yea, those big southern lows need to go somewhere. blocking/ns influence is probably the main drivers of where those systems end up.
-
it would be a lot lol. with that said, usually want the 500 low under us. too many details this far out.
-
i think that had like 5+ lead time, similar to 2016. '16 might have been a little more locked in (i think we were waiting for the euro to get on board the weekend prior). i could be wrong, though. pd2 was pretty solid at 4-5 days as well.
-
looks like next sunday is worth monitoring, too. right now, it looks like a northern stream dominant system, but the gulf is open with some southern stream energy somewhere in the south lol. that solution might waver over the next couple days, i'm assuming.
-
Seems like we’re experiencing the difference between a La Niña and a well timed La Niña (mjo, etc). It’s 100 hrs further out than I’d like, but the ideas are showing up as a first step.
-
That and George Michael’s sports machine were in my 80s/90s rotation.

26/14 (from a nearby station)
-
looks like the southern stream gets involved again by mid-month on both the gfs and canadian. guess we need to see how dominant the northern stream is during that timeframe.
-
5.5" confirmed for the average here. measured in about 10 different spots. it's also cold...damn near got frostbite in the process. might take a lunchtime trip to downtown frederick to see how things look.
-
lol yea i'm just playin', but we're a fringe enough snowtown that we can meet average in any winter.
-
la nina's are awesome.
-
snagged between 5.5-6" here (measured on my jeep's hood). after my meeting (man's gotta eat) i'll probably take a neighborhood stroll and take a few more measurements.
-
Yea only downside. Maybe i95 will do better with the coastal portion. I think 4-6” is within reach up here assuming the next band holds.
-
I wasn’t kidding earlier about the radar looking good for dc. Overperformer in Frederick so far. All it takes is a couple hours of rates.
-
It’s a snow globe outside. Probably around 2” and sticking on all surfaces.
-
Looks like a steady/moderate here now. Time to go for a little walk and investigate. Roads are caving
-
Radar starting to look good for the dc crew
-
I’m eyeing it lol. Visibility has lowered to the west. Flake size is better than I expected…those who referenced the dendritic growth got that one right.
-
It’s legitimately snowing now.
-
Barely staying in the light snow band here but looks like better reflectivity pushing east. Hoping it makes it over the ridges and then I think it’ll be game on.
-
still light here, but more of a steady light now and sticking to the grass. road is still wet, though. i think that changes once the rates pick up a bit.
-
car topper has commenced here. still light, but a car topper.
-
light flurries have commenced in frederick (few miles nw of downtown).
-
Hagerstown is dominating so far. I did just drive through gambrill out of curiosity and saw some flakes near the top (1500’) before the band shifted further nw. Will check back in a few hrs. Expecting the bands to close in by then.
-
I think it’ll just take some time to rev up for <500 ft elevation (estimating). It’s still a bit dry out there.
