Yeah but the post from Stormchasserchuck calling out the progression we saw today makes me worried
-
It's annoying the rug is being pulled again
-
Tuesday morning could be a disaster on the roads if the NAMs are correct
-
Driving on the ICC this morning I was surprised to see snow on the shoulders and exit ramps from ~MM 8-13
-
Anything in that little pocket near Tyson’s?
-
Progressed from flurries to very light snow here
-
Flurries in Potomac
-
18z euro would give most of us a white Christmas

If we’re talking about Jan/Feb 2021 we got unlucky as the storms hit to the south of DC or just north of DC https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2023/12/27/dc-snow-hole/ We also had the storm around Presidents’ Day where a small warm layer at ~5000 ft turned a 6-10 inch snow event into a sleet fest around DC despite cold low level temps. We probably had a bottom 10 percent outcome for that set up and I’d take our chances w it again.

Interesting that the 12z models still give us a bit of hope for WAA snow on Christmas
-
Coastal is a loss at this point but maybe we can get some mood flakes with the system dying in the Ohio Valley
-
For those who like a cold Christmas the GFS gives us a cold rain

12/15 Possible I81 event. First inch of the season out here?

Got rain/snow mix here in Potomac -

If this was 6 hours earlier we would’ve likely gotten on the board w a minor accumulation even in the immediate metro area; just a bit unlucky -
18z GFS would be annoying
-
Got the DC/Balt snowhole so it might be right
-
18z Euro says Sunday is still worth watching especially for N/W of 95
-
Impressive miss by short range guidance which even this morning showed highs only around 40 at DCA which is now at 47
-
Interesting that both the Euro and GFS agree on a storm being off Cape Hatteras 12/21-12/22
-
Euro looks good for the 21st
-
Euro actually is kind of close for Sunday for a brief period of front end snow even into the metros
-
Not sure how the first system can work even with a perfect track since the airmass ahead of it's garbage. A potential follow up storm that looks like Boxing Day 2010 is a easier chance to score imo
-
Still think the 2nd potential window on the 21st-22nd has a better shot since the cold air will be established at that point
-
Euro also suggests a chance 12-21/12-22 with a bit better timing
-
Both NAMs show snow squalls moving through right before dawn
