long story short, this is a snowstorm for our area. mixing almost always happens, but this storm is going to bump my winter grade up.
-
some gloppy flakes mixing back in as the yellow approaches. i have a feeling it might rip for a bit.
-
snow mixing back in here. northern crew is golden.
-
sleet has made an appearance here. bit earlier than i expected, but i'm in between heavier rates, so we'll see. still not a bad deal.
-
snow to mix/rain is never ideal, but it's easy to forget it's feb 20. this winter flew by, partly because it hasn't been a strong winter overall. got a couple good storms out of it, though. not bad considering we never really got into a prolonged deep freeze. maybe we can weasel our way into another event in a week or two.
-
typical cad. mix line will encroach from all directions, but it wouldn't surprise me if north/central md jackpots.
-
3"+ here now.
-
still a powdery snow. while i'm not a column/skew chart guru, i would imagine that's not a bad sign, though it could also be a product of temps in the 20s to start.
-
Just measured 2.5”.
-
the yellows are top shelf rates for this area. wouldn't be suprised if this next line drops a quick inch. it's pouring here.
-
eyeballing 2 inches here. gulf of mexico moisture overriding cold air is fun. might need to make an appearance outside shortly with this next band.
-
These rates are of the business variety.
-
Classic thump
-
it's a thick cold outside. not bitter, but definitely has that "day before a snow" feel. pretty obvious this isn't a 100% rain airmass. hope we can cash in on the goods tomorrow morning before the flip.
-
the key is how long we can hold off on the sleet. given the less than ideal setup, i agree with others that are thinking 1-2/2-4 for dc and tbh i wouldn't be suprised if we ping for a few hours after if the cad is strong enough. the 540 line is all the way up into canada before the precip even gets here. i know that's not the end all, but i don't recall any setups where that's a good thing.

he's the dude. deals with the weenies well, too. i'm assuming he just needed a break. this place is like the streetball of forecasting where everyone is trying to show out lol, but in a world of social media, this place does serve a niche.

my mom lives in vegas. snowed an inch or two there this morning, which is pretty unusual. guess they aren't done around there.
-
it's gonna snow on february 20. enjoy it. it's getting to be late in the game.
-
thanks, i'll keep those in mind because my cousin is going to scotland soon and i told him to bring me back something. scotch might be like beer for me...i'm picky and i think the peat is similar to the extra hoppy beers that i don't like. however, for some reason, i haven't met any bourbons that aren't at least drinkable, though i do try to stay away from the ryes. maybe all this is tied to my general distaste for bitterness.
-
yep, some of the biggies have produced up front, coming in like a wall. 93...96...00...03...though interestingly not so much with 09, 10 and 16...they took some time to get going. temps obviously help as well.
-
meh...i've tried it a few times and i get that same peaty flavor that just overwhelms it for me. bourbon is much more palatable to me.
-
i think this is gonna be a better run. high is in a better spot, too. marginal differences, but it does look a little better (for the city at least).
-
looks like 7am start time with the thump occurring not too long after. temps in the upper 20s to start (estimating).
-
tremendous moisture plume on the nam.
-
Pd2 was an initial thump as well. If we only get that, then 6” is still within reach, which is what we basically got during the first few hours of that storm.
