Ian Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I could try to wax eloquent about blending climo and ensemble guidance and pattern recognition, but at this point I am pretty much bear hugging whatever the Euro says in 30-45 minutes euro hasnt been that consistent yet.. tho we're due to be in the max stripe i guess.

aldie 22 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 the date is pretty problematic for us given the setup and pattern...maybe we can get an inch.... I wonder what the frequency is for DC to have a winter month both above average in snow and temps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtracker Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I could try to wax eloquent about blending climo and ensemble guidance and pattern recognition, but at this point I am pretty much bear hugging whatever the Euro says in 30-45 minutes I'm with you on that for this situation. Obviously, this isn't an October situation where it's harder to snow with marginal cold, but it's not like we have a monster hp around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtracker Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 the date is pretty problematic for us given the setup and pattern...maybe we can get an inch.... I'd put 2 inches as max potential for us with this setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravensrule Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I'd put 2 inches as max potential for us with this setup. In DC, 2 inches on Dec 8th is alot of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I wonder what the frequency is for DC to have a winter month both above average in snow and temps? quick review shows BWI did it in 12/07, but I'm in no mood to want this DEC to look anything like that one EDIT: DCA did it too, barely as to snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I'd put 2 inches as max potential for us with this setup. max is higher than that... but we'll likely get way less than 2" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozz Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 max is higher than that... but we'll likely get way less than 2" What about IAD/Leesburg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 What about IAD/Leesburg? throwing out numbers right now is kind of foolish. but, more than dca... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 max is higher than that... but we'll likely get way less than 2" I wouldn't mind just an inch.. a stretch I know, but even a simple inch of snow on the grass would be really nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaltimoreWxGuy Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I dont think the 12z CMC would result in much...540 line never makes it to DC and Balt, and the precip is light for the most part... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 throwing out numbers right now is kind of foolish. but, more than dca... both Dec 09 and Oct took forever and a day to start seeing a changeover. 2" would be huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethesdaWX Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 quick review shows BWI did it in 12/07, but I'm in no mood to want this DEC to look anything like that one EDIT: DCA did it too, barely as to snow Ninos don't apply in relevance And in reality it was just a crapload of sleet which isn't as affected accum-wise in the DCA melt-o-climate.

BethesdaWX Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 07-08 was a Nina and that snow from Dec 07 came from a strong clipper. I think he was referring to 06/07, 07/08 shouldn't have turned out above average at DCA from what I remember about it at least out this way. Edit: Oh you mean in December Alone?

MN Transplant Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 In DC, 2 inches on Dec 8th is alot of snow. Since 1950, the cumulative total of Dec. 8th snowfall at DCA is 4". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravensrule Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Since 1950, the cumulative total of Dec. 8th snowfall at DCA is 4". Wow i never thought it would be that low, so 2 inches would be almost like a MECS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
