flurries in NW DC!

I think I got like 8-9" from this living in Philly.

Anyway the high at my house in NW DC (at about 390') was 36.5F. At DCA (which is at sea level), it was 38F. Right now it's 27F here, and 30F at DCA. Something must be deeply wrong with the measurements at DCA </sarcasm>.

lol you are laughably clueless. It's located in one of the densest and most urbanized areas on the East Coast. Dude thinks the strip of trees on the GW Pkwy should negate the million plus people that live around it.

DCA's temp is perfectly reasonable. It's in the middle of a massive UHI. It should be several degrees warmer than the suburbs in most situations.

probably because - if you assume that the probabilities of all the discrete events of a storm outcome that could occur are approximately uniformly distributed (I get that is probably a stretch), and that there are more discrete events that favor a non-snow outcome vs a snow outcome for us, then the sample space of all possible outcomes are more heavily dominated by non-snow ones. Thus the probability of selecting a non-snow outcome is higher, so if a model is all by itself in predicting one, it's more likely to be correct than a model all by itself predicting a snow-outcome. I realize that there are a ton of assumptions here that are probably not empirically grounded (independent events, etc), but it seems that might be the general logic.

don't worry guys - it'll trend north.

27/0 here. Cold.

guys this is NOTHING like March 2001.

DCA at 60.

pressure here in the upper 970s mb

did he post the wrong maps? did anyone see this?

yeah when i lived there i wouldn't wear much in terms of DC sports stuff (although they laughed at Nats gear, this was 2008-2010 lol). In NY, no one gives a shit. NY'ers have better shit to do.

I lived there for two years - just gotta keep cool (although I don't think they care much about O's fans).

yeah they're close for our friends from like Utah where cities are 10 hours apart. In east coast terms, they aren't though. If you want to get really really pedantic and look at it like the Commerce Department / Census Bureau does, Hanover is probably most tied to the Baltimore metro (in terms of big city metros - there are smaller metro areas that are closer).

good food though.

Oh wait, bro thought Philly wasn't in the "Mid Atlantic". Guess we shouldn't expect much.

Hanover isn't even close to Philly, bro. Learn some fucking geography.

grab a drink, friend.

lol - put down your drink. It looked better than the 18z run.

I have some extended family from south Jersey. I have memories from when I was a kid of my second cousin who was a first grade teacher and her license plate read "Bud Babe". Outstanding people, really.

yep - the big ones don't sneak up on ya

I remember when the Euro picked up on Sandy early. It was kind of on its own, and the solution was so insane that most of us (in the NYC forum at least) were like, no way that's happening. Then, it showed it again. And again. And again. At some point, there was a realization that it's the Euro, and it's probably right. And everyone was like - fuck. The Euro always sees the big ones early.

The Euro had Sandy - just saying, folks

Tomer says he's gonna be out of town.. damn, it might actually happen now.
