CranberryWX Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 1-3 Inches by Tuesday morning in forecast...chance to see my first snow. Wind is gusting up to 30mph. Temp was up to 60F, but starting to fall off now. Felt like a spring day out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedtobe Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I live in DC and like snow and the Redskins. I must be a masochist on some subconscious level. Well I like snow, the skins and the wizards, I wonder what hat makes me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad1551 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 If you like snow, I see why everyone is upset so far this winter has been rough all around the board for abov avg temps. Look winter has only been around for a couple weeks. Might not be a the best winter, but I believe that our 1st snow will be at or near the end of January. Our biggest storm will be at or near the end of Febuary. Please be patient, we will get snow I promise. " Look last weeks euro showed a big snowstorm for the mid Atlantic - Northeast. Maybe that was a sign of something coming later in the year. Just trying to give hope to the ones who have lost it. HAPPY NEW YEAR- 2012 to everyone.

Unseld was very good and so was hayes and Dandridge. Lost time. Their a skeleton of what they used to be. They have had their share of excellent talent. They sure can't complain about that. 18z show some snow about 189 hr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avdave Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 it could be worse, we could live in Cumberland http://www.erh.noaa....wx/winterstorm/ Meh, that is normal in LES events there, You need to go to Clarysville, Md just west of LaVale/Cumberland and you start climbing and once you hit MD 36 outside Frostburg, you are golden with LES. God knows when I lived out there, i would drive up and over Big Savage to Grantsville and back to get my snow fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God knows when I lived out there, i would drive up and over Big Savage to Grantsville and back to get my snow fix. My favorite drive is to take 40 from the Narrows, through LaVale, Clarysville, Eckhart, Frostburg, and all the way to Grantsville. More fun than running I-68 in LES. That stretch of 40 through Finzel was called "Long Stretch" by the locals for what it might involve in the winter when the wind blew. From the top end of LaVale, you could watch the downslope literally erode the squalls. At Toll Gate House the visibility might be 1/4" mile, and by the time you reached the Police Barracks a mile or so farther east (where weather records were kept for so long) it was a mile in flurries.

Used to take 40 to Uniontown, PA to my grandmother's house. I love that drive with the red colored roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep same thing here Craig. I know that stretch well of 40, it could be filmed for a location in ND in a blizzard and when the snow was whipping sideways up there. Plus the twisting and winding of it made it fun. As for where the snow ends, you are spot on sir. the police barracks I think has moved since then but they used to be on the corner of Campground Rd and Natl Hwy. Even at the country club mall, you can get a few stray flurries from the LES but thats it. Once it came off the front range there it would dry up uber fast. These were in 2005 I think up there in Garrett Co. Drifting is huge up there, way worse than a lot of people east of Cumberland think I think this is in the stretch of the bottom of the hill near Finzel Keysers ridge, MD One of my good friends out there took me out on a drive out there that day and it was unreal with the blowing snow. We have drifted apart so I dont get out there much anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinceFrederickWx Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I'll probably get flamed for this, but I'm starting to think BWI has a legitimate shot at having the first winter ever with no accumulating snowfall, or a winter snowfall total lower than 1949-50 (0.7 inches).

Why do you think this? Aside from the obvious that it hasn't snowed much at all and the prospects look dim and even with an arctic front we still can't get some snow and the models show practically nothing out 15 days out. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck Pic Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Nobody mentioned the 192 hour GFS thing that will almost surely happen? not worth getting into details, but euro has storminess in the 162-216 range....1st is a weaker wave and 2nd is stronger...both have serious temp issues....at best, far north and west burbs/elevation snow with the 1st...2nd storm is an inland track that bombs out north of us but is all rain for everyone at our latitude......mostly PNA driven....especially the bigger storm at day 8/9.....euro wants to develop a big ridge out west again...the rest of the pattern sucks balls...the signs of a good Atlantic are transient....very very fast pattern still....

PDIII Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Safe to say that overall pattern doesnt support it... but both 00z Euro and GFS have something to look at in day 7-9... perhaps a solid high pressure over eastern canada.. hopefully it shows again on the 12z runs. 6z GFS looks much more like what we have seeing thus far this winter... faster pattern. Storm track just to our west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably just coincidence but it seems the 6z is usually the grim reaper of model runs...It seems to crush all hope that was given just 6 hours prior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
