BethesdaWX Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Last thing I want is a crappy severe season (locally) followed by a tame winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 GFS holding onto hope for the 26-28th timeframe. .25 precip looks to be all snow as far as I can tell. Surface above freezing but not by much. 850's are fine. DCA / BWI is the northern edge of the .25 line. Plenty of time for the NW trend so we can end up with a half inch of cold rain. Still quite a ways to go but the rug hasn't been pulled out yet. IF we are going to get snow this month, this looks to be our only chance and it's probably not a good one either.

Bob Chill Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I'm almost never up this late. I guess I gotta hang for another 30 mins and see if some of the 20-25dbz returns to the west of frederick hold together. It's pretty bad when a heavy flurry is keeping me awake. sheesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 6z GFS still has a 28th storm. 0z Euro looks like it would maybe have a storm after the 28th (30th?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showmethesnow Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 The 00Z GFS and Euro ensembles look horrible for snow lovers in the longer range. Both are very similar @ day 10 with a zonal look from Asia across the Pacific into and across the US. Up to day 15 on the GFS doesn't get any better. I was hoping that the very flat look we see develop with the 500's in the longer range was due to some model mayhem with the different members canceling each other out but after looking at the GFS members up to day 8 and their somewhat uniformity on this pattern developing I think that may just be wishful thinking.

The GFS has no cold air with its storm and the operational is the best looking member of the bunch. The pattern still looks really sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 If there's one good thing that comes as a result of no significant snowfalls, it's that we don't have to worry about folks greatly over exaggerating their totals. Gotta love the folks that report totals from the tallest drifts in their yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
