87storms

Walking south towards Columbia Mall for lunch was easier than walking north into the wind, I'll tell you that much.

Regardless of whether it snows in the next week or two, local ponds/lakes are getting icy. I’m assuming creeks and rivers are gonna start getting icy as well. Snow on ice on water soon?

The potential hecs pattern by the following weekend looks more interesting anyway.

Stat padder incoming

Yea, big league Santa Ana event ongoing.

What’s interesting on the gfs is how similar it is to 3 days ago before the trough started going more neutral/negative.

I feel like this next system could still make a sneaky shift north.

Friday's squall'y day is underrated. I actually think that was more exciting weather-wise than yesterday lol, at least up here where I received about 0.5" after 8am.

Probably already said here, but the Euro/GFS/CMC don't seem too far off with the southern stream. It's the northern piece that's squashing things. Not sure what would make that better aside from timing.

Now that we have the cold, all we need is our year-round, every 4-5 days (on average) precip event.

Can see the sharp cutoff of snow in far southern Va on satellite: https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/sector_band.php?sat=G16&sector=ne&band=GEOCOLOR&length=12

lol, one of the great sports movies. I actually saw this in the theater. "Well you may run like Mays, but you hit like shit."

We might live too far north for snow anymore.

Yea I don’t think there was anything, but snow here as well.

I can't say I love seeing a GL low, but I guess if it's cold, it's cold.

There must have been a lot of compaction throughout the event because I 100% measured 3" in multiple spots yesterday morning and hardly received anything thereafter.

The post-storm withdrawal always sucks. I advise everyone to avoid looking at the models today. See you at 12z.

Welp, we got our one week of winter...how's spring training looking?

Looks like only a coating was added from the ull imby near DT Frederick. Basically 3" and some change, so i was a little surprised by some of the measurements closer to 5" coming out of Frederick County. This can be sugarcoated, but it was a bit of a bust up here. Could barely even see the flakes during the overnight period and hardly snowed during the day lol. With that said, there was a pleasant, effortlessness to this snow. Once it started, it required no work. I just woke up yesterday to snow, and I was able to get in a nice walk (during one of the times there was clearly still light snow falling). Felt very wintry even with 3" and, honestly, there's something to be said about the roads being already cleared (or so it seems).

Getting foggy again over towards Gambrill with flurries reappearing here.

I’m getting hyped about the snow on snow next Saturday.

Radar is looking prettier lately.

Moving from Frederick to Edgewater and getting double the amount of snow is looking like a power move lol.

Also seems like this system peaked out west, or certainly wasn't strengthening much upon approach. Would be nice to get a system that forms in the TN Valley and beelines to the mid-Atlantic.

Yea, I saw that part and got hyped lol, but I was mostly looking at the precip amounts and Euro still seemed farther south with the 0.5" line than the GFS/Nam. Agree with the rest.
