My yard will be a good barometer for my northern friends. Time spread for the models with my flip to sleet is as early as 1am or as late as 7am (as it stands right now). Onset right around 6pm or so. Range of snow amounts before the flip is 3-7". If I'm awake lol I'll post my snow totals and flip time. 

My gut guess is 4-5" of snow, 2-3" of sleet, and .25zr. Anything less than 3" of snow would be a bar buster but 3" or more of sleet would make up for it lol

I will be watching what you and @Buddy1987@wxdude64 and guys like that are observing since you are upstream of this storm from me, as you all are for most snowstorms for that matter.

I appreciate you guys!  May your flip over be ever delayed and good luck!

No. There is no "folding". That's simpleton talk.

Lol agreed. Global models aren't supposed to be analyzed at the microscopic level. I never thought the gfs and euro were that apart when people were calling it 2 different planets yesterday lol.  This is how it always works entering the short range. Global models will never be identical beyond 48 hours. The gfs and euro ticked towards a middle ground pretty much like they always do.

 

A gfs/euro blend at 72 hours is a pretty safe take with the vast majority of our events. Euro is a superior model in the mid range but the gfs does pretty good with the northern stream. A blend with a hedge towards the euro is pretty much what I do with every storm. Tomorrow the mesos will be more important than the globals. I know you know this stuff and we probably agree that some mountains were made out of mole hills the last 24 hours.

Winds here are easing around to the ENE. Temp 64/63. Very dark cloud cover all day, portending rain later tonight which will transition into ZR probably Saturday morning sometime.

DMV should do well with the snow and sleet. You will all be thoroughly glaciated by Monday, and this Glacial Era will continue well into February.

This is going to evolve into one heck of a winter there, and it is upon you. This pattern will not ease up. More snows are coming your way.

33 heading to 10

Just started a fire to keep the heat pump from running.

I lit the charcoal grill to grill some lamb chops just after the front passed through.  The fire struggled mightily to put out decent heat.  Was concerned I'd have to finish the chops in the broiler.

First world problems, aye.

Here in Reston, VA earlier check temp at about 5:00 PM to decide layering or a hoodie, it was 46 degrees. As of posting it is now 26 degrees. So, would this say colder air is here for the event, dunno not the weather geek, just a lurker wanting to learn weather
