vastateofmind Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Waking up at 330 to feed the baby isn't all that bad when it's snowing Agreed, though I'd almost rather be feeding the baby than taking my 15-yr old to club swim practice at this hour. 33 degrees, about 1.5" on ground and just starting to stick to some pavement. Moderate snow, seems to have picked up in intensity over past 15 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vastateofmind Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Good morning. What radar sites do you guys prefer? I usually flip between Weather Underground's "Wundermap" radar and the standard NWS's LWX loop. Somehow I missed it, but OPM just pulled the plug on feds -- D.C. area offices closed today (unless you're telework-ready, of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vastateofmind Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I don't like the rain. Just woke up. What's going on? There are some concerns about dryslotting and a general bust over in the nowcasting thread...radar was looking spottier (to my weenie eyes) just to my south around EZF about an hour ago, but seems to be filling in more now. Storm's in transition, so patience is a must over next couple of hours. Still snowing moderately where I'm at, dropped to 32, just over 1.5" on ground.

We should hope that something improves wrt to roads shortly. I'm not so optimistic...tho I still think that we can verify accumulations on grass lol.

At least the wife (OPM) and kid (schools) are off today, but that almost feels like salt in the wound now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Yeah. At least the wife (OPM) and kid (schools) are off today, but that almost feels like salt in the wound now... It will be funny if it turns out schools could have stayed open. I am semi optimistic that I see road covered reports popping up on Twitter but not around me yet. Good luck!

EastCoast NPZ Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Watching TWC. Cantore doesn't look too thrilled that he was moved from Front Royal to DC. Al and Stephanie are live from what looks like the parking lot of the Hapmton Inn at the intersection of I66 and Rt 522 N. Heavy snow there (and here) but I haven't heard them say what was on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodhi Cove Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 G'mornin all! Eastern side of Balt. Co.- rain.... About to get ready for the commute across a wind warning Key Bridge to spend what appears to be a rainy day in Curtis Bay. Ha! Poet and didn't know it.. I hope you guys get hammered. However, personally I'm hoping my relief can arrive so I can get my azz home. I wanna see pictures of snowmen. Don't let me down gang! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinylfreak89 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Lots and lots of meltdowns. Wow... why do people do this to themselves. It happens in even some of our best storms. Its like they want the perfect setup with absolutely no worries. Why do we have dicey setups around here? Because of where we are. Storms are often transitioning and redeveloping at our lattitude, so we play with fire a lot. People should know and expect this by now, and not freak out every time things are slightly off modeled or don't look the best and rely on their instincts and good meteorology. If the modeled features were weaker, that is one thing, but we have a double closed contour 500 low with insane vorticity and -10 omegas overhead. Just relax, its coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodhi Cove Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Um if anyone thinks I'm having a meltdown they're wrong. I'm soo ready for Spring. And I'm also excited for everyone who has been let down by the lack of snow. I'm the designated rainer. Send the rain my way. I'll take it and the rest of you can get drunk on the white stuff. Seriously I hope everyone who wants it, gets 18 inches of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminds me of the second Snowmageddon storm. People want to wake up and see a massive dumping, to the point they seemingly forget what the actual forecast that got them excited in the first place was. I just can't believe the immaturity: "I want my snow, and I want it now!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Pretty awesome to listen to the birds chirping while there's a couple inches of snow on the ground with more expected. The best of winter and spring in one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't believe the immaturity: "I want my snow, and I want it now!" It's understandable to an extent. Yes, the heavier stuff isn't supposed to have happened yet, but there was model consensus and good obs to make everyone suspect we'd have had plenty more frozen QPF by now.
