WinterWxLuvr Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 The RAP is doing its usual pulsing between runs towards the end of its range. It's probably not that useful until after 10 pm tonight. I've noticed this very thing as well. Seems like it wavers and then heads back to what it showed in the 13-18 hour range. Sometimes it has come back wetter. I guess every situation is unique however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Thundersnow ala 1980something. What year was that? 86? i remember we had a storm in 1985'ish that brought thunder. i can't tell if the 80s were just better for consistent snow or if i was just a kid and everything seemed bigger.

I wasn't alive in the 80s, but while it wasn't a particularly snowy decade, it was a much colder decade with a lot of great Arctic outbreaks which meant that snow that fell stayed on the ground for a while.

87storms Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 looks like the 80s had greater than 10" in 7 of the winters whereas only 6 greater than 10" since 2000. the 60s and 70s look snowy, too. combine that with the colder temps and you have winters that look and feel more like winter. http://www.erh.noaa.gov/lwx/climate/dca/dcasnow.txt here's some temp data (freakin' 2012 was like 4 degrees warmer in the 2nd half of the year than any other year since 1871): http://www.erh.noaa.gov/lwx/climate/dca/dcatemps.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Going with persistence. The writing is already on the wall this "winter". I expect a coating on my car top at most. Best dendritic growth is over DCA, where it should be. I'll see a 14 second flurry and be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighStakes Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I was 7 at the time, was that the one with a lot of ice storms? Not really, mostly snow that year. There were also a couple severe cold outbreaks in Jan. Snow totals weren't that impressive at the airports but they were decent. Suburbs did very well. Several moderate to significant storms and long periods of snow cover. There was one ice storm where freezing rain fell on top of a 8 inch snowpack, afterwards when the a front came through it froze so solid you walk on top with breaking through. January that year had the famous Air Florida crash and the AFC championship game between the Bengals and Chargers played in bitter cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
