Heisy Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 If I'm you guys I'd have my eyes on the Day 7-9 setup, GFS is going to show a storm 2night, will it have enough cold air? We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOt a chance And GFS laughs at us with rain with a L in Quebec and a low in SW VA... An I-95 runner, a new way to screw us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 My take on participating in Winter Weather discussions for the DC area. .I already know it's difficult to get sizable snows in the DC area. It happens, at times hugely, but mostly 4 out of every 5 winters around here produces small amounts of snow and moderate temperatures. So-to me there is really nothing useful is having the conversation dominated by "it's not gonna snow" I already know how tough it is around DC snow wise and there is no talent being used in telling me so. This Friday event has a well placed low pressure and strong high pressure to the north and to me that is something positive and worth talking about. Having a low "favorably" placed and a high to the north can and often does produce rainstorms in this area. First off the location of high isnt that favorable, and there is a low tracking to our NW(that combo alone means cold air is going to be lacking), and secondly there is no blocking or 50-50 to speak of that could allow this to be a colder storm. So no, there really isn't that much positive and worth talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravensrule Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Euro gets the 0.75" contour very close to DC...snow to rain to snow....of course it wont work out, but this run is nuts for 40N So you still think there is almost no chance we get a decent storm down here?.

ravensrule Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 correct..very slight chance Thanks Matt, I may have to go to my in laws in NY if this solution looks like it will come true for them. It's a win win, my wife thinks im a hero and I get to see a huge snowstorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravensrule Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Bwi actually sees 3-4 inches after all I would love to lock that in right now, in these kind of borderline storms me being 30 miles north of BWI usually helps me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swimmatte Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 How does this run compare to the 12z euro run? Certainly better, especially for BWI area. I'm still expecting rain for all with a bit of flakes at the end for some but I refuse to get excited about any trend until the rain/snow line is way to our south. I think......

Yea after what Matt said and reading Will in the NE thread it does not seem likely that the H5 will close off so far south like the Euro is depicting. So it seems like a long shot to get much here.

Wonderdog Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 So the euro continues to lead the way with this storm. Maybe we can hang are hat on the fact that the snow line is getting closer and not farther away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymengineer Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 When Matt listed 2/69 as an analog, I thought what would a repeat of that month be like for the weather-boards. The Mid-Atlantic subforum might have to be shut down by the end of the month 20" at JFK for the Lindsay Storm (another 20"+ for Boston 'burbs), then 27" for Boston late month-- DCA for the whole month? 2.2" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
