Probably will look at models for first time on this one at 0z and then confirmation at 12z Thursday. Thats how it’s working right now. 

Down to 27.7

High occurred at 2pm of 29.5

Temps plummet until about 10 and then level off.

So...JB did REALLY analog this to PD 1979.  But we have to be fair, he said he is NOT calling for 2-3 feet, just 12-18"!  

We met him at one of our conferences Buff and engaging guy with nice pretty wife but he’s over exuberant . Randolph Leggings -was that Phillie?

2pm 29.5

4” on snowboard. I did some full sun measuring and have lost bit less than 0.5” in full sun today 

Cars  cleared .  Max in the direct sun temp so far 35. 

Maybe 0z sets the table but meal arrives 12z Thursday.

I haven't during 12z.  I'm pretty conservative when it comes to calls, believe it or not

You called me crazy

thats not conservative!!!

Pattern right now is models get it right at or between hours 24-36.

Pretty neat microclimate in my part of Frederick. Low was only 17° this morning but the neighborhood across the way of Monocacy in a “bowl” got down to 12°. More decoupling occurring naturally at lower elevation. 
 

Fast forward to now and that same station is 3° warmer than my place (26 vs 23) so the elevation is again playing a role. It helps with snow as well being at over 310ft while places around me are 60-80 ft lower. Pretty cool 

Two miles  ese  of Frederick that house hit 11. 

This is the coldest segment of our year, January 14th to 19th  with 44/30 at DCA .  We did not set a record by a lot but did get close to -20 departures which is rare.  The years that did set records between 14th to 19th did continue on as snowy and/or cold winters.

Low of 11 and as we get near 1pm I’m 24

Currently 3 degrees here. 

Well I asked about vittles and at 3 you gotta be somewhere special. 

I’ve been stuck at 18.2 for over an hour! Worrisome. 

Should  I go to that place?  What’s it called ? The  Picnic Zone?

DCA has been at or below 32 since 9pm Sunday so just over 48 hours.

Whats the record year for most consecutive hours? 

I’m lethargic  right now but I will guess between 1977, 1982 1985, 1994?

Passing out drunk outside during a snowstorm and waking up covered in 4” of snow is legendary. But yeah, you’re never gonna live last night down

Snow cover and passed out drunk is no way to go thru life son. 
 

or is it?????

Impressive drop from 30.5 at 3 to 26.5 now.  Glad I got slush  and loose ice up as it’s all locked up frozen now 

18.2 now. 
Were the winds  to go calm someone would hit 0 but breezes will stay up I guess?

10pm. 18.5F. 4.75” on snowboard 

I can’t stay out in sub 20 with wind at night for more than 10 minutes anymore.

GFS is basically an ots solution.  Euro kind of is, too.  CMC seems iffy with the low deepening that quickly.  I think expectations of a light event is probably the move at this point.

Right now until noon Thursday the models are engaged in waffle mode.  Every six hours will move back and forth showing DC proper getting from 0.5” to 5”. 

Last two storms models took until 24-36 hours out to get it right. That’s the pattern so expect the same.  If start time is 12 noon Friday then noon Thursday reveals the deal with some non tremendous wavering possible by midnight beforehand 

Impressive drop from 30.5 at 3 to 26.5 now.  Glad I got slush  and loose ice up as it’s all locked up frozen now
