Master of Disaster Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 But not Baltimore?. I asked specifically about MC and Howard, but it would only make since for Balt as well considering the other WFOs are including Cecil and a few Eastern shore counties.

Master of Disaster Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Kind of pleased to see totals increasing for once as we get closer to the storm. The pattern this year has been for the exact opposite. My boss is calling for 1-3". Ehhh, I should have bet him lunch once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avdave Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 STFU and stop trolling. Contribute to the discussion or be gone. If you are going to tell the people about the counties being upgraded to a warning you should mention all the counties involved. some people could be think oh, my county isnt in a warning so it wont be that bad..

BlizzardNole Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 and Walla, you got it Katie I'm speechless....I actually did a little yardwork on Friday and was getting hot LOL! This could put parts of the area close to average winter snowfall amts (I have 15" to date) which is AMAZING given the mod/strong Nina and some bad luck we had.

Quasievil Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 aa county in warning! BRING IT! http://www.erh.noaa.gov/er/phi/ I'm really shocked we have a WSW... I didn't see them taking it as far south as 'Napolis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedtobe Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I meant more aloft...critical thicknesses have a slight tilt and run wnw-ese. It looks like surface temps really crash towards 00z. The sounding at my house location was colder than DC at 03Z and I'm ese of DC, more east than south. It's now 43 and starting to drop again. I'm only 200 yards from a wsw to my north and 2 miles from an advisory but because the county is so long and skinny, I'm in nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master of Disaster Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Any of the mets know if the NWS is ever going to move towards polygon or threat based warnings for Winter weather instead of County based warnings? It looks kind of goofy to have MC, Howard, and AA in a warning, but North PG is under and advisory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow Wes you really are right on that border huh? My parents are 4 miles south of Dunkirk right off Rt 4. My brother's electrical company has a contract with a few parking lots in northern Calvert under which he has to send his trucks out to plow if it hits two inches. I haven't called him yet.....

It looks kind of goofy to have MC, Howard, and AA in a warning, but North PG is under and advisory. Notice the same a lot with Loudoun, Frederick, Howard and not that northern half of Montgomery. Would be nice to see something better than just counties. Also, couldn't agree more nice to see totals going up as we get close to a storm and not just because everyone is trying to be super conservative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 15z SREF plumes look quite nice for BWI. Mean of 0.43" of snow QPF...but that is biased downward due to 4 outliers with total precip amounts <0.4". The bulk of the members fall in between 0.45-0.75" of snow QPF. Max is 0.77". DC and Sterling haven't loaded yet. http://nws.met.psu.edu/plumes/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
