Bob Chill Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 plus the low is uber weak at this pt.. not even closing isobars on the ncep maps except briefly on nam That's a darn good thing too. GFS showing very light e-se flow @ the surface. That is not ideal at all but considering how weak the low is it could easily end up being more n-ne. A bit of a surface flow battleground between the weak low and hp to the n and nw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtracker Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I think DC proper is gonna be the battle zone.... Could be a stark contrast between what say, the mall receives and what houses in 16th st heights see Holla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, we aren't very far away from decent snow on practically every model. We just need to be a tad lucky. This time it doesn't have to be a miracle. Maybe the EC delivers a two year past due Christmas present in a couple of hours. BTW, great to see the positivity in here. Hope it lasts. It's more fun to be hopeful than realistic anyway.

PhineasC Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Euro will be dry and warm. I could see it showing mid-40s in DC during the "height of the storm." Would be a classic Euro move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Damn, crippling blizzard in Westminster. Anyway, this looks to have some potential. As per the usual, areas N/W of the beltways will do the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
