Additional snowfall forecasts/guesses

[Ellinwood]

How much ADDITIONAL snow will DCA, BWI and IAD get before summertime weather commences?

Feel free to write-in guesses/forecasts for other regional stations.

5-10"? I'd be down for that. Only takes 1 storm, but I just don't see that the table's going to get set for a SECS this year. I suspect we get 1 or maybe 2 more marginal events (rain to snow or snow to rain) or perhaps a decent clipper.

P.S. Total snowfall thus far at the 3 airports:

BWI: 1.3"

IAD: 1.7"

DCA: 1.7"

I think the BWI measurement from the "big" storm (0.9") is full of sh!t, personally.

I went 1-4.9 for all three locations

I'm throwing a couple of decent events or one good event our way given the highly uncertain pattern (IMO indicitive of potentially wild weather in either direction... emphasis on POTENTIALLY). We would still finish below climo

Agreed.

Way below climo. Before the winter, I was hoping for 12-18" IMBY, which is below climo, but still a respectable fraction of climo. By the end of December, I was hoping to at least get into double digits. I don't think I'll even get that now, barring the BethesdaWx blizzards.

DCA: 1.0- 4.9"

BWI: 5.0-9.9" (and probably towards the low end)

IAD: 5.0-9.9" (and probably towards the low end)

[H2O]

this. We will be way below climo for the season. The trend is our friend

The forecast I originally submitted to our work office pool was for 8.2 inches for the season....and I'm sticking to it (for no real reason other than to be stubborn).

I agree, it should've been over an inch. But its better than their original 0.4 inch measurement at least...

I went for an additional 0.1-0.9 at BWI and DCA, and 1.0-4.9 at IAD. I think the rest of this winter is gonna suck big time. I hope I'm wrong!

I'm waiting for one particular poster on here to lock in his vote for 20+ at all 3 airports... LOL

Good call back then. Gonna be even worse when we hit the under on that low amount.

[Fozz]

DCA: 1.0- 4.9"

BWI: 5.0-9.9" (and probably towards the low end)

IAD: 5.0-9.9" (and probably towards the low end)

This.

Even 07-08 was better than how I think this non-winter will turn out.

[EastCoast NPZ]

Put me down for a solid 0.0" for IAD and points west. I'd bet that points east see a little more before it's all said and done.

IAD: 0.0"

DCA: .9"

BWI: 2.3"

Somebody, please take this winter out-back behind the barn and put a bullet in it.

does this "contest" close at some point?

[Ian]

im tempted to go 20"+ at DCA and 0" at the other locations. examining the JPO and LFO i see the potential for a short but intense supercell snowstorm over DCA on March 23rd from an advancing downward pintathomy in the elevated obstorifude.

Great. now I have to go google this word just to see if this is a serious post

[North Balti Zen]

Really?

If the obstorifude were to elevate, it would be without precedent...

[Ellinwood]

Wasn't designing it to be a contest, so I'll just leave it open. I guess if people want to claim "bragging rights" they should probably have their votes cast by Feb. 1st.

I think the genious of it is that it isn't a word but sounds like it is. sort of like saying the secondary ageostrphic circulation of the slow manifold leads to cyclogenesis. All the terms above have been used in journal articles but when combined are meaningless but sound like you are saying something profound.

Kind of like the books I read when I was in grad school for history. You want to talk about jibberish...

[PrinceFrederickWx]

I can't help but think of this when I keep seeing all the joke posts stringing big words together into meaningless sentences. Imagine a skit with this guy doing long range weather.

[Deck Pic]

Even if I get just 15" I will be all over BB's nuts.

[WinterWxLuvr]

I went big with my votes, mainly because it felt good to do it.

[mappy]

I find it funny that BB hasn't voted for 20+ for all three locations

Sig worthy

[WVclimo]

I think its not unreasonable to expect a 3-6" storm in mid February and another 2-4" in early March. Even bad Ninas are usually good for that.

[brad1551]

I went with:

DCA= 5.0-9.9"in

IAD= 5.0-9.9"in

BWI= 1.0-4.9"in

I am guessing the snow will come in a 2-3 events. Wet heavy snow, but I will take it.

[ohleary]

DCA: 1.0"-4.9"

BWI: 1.0"-4.9"

IAD: 5.0"-9.9"

Reasoning: I live in Reston.

[Ellinwood]

Where you at, BB? Gotta lock in those 20"+ numbers!
