  1. Wow…only 16 in nearly 75 years during the coldest month of the year? Definitely less than I expected. I’d be curious how many some of the suburbs like Germantown to Columbia have had. Undoubtedly, a significant difference once you get 10-15 minutes west of the fall line.
  2. GFS lost the January 3rd system and looks more like the Euro now. We'll see how things pan out thereafter. Might take a few a days to reload the pattern after this next mild stretch, which lines up with the current ensembles and trough-y look by January 8ish.
  3. Whatever happens, it does look like a mild stretch leading into the pattern change…and I’m all in on it.
  4. Looks like a dusting here. Precip mostly skipped over.
  5. All the ops are good for at this range is to see “if” a pattern “could” support a storm. That’s about all I get from it.
  6. Would be nice if this was snow instead of ice...it's a thick cold out there rn.
  7. Definitely a bite in the air today.
  8. I recommend not looking at the 6z gfs. 12z is more important.
  9. Fantasy range, chaos and string theory aside, I thought the 0z euro and gfs Ops were starting to show hints of an ideal pattern in early Jan.
  10. An ideal winter are light events in December and March with a MECS+ and 2 SECS, in any order, in January/February.
  11. Kind of a nice day overall...wasn't as cloudy as I expected it to be post-storm/CAA. Had periodic sun throughout the day here.
  12. That's ok...daytime snow is where it's at.
  13. And no blade shall be visible. LIght snow is acceptable in December. In January, we up the ante.
  14. Today’s 12z run is gonna be the most important run since the winter solstice.
  15. We're generally much better at precip than cold. DCA averages over 8 inches of precip in the winter...if we had the temps on our side, we might actually get bored of snow lol.
  16. Breaks in the clouds down in Central VA, so it's real real lol. Pivot might keep areas north/east socked into clouds, though. https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/sector_band.php?sat=G16&sector=ne&band=02&length=12
  17. This would be my 4th snow event this winter. We might be teeing up for a January MECS at this point.
  18. lol, can’t believe it’s raining in some parts of dc. Would have expected snow from this batch. Still managing flakes up here..:though it’s now just flurries.
  19. Actually a very healthy flake size. Struggling to accumulate, but jeep soft tops, etc. are caving a bit. Too bad it's not lasting longer.
  20. Yea, it's a steady snow here with respectable dendrites.
  21. Snow shower on my doorstep. Looking foggy to the west.
