Jan 17-18th disco thread--1st big threat of the year

Correct and I don't remember exactly who (maybe matt??) but someone on this board chased that storm and posted pics.

There was a storm last February (?)...it was during one of the few brief cold shots...stayed surpressed and hit CHO and EZF pretty hard if I recall (WSW criteria).  I think flurries made it to a DC-Annapolis line and that was about it.  Someone else mentioned it earlier in this thread.  Got some parts of central VA up to near climo snowfall for last winter.

Yep, and that storm missed Richmond. We've been missed every which way you can count.

Deform band set up shop about 20 miles north of downtown, maybe 15 miles north of me... I got about 1.5-2" out of it, so it wasn't a total bust for me.

Surprised they pulled the trigger so soon. I was expecting something later this evening. Now I'm interested.

That's beautiful.  Might have just brought a tear to my eye. :weenie:

WSW includes Howard County. Seems a little bullish, no?

 

As has been stated - it is always possible for the storm to edge a bit farther north. It is also possible that the gradient won't be so tight as the models are showing. PLUS, it is only a WATCH - they can downgrade to an advisory if they need to. :)

My main focus was on the "possible" - ;) This is very encouraging, though.

I think that's just standard txt if they arent expecting mix etc. We need that to verify a warning.
