Subtropics Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Crazy that we'll be breaking the streak with a big storm like this. Should be a fun upcoming 24 hours It is all or nothing around here now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miller.b.time Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Is anyone else watching TWC right now? Lmao. Jim Cantore has me crying with laughter. YES. This is the fourth time I've seen the tornado/car safety tips on TWC. Watching Cantore run into a ditch, throw himself to the ground, and yell, "I'm in the lowest point of this ditch! Here comes the tornado!" with an agonized look on his face has made this night even better. TWC drinking game, anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Topper Shott on Chan. 9, who was already pretty bullish, just issued his final map. Shifted zones east, including bringing 9 to 12 inch zone into extreme NW tip of DC. https://twitter.com/Toppersweather/status/309142655651160066/photo/1 Sweet, just within the 9-12." Yes, that matters to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Pimpernel Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 It has been a few days since I posted in a different subforum. And even then, I just started posting on Americanwx last month. I presented why I thought DC would underperform. I think the snow that falls will be very heavy and very wet. Water-laden aggregates do not accumulate easy...at least, not as easy as a drier snow. That's a perfectly good explanation for a lower snow total. ...and since when was posting the latest forecast from an official source a bad thing? I'm all for caution (and most people in this forum are about the most cautious, we always wait for the other shoe to drop!). But really, come on. Well respected mets and others in here are pretty well in agreement on a major event. I think we all know we're not going to be getting powder out of this. I got 8" of water-laden aggregates in about 5 hours during Commutageddon in 2011 with temperatures just above freezing throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwonder Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Well it wasn't my intention, if that's how is came across. Contrary to the behavior of much of my generation, I like having educated weather discussions with others. At least he writes in complete sentences for his age.

Hank Scorpio Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 TWC just said that LWX told them they'd be upping forecast totals. That's good, since LWX predicted snowfall actually dictates totals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
