    Just pulled the snow shovel out, and you know what that means, that means nothing because jinxes aren't real.

    Glad this has evolved into much wider event! It was agonizing tracking a narrow band. It's fun seeing mby be in or near the jackpot. In honesty, and this is not a meteorological opinion, usually the highest totals will wind up at least a bit NW of here, even when we are favored, will not be surprised at all. Let's roll!!!

    Let me tell you about the $1500 snow blower I bought in mid Feb 2010 and never used until 2014!  Jinxes are real…and sometimes expensive!

    I feel I have seen this movie a hundred times since I moved here in 1998…these redevelopment clipper things work out about 1/20 times…the last to actually work I think was in 2014…though everything worked out that year.   If I was a betting man, which I am not, I would bet on snow north east along 95 from Baltimore, south of that nada….but F*ck it, we have been on a heater.  Snow from Fredericksburg northeast along 95, 15 miles either side, the more you go NE.

    Radar blowing up south of DC a bit, as well as those snow showers that have been north all night. Interesting 

    Doing something down here, at swim meet but my rain gauge detected something, rain rate says moderate and cameras are showing that it’s not fluffy flakes…maybe sleet is my guess or heavier freezing rain.  Will know in about an hour.

    I don't particularly like that hole of sub 2 inches near where I am but I will have faith that the HRRR is onto nothing (though honestly it sorta makes sense two have two maxes). 

    What you are seeing is the former Hoco/Westminister/Psu death band….now known as the Prince William/Springfield/Alexandria death band…at least for the last 4 years

    Seems we have seen this movie many times over the last few years with these weak systems.  They seem to trend a bit north as we get closer.  There isn’t a ton of upside, it’s not gonna magically juice up, best case is areas in the skunk zone get a coating and that 1-2 inch expands a bit.  Will be interesting to see if this scenario plays out again this time.  Maybe the models have been having trouble resolving the cold and dry air to the north at range, maybe a data sampling thing…maybe aliens.

    Dunno about snow outside the upslope areas, but next Monday-Tuesday looks legit cold right now. Highs in the 40s and lows AOB freezing for most outside the UHIs.  

    Guess it’s time to shut off the outside hose bibs, put the garden hoses away and 86 the remaining summer plants.  I can dig out the snow shovels too if anyone wants me to totally jinx winter…let me know.
