H2O Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 yeah, makes sense. i guess i shouldnt care but sometimes hyperbole is very strong here. it's like the ji thing.. if it's just ji it's funny but if it's everyone the forum sucks.

WinterWxLuvr Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 You know, its really interesting just how consistent the GFS snowfall maps have been. When you look back at the past 24 hours of runs for 12z tomorrow, you can't hardly tell that you are looking at different maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUweathermanDD Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 think Baltimore definitely needs a WWA as models have been consistently printing out 1-3'' of snow for the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 ha...true....I do think this has the potential to be a 1 in 5 year event for parts of the CWA but it may not come to frution.... yeah it could be. you did a good job identifying the potential from range.

WinterWxLuvr Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 We may clear out the skies a bit this afternoon, but I think highs are going to be tough to reach. Looks like we've got a straight northerly flow pushing down on us. Haven't check wind direction though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I've never figured out why anyone cares if there is a warning. It doesn't increase your chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 It's spreading to the general public as well. This is not directly connected but I feel as though naming storms like snowmageddon and such just makes the general public weird about things. Ever since that storm everyone is like ICEMAGEDDON, SNOWMAGEDDON, OMG even if it's not a huge deal. yeah.. blame the canadians http://www.google.com/trends/?q=snowmageddon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 validation for the excitement I guess, but I agree it's the same thing with forecast temps. MOS was in the mid-upper 30s last night. still too high it seems but lower than initial forecasts by NWS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 hmm, down on Skyline Drive at Big Meadows it's 32 degrees at 3274' classic low level cold http://weather.weatherbug.com/weather-safety/online-weather-center/OnlineWeatherCenter.aspx?aid=2843 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is also classic cold air push from the north. Northern Va is anywhere from 8 to 10 degrees colder than places like Charlottesville and Staunton, and as much as 12-18 degrees colder than Lynchburg and Roanoke.

ravensrule Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I am at 22 which should bode well for extended icing for me tomorrow morning. Edit: I was at 22.8, now i am at 24.4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Va is anywhere from 8 to 10 degrees colder than places like Charlottesville and Staunton, and as much as 12-18 degrees colder than Lynchburg and Roanoke. Almost due east of Luray, VA but obviously has elevation. A PWS in Luray has 35/20 right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to go to Towson this morning and it was 30 imby when I left and 28 in Towson when I left when I got back down here, it was 28 so your temp drop is legit (not that I think you're a liar, of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
