WEATHER53

Back to snow at 1:58pn so current ob is light snow and 32.

If he’s in College he should be able to Pee write his name in the snow and photo send you that ob i went to a wedding at the church on campus in Dec and I really liked the feel and look up there.

1pm obs No precip at all for first time in a while. 31.1F and snow compacted down from 3.5 to 2-2.5

RGB Composite has clouds moving ne to ene and I want more north and less east

When they either screw or minimize DC the Bs the dump the huge amounts more on a northeat Md to Wilmington to Philly but forecasts drive it almost due north into PA. Want to see. How that turns out

He sounds like me???????

3-5 or 4-6 was most prevalent idea so yes I think more was expected. I got 3.5 which is in range. Not as busted forcesdt at all, just somewhat low.

If this had been an A that looked like all was go for 6”+, them bitter disappointment Bs are too hard, can’t get it right, even in present moment but I don’t blame models on these. Just gotta watch it happen

So now we look to see what moves from south toward us. 3.5” most consistent Even plowed road got recovered.

Back to very light with rate big flake. 3.5” most frequent measure. This has been fun, lot of people out today, cold but not bitter and not wet snow,

6pm Obs 28.7F. Darkest greens Of day over me and solid 0.5”ph rate 3” total that 3 degree drop in one hour is more like what happens post sunset when it’s clear so unless it’s somehow warming up top while getting colder at surface then I dont see much mixing or changing?

Just had a quick 1.3 temp drop and unless that’s from sunset then what attributable to? pretty much 31-32 all day but snow was more like a 28/29 drier consistency do it must still be cold up top

Watch it’s movement next. ene very bad, nne OK. N-nne very good

It’s not that DC climo sucks it’s that Miller Bs don’t do well here. 50% miss us completely, 30% deliver light to near moderate, 20% moderate to heavy The portrayal of the coastal has been all over the place And we still dont know what it’s going to do

4pm update Back from shoveling. Pretty darn brisk. 31F and snow rates 0.25ph to periodic 0.5. 2.75” accumulation.

Time for some sidewalk clearing Gonna leave the cars alone because if we get ice later would rather clear off a crusty 3” snowpack than glare ice or 0.5” glacier

Andy?

Level 1 greenies for DC weenies and level 2 in spots. Daylight dimming and temp down to 31. Would think it’s 0.5”ph now

That steadier band is 3 miles to my south Temp down to 31.2 from high of 31.9 and 2.5” accumulation

Some greenies trying to get here

Midland is where baby Jessica went down the well. I dont know how big Midland Is but I disagree with the need for 3-4 day lead time for preparation. That’s just poor organization . It’s winter, always be at the ready, . We contract for forecasting to several management companies for snow removal in commercial and residential lots. 48 hours in is what we provide . We started updating them Friday 7am. Trying to get them on alert days before that is unproductive. I well may not be able to tell you 5 days in advance what that low in Colorado is going to do to DC but the models cant either other than to show myriads of examples. There is also the “need to know” aspect that far in advance.

Gusty winds to 25 now and switching directions back and forth with blowing snow. Is this indicative of something occurring?

Got 2.3” here just north of DC

Where are you?

1pm obs 31.7F very light snow 2.25” accumulation
