swimmatte Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Why is this payback? We're talking about NE, whose annual SN is 3-4 times ours. This should be expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurojosh Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 And they'll get 3-4 times our average... in 36 hours, if NAM is to be believed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimmatte Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I should rephrase to emphasize that a storm this size would not be expected but to be surprised about NE getting a big storm while we get nothing is like complaining about the plains getting tornados.

MDstorm Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Thank goodness for sub-forums. We can talk about future fantasy snow here, while others can talk about historic real snow. MDstorm Edit: I think this says it all.....over 1000 people on this weather board now, but a mere 20-30 in this sub-forum. Next week this will just be a bad memory and at least I won't be stuck in my house for days and my back won't be sore and my work won't be disrupted and ......(add in more rationaliizations).

MN Transplant Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Why is this payback? We're talking about NE, whose annual SN is 3-4 times ours. This should be expected. I don't know that fretting about Boston or S. NH or western Mass is appropriate, but if NYC gets hit again, that will be a bunch of major storms that have hit them and missed us since 2/10/10. Just checking Central Park (slightly higher ave. than IAD) 20"+ in late Feb '10 20" Boxing Day '10 Almost 20" from our Commutageddon in late Jan '11 And while the city didn't cash in, Oct. '11 was big nearby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheesyPoofs Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I should be getting 10"+ here at school in POU. Instead, I have to come home to MD this weekend (tomorrow morning first thing), and there is absolutely no getting out of it. This makes it hurt even more.

'11 was big nearby I don't think 2/10 really belongs here considering that it was a snowy winter for the entire Mid-Atlantic, so it was likely for them to get in a storm we didn't after they missed out on 2/5-6. It's kind of like how we don't complain about missing out on 12/18-20/95 considering what happened the rest of the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I gotta say, I am getting effin' tired of the "this is payback for '09/'10 stuff". We were historically effed in the years prior to that with not much snow from 06 - 09, and we have been similar since that one six week run of goodness in 09/10. Generally, not to sugar coat, this is supreme bull**** in terms of being shafted, and it kinda pisses me off. Yes, I can't control the weather. Whatever. But its crap to think that years of **** systems are some kind of cosmic payback for one decent snowfall period. We should be doing better than this. For years now.

ravensrule Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I do. Figured, that is why you will get 3 flurries with the backlash snow. Don't be bitter because you road tripped last week to a place that is now getting over a foot . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchnick Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 40N is funny...basically a complete dismissal and basically ignoring of the GFS and hugging the NAM whose solution is ludicrous, especially for NJ and NYC..even though most of them know the NAM sucks....GFS - convective feedback issue, SE bias etc, and other excuses.....Not saying the GFS is right....but lol gfs thru 21 hrs keeps looking better and better for a miracle down our way.....a small miracle for sure, but a miracle nonetheless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 gfs thru 21 hrs keeps looking better and better for a miracle down our way.....a small miracle for sure, but a miracle nonetheless and then it promptly cuts east after 21 hrs lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Not sure about soundings, but surface temps are above freezing at 36 when it shows some precip with cold 850s. Clown maps show 1" for central/northern MD. If I was in Harford or Cecil counties, I'd have a bit of hope...NAM, GFS, Euro (0z) and SREFs all show 1" or more.
