM to the trending a touch colder list too.  Rain/Frozen radar is a little suspect given the 850s but snowfall (lol) cutoff pushed SE.  

39/23.  DP keeps ticking down.  

1z HRRR 0.6”+ in DC before the flip to rain (between 1-2p).  Please oh please let the HRRR be a reliable short term model this season.

40/24.  Haven’t budged below 40.

Impressive, you’ll do well out there.  Enjoy it. 

Enjoying a Pinot Noir tonight, watching the game, and nowcasting.  Winter’s back...after a multiple year hiatus...

HRRR drops 0.6” QPF in DC as snow/sleet.  Would love to believe that...

Yea man, getting interesting for us burb folks. If it's below freezing at onset and ptype stays snow until noon or later it would be pretty incredible. Sleet likes to sneak in quicker than guidance with WWA precip so I'll remain skeptical. 

Pretty remarkable given the time of year and our average high.  I wasn’t even expecting any snow for the Beltway and was hoping for an hour of frozen before rain.  Latest guidance is suggesting 5-6 hours of frozen is certainly possible.  Imagine if that happens and we score a snow squall as the ULL passes by.  #housemoney

Interestingly enough the HRRR and 18z Euro have very similar flip times (18z) for DC.  Not hating the short term guidance as we near start time.

@frd Split stream looks so good in that picture.

The snow map looks better. That's about all I can say from my phone. I95 amounts up by an inch. The 2" line went from just SE of 95 to Waldorf-Annap. 

Definitely better than 12z especially along 95 — less pronounced differences for the favorable areas.  Delays the flip to plain rain in DC to 18z (vs 16z at 12z’s run).  Surface is a touch colder too.

Dare I say it feels like snow outside.

Yeah I really love the place. Only complaint I got- they don't open when there is a blizzard.

Blasphemy.
