Bob Chill Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 12z rap looks good again @ 500 / 700 for a 2 hour period of "decent" snow. At least it's going to fall when it's daylight or when I'm not supposed to be asleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 i feel like the radar doesn't look too bad...not as bad as i thought...maybe my expectations were pretty low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterymix Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Investing so much time in total crap events is embarrassing. lol Not a single event worth losing sleep over this winter and the models have been reasonable. It has been generally a dry, blustery winter. Today's event should drop visibility to the range of 1 1/2 to 3 miles for two hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it's going to fall when it's daylight or when I'm not supposed to be asleep. What I'm looking at suggests "heaviest" (or not-lightest) between 3 and 6 this evening?

87storms Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 it would be kinda funny if the the dc snow hole was just a little glitch in the products the whole time. i can wish. the echoes around dayton are promising: http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=ILN&product=N0R&overlay=11101111&loop=yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I'm going to the Wizards game tonight with my son to see my Timberwolves play...debating on driving or metro Whew! for a minute there I thought you were going to watch the wizards. That's a really tough call. It depends on how empty the offices are today and how many folks bail early. You're going the opposite way for the most part but from the 14th br on in it could be a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...maybe if school gets out early we will just go then...as it stands now we are leaving at 4:30...so it's either drive right there or to Tysons to catch the metro.

RodneyS Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 The title of this thread reminds me that it was 26 years ago that a two-day storm on these dates produced 9.2 inches of snow at DCA. That storm followed a storm on January 22nd that produced 10.8 inches of snow at DCA. So, the combined snow total for that "Double Whammy" was an even 20 inches. So,if we can over perform during the current event and get 19.6 inches of snow out of it at DCA, that -- combined with the 0.4 inches that DCA received yesterday -- will equal the Double Whammy. That concludes the (attempted) humor portion of this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I didn't dig too deep so this analysis could be wrong but it looks like the nam is hanging back the surface and 700 low just enough to get us into some extra lift from waa precip. Kinda screws the mason dixon crew but I have little compassion left in me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
