Includes Thursday stuff, 24hr still a good warning level event for many though

Followed up with some nice cold as well. Would love this to verify. We need a storm where everyone wins for once.

About the 6th straight run of a south trend on the GFS. Can probably stop soon.

Doubtful, it’ll miss south and not even be a storm like tomorrow (on every model except the gfs)

Canadian is on the euro train. Snow arrives later with the high already moving out. Yikes

AI Euro and AI GFS are more GFS like than CMC/Euro like.

Sun angle ain't mattering shit when it's 26 degrees

[LeesburgWx]

I want to be back in so bad. I just don’t know though

[bncho]

lol this event feels surreal. the fact that we're even talking about 26 degree March snow is crazy

They got the memo that the GFS is the new King

Actually we had a storm when it was like 18 degrees in March one and the sun angle was melting it on the pavement somehow in DC, but it was a great event nonetheless. 

The GFS looks good enough that I'm roped back in.  If it is 1-3 sloppy inches ehhhhhh that doesn't interest me in March.

Overnight timing is really critical for March events. Sun angle is a real thing, unfortunately. Nothing we can do about it though

There's a reason September snow rarely sticks.

because it's rain?

AIFS stubbornly south - nada for us; little bit for Central VA

Don't fight it! You know you are already in. Just admit you have a problem and embrace it!

It’s happened plenty of times.

Yes, but my humor is dry. You can blame me for the drought. Just a bit of sarcasm given the similar sun angle.

Yeah. The AIGFS would be nice I think. Just going off 6 hour QPF panels and the upper air temps. 

[stormtracker]

Euro is snow to mix/ZR rain actually.   Looks like a lot of ZR.   Or could just be sleet

[stormtracker]

Seems like an ice storm just from this one panel 

 

[stormtracker]

Fuck it, close enough.  Welcome back Montreal Ice Storm of 1998.

[stormtracker]

But seriously...starts as snow around 3z Tuesday,  light to mod through 9z, then flip between 9z and 12z and goes to light to mod freezing rain.

We are counting on you, randy, to bring this home. Last storm flopped for many because you bailed on us.
