Surprised there’s not more panic about the north trend. The wiggle room for dc is gone.

I thought you were joking as I was giving my obs. That is crazy the temp jump

Wow.  Front passed through here and temp shot up to 51°.  Compressional heating on a 35 mph west wind.

Hagerstown jumped from 42 to 49

4-6 hour event.  0.30-0.35 qpf is a good bet for us.  I'd go no higher than 12:1 because we might burn a little on rain/mix at the beginning, and temps will be borderline.  I'd probably go 3-4" for you. 2-3" for me with my surface temp issues.

I’m reading it’s 4 hour pass thru right over my shed as 0.7. 1.9. 1.5 0.5 so I see now

 New England folks would like to have a word with you about model consistency. 

Did the go from 18” to 2 in like 12 hours?

I’m catching up for last 2 hours so write first snd come back later. For answers. 
if I’m seeing 3 hour panels of .25 minimum and then another close to same and it’s 8-10 hour  event then majority of accumulations seem real low?

Been a while since we’ve had a bonfide circulating clipper move under us. I’m thinking it may not hustle away as quickly as shown.

Looks like im staying up til 2am on Saturday!

I think there is  almost 2 hour period of 1-1.5” ph 

1 hour ago, stormtracker said:

It's def a bit more amp'd out front on H5...precip orientation is  more SW to NE than 12z..there's more/a bit heavier precip on the N and W shield...still waiting on the money panel

If answered already then sorry but for DC proper what is onset  and end time?

11 minutes ago, WinterWxLuvr said:

Saturday and Saturday night look to be a nice wintry period. Reasonably cold. Not like the garbage on Tuesday

But…but…but… well into 40’s on Sat. 

NOT

3z at the doorstep...not seeing any remarkable changes for us so far

10pm onset is utterly delicious

wrestling is over, night is not over, not sucking down coffee for a 3am onset that’s rain, had dinner with grandchildren earlier, obs thread will be stellar.  Could be woody material come crunch time !

Where? PSU's yard? Forecast high for greater DC-Baltimore area is 40 with plenty of sun.

It becomes mostly sunny about 3pm 

not much heating there with 2+” everywhere

16 minutes ago, CAPE said:

Other than padding stats a tiny bit, what's the difference? With mid Feb sun and and high temps of 40, 3 inches will disappear just as quickly as 1-2.

Except it falls overnight and never gets above 35 on Saturday 

Gradually seeing more 2-3 and less 1-2

Clears the area at 15z

So from midnight to 9/10 am averaging .25 to .5”ph during darkness  and we get 2.5” to 4.5” total

4am

Great graphics and thanks

so by 4am the modest low is east of us so the warm front type  overrunning beforehand did not warm us up.  Overrunners  can do 2-4”  often .  Then the low gets east of us and temps fall 2-4F and we are temp safe and see if snow continues.

WB 12K NAM 10pm

I dont think Norfolk will be 43 and DC 40 in this set up. I think DCA is 36/37 when first flakes fall

not sure how much more you can age at this point! Enjoy

Could however actually become cranky upon occasion 

16 minutes ago, WinterWxLuvr said:

Not sure. But it has a great view of Mount Washington and a great climate

Yeah we stayed there when we drive to top of MT Washington. Been to Klingmans dome peak also so 2 of tallest 3 in the east 

20 minutes ago, stormtracker said:

I told you, I'm always down for that.   You me and Zwyts...the old days

We should get like 3 more new to us to join the old big Three. I think Ebbits doesn’t do half price anymore and maybe PSU or Ji has a favored place and some nurturing bonding can occur??

Or a hamburger with regular ass bread.   Our parents traumatized us.

I was allowed to climb trees. Very lucky to be here, y’all almost missed out big time!

Euro is colder also, snow falls with surface temps of 25-27 for you and me.  And the high on Saturday is 33 in Winchester and 31 here.  Might actually feel like winter for a minute or two.  

So you thinking like  30/31 for say Beltsville during the snow?
