swimmatte Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 But it's a high resolution model? Wouldn't it get better as we get closer? I'm sure dtk could speak more about this, but I thought it's resolution is nowhere near the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 NAM going with 20.9" at DCA? Yeah... no. http://68.226.77.253/text/NAMSFC/NAM_Kdca.txt Pretty sure that is just text output and assuming a 10:1 SR... so take off about 30% and you would get a better idea for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueapple Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 You also wonder if the Jan 2011 event (the last snow event they SHOULD have closed for) will influence them. OPM obviously shouldn't have opened that day, and the weenie would say that the decision to not close that day would make them more trigger-prone for tomorrow.

catoctin wx Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 About Fed Govt -- with telework now common, the idea is they will be more liberal with it and allow unscheduled telework even for marginal events. However they will almost never close. That's the give-and take...you can stay home but you're expected to work from home. I don't know about the 8" rule though. If there is 8" or more the metro won't run above ground, which means the govt is sure to close. The truly ironic part of this all? This is from my agency's internal website: General Interest: Telework Day, Wednesday, March 6, 2013 Go green!! Give your car a rest and telework. On Wednesday, March 6, 2013, the agency will participate in the third annual Telework Week, sponsored by the Mobile Work Exchange (previously the Telework Exchange). The Mobile Work Exchange is a public-private partnership focused on demonstrating the tangible value of telework and serving the emerging educational and communication requirements of the Federal telework community. Employees are encouraged to telework on this day and show support for this nationwide event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMU2004 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I don't really follow him, but I have read some of his stuff before (especially the stuff copied to here). I can't say I'm unhappy that a person as sh**ty as he is busted horribly and is going to get rained on. I do feel bad for the good posters from his area though. I'm not without compassion there. Yea...RIC area always gets grouped in with DT hate. It gets pretty f'ing annoying. I would probably key Ji's car if I ever saw him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BristowWx Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I'm sure dtk could speak more about this, but I thought it's resolution is nowhere near the others. didn't know that...sorry...so we should be fairly excited because the NAM is epic. Is the euro a high resolution model or do we even care what it says in 15mins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozz Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Honestly I'm expecting 4-7" at this point......... euro seems to have been very persistent about not giving too much north of I70 (most likely 3-6 up my way), and the gfs has been trending a bit worse for northern MD, and I can easily imagine the scenario that psuhoffman laid out, of being screwed by redevelopment with precip weakening as it reaches northern MD. The NAM still looks great and very juicy but I've gotta be realistic here, we all know it isn't very trustworthy but who knows..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joc111 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 And another 30% for the NAM being the NAM wrt QPF. Two 30% reductions would trim that to 10.24"; I'm not buying that either. Would I be thrilled with it? Absolutely, but it's not at all realistic with marginal temperatures, ground warmth and microclimate. We'll see.

Mrs.J Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Ok another question. I did not get around to making a snow board, but I do have a yard stick. I want to put it out somewhere and leave it there. I can stick it in the back yard or I can stick it out on the deck, elevated up 11ft. Which would be most accurate? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
