  1. I know I’m in the minority, but sleet is actually pretty fun—as long as we get a solid front-end thump. And as a fan of snow cover, nothing preserves it quite like a thick layer of sleet on top.
  2. Once we start getting into range the NAMs especially the 3k have been pretty good at picking up hidden warm layers missed by the globals
  3. If I remember correctly we had sleet in the huge February 2003 storm as well with temps in the teens?
  4. As someone who likes power I really hope we can avoid freezing rain with temps around 20
  5. Let’s hope the GFS scores another coup like the other 2 MECS it’s predicted this winter
  6. It's the GFS. Toggle through the last 4 runs to find out how "consistent" it has been before freaking out
  7. We had sleet for a few hours in the 96 storm in Potomac
  8. Way too much early celebrating around here. We have 120 hrs for things to go wrong and every 6 hours we go from “don’t worry it’s the GFS” to the GFS is amazing
  9. I’ll be on total tilt as well since it’s had 2 MECS within 100 hrs for the area and been wrong so hopefully it’s just as wrong on this one as well. Having it finally score a coup on this potential storm would be so tilting.
  10. Wasn’t the GFS predicting a crippling blizzard for this past weekend 100 hrs out?
  11. This is the type of storm we’d of scored something measurable even in DC 20 years ago as we only missed by a degree or two. We had well below normal temps with precip at night during our coldest time of year along with temps at 850mb well below freezing and we manage to fail. Very disheartening even though it’s a “small bust”
  12. GFS can’t even get tomorrows storm right and we’re freaking out about a storm 8 days out?
  13. It's super frustrating that we're going to be well below freezing at 850mb in the dead of night during our coldest time of year and still manage to rain. Tomorrow will register as a well below normal day with precip and we still can't really score.
  14. They’ve actually juiced up but were a degree or two to warm and we waste a lot to rain
  15. .25" here this morning with streets briefly caving
  16. Euro gives DC nearly an inch tonight let's see if its right (although it might be sleet looking at soundings)
  17. GFS wants to bring us some snow tv tomorrow midday
  18. The GFS not being excited about it makes me more optimistic
  19. not quite a shutout as we got a trace or .1 early morning on New Years Day but this month has been an epic disaster considering the hype and the phantom GFS blizzards torturing us each time
  20. An impressive showing from the GFS this week, going 0–2 within 100 hours of the phantom storm’s onset. Forecasting confidence remains high; accuracy optional.
  21. The GFS has been on a heater with digital snow recently
  22. I'm at the grocery store stocking up for tomorrow's GFS blizzard
