EastCoast NPZ Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 absolute failure here. haven't seen a flake yet despite being under returns for several hours. i'm ready to move on from this winter. just not intersted anymore in putting hope in clippers that might get us .10" of qpf, and if it even happens the snow either doesn't stick or melts at first light. sooner this winter is behind us the sooner we get to fall.

Solo2 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Utter fail. Next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevWarReenactor Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I thought this one showed the most promise, turns out it showed the most failure. Under some nice radar returns up here on the MD/De border....full blown virga storm. So dry outside. This one is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Good snow in the ma is now like the hottest girl at the bar. Everybody talks about it and thinks about it but nobody gets anything except a tease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalcottWx Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Comical is the salt trucks on standby around Balt City. Saw three around various parts of Towson/NE Balt area idling and waiting to attack the flakes. They presalted a ton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Utter fail. Next. This one was an abysmal showing by some models (at least at about 24 hours). The SREFS and the RAP in particular. Even the NAM had me over a tenth. I didn't really watch any of these today, so they may have given a heads up. I suppose it's not fair to call a storm collapse a model failure. It's like the northern extent just disappeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevWarReenactor Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Very very tiny flakes now, looks like dust. So sad this is what this winter has come to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I'm over winter and this hobby. Today was one cutter after another and it didn't phase me like it usually does. I've hit acceptance. It's almost march and my level of interest is waning. However if I think snow is coming...I'll embrace it 120% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amped Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I was wondering how anything was going to fall with the T/TD spread. Saw a few microflakes, or maybe it was just dust in the wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 This is just terrible, this clipper was our very last chance. It's dying. That dry air is killing it. Next up is a two stream phaser that'll rain us to death then plaster central and northern New England with at least a foot of wind driven fresh pow pow. Then the west gets a massive trough, as we get another massive warmup and probably more severe wx. This clipper was our very last chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonjon Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Up to 29 degrees out here. A much more "wet" snow than I've seen in a while. Probably around 5 new inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonjon Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 What's it been like there the past week. Is 5" a typical day? Maybe since Thursday, and maybe a bit more than that. Pull up link in my sig, it shows the numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighStakes Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 The whining is abysmal This may very well be the worst clipper I've ever seen. We have partly cloudy skies, visible stars and extremely light snow falling with no radar returns. I can't believe how fast the radar dried up. What snow lover wouldn't be whinng.

wxmeddler Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Major bust is in the forecast here in PA south of the turnpike... Ps.

Jebman Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I'm just sick with disappointment. Now we get 2 weeks of mild. By the time we have a chance of colder, it is Feb 19. Then we gotta salvage something super super fast. This is like the 49ers last night at the superbowl with seconds left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
