H2O Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 UPDATE: Third party sources have told us that not only may the trace amounts of ice bring a zombie apocalypse, but they may also bring a massive invasion of Ian clones. zombies I can handle but not Ian clones. zombies only want our brains. Ian clones would flood the web with "meh" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 zombies I can handle but not Ian clones. They will all say "I guess" at the same time at a deafening volume. Followed by a ear shattering "MEH" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 this is hilarious I know Tommy T from WBAL has been harping on about this system since last Thursday. It's obvious people got burned last week and are now going overboard on a trace of snow/sleet/ice and a decent thumping of rain. It too will come back and bite them in the ass - people will be expecting a lot, wake up to next to nothing and again will not trust the usual suspects.

Master of Disaster Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 NWS indicated some guidance that .50" possible for N Cent MD with substantial ice potential into the suburbs of DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdsnowlover Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 the wc has been doing the same thing . They have been harping on this being a bad event. No wonder people are going nuts. What's accuweather saying?? If lwx doesn't know for sure what's gong to happen, no wonder opm is going easy on workers. I,m not surprised at this. Its interesting to watch all the outlets and what theiy're saying. This is typical of a """storm'"" in the midatlantic. DT is saying its """historic'"" for the midwest. Who knows.

RevWarReenactor Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Doesn't the NAM still have a decent Freezing Rain potential from Baltimore on north? Should that be discounted considering the NAM usually does the best with temps? DC maybe done, but I wouldn't necessary discount areas further north of there, yet.

DC maybe done, but I wouldn't necessary discount areas further north of there, yet. it does but it's probably a cold outlier at this pt and it's keeping n/nw winds thru most of the event which doesnt make a ton of sense with a strong low to the west. it's not as clear cut i guess as if there were no high to the north but in this case i'd probably side more with the gfs/euro and perhaps drop their warming a smidge.

Ian Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 CAD creates ageostrophic wind at the surface.. regardless of where the low is.. i understand but it's not going to hold as well without a low forming on the coast like we saw jan 11. it could be we stay cold till the frontal zone comes through tho... i dunno. i dont personally forecast freezing rain because it's pretty impossible to know where the 32 line will end up. in this case i think people are going a bit overboard. that's all...

AJField Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Looks to any thinking person that NWS and OPM are overreacting on this "event". Someobody needs to tell them you can't overreact this week to make up for not being right LAST week. Sorry if that second part is OT. It really appears moisture not here tonite, and by tomorrow night it will be too warm for ice. Do they have their own super double secret model or something?

True, however the 1/11 storm was more of an in-situ CAD event without the high to the north and northwest like we have now... This looks more classic, especially if the low falls apart as it heads north out of the mid-west.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5speed6 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 WWAs have been creeping southward into the DC 'burbs. Looks like it's going to come down to which side of Rt. 50 you're on. Edit: @budice -- Hah, and here I was about to say that AACO seems to just a hair too far south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
