Who Thinks the Weekend Storm will drop anything more than a T?

[H2O]

I say HECS with a NESIS of 2.2

[mappy]

[wxmeddler]

I'm going to be disappointed if "Yes" gets any less than 33% of the final vote.

[ThePhotoGuy]

Yes and I will win the lottery this week.

[Riptide]

Indeed, there is bound to be some back-end action with this setup (somewhere) but I voted for cold tropical rain because it doesn't snow in the sub-tropics during October.

[nj2va]

Yes. Book it.

[Jebman]

LWX hinting at RW/SW mix this wkend - and not just in the mts

Time sensitive

http://forecast.weat...1&highlight=off

LWX has a major typo - NO WAY the 0 degree Fahrenheit isotherm gets as far south as they claim. Give me some of what they are smokin'.

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...HIPRES BUILDS ON FRI...PROVIDING INTRUSION OF COOL AIR. SOME GUIDANCE INDICATES THIS AMS MAY FEATURE H9 TEMPS BLW 0 DEG F...WHICH COULD PENETRATE N-CNTRL MD AND ERN WV PNHDL.

NO. FOOKIN'. WAY.

That would translate to 15 degrees Fahrenheit AT THE 2 METER LEVEL - IMPOSSIBLE even in north central Maryland at this time of the year - NO FVCKING WAY - Hell that would be a major Arctic cAk intrusion even in January!!!!!!! Get of the fvckin' drugs already!!!

Where did they get their meteorological degree from?

Who the hell are lasorsa and kramar? I bet they're like those air traffic controllers that slept on the job

I think there were more than one. Indiana got a foot of snow in mid October one year, It caused lots of tree damage. I don't remember the event because the MIC of IND put me on the speakerphone to discuss why I thought the storm would occur.

Today's 12Z suite = 100% chance.

Wes,

That was October 19,1989. Over 9 inches fell in Indy and 5 in Cincinnati. My area received a dusting to an inch in the lower elevations the next day with 2-4" higher eles. from wraparound/upslope snow showers. One of the earliest measurable snowfalls I've saw.

Another Halloween storm; October 31, '93 featured 1-3" in this area in the lower eles., with a 2 day total(31st/1st) of 3-5". 5-8" fell higher eles. .

That was definitely it. It caused lots of tree damage in Indiana. It had a great double jet structure if I remember right.

He's going to politely tell you that you are full of crap unless you live above 800 feet like he normally does.

[H2O]

the yes votes should start surging today

[Isopycnic]

the yes votes should start surging today

That's a crap chute.

[aldie 22]

That's a crap chute.

Speaking of.....I'll be right back

[ThePhotoGuy]

I am still sticking to cold tropical rain

[catoctin wx]

the yes votes should start surging today

my problem is with the word "blizzard."

I would have prefered "a life changing event."

[mattie g]

I think I was the first "yes" vote. It was a bit of a sarcastic vote, but it may well have been right.

[Ian]

looks like i might win losers

[mappy]

[WinterWxLuvr]

I think I'll take my chances with a trace at DC and Balt. I'm riding the west trend and thinking the heavier snows will be to the west with increasing elevations. But who knows really.

[Ian]

if you predict everything you'll end up at least partly right

[adelphi_sky]

Not even a trace. I think it will be a cold rain with periods of wet snow.

[WxUSAF]

Not even a trace. I think it will be a cold rain with periods of wet snow.

That is a trace. One snowflake reported in an ob is a trace.

[adelphi_sky]

Oh. I thought we were talking about accumulations (actually sticks).
