    I got 3.5" out of that during my son's birthday party. Was expecting a dusting and got ice cold wind-whipped powder.

    Kill this storm and all in on Saturday. #Euro #RetakeTheThrone

    It was horrific

    I think he means "initialization" instead of "innovation"? And that would impact would already be past. It wouldn't impact anything going forward.

    It is a bit weird. Euro inside D5? That used to be cash money. Hopefully still is? But can't deny the GFS has been doing very well this month. GGEM and crazy uncle Ukie have been all over the place.

    I haven't looked close enough to figure out the connection, but my instinct is that it's not a coincidence that the Euro is a whiff for Thursday and a big hit for Saturday. The other operational are showing more of a wave Thursday and then have little to nothing for Saturday. Maybe the lack of a Thursday wave keeps the baroclinic zone in a more favorable position to interact with the shortwave for Saturday?

    1/16-17: 2.8" Season to date: 13.6"

    GEFS was terrible for this weekend. Doesn’t mean it will be for next weekend.
  9. WxUSAF
    Yes, and EPS resolution is still very high relative to other global operational models and especially other ensemble systems.

    I still have some slush under the fresh snow, at least in most spots.

    Temp almost reached 43F overnight. 33 now. Healthy fresh dusting on all surfaces. I didn’t clean my snowboard last evening so can’t take an official measurement, but think 0.2” of fresh snow after a patio table measurement.

    Yes. It’s total accumulation, not snow depth. That’s tracked independently. So DCA, for example, is up to 12.2” for the season I think.

    Looks like the rain lasts 3-4 hours? But damn, looks like a firehose.
  15. WxUSAF
    2” at BWI and 2.6” at DCA. Not sure about IAD or RIC.
  16. WxUSAF
    Yes

    My PWS says 32. Neighbor has 31. Radar is showing the dry slot, but we have a bunch of rain first.

    Questions now: how much snowpack survives the night? How warm does it get? Can we tack on any more tomorrow morning? 18z 3k NAM was bullish on snow tomorrow AM.

    2.6” will be the total for today. -FZRA and a few pingers now. Snow already getting crunchy and a little compacted.
  21. WxUSAF
    Yup, as expected
  22. WxUSAF
    2.6” now. Changeover is imminent. Very icy rimed flakes.
  23. WxUSAF
    Matches my measurement well. Going to measure again when we start to mix.
  24. WxUSAF
    Back home and 2.4” on the snowboard. Absolutely pounding right now. The drive home from our friends house was dicey. All that pretreatment didn’t seem to do much.
  25. WxUSAF
    Still small flakes in Columbia but snowing more heavily
