PhineasC Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Wes is in a pretty bad spot if you want to capture marginal events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedtobe Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 hopefully you include 1-3" events..pretty fruitless in DC chasing after 6"+ events I'm not big on inch or less events or flurries. I'll be happy with 2 or 3 inches but right now think we'll have to wait for the cold air which I still thinnk won't be until after Dec 15th though I guess we could get a brief incursion before the trough shifts east.

I agree that Dec 15 seems reasonable considering how this winter has gone so far....gives us plenty of time to prepare and discuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtstack Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I don't usually care about many weather events outside of VA, but that storm modeled on the GFS tonight for Minneapolis next week would be one hell of a monster. I would think it would could challenge all time records up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozz Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 He needs to move N&W, his area is just about the worst location in our entire area to get snow. I live in NNE compared to him. Maybe if he moved he would not poo poo every storm to come along. It's a lousy spot for snow......so is College Park (4" from the psuhoffman storm when I was there ). I think wes has family where he lives and that obviously trumps weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BristowWx Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Need to wait to late January to get excited....It is possible that between the -PNA and pumped up SE ridge the I95 crew never get measurable snow or true arctic air despite the AO and NAO. Not one model shows any real snow threat or true arctic for most of our area thru 20 Jan...but I am hoping to be very wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usedtobe Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Euro reduces jyo qpf from .12 to 01 in one run right before the event With the vort going to the north and no real surface low that is what you would expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterymix Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Euro reduces jyo qpf from .12 to 01 in one run right before the event With the vort going to the north and no real surface low that is what you would expect. Given the fact that we have dry air masses during a relative drought, an over-performance would be an upgrade from flakes in the air to a just barely noticeable light dusting.

Subtropics Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Seeing flakes falling is a victory tonight imo. Cautiously optimistic about end of Jan and February. Live and die by the CFS2 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Moderate shower of sleet pellets the way this "winter" is unfolding for us in 2013 - I am beginning to wonder if we will see less snow than last winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmeddler Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 DC looks like it's in a bit of a thump. My best guess based on Dual-Pol would be RASN or PLRA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtropics Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 A bit colder and this front batch could of been decent. Should help to wet-bulb us though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmeddler Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 It's so close to being snow... It's fat drops. I'm probably only 100-200ft in elevation from seeing flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MineralFrosty Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Expected high today 69, actual high 48 Ahhh, meant to stick that in the CVA thread, but ya get what I'm saying. Wearing shorts and a short sleeve shirt playing golf sucked yesterday. Fog lifted only to reveal a giant blanket of overcast coldness, departure from forecasted high failure and a half!
