23 here currently and solid cloud cover again.... Bit depressing to be honest..

It’s cloudy almost every day here. I actually think the eastern shore and central Va are underrated. They get less of the stratus decks caused by the Great Lakes and mountains, and they seem to get more snow now lol. Current satellite loop really shows the difference between i95 east and west.

Been overcast since 9:15 in Fairfax City despite a mostly sunny forecast.

I note the AFDs have a new format with "keypoints" rather than being organized strictly chronologically. Wonder why they decided to screw around with it.

I actually like the new format.  I think its better.  Seems like its a new thing across the WFOs

Cloudy and 26.9/10.1 at 12:30 pm. If looks counted, it would be snowing right now, sky has THAT look to it, but way too dry to reach the ground.

There's some stuff on radar to the NW. Virga, doubtless.

Snowing lightly.

Some light flakes fallin at 27 deg. So much for a high of 31 today.

Yeah, no snow fell here as the radar returns went overhead, but cloudy and 27.7/8.3 at 2:30 pm isn't gonna make the 37 forecast high bode well for NWS.

The short-range models completely missed this little low or whatever it is.

cloudy and cold, it's like we have been transported to the Great Lakes except without the snow on the ground.
