andyhb Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Gotta love how so many mets hold out till the last minute.. "still early. don't worry" heh Inb4 low topped squall lines and poor mid level lapse rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 If this storm fails to produce 2" in DCA I will cancel what has fallen and give them credit for an honorary snowless winter. Getting 1-2" when 8-12 was forecaster the night before is epic suckage, the likes of which no winters have recent times. could accomplish. And other subforums still wonder why everyone south of the MD line is a troll? this is a very difficult place to live if you enjoy snow. too many ingredients are needed which is why we only average 15" or so and as we know, that's largely due to our big winters. if i end up staying in this area long-term i'm going to need to reconsider where i want to live (maybe more towards the west or northwest).

ThePhotoGuy Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 lol This Afternoon Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Patchy fog. High near 35. Windy, with a north wind 25 to 28 mph, with gusts as high as 39 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 3 to 7 inches possible. Tonight Snow, mainly before 3am. Areas of fog before 9pm. Low around 34. Breezy, with a north wind 18 to 25 mph, with gusts as high as 36 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible.

87storms Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 the most frustrating part is that the radar just looks fantastic. 5 degrees colder and we're not even having this discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Yeah, when I went to sleep at 1:00 AM with snow starting to fall it seemed like this was a sure bet but in hindsight I am wondering why I expected anything other than what is happening. Well said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Bunch of people at work asked me about this yesterday and I put the kibosh on DC and close-in suburbs due to it being over 50 degrees at the time. Then I thought I was gonna look like a fool at midnight last night, and I was jumping with joy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amped Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 the most frustrating part is that the radar just looks fantastic. 5 degrees colder and we're not even having this discussion. When it snows BL temps always cool to just above 32F. it takes a lot more cooling to get the temp down from 33-31 that it does to get the temp down from 43-41.

sonickteam Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 This is worse than getting dry slotted. I literally just said that to a co-worker. Dry slotting would be preferrable to this crap. I silently sat pretty pressimistic about this anyway, but still feels like a low blow. some people are still confident things will get better and at least salvage a pretty evening.

87storms Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 we might not be completely out of the woods yet, though...i still think a couple of inches are possible if we can get some sustained good rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisy Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 DC & Philly absolutely suck. Philly had a similar storm in November where 24hrs out models showed heavy rates producing 6-12" even with marginal air. You know the rest of that story. Our fortunes will change eventually. Just sucks that in this hobby you need to take 8 month breaks in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
