midatlanticweather Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 In Purcellville as well - we are looking at an inch I think at best - unless the fluffy stuff hits - I always want snow, but I would hope DC gets in some banding and breaks the streak.

Fozz Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Here are the last 17 accumulating snow events for DCA (since 1/26/11),....I'm pretty sure we are properly conditioned to be let down...Sure..there will be some brief disappointment, but we know the drill 1/28/11 - 0.6" 2/9/11 - 0.1" 2/21-22/11 - 0.4" 3/27/11 - 0.2" 1/9/12 - 0.6" 1/20-21/12 - 1.1" 2/11-12/12 - 0.3" 12/26/12 - 0.2" 1/24/13 - 0.4" 1/25/13 - 0.4" 1/28/13 - 0.1" 2/1/13 - 0.2" 2/2/13 - 0.2" 3/6/13 - 0.2" 3/25/13 - 1.4" 12/8/13 - 0.6" 12/10/13 - 0.9" depressing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighStakes Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 oh yeah? I assumed Id be too far west to see the good stuff. Models are getting wetter with the early band of precip up here before 0z. Temps will not be a problem for you. Snow should stick for us right away. It will be a close call on bands that develop later, but history says you be good. I wouldn't be surprised if northern md wakes up to temps around 5 degrees. My guess is 3-4 inches is a good bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worry about the gradient. who am I kidding? I'm not worried at all, it will snow however much it snows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow. Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 They might eke out a 0.3" I think I am going with 0.7" for now since they haven't recorded one in the last 17 events, but maybe that is too ambitious...we both know I can measure 1" on a picnic table and DCA will pop out a 0.4" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtracker Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Kinda surprised at the GFS. I'd like to see the Euro come in as wet. Still liking an inch for DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 all the surrounding stations are 35-36 I see that... but watch as we go into the evening when places are 32/33 around DCA and DCA is like 38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTRWx Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 DCA 37... right... its laughable at times how they are constantly 4 to 6 degrees warmer than surrounding reporting stations at times From the Wundermap obs, DCA is within 2 degrees of many surrounding stations on this side of the pond, but the airport is closest to the Potomac. It's funny how my Weatherwise Instruments station has been right in line with DCA since I have installed it back in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 you think we can get a band once the temps plummet into the 20s? It sure looks like they will. How much falls is a wildcard. And if it's windy all bets are off. Sitting @ 34 here. Cautiously optimistic for 1-2" here. And most importantly.....it will stick on the streets....for once.
