Feb 22nd/23rd "There's no way..." Obs Thread

[NorthArlington101]

I just arrived at my hotel in Harrington Del. I'm shocked at what's already going on here. It looks like about 3" otg already and it's coming down good. I had to flip into four wheel drive about 20 miles outside Harrington. LFG!

That’s not Easton! Have fun though - you probably made a better choice.

Well, unless we get some serious back building not much longer for us on the I-81 corridor.  Best of luck for everyone else.

Are you at HI  across from casino.  
3” is stellar and I’m going to start to gets obs from halfway between Salisbury and OC 

[ravensrule]

Snowing nicely here, not sticking to anything yet.

I think I'll just come out and say the nowcasting trends of the expected upper level behavior will probably lead to a lower end of any accumulation range for areas west of the Bay, expect those under the norlun trough. I think even I will get about 4-5" or so just west of the Bay. Eastern shore still looks ripe. Hope I'm wrong, but I'm not seeing a favorable 5H progression for prolonged snow here. The jog east-northeast of the SLP once it gets to the latitude of DE is basically on all guidance now. Unless that changes, probably going to be tough to reach >6" for anywhere west the western shore of the Bay. Northeast MD, Eastern Shore, and points northeast should still do well enough. I'm going to enjoy whatever I get. 

Seems to me the EURO was correct in not "tucking in" the surface low like so many other models did. It's well offshore and has been since leaving the Carolina coast.

37° and chunky rain in Havre de Grace

Down to 36°. It’s close to switching I can feel it

Christmas card view through the window at the moment.

As always, wishing you folks the best.

Grass has caved in Great Falls. 
 

33.8

[Kay]

Band rotating in toward the western shore, I am posted up by the radar/window, let's see.

[psuhoffman]

NWS just upped me to 8-12. Am I missing something?  Hope they are right and I’m way wrong. 

[grhqofb5]

Changeover starting in Odenton. Stray flakes mixing in at 36

[Terpeast]

My nowcast guess - based on radar, seems to be some convergence from HGR/MRB down to west of leesburg to warrenton. Maybe thinking thats where the norlun forms initially and then slowly migrates east to DC

[MN Transplant]

32.7.  Just starting to stick on mulch and elevated surfaces.

You're a snow magnet. Enjoy. Light up another fatty, you deserve it.

Nice pics. Is that damage to the side of your trampoline? I've had to replace the lower poles multiple times on ours.

[Herb@MAWS]

Awaiting puking in Columbia….

In N Arlington for this one. Let’s run it back like the olden days. 2.5” target?

the wind took it off and when we knew the snow might put some weight on it just left it down. The whole play area is only about a year old. 7000lbs of green rubber mulch under there... what an idea by the wife.

35/34

Moderate snow. Ground starting to cave

[Paleocene]

My rain is trying to turn white in silver spring. At 4pm as predicted 

[bncho]

Blizzard of 2026, live in McLean, VA!

[JenkinsJinkies]

Snow has mixed in and it’s alternating between a 50/50 mix and white rain. Car thermometer is saying 35 but I’ve found that to be warm biased by about 2 degrees.

[PWC Split]

33.6 and absolutely ripping right now in Haymarket. Mulch and grass already caved, probably need another 45-60 minutes before the road caves.

[Scraff]

Just saw a few fat flakes. This could be it! 

[NorthArlington101]

Grass caving fine in Arlington. Just need to keep the rates going.
