NattyBo Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 When Bob Chill gets excited about a snow, I know it's go time for me, since I live essentially down the street IIRC.

mdhokie Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I'm thinking 6-8" IMBY. That seems to be more than what many services are forecasting, so we'll see how that does. Same here. I figure if we aim for the low end, I'll be surprised if we get more. 6" out of 2" of liquid is going to be like shoveling potatoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 I note that nobody is talking about today's temps since they blasted through the modeled highs. There was weather today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I note that nobody is talking about today's temps since they blasted through the modeled highs. temp was 45 here at home when I walked in the door. 43 now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 BWI briefly reached 42. Spent a good majority of the day in the 30s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I note that nobody is talking about today's temps since they blasted through the modeled highs. It did? I was supposed to be 44 up here and I think that's about where we landed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the most confident I've felt since the first Feb 2010 storm. That deform band is going to make weenies fall out of chairs while watching radar loops. Some might even take cover in a lower level. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Also, I am getting worried I may not get my 4 feet of snow. Can someone allay my concerns? I really need all 4 feet for his to be a meaningful storm. kthxbai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clueless Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 wait, you didn't find the comment that models were trending toward pointing toward a significant MA snowstorm but that there were still unknowns that had to be determined yet to be a useful one in the analysis thread? Yeah. That was brilliant. But he posted it also on the storm thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I actually just moved a *wee* further down the road from you (still in City of Rockville), but I'm excited for my son. He wasn't quite 2 for the 2009/2010 storms. He's past 4 1/2 now so this is going to be his first real epic snow to play in really. We're not jackpot, but with luck and a deform band or two..

North Balti Zen Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Go to SNE. don't they still have 4' on the ground? I don't want to go to Mt. Tolland. Seems like a creepy place. Also, the point and click on noaa.gov now says rain/snow for Wednesday. So...be prepared for weenie suicides over that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 It did? I was supposed to be 44 up here and I think that's about where we landed. The NWS probably did a better job. Yesterday's NAM 18z/00z was 40 for DCA, and it is 45 right now. No effect on the storm, just an aside that we often get people excited that it is below modeled temps therefore that somehow means something to a storm that is half the country away.

clueless Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Those maps were SICK. I got giddy. I am sober now. We have more than enough precip, I ain't worried about temps. Plenty of snow for everyone even if you start discounting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clueless Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 that's the only place he posted it. I copied it here to mock him.the storm thread needs a lot less of people talking just to hear themselves talk, IMBY queries, past snowstorm talk, add your own categories... Lol. Even worse.

clueless Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 45!! 45!! We're f**ked. I was in Paris in March sometime back. In a week it snowed, had the city in heavy fog, and then became so warm that everyone was jacket- less eating ice cream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 The warnings for this system have really expanded over Ohio, and for some stout snow totals for them. Dayton to Columbus now in the 5-8 inch warning area, both places were only at advisories previously for 2-4. So the storm is forecast to be stronger and wetter over those places than originally thought. Not sure if good for our area, but it feels like a good sign in terms of the strength of the storm.

WinterWxLuvr Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I just looked at DTs fb page. I dont have fb but I can see his remarks over the course of the day. About all you can say is wow. Add in the fact that his first call map yesterday was a virtual copy and paste of the HPC map, and you've got some strange postings by a supposedly outstanding met.

gymengineer Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 how does Boston get more snow than us from a Mid Atlantic only storm? Were you upset that they had 3 other 12" snowstorms besides the blizzard during 95/96? I don't get why we would care that they get in on two blizzards instead of just one.
