I think when I joined this forum back in 2013 the separate RIC "subforum within the forum" thread already existed but I think ya'll should just shove into the main thread. PAers have always been allowed even though their climate =/ anything close to D.C.
when I moved to Cville for the briefest moment I considered posting in the RIC subforum but just plowed ahead. Had an obs thread that was pretty much just me once or twice lol
Something like that - there are more hours then I like where the surface temps are over 32 in DC. Might need to go to the other side of the river for this one? @stormtracker not poo-pooing our event but I kinda assume if it snows 0.3"/hr in DC at 34 during the daytime it never snowed in the first place?
So maybe I was harsh - there is the more solid push Tuesday then something that appears sorta separate… but it all kinda blends. This is probably a better map.
You kinda are - this doesn’t include the lingering snow and the start of the second wave, which was included in the maps people posted earlier… this is only the “meat”
I know we kinda discussed it already, but that GFS run was 40” of snow in 12 HOURS! Historic digital snow run… hard to believe we’ve ever had a more extreme hourly snowfall result.
In a normal world this would be a very strong signal a WAA-level storm was approaching. I’d lock the 18z EPS up immediately... as would I think most of us.
