Ripping snow at 117 at DCA and north

Over ORF at 114

995 in SW WV at 111

Probably going to be wrong, so hopefully I will be corrected if so, but I don't think we like what h5 showed at 240 Ridge is not where we want it out west, in fact, it seems to be on top of the system. There's a strong s/w crashing into CA, which is lowering the heights and pushing our ridge into the Plains instead of the Rockies where we want it.

Wasn't there a storm recently like this? Like in the past 10 years or so? Maybe 15? Not the insane amounts... but it crushed RAH to around RIC... EZF got a few inches... but once you got near DCA it was green grass. I'm not sure if it was because of blocking... but I distinctly remember traveling up i95 and having to stop overnight in NC because the roads were so bad

I always thought you were a great met... hopefully you'll be back under a new name soon

Looks like around 55% of the 12z GEFS members gave 2" or more snow at DCA

What do you mean? The column is on the left side

This is what the PW sounding at DCA has

7:27pm: Milwaukee is also acquiring a Competitive Balance Round A draft choice, reports Mark Feinsand of MLB.com (X link).

Seriously? The Commanders new head coach is Quinn, former Cowboys DC https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39435992/sources-commanders-hire-cowboys-dc-dan-quinn-new-coach

You could tell by 144

H5 is further south at 174 due to what's going on in the NE on 00z compared to 18z

Updated LWX AFD Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 1007 AM EST Fri Jan 19 2024 .SYNOPSIS... A low pressure system will move by to the south today and bring snowfall to the region today and tonight. Arctic high pressure will build in the wake of the low this weekend. This high pressure will then settle south of the area early next week. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Snow continues across the region as the area resides in the left exit region of an H5 jet streak. SLRs were above climo with the snowfall thus far today (generally 13-18:1 with highest in the mtns and along the Mason-Dixon). Expected light to briefly moderate snow to continue through the afternoon for most north of US-50/I-66. The moderate snow will occur wherever brief CSI bands develop. Locally at our office, we had nice dendrites in the predawn before briefly tapering to more plate like structure. As the better jet support has started to move into the region, we have transitioned back to dendrites. Otherwise, the focus will be on streamers (snow showers) this evening that can produce a coating to an inch across the northern half of the CWA. The Allegheny mountains are in for a life-threatening Winter Storm with a wind blown 6-12" of snow and dangerously cold wind chills starting tonight into Saturday. Blowing and drifting snow will be a serious concern.
