RowanBrandon Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I don't think that's really that unreasonable to ask for 32 degrees and a blizzard one day and then 70 and sun the rest of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a couple where it was 70 on daye then that morning had a couple of inches of snow on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 they are all rain on the nam dc and balt, surface temps are like 35-36 I see some 6-hourly readings as low as 33 for both, so I don't think they're all rain. There is some though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a couple where it was 70 on daye then that morning had a couple of inches of snow on the ground. April 9, 2000 was the best example back home. 76 on Saturday the 8th. Cold front plows through and then a wave rides up along it in its wake, so by the next morning its snowing hard. 4" accumulates. Then that afternoon it rises to 50 and all melts.

There is some though. yea i didn't look at a sounding just based it off the surface temp that was being shown at hr 75 and 78 which has them at 35-36 where .75 qpf falls.. Just west of dc and balt get pummeled. The nam snow maps show nothing in those cities, all the accumulation is west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 i love when people say I'm done with winter lets bring on spring. Then a storm pops up and they get all bent out of shape when it misses, even though they are looking forward to spring... I would be ecstatic for a snowstorm in July or any month, but get most satisfaction when it falls in Dec Jan to mid February and is followed by arctic air and can hang around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get more bent out of shape when a storm pops in March that pours rain and sloppy snow that won't stick. It's pretty much a meteorological waste. Would rather 60's with a squall line.

That's true ray, if we got snow in July there are some serious issues to be concerned about one being the comet that just crashed into earth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGorse Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 o i agree, a snow event in january that is gone the next day or two stinks in my eyes. I noticed that around here during the winter following an accumulating snowfall, there usually is a lot of sunshine. That starts melting the freshly fallen snow in some areas despite cold temperatures. Nothing like seeing nice clean fresh snowcover turn into dirty snow in some areas fairly quick.

The .5-1 inch storms this winter were melted by the time you woke up lol Yeah, but I have seen in years past nearly 12 inches of snow on the ground, then the sun comes out with afternoon temperatures near 30 degrees and some of the snow is already melting and becoming dirty especially along the road sides. I did not really have this issue back in western NY where the lake many times helped hold in the clouds. Maybe we need to put in a large lake just to our west to help generate clouds with a cold northwest flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then a storm pops up and they get all bent out of shape when it misses, even though they are looking forward to spring... Nothing better than a surprise storm after giving up on winter. I see no problem with this, especially after last winter and this one, add this to what happened in 09/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the other reason I care not for long-lasting snow pack... in some areas it never lasts long. Unless its like 10 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombo82685 Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 Just wanted to say this. I don't want people to feel they can't post models or discuss models like the nam,fim,nogaps, jma. This is a weather website and they are weather models as bad as they are. So as long as you provide analysis of them, your posts are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
