Ellinwood Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 http://www.accuweath...st-winter/69820 Yay? Surprise! Mostly nino climo, and of course the 95 corridor has to be in above normal snowfall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Accuwx predicts above-normal snowfall for the I-95 corridor? I'm absolutely stunned at this unprecedented turn of events... Next you're going to tell me that JB is predicting above-normal snowfall for the I-95 corridor. Like THAT's ever happened before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a broken clock is right twice a day, they are bound to be right one of these winters if they call for above average every winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marked8 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Lundberg a few days ago was saying that he thought that this could resemble the winter of '76-'77. I only care about getting near normal snow for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Anybody have a forecast for January 18 yet? The wife is due that day and I need to be prepared for the drive to the hospital in Arlington. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only care about getting near normal snow for once. Any year is technically up for grabs... 76-77 had a weak Nino (after coming out of a strong Nina) and -QBO that matches up with the forecast ENSO fairly well, but it will likely be the opposite in terms of the AMO and PDO this winter.

mattie g Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 JB says 6-12" with lolli's to 18". Crap. I'll start driving the night before - traffic on the Beltway and 66 is going to be a nightmare. But if we have a window, I'll at least be able to watch the snow fall. Oooo! Congrats! I'm due a month before you guys Awesome. Congrats to you, too!

I can't recall a decent event (>4") at BWI that PHL missed outside of 1/30/10 they killed us in 00/01` (~12" vs. 30"+) they killed us 12/25/10 and I can go on but somehow, the numbers don't lie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchnick Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 What about January 25, 2000? Didn't DC/Baltimore do better than Philly? yeah, I believe we did better (I know BWI did), but that sort of proves my point that you have to go back 13 seasons to find 2 storms of note (1/25/00 & 1/30/10) that had PHL substantially less than BWI....but whatever, numbers don't lie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the time it will be small nickle and dime events where the differences play out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it does suck considering how close we are to them relatively speaking. I remember being super frustrated during 01/22/2005, how they got around a foot and I was left with 4 inches just east of DC. But just gotta learn to appreciate whatever we can get.
