WinterWxLuvr Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Every threat thread should have a final post that Bob Chill is an idiot and then locked. Oh no, you don't get to lay claim to that title. I'm in the running. I've learned though. From now on, in my little forecast that's bouncing around my brain, I'm forever going with the model that shows the least precip. I'm not getting NAM'd or RAP'd again.

EastCoast NPZ Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 It's pretty pathetic when you can predict 1/2 the average normal climo snowfall for the month of February, yet still bust high by 800%.

PrinceFrederickWx Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 If BWI gets no more accumulating snow this winter, we will have: Lowest consecutive 2-year period of snow ever Tied for first- lowest consecutive 3 year period of snow ever Longest consecutive period (4 years) without late season accumulating snowfall (which I define as March or April).

midatlanticweather Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 To the tune Turn by the Byrds: For Every Model run the output turns turns turns Into a disaster for the short term term term And every weenie hope turns into a disaster A model that showed snow now says no A model that had precip now is just a little bit The surface does torch The amount is small on your front porch But its OK because the 10 day still shows a chance. For every wennie, he holds out hope hope hope Even though Wes says nope nope nope nope Maybe something new on the next runs after eleven.... The pattern looks good but some part still looks bad It get cold but then it gets dry It gets wet, but then it gets warm. The pattern has not changed and we hope its not too late! -------------- Ok - my indrect rant on the stinky pattern! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevWarReenactor Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 LOL! That was good. I don't know why people continue to torture themselves. It's over. I don't care what the models say. They have showed "potential" the entire winter. We are heading into March during a year that found every single possible way to avoid having it snow here. We aren't going to turn it around. Lets just write off the last three years and head into spring with the idea that we are unlikely to see such a snowless period again in our lifetimes.

FrederickWX Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 There was one weak Nina in the middle of a bunch of ninos and neutrals. If we got an enso stretch like that we'd do well again. Maybe not like the 60s but no winter worse than 8" and most 10-12 or better. Do you still think we have a shot at anything for March or early April? Or have you thrown in the towel?

FrederickWX Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Now I am going to demand a really nice rainstorm which, apparently, we can't even get. I would be happy with a nice rainstorm where we get 2 or 3 inches in about 24 hours. Wash all the chemicals off the road from local governments over-treating for marginal or non-existent events. Of course, asking for a good rainstorm like that - it's about as likely as a good snow storm at this point. The last good rainstorm was the front that came through in late January (after two days of 70 degree weather) with hours of heavy rain and some thunder. Since then, it's been pretty dry with the nickle and dime crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravel roads out here will be dusty again by tomorrow. Mostly sunny day here. Mark it down, Tuesday will bring 1/2" plus for most of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I've thrown in the towel on some storm magically popping over us.....if the models dont show some complex from the south with a closed ULL, i am pretty sure it aint happening....we are still pretty far out though...the models may not have something after 240 yet looks like your temp call for feb will be pretty solid.

FrederickWX Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 looks like your temp call for feb will be pretty solid. February has been solidly below normal. First half of March is looking that way as well. Maybe even beyond that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 February has been solidly below normal. First half of March is looking that way as well. Maybe even beyond that. Yeah looks that way. Climo is tough soon if not already. Day like this you can feel spring exerting some influence. In some ways a cool spring is nice.. Keeps the flowering going longer as long as there aren't too many hard freezes. Next few nice sunny days might get some trees in motion in the city.

nw baltimore wx Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 If we can't get snow then I'm glad to see the middle of the country getting it. They need all the snow cover they can get to help with the drought. Maybe I'm finally growing up. my stalker is still at it on twitter. he's a coward. someone who posts here.. just not sure who. I'm sure that I'm a suspect so I'll just tell you now that I don't have a twitter account. I'd rather bully in person. Some people have too much time on their hands.
