wxtrackercody Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 You guys are focusing too much on the moisture content and not the temperatures themselves. As I've been told, water-laden aggregates (clusters) of snow don't accumulate effectively, which makes perfect sense. You just get a slushy mess. It'd be different if temperatures were a bit cooler.

Scuddz Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 TWC just ran the RPM, just nuts, showed the R/S line setting up farther east and insane totals. They pay for it, might as well plug the heck out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terpsnation Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Weenie question: the latest models/expert nowcasting - when will this thing start ripping in DC? I went away for a few hours, and it seems to have switched from a "mostly tomorrow" storm to a "mostly tonight" storm. I'm a few drinks in, need to determine if I should moderate myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there will be more up here than "a slushy mess". Good lord. I'm not saying the event will end up "a slushy mess" I'm just stating that's what having a very wet, heavy snow in a marginal temperature environment tends to bring. I do think there will be substantial snow in DC, but probably not over 6" like most are indicating, and definitely not over 9", "dude". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
