Now the question is how low can we get the temps tonight. Hrrr, GFS, and euro suggest widespread teens for snow covered places. GFS even single digits for VA and southern MD. NAM is much warmer for some reason.
There was plenty of reason to be cautious with the strong gradient and to be skeptical of the loltastic 10-18” Kuchera amounts. But widespread warning criteria snow was not a surprise.
I know it’s not that cold, but damn is it nice to have FALLING temperatures during a storm instead of anxiously watching temps tick up to freezing or above.
Confluence between dry air and moist is doing work. Can see the radar returns brightening between DC and the edge. And it's noticeable outside my window.
