mattmfm Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 im talking the industry as a whole.. the idea that models are so good we live in a post-surprise world. i dont need to get into fights with people upset about snow tho.. let it play out a bit longer. over recent days plenty said repeatedly that west was near a slam dunk.. this area was tricky. Meh, not terribly affected either way, did just enjoy 30" up in SNE a few weeks back. More for the rest of DC. On topic, radar has a great look, and actually can see the formation of the pivot band right over the metro. How it plays out, and whether it'll stick, guess we'll see.

miller.b.time Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Just woke up from a bit of sleep. Live in a third-floor apt. that faces some trees on the S side of CHO. Out of the corner of my eye just saw what I thought was lightning. Nope. Transformers blowing. Really sick aqua-tinted flashes with these deep, visceral buzzing sounds--at least three of them. Haven't heard/seen that since the derecho. Can hear trees cracking all over. Probably won't have power for too much longer. But what a show on the way out!

lsukev Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Glancing at the NAM, the storm is in a transition period, as the low over the mountains should be transferring to the coast shortly. I would assume that once it cranks up, game on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 There are some pictures of snow covered roads on Twitter from around the US 50/I-66 area. Martin Cornick (who posts on here) also had some nice pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nflwxman Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Yeah- noticed the transformers going. Going to be a problem. Moderate snow here now- about 6" thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsukev Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 The storm is getting is still in its early stages I think most will be still pleased I think some people are rightfully getting disappointed because the WAA is waining, not realizing the coastal isn't supposed to start to strengthen until between 9z and 12z 9around now). After that, colder air should be drawn in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heisy Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 <p>Heaviest snow of the night I'm guessing here @ Front Royal, with this paste I'm guessing dawn is going to be absolutely beautiful. </p> <p> </p> <p>From now till 10 o'clock the radar & death band will form, however like I keep saying there is going to be a highly convective band that forms from the CCB turning in on itself. This will be from about DC to central DE. I think this band forms around 11-1pm </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ger Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I just came from the window and I got the sense that something is changing...the dendrites look better, the air felt colder (wind has switched to the N)...that sort of thing.

Ian Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 One lesson we should probably try to keep in mind going forward is the RAP sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalcottWx Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Struggling to keep snow in this lull, common product of BL problems unfortunately... let's get banding going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 One lesson we should probably try to keep in mind going forward is the RAP sucks. Yeah, we probably let it get the better of us on the initial WAA stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 One lesson we should probably try to keep in mind going forward is the RAP sucks. Although...we all knew this would be hard due to time of year and temps in terms of stickage. We need the coastal to be legit. This first part really is wasted, and it sure would not have been even two weeks ago I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I'm pretty sure the NAM printed out an obscene amount of QPF by 12z..... dang - yeah I was kind of tuned out of the models last night and into today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I'm pretty sure the NAM printed out an obscene amount of QPF by 12z..... thru 4 am map. DCA has .18" thru 5. granted that band actually did well to the south for a while so they prob have double. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I may be totally wrong here, but I just think once that low is on a latitude just east of DC that comma head band is gonna come through with a northerly component to the wind and the party is gonna be on for you guys. I hope I'm right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
