Monday and Tuesday are basically locks I think.

The one most here forget about: Baltimore!

Baltimore, actually--but close enough, lol (in the northeast part of the city just before)

[WxUSAF]

I’d go with same as Columbia. I feel pretty confident that anyone measuring properly on a snowboard in our areas tomorrow will have >=6” of combined snow and sleet. Snow DEPTH could stay under that if things break poorly but probably will exceed.

Are there any common household items that make a good snowboard?

Got my pre storm errands done but forgot to pick up bird seed. Argh. 
 

PS. if you’re in and around DC, highly recommend yellow for lunch. The bbq lamb pita was fookin ridiculous.

@Nomzis feeling good about sticking to 4-8 and waiting to go big, right?!?!

White painted plywood is ideal. For this storm where all surfaces will be equally cold, a patio table would work. Especially if it isn’t blocked by your house.

Our storm Preparation (H) is finally complete!

Wondering if this storm is going to ultimately have the lowest tracking/posting to snowfall ratio ever.

Nashville look at this transition line https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?parms=OHX-N0C-1-24-100-usa-rad

Take every cutting board in the kitchen.

Tell them it's for science.

No. I don’t think we get there with this one. But the amount of whining over us actually getting *snow is something else.

It’s because of the encroachment of mixing.

I don’t know what to say. It’s going to be a glacier on Monday.  It’s not like we are interior Maine climo. We mix. It happens a LOT.

Nothing new here. All hype all week to end up with squat like usual. The grocery stores win again

Since you can tell the future, can you let me know the powerball numbers?

If we were staring at a 8-15” snowfall a few days ago and it morphed into a rainstorm 96 hours later, sure I’d get the gnashing of teeth.  But this is going to be a high impact event of snow/sleet/freezing rain with temps in the teens/20s.  

We don’t get these events around here for a reason - we’re not interior New England lol

[RickinBaltimore]

How do you ignore people again?

You've been here more than long enough to know how things go down.

[konksw]

I don’t think it’s the mixing per se that is the issue. If we were riding freezing line and mixed it would be expected. Mixing with being well below freezing isn’t a super common occurrence. 

[Snowciopathic Snow Bro]

Up to 19F here in Gainesville.  Time to don my swimsuit, set out the lawn sprinkler, and jump through it to cool off a bit.

I just topped my Birdfy feeder but have an extra bag — feel free to stop by to take it

Yellow is incredible.  I work at Albi, the chef's fine dining restaurant.  Come say hi.

[Bubbler86]

May have already been said, but I would love to see the this place explode with a faster transfer on the Nam.  Even get a CCB going.  May take the board down.

12z RGEM finally ran - looks super heavy with the thump! Holds back the sleep maybe another 1/2 hour to an hour
