Ian Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Back to non-weenie mode finally. Very loud outside, like a sustained tropical system. Feels brutal in the yard with the dogs.

TUweathermanDD Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 If there's good SG in that band, then it should be snowing nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GD0815 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 It won't do any good for snow to fall here overnight. It would never land. Boy is it cold. Barely above 20 at 20.2 and the wind is ripping. Took the dog out for a whiz and thought I was going to die right there. I know we aren't supposed to banter in here, but at this point, this thread is about done. So, this event really makes me realize that I'm ready for this to end. Had it not snowed another flake today, I would have been happy to have just kept what we had this morning. It was absolutely beautiful here. Dense fog, 1.5 inches of snow on literally everything, even some on the roads. This time of year stinks. It's still winter enough for snow, but the sun has just become too much of an enemy by now. It takes a really special event at this point to reap the full benefits of winter weather. Correct me if i am wrong but isnt Feb the snowiest month in DC? How can you punt February as a snow lover?

Feb isnt the snowiest month in DC.. Jan is. We've still got some meat left to the 1"+ snowfall days tho. But the sun etc will undoubtedly make more of a difference every day.

TUweathermanDD Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 It's coming down pretty good. Better than I thought. But not going to do a whole lot unless it gets heavier. You're not even in the meat of it, the part down you just started to get goin, the stuff north of there looks pretty good and if its coming down pretty good now, that n band should do something at least.

TUweathermanDD Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 looks rough I just texted him and said you put this up, btw its pretty funny. He says "it is radar not picking it up." He'll take a video on his drive he said. They're heading back towards Ship after his hockey game, not as intense where he is now, was back towards HBG.

RodneyS Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Feb isnt the snowiest month in DC.. Jan is. No, it's February. The total amount that has fallen historically (beginning in the winter of 1884-85) in each of those months in DC, according to my numbers is: January: 723.0 inches February: 726.9 inches That's not much of a difference, but you also have to take into account that January has 31 days every year, whereas February averages 28.25. Adjusting for that, February has averaged 10.4% more snow per day than January. The picture is similar for the past 30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard92 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 He is right. Radar is not picking it up, although our local WGAL radar sure is. Moderate to heavy snow is occurring across the Harrisburg area with widespread 1-3in amounts occuring. Just 20mi north of Harrisburg whiteout conditions with reports of 3-5in of snow have just been reported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I'm marginally interested in the moco and Carroll co bands simply because it is in the mid 20s and maybe it can coat the ground. radar is getting a bit better still. i do think there could be some ground coatings etc.. i just thought the hrrr/etc were overdone mainly.

WinterWxLuvr Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Correct me if i am wrong but isnt Feb the snowiest month in DC? How can you punt February as a snow lover? First off, I'm not in DC. Second, it depends upon what you like. I like winter scenes. Sure I love snow FALL as much as anyone, but I like the landscape to be a winter one. That's tough to pull off this time of year. It takes a good snow and a considerably colder than normal airmass to do it. . I agree. That made post made no sense. I can see starting to worry about sun angle on Feb. 25. But not Feb. 11. I don't know why you would key in on that date, but just so you know, the sun angle tomorrow is over 10 degrees higher than it is in Jan. The next time you get a snow and its gone by 9 the next morning, or the next time you get snow all day long and not one flake of it accumulates, don't worry about your sun angle. I'm sure that's not the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
