Bob Chill Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Wow, euro ind members are starting to really like next wed-thurs. Half the members show accum snow @ dca. 13 @ 2+" and looks like 8 or so are 5". Biggest hit is 10" from what I'm seeing. DCA is close to 2" on the means. Big jump from last night. ETA for snowdude: SBY has 16 members @ 6"+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Are the EPS related to the EURO? Ryan Maue @RyanMaue 25m Even more amazing, half of EPS ensembles go for major 6-12'' snowfall along Atlantic coast from Georgia into Carolinas Ryan Maue @RyanMaue 28m Wow, the snowfall forecasts for Gulf Coast including Tallahassee, Jax & Gainesville more legit -- EPS members 50/50 on > 1'' accums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchnick Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 hmmm, 5-6 days out and GFS is off the coast, but with the last 3 runs trending better, and the Euro shows a minor hit with ensemble members suggestive of a light to mod event how can we not like where we are at this point....and forget him, he's the exception Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 The only snow event of consequence where BWI/DCA received a moderate or better event along with places like SBY and Norfolk I can recall was the 3/1/80 storm which crushed SE VA and eastern NC about as much as Duke crushed by hopes that night when they beat MD by 1 pt in the ACC tournament (and, of course, MD had several chances to win at the end.) I think BWI received around 5" and DCA was probably closer to 7" (I'm sure Wes has a better memory of it in light of my double emotional devastation that night!) Elizabeth City, NC was near 2' and Norfolk was probably closer to 18". I would also note that 79/80 was a neutral ENSO with below temps DEC, FEB & MAR at BWI.

WxUSAF Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 1/25/00 gave SBY and Norfolk decent snows, right? The snowfall map I'm looking at shows them in the 1-4" or 4-10" contours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymengineer Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 1899 1/1857? Greater than a foot from NC through New England, including Norfolk, peaking around 2 feet in the DC/Baltimore area... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeSuck Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I didn't move here from Norfolk to see them get snow blasted. Otherwise I may see how you guys felt DEC. 26, 2010 when I was in Norfolk getting snow blasted ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymengineer Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 we need a time machine Can you imagine what a repeat of 1899 would be like on this board? Temps below zero all the way down to Florida, temps in the negative teens here. The blizzard itself: >12" of snow from central SC all the way through Maine, >4" across MS, AL, GA, and SC, 2-3" across southern LA through to northern FL... 50+ mph gusts with temps in the single digits during the peak of the blizzard in DC....

snowfan Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 This current cold snap is equivalent to what in the summer time? days with highs in the teens = 100? highs in the 20s = 95-99? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 1/25/00 gave SBY and Norfolk decent snows, right? The snowfall map I'm looking at shows them in the 1-4" or 4-10" contours. I don't think SBY did very well and the coastal areas that the models are currently depicting to do well next week did not do well with it http://www4.ncsu.edu/~nwsfo/storage/cases/20000125/ the Euro map sort of peaked my interest in the chances of SE VA and eastern NC doing well along with us since there is enough cold air around next week, unlike most times with only a few other storms mentioned, it is pretty rare, though obviously not impossible, for DCA/BWI to score well along with the beach areas of VA and NC if it's going to happen, next week probably presents the best chances for snowfall over a wide area of the SE and the MA in a very long time I'd like to see it happen, but odds still favor somebody getting screwed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both were good for Salisbury but not as good for southern VA, although it looks like Norfolk got some ocean or bay enhancement in 2/2-3/96.

Been there, done that, experienced the awful sequels...and don't mind if it's years before another sequel is released!! I'd take highs in the teens in mid-winter any day.

Scarlet Pimpernel Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 The hotter the better (in summer) Play a softball double-header in the outfield on one of those days and you might not agree! Especially when the opposing team crushes damn near every pitch out there and you're running all over the place. EDIT: I will say that the cheap beer makes it a tad more bearable!

BristowWx Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Cold temps yes but none of the threats look that solid to me...it will take some winter magic to pull that trough back NW to make this a good threat for most of us on Wednesday...I may eat those words though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Pimpernel Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 that is brutal. I am just a weirdo that loves extreme weather. Back to the topic though. It seems like we are ending this month the right way, coldest temps of the season and multiple threats on the table. Ha! Yeah, it was brutal especially since our team sucked that year so they were hammering the ball everywhere! I agree, extreme weather is very interesting, though I much prefer the snow/cold variety. And yes, on topic...I'm intrigued by the last part of this month in general and the possible event next Wednesday in particular. Interesting that the Euro (and to a lesser extent the GFS?) is giving some nod to that potentially becoming more than a Carolina-only storm. As someone said earlier in here, when's the last time we had a storm that ran the coast? May be nothing in the end, but...well, worth keeping an eye on I suppose.

Bob Chill Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 18z gefs shows 2 hits and some scrapes. One hit looks just like the euro. But only 2 members doesn't give much confidence. But it's a baby step from 12z. OTOH- 18z gefs is very active down the line. Pac moisture opens up and all kinds of various looks. We're on the winning side of some solutions and losing side on others. Regardless, there's a heck of a lot of storminess across the country and lots of moisture. Superbowl sunday is going to get interesting for nyc I have a feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
