thunderman Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Nasty dry slot looks to run around 95. Will be interesting to see how far north it gets. Models keep it out of DC area, but it gets close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I would say 'write it off' but we thought we should write off the NAM and...here we are. Agreed. We are getting crushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 That LWX map actually just cut DC's snowfall back to 6 to 8, after briefly upping it to 8 to 10. But can we just agree to ban it. Really is pointless. In fact, entire weather service system for conveying accumulations needs major, major upgrade or its pointless. So much conflicting info from same source, and changes too frequently. really does a disservice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats definitely a concern of mine. The dry slot sorta shows up on RAP but its not too aweful. If it's bad it could cut totals a good bit but still would be a big storm here.
