First real look at cool temps discussion

I don't think it will take that much to get sub 50 lows in the closer suburbs. Not all that uncommon. It's the highs that usually bust low. W-NW winds coming off the apps and blue ridge on a sunny day will bump maxes a 2-5 degrees above models. Haven't looked the the surface flow but I'm pretty sure breezy w-nw winds will be around until hp settles overhead.

I agree with this sentiment.

40s at night is fine, but any talk of enjoying wind and sub-60s temps is verging on blasphemy. Winter in the DC area is just months of misery randomly interspersed with a few days of snowfall. And Christmas.

Then call me blasphemous because I couldn't be more ready for it. BRING IT ON!!!!!!

I love cold and snow. Love the extremes. Even heat unless its like this past summer.

I'm a warm lover, though heat like we had in July was brutal. I just don't do cold all that well. And I grew up near Philly, so it's not like I didn't grow up with some cold around.

In winter, I hope for cold snaps that feature snow, with mild temps being the general rule. But if it's going to be cold, it better snow. That would keep me from being fairly miserable. Last winter was pretty awful in that regard.

Could we stick to the more realistic stuff, please? Yes, the models have another cool shot, but you're looking at the 300+ hour fantasy range. I would appreciate it if that kind of stuff was not discussed in this particular thread.

Looks like we won't be seeing the 0C 850s with this weekend's cold event (has warmed to 3-4C), but surface temps are still in the range we were looking at several days ago. No lake-effect snow yet.

EDITED for politeness :D

It was a slow day. Calm yourself. I don't need a reminder on the accuracy of the 360hr GFS.

Slow days are no excuse for junk posts. I am calm... I just would like this thread to have realistic discussion and not fantasy maps. The only reason why I started this thread is because there was a realistic and genuine setup in play that would allow for the cold (despite my lack of meteorological discussion on the matter). There's two others that also made posts about the long range GFS that I was directing my comment to.

So I assume these are quality posts that you felt added to the substance of your brilliant thread? Get your panties in a wad about the soon-to-be endless 384hr GFS blizzard threads/posts. Otherwise relax. The starter of a thread is not a moderator of that thread.

To each his own!

I'm one of the miserable wretches who hates cold, but loves snow.

the mtns of california! 10 feet of dumping followed by 3 weeks of sunshine.

This storm's going to north trend.

I like the sound of that. Ten feet may be a bit excessive, but I'd survive!

This cracks me up everytime:
