  1. Definitely a bite in the air today.
  2. I recommend not looking at the 6z gfs. 12z is more important.
  3. 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.
  4. An ideal winter are light events in December and March with a MECS+ and 2 SECS, in any order, in January/February.
  5. 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.
  6. That's ok...daytime snow is where it's at.
  7. And no blade shall be visible. LIght snow is acceptable in December. In January, we up the ante.
  8. Today’s 12z run is gonna be the most important run since the winter solstice.
  9. 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.
  10. 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
  11. This would be my 4th snow event this winter. We might be teeing up for a January MECS at this point.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. Yea, it's a steady snow here with respectable dendrites.
  15. Snow shower on my doorstep. Looking foggy to the west.
  16. I'm in. This weather is getting boring lol
  17. 09/10 was a fluke with blocking starting by early to mid-Fall and several east coast systems already hitting "the wall". It was only a matter of time before it snowed in that pattern. Imo, this winter is showing its hand pretty early as a potentially "run of the mill" winter. I've already had a couple of snow events, but as typical in December, nothing to go 4 wheeling in. It's been cold at times and mild at times, but nothing extreme.
  18. It is kinda wild, though, that in 3 months it’ll be March Madness. Relying on backloaded winters is risky business. It’ll be go time soon.
  19. The 2nd and 3rd Jan '22 snowstorms were cool, but the first one that gave Cabin John several inches and Frederick several flakes made me question my post count (even more than I already do).
  20. I don't mind nuisance snow early in the season (like now), but after a few of them it's go time. It also depends on whether it's a holiday...1-2" on Chrismukkah or NYE would be cool.
  21. I'm beginning to wonder if the STJ even exists anymore. The lack of a consistent southern stream or fetch of moisture from the GOM is actually starting to get a little weird.
