It’s Ok
We love the snow and cold and Dc is a very tough area to get a good idea of if a snow event will occur and models Do Not Help to zero in on that by the myriad of examples they switch to every 6 hours.
Some people have hissies whenever I state that Fact, you don’t, and I gained immense relief personally when I adopted that attitude. For this storm the models will begin forecasting noon Thursday, up until then a lot of “if this then that” examples are all they are.
Something like this has never happened and there is a reason for that. It doesn’t.
There have been maybe 1 or 2 in 50 years where OC got 12+ and this area 1-3.
we’ve still got 8 more 6 hour cycles to cover the bases and by noon Thursday something will settle in that’s a forecast as opposed to examples.
We do so much worse with a true B than anything. Looks good to the west, forecasted to transfer to Outer banks but transfers off Rehobeth instead, Baltimore gets a little, northeast MD a little more, Wilmington to Boston get a lot.
The correct term is corn dust and I*n and I started talking about it over 10 years ago. It was perfectly represented on the 2nd event with a perfect circle of no snow around DC Beltway that took 2-3 hours to fill in while snowing in every other direction
Finished shoveling and it’s tricky because the slight slush film leftover refreezes in all shady spots. Unless it dries out by dark there will be some tricky and disguised icy spots.
