If this storm gets 1" in the DC metro will this forecast be a bust? I've seen some of these models, but today's temps were way too warm to produce this much forecast snow. Ground too warm. The day(s) before the storm has to be subfreezing for this type of snow totals to produce. I was driving around today (in and around beltway) and outside temp read 37. I've just lived here too long and that's what I've observed. being outside and not inside looking at computer models.

Ground's cold here. We still have some snow on the ground from Friday.

“Omg, i cant believe this, i just measured 4” in one hour.  Euro had me at 4” storm total.  I’m so shocked after spending 4 days bitching about this storm”

Got going here in north Rockville (Derwood) about 20 min ago - MoCo/HoCo deathbanded to kick things off.  Street is fighting a losing battle.

That snow hole in Central Loudoun has been sad! Friends in northern Loudoun were already reporting heavy snow! Started here about 12:18am - Not too heavy yet! 

 

Yeah, nothing here yet in Centreville in western Fairfax also.  I’m wondering if this is a manifestation of that “claw” signature that has been depicted on some of the models.  Snow to the north and snow to the south and subsidence in between :/

This will be bigger than Knickerbocker.  I expect to see you on mall tomorrow with a yardstick measuring 28.5"

LOL.  I stay home during the big storms.  Maybe Tuesday or Wednesday I'll venture to the Mall.

That was the former @TinGTown who never returned here, after he passed out in the chair in his yard and woke up covered in 4” of snow.
