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

Are you well stocked with proper squirrel and muskrat vittles during this winter siege?

We are in a snow pattern  86-87 has come up more than once in analog discussions this season. That is the greatest season in my life for snowing every time it possibly could with most events looking like 1-3” ending up 4-6.!  Kinda just happened and more reinforcing cold comes in and we well may be snowing Saturday at noon and the temp not above 25

Looks like the GFS was off its rocker about ending with .2-.4 across the area midday today.

They underestimated this one until about 24 hours to go 

Still a solid 5” everywhere.  Blowing snow has started and down to 30.5

Got sidewalks and one car cleared and putting filled bird feeder out

I don’t see this as a problem, though.  We accumulated on the grass where it matters and shoveling the inch from the sidewalks was easy!

I think it was plenty cold as evidenced by the rare fact that we continued to very slowly  increase accumulation during the daylight under very light to light snow

Eased up to lightest since this morning but it’s added up great to 5” and a band to sw

Impressive additional snow

Man with the two or so already and another 4-5” would put everyone over 6!

Did any model show that 24-48 hours ago?

Still no flakes in Georgetown (DC) for several hours.  It's now a misty rain. What are we to expect?

 

They left you at the DCA site?

That moderate to heavy area now between Roanoke and Martinsville I’ve been watching since it was around Memphis. If it maintains its line that could be big later.

Was just driving in Wheaton area. Georgia ave mostly wet. Univ Blvd covered and not in good shape, but Arcola mostly wet. Go figure. Probably treatment related.  Temp of 28. Rates aren't bad, but not ideal either. Either way need better flakes. Then need the Eagles to get NAM'd later by Tampa. 

Good part of that university stretch has lots of shade

Something over 2”. Couldn’t get a great guess.

That looks so much like mine in Kemp Mill. Built around 1958?

6:40 pm - 28/27, -SN, 2"

The rate is about 0.5"/hr now.  Would like to see 1/hr for a period

Just a steady light snow  long duration that pops moderate a bit and was just a degree or two cold enough in the weak sun daylight to accumulate

I’m almost moderate 2.25”

We did something  that’s hard to do around here which is accumulate snow in the daytime with rates 1/8-1/4”ph
