Even though the event itself was minor, the insanity of it definitely upgraded this winter in my books to an A- for the Northern Neck

More rare than the oft referenced biblical snow.

DCA was 75 at 5am lol

Yea, that was what I was alluding too.  That record should have been crushed which it appears it was.

If you're curious, the highest temperature DCA ever recorded the day before accumulating snow prior to today was 74 degrees on 4/7/72.

If DCA recorded more than a trace, it would obliterate the record. 

How about the day of recorded snow re: 12:01 this AM. 

Ripping fatties at the same time UVA is playing an ACC Tourney game.   Spring takes a back seat. 

Back to rain in Penn Mar with a temp of 34.   Intensity driven at this point.  Some times it tails off to almost nothing.

All geared up for our grand finale snowstorm this afternoon. LFG!!

Lt to Mod snow and 33 in Pen Mar

85 in Pen Mar.  Grass will need mowed in a week or so.

About 1/4" on non road surfaces in Pen Mar now. 

67 in Pen-mar.  66 in Boonesboro (car therm) an hour ago.

Yes I discovered it’s getting warmer. Right after Al Gore invented the internet.

About 2 hours of snow here.  Covered mulch and roads up higher were starting to cave.  It has passed now. 

Light snow in Pen-Mar and 36

I agree, until it comes north/amps more at 18z... 

As the author, we understand your pumping the storm! :-)

Nada from the RGEM and ICON. Hires window mesos technically had some digital blue but essentially a miss, not that they are of much value. Onto the GFS to see if it gives up on this POS

Most important run of the GFS...in the history of this thread.

I said it after the first failed threat in December, we need all models on board if we expect to score. I should have stuck with that premise over the weekend but put my chips on the failed, overperformer modeling. Oh well, just another live and never learn in the wacky, weenie world of snowpium.

As for next week, I haven't even looked at it, taking the one threat/failure at a time approach. One thing is for sure, not saying they will be right, but all modeling ends winter after next week. So if it's going to happen, next week is it.

I would unfortunately agree, at least as it pertains to wintery precip. 

Some fairly rare NE to SW upslope action in Pen-Mar this AM.   Putting down a fresh coating.

To be fair, that one has some legs and I’d exchange one for the other…weekend rule ish? Late Sunday?

And I was not being cocky, just trying to save your drivership if this one does not work out.

Don’t worry after 12z we’ll delete this thread. But then the storm will probably reappear with 1-3” over us on 18z runs. To think some had 4-6” totals when this thing was opened. 

Or convert it to follow the fairly significant threat 6 days out.

Also @Bubbler86 it is a pretty potent little wave, models have beefed up on qpf since a day or two ago. Just need to be on the right side of trends inside d3… oh great 

The GFS depiction would really cause some stir in the areas that got it good last night.  Two moderate snows in a week.

Pretty poor performance for the NAM this weekend, tho no model did that great. RGEM was off by a foot for most people northeast of us.  

Speaking of the RGEM, it came well south with the Thursday SLP placement from the 0Z GGEM.

Not snowing here either.  About 5" as well.   Only about 1-1.5 on the road. 

Moderate snow now.  Covering the driveway again.

Snowing nice here right now under lighter returns, I get it haha. @Bubbler86 wonder whats been going on up in BLS/Pen Mar? They've been under a band for hours. 

I will not get up there this Am but not snowing 1/2 down from Pen Mar despite the radar.
