Ian Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 I'm not confident that things would change much if we went into January with the same pattern we've been in. If not, then I'd rather the pattern broke and brought something different - whether it be warmth or cold and snowy. I really care which one it is. I'm not moving south yet. That's not for another 20 years or so. Can't wait to be able to fish and golf nearly year round. I doubt this pattern would be much better in January.

mattie g Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I doubt this pattern would be much better in January. That's my thinking. We might average a few degrees cooler then, but I just don't see it producing much differently than it has. Maybe a little more on the margins, but nothing worth writing home about. I'm sure the norther and wester folks would disagree though - and I wouldn't blame them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and extra 1-3" on a week of 12" wouldn't be so bad probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDweatherman Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Bobs clipper drops over .1 for BWI this run and to the N/W. Vort energy again more south and has a low off delmarva that brings higher totals to NE. Also like the trailing vort that goes thru NVA this run which could bring thru a second wave of shsn/light snow. (Sfc temps around 31-32, but nighttime and cold air preceding the snow should enable what does fall in any kind of rates to stick.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 We need another 30-50 miles south with the vort I think before anybody sees measurable. GFS looks kinda nice but we're just on the outside edge looking in at this one Clippers like this have very special ways of being as dry as garrett county on sundays.

I agree, being on the fringes is not where you want to be preferably. I think if it just comes a bit more south things look okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 Another day past the highs by late morning. We should maybe account for that going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDweatherman Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Yes Ian you're probably right. Also, the highs getting up there is not a good sign for things. Hopefully tonight really radiates down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I suppose a net + for the clipper is timing. Couldnt ask for better than what the gfs shows. If anything falls it will be on subfreezing ground. It's found more ways to snow lately than not. We should keep that in mind going forward.

Yeah it looks like good timing with that on the 12z gfs since we don't have much CAD, I wouldn't want it during the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Those northern folks are going to scoff at 1-2" of snow.I'm scoffing at a clipper, period. If the gfs (I guess Mother Nature) moves that vortex any further south as opposed to further north, then we truly are in a different type of winter.PS-Hope Santa has a boat.

I-83 BLIZZARD Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Im a regionalist. These imby events have been nice, but I still favor the widespread events so everyone can share in the fun and stories. I am all over Md and the eastern shore, from Talbot, Dorchester, to Ocean City. I have worked around DC before and still travel there sometimes for work reasons. It is nice to see picts of my haunts covered in snow. When everyone shares in the fun its a sign that winter is here in full force. With that said Ill take another 1 to 3 before a warmup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Im a regionalist. These imby events have been nice, but I still favor the widespread events so everyone can share in the fun and stories. Agreed. Part of the fun for me is seeing the reports and the enthusiasm from all over. Getting some gusty winds here, whitecaps forming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchnick Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Any good news on the Euro? does have the clippers, with the 2nd one looking pretty good unfortunately, I'm using Wunderground maps and the run is not fully updated so I can't see every panel, but 63 hrs looks like an inch+ over much of DCA/BWI, but just don't hold me to it until I see the missing panels too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Euro isnt as good as the gfs with the Clippers. Vort and energy stays a bit too far north for fun here. Next weekend is an epic snowstorm from central pa-ne. We get a ton of precip of the wrong type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get a ton of precip of the wrong type. this year is shaping up into a 93/94 cousin not exactly the same, but it is featuring a he!! of a gradient of which we are on the wrong side, albeit "closer" than in 93/94 wrt snowfall maybe as we get into JAN the wave lengths that HM often references change allowing the gradient to sag south some....we sure don't need much relatively speaking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all overunning so it's not complicated verbatim. We might be in the crosshairs. Or it might be a no nothing. We'll get a pile of looks this week for sure.
