Transition to sleet just started here NW of Vienna. Still steady at 29F
-
Holding steady at 29F here just NW of Vienna with Sn/Sn+ approaching 1". Lawyers road caved an hour ago even though they covered in in brine yesterday. Traffic is crawling.
-
Down to 26F/24dp here just NW of Vienna. Normal for us to be cooler than the Tyson's UHI - just enough outside of that UHI to matter. Interesting how closely the frozen precip line on the HRR approximates the Fall Line, which was mentioned at several spots in the thread the last couple of days.
-
CWG is so anxious about tomorrow they published tomorrow morning's forecast a few mins ago and then retracted it as an inadvertent publication. Poor folks are probably feel the same desperation many of the rest of us are.
-
29F/23dp - just came in from outside. The air has a feeling to it... If sheer willpower could buy us the fix we all need, we'd be shoveling out of our second story windows Thursday morning.

38F / 23 dp here just NW of Vienna @ 375' ASL
-
NWS just moved the WSW boundary S &E by about one county along much of the previous cut-off from central VA up through MD
-
Latest from CWG - (regrets if someone already posted this - didn't see it) Pretty amazing "Boom" potentials. https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2020/12/14/dc-winter-storm/

Anyone have the soundings for DCA and IAD for noon ET Thursday? Curious how close it's going to be and comparing the two. Out of consideration for the MD/DEL folks maybe throw in BWI too.

The only thing missing is "Prompts the return of Bob Chill"
-
Notice the teens in upstate NY with purples in Quebec. That's some really cold stuff there and strong flow pumping it southward.
-
Isn't that what happened with the surprise storm in Nov of 87 here? Forecast was for a few flurries and a deformation band setup along a line from Mt. Vernon/Woodbridge up through Eastern FFCO and the eastern part of the beltway. The influx of cold air from a stronger than anticipated hp up over the GLs helped create the lift and the intense results caught everyone by surprise.

When Wes talks, people listen. Just like the old EF Hutton commercials for those of us old enough to remember them. Great to see you back with us sir!
-
That about says it all for our cursed affliction.
-
Would love it to sn+++ so much you have to close, disband and/or otherwise strategically detonate the PR for at least the rest of the 20/21 season and at the risk of being greedy next season too.

Stepped away for a while... Upon returning 4 hours later the message ticker said "125+ messages" Brings a smile and that special feeling we all get when "it's on!"

GOOD CHANCE OF 1ST LIGHT SNOW EVENT VA / nw NC/ MD DEL MONDAY DEC 7
RDM replied to DTWXRISK's topic in Mid Atlantic
Good to see you back Midlo. Hope you can get that snow machine going again soon in your back yard. Miss the depth reports. -
Wow. Going anywhere ivo of a faulty 7.2kV feeder in the rain is brave. Seen first hand what a faulty feeder on a 2.5MW generator can do and it ain't pretty.
-
rotflmao - that's good. It may be a good thing neither one of us is a carpenter!
-
Does that mean you've lobbed of 2 fingers and all your toes? I can still count to 21.
-
26 currently - got down to 25. A tad chilly out.
-
Dunno - our home is at 385' asl. Merrifield is around 400' (at the Metro). International Drive and 123 is the highest point in FFCO (520') other than the transfer station at 66 and FFCO Pky, which at 550' is the highest point in FFCO. Sad the highest point in FFCO is on top of a landfill.

It's snowing here just outside Vienna! Ahhhhhh.....
-
Great - I used to hang out in 7-Sp a lot years ago before settling down. Had a group of telemark friends that were a blast to hang out with in the Foggy Goggle. 20+ years later and an untold number of additional pounds and it would be ugly to hit the slopes again. Lots of good memories from up that way.

Take em to 7-Springs in PA. Only 3 hours and if anyone around here has snow, they do. Put the kids in a ski school and head to the back side and hit Giant Steps. Plenty of non-ski things to do for the kids in the lodge too.
